I've always found Bomber SO over-hyped. Yes his playstyle is cool and was ground-breaking when he was an upcoming player, but his results just aren't enough for him to be considered very good, let alone one of the top terrans in the world. I'm really glad Oz and Curious got through, I hope they do well in the rest of the tournament. Bomber definitely wasn't overhyped. He smashed everyone in his first Code A and outplayed MVP in a TvT best of 7 before going off the Raleigh, NC and winning an MLG. He had the results back then he's just never push on from there. Even now though he's still an insanely good player, he would dominate foreign tournaments like there's no tomorrow but it's tough at the top of Code S. So many good players (and Inca) so it's easy to lose one series and you're out.
This. Bomber is a great player with amazing mechanics and a lot of potential to succeed, but as was mentioned its difficult when playing S class players like MMA, Leenock, MVP, etc. While your micro and macro can be phenomenal, nerves is a huge factor in games and maybe Bomber has trouble with nerves on the big stage?

Looks like the Korean Terrans aren't doing so well this season... maybe the Z's and P's have a better shot at a tittle! What. Out of the 8 spots in the round of 16 so far, 5 are terran. Thats pretty damn well. Fact checks, fact checks.
Well at least we're thankful that it's not more than 80 percent, right?

It does suck to see bomber go, but saying MvP has a “greedy” style is discrediting the player overall and, in my humble opinion, a pretty biased standpoint. I played Starcraft Vanilla from start til starcraft 2 came out, and all I see when I hear things like "mvp greedy" is a person who doesn’t truly understand what macro is. Saying that a player "built more stuff and won” sounds like a hidden way to attack the best player currently in the world. Ultimately, with statements like that are you also saying NaDa wasn't good at starcraft brood war because he made more stuff....Generally, as terran, having more supply is a rare thing and I think that players who are able to achieve this should be congratulated for their macro, not discredited by saying they won by "building more stuff"....In fact I haven't seen a game where either bomber or mvp didn't open the game with some kind of harass. In addition, most of these "building more stuff" terrans are clearly playing this way due to the maps being altered to where they essentially force long macro games instead of pressure builds like 2rax or the "clide push" having any chance of success.

I thought Bomber would make it out of his group but I guess not!
OZ played okey but still nice to see him make it through. Bomber ruined my Liquid bet 
Too bad Idra got BO-losses vs Nestea... Would have loved to see some longer games.

Is there any word on who's casting code s this week? :S Assuming Artosis is at home with his small baby.. I dunno and I'm very curious. Has anyone heard anything?

I was wondering if you could also just add series results? Sometimes I don't want to read through the game summaries and just want to know the results of the series with just one click. Thank you.

Quite the upset I was hoping for Bomber.
Him and his cool jackets...
