You don't need high APM to be good at SC2 (Goody, Axslav, iNcontroL, and Sjow come to mind). But if you want to be a super gosu, having 300 effective APM helps so you can multitask and micro like a God *cough* MMA *cough*

Grubby is a mystery to me. Sometimes he plays so well, and then he just fall apart...
SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...

So sad for Socke, if it weren't for that one mapscore difference, he would be the one to advance (considering that he beat JYP).

MMA looks absolutely frightening. TASTOSIS give this man credit right frickin now. Why does noone accept he's the best terran in the world?

They've been obviously biased against MMA for ages. Well, not so much Tasteless, but Artosis definitely doesn't like the propensity of MMA to pull out cheesy all-ins to win. But its a touch hypocritical, I've seen NesTea and the like do 6 pool -drone pull, or Mvp try to cheese and they are met with nothing but adulation.

And most still consider him best in the world. The SC2 community looks too closely at recent results though, so its always strange.

not to say MMA only, seems Artosis don't really like SlayerS. I dont know why. They only GSL caster that are in good relationship with slayers is Doa.
Marine is Terran strongest unit but it might be Terran's biggest weakness. Bcos of Marine so OP, other Terran unit regrettably have to be weak..

Thanks for the write-up, good stuff.

SlayerS is overdue for a GSL title, seems like MMA will be the first to take them there. OH and it looks like he might even clean up IEM too!

MMA fighting!!

8 hours til IdrAs matched, don't disappoint us like usual Greg.

I'm just glad MC survived his Protoss filled group. It was always gonna be tough when he had to play his current worst matchup so many times.

So rough for Nerchio and Socke. The groups were all so evenly matched, it sucks that they got knocked out. But them's the breaks.

Pretty much most of the players acknowledge MMA is the best Terran player right now. Don't let Artosis's bias let you think otherwise.

On GSL Off the Record Nada said MMA is the best terran player and unstoppable when he is on fire. Though he isn't the best at TvP. 100% accurate statement.
On State of the Game Nestea said that MMA was the best terran player or MVP which he kind of has to say since MVP is his teammate.

I'll take them 2's opinion over any caster.
