EPTand F91 like i said almost took out stork in his prime at the time. So base on this, F91 is ahead of nony, but nony did have like a good month of living in a pro team to make up for the skill gap, I really hope nony can take out F91, or at least take 3 games from him and make it close.

Nony should abuse zergs lack of micro in lan lat and play defensive/grade heavy lategame oriented toss. If he does I'm sure he can do all right. If he plays standard I'm sure just like with strelok f91 will be able to lag abuse him to death. I've seen a couple chinese zergs abuse cosairs lack of micro against early mutas a million times so that is definately an adjustment that we should hope nony keeps in mind. | ||

I don't think either player is being particularly mannered (assuming that Ash's posts were made following a request by F91, and weren't entirely his own idea), but it's in the past, just shake hands, agree on a standard beforehand, and try again. | ||

This means that either the Chinese as a whole are much better than we previously thought, or that something else is at work in the Liquibition games (aka lag). | ||

Winning in 'unplayable' lag, hardly constitutes defeat. It's rescheduled anyways. | ||

I don't think that's very conclusive - maybe he had a bad matchup, or maybe people in China are more familiar with his style (I'm sure the top Chinese players play each other at least a fair amount), or maybe he just had a bad day/tournament. He has been convincingly better than these foreigners, so if there was lag it could factor in, but the results themselves don't prove anything. If he were losing to C+ players on ICCUP all over the place and then 5-2d Idra and Strelok, then we could wonder. | ||

Before that, about 1% of the TL population knew who F91 is, and the Liquibet statistics showed JF as the overwhelming favorite. Because JF was coming off 4 Liquibition wins, everyone just assumed he'd steamroll everyone. And then F91 came along and basically demolished JF, and now, 3 more Liquibitions later, TL is enamored with F91. If Nony wasn't Nony, people'd be predicting F91 4-0. Not many people here have an accurate gauge of the skill levels of many of the foreign pros relative to each other. People sway where the wind blows. I need to learn to put things into prospective like you do. You wrote that whole thing out addressing the ignorance level on this forum without offending anyone. I like you. | ||

PJ / Lx / F91 / Super etc... are ( at least imo ) on the same level than Ief, Strelok Nony or Idra lol. And tbh China >>>>>>>>>>> any other country ( except Korea ;D ). They have like 10 players who could be on liquibition. Now try to find 10 players who deserve to be on this showmatch in the US or even Poland ( two quite strong countries ). You will find 4-5 max :/ | ||

Super's, in my opinion, on a lower level. But this proves my point about how most people here don't have an accurate view of the skill level of foreigners, especially Chinese ones - you basically presented Lx as a "nobody" who beat F91, when in fact he was the favorite going into the matchup. | ||

I know there are quite a few rich TL posters. Maybe one of them can donate money to fly F91 to US (not Nony to China cause that would just give him another excuse)? Or maybe we should start a pot for "donate to F91 US ticket" | ||

There is absolutely no reason to come post a note like that - if that's not a straight up flame/troll I don't know what is. I can think of a million better ways to raise the issues that Ash raised, and explain the story, without needing to convince us that Nony is bm - let public opinion decide that Nony was at fault if you're truly on the "right" side. It's not a flame/troll, it's just an argument; with support and etc to back it up. In fact, it could maybe be the truth (<---key word, maybe), in which case it's anything but a flame. It's the follow-up posts that ignite the flamewars. | ||
