The part on Sea described why I use MLG (and not only GSL) as a true measure of a person's skill, because when given so much time to prepare, build orders wins/uncounterable play happens so often

Monty Python is the best thing.

Also, I really liked the article regarding Sea. It's an interesting point, and I'll have to keep my eye out for more players like that.

I disagree that Code S is weighed too heavily when people consider player skill. I think it still isn't weighed heavily enough as shown by everyone saying Nestea wasn't going to get out of his group. He got Ro16 Code S last season and that should have been enough to make him the favorite along with MVP but everyone was looking at his recently MLG/Blizz Cup performance and said he wouldn't get out. Then there are things like IPL's power ranking having Stephano in top 5 and a bunch of foreigners who got knocked out in first round of Code A or Code S in the top 25.

We need to have these for the IPL TAC. Not only is it a better-run tournament, but it has better casters, better teams, and is generally awesome. If TeamLiquid could give it some hype, then I think we could really be able to celebrate a teamleague!


Omg I hope you are joking. None of that is true.

Isn't another explanation for players like Sea solid mechanics but poor mind games. They win when the opponent can't prepare just for them for a week, when the opponent is prepared they lose.

One more thing about BOMBER is that he has the highest ELO vs protoss of any sc2 player even after his Code S demise. Crrazzzzzyyy good against protoss.
Our Protoss, Who art in Aiur HongUn be Thy name; Thy stalker come, Thy will be blunk, on ladder as it is in Micro Tourny. Give us this win in our daily ladder, and forgive us our cheeses, As we forgive those who play zerg against us.

But preparing builds has a lot to do with creativity and skill. You can't really argue that one is a better measure of skill than another, because they're so different.

Wow I bet on startale but I didn't expect Bomber to unload such dominance as that!
Thanks for the highlights, Ive been too busy to catch gstl this week and always appreciate the write up.

Legend didn't catch it, but he scanned because he was sending a drop to Symbol's 3rd and caught a glimpse of the army. That drop was actually what won Mvp the game - Symbol's army was out of position to defend and he was definitely going to lose the 3rd base. So he basically had no choice but to try and kill Mvp's army (Mvp knew this, that's why he turtled on the low ground and didn't try to defend his main).

Huh not sure if you can make that distinction that well. Don't you remember when the slayers terrains came up with the elevator play with hellions and marines or when naniwa did 1 build against zerg every game

I'm not sure if someone already mentioned it, but MVP's seemingly insane scan on Symbol was because a dropship passed by close enough to see some of the roaches. I still don't know why Symbol didn't just check to see if the main was naked (which it was) and then drop there instead of saying "ok MVP you win."

Finally got to watch the IM v. TSL games. So sad for TSL, although when Symbol finally took out Yoda in such a boss way, it was so inspiring to see the manner drones and banelings waltzing into Yoda's main.

He didn't have enough overlords (only 11 were with the army)...If he dropped the main, it would have been with just banes + 4 lings or so and he was guaranteed to lose 2/3 for free with that little marine clump patrolling. That would mean marching speedlings and roaches into the front by themselves. Not that it mattered, he lost his 3rd (to that drop), had to rebuild his Warren, and was behind 51-73 on workers...it was already checkmate at this point.

Nice read.. Longest sc2 article that I've read in it's entirety to date . I'd like slightly longer game descriptions ( I don't have a pass so I will never beable to watch those videos, and since free VODs is a lost concept for the gsl/gstl... ), also probably not the best to say who wins in the first sentence, but other than that, as said previously: nice read !

Great write-up, such a beautiful piece as it speaks much truth.
Sea is my favorite SC player personality-wise and style as well!
