Let me tell you something guys, Nal_ra's performance was great, and mensrea is such an entertaining writer, that after i finish watching the matches live, I'm just as excited to log on to teamliquid.net and read his write ups.HIs level of English is unheard of over here, I being an English teacher over here am just facinated how a korean(no racism here, it's said going from korean to leaning english is one of the hardest things to do) has such good English. Mensrea keep up the good work.
ps. Something tells me your a huge fan of Protoss :D maybe that's why i love your articles so much, I conclude to this hypothesis because You did not even mention the match the match between the two zergs on bifrost, excelent match where one gets ling upgrades and nothing but scourges, not even one mutalisk.


Thx. I appreciate the kind comment.

I focused on the Nal_rA games because he won the mini-tournament and he's the player most people had their eyes on. If I seem a bit biased towards the toss race (I don't deny this at all), it's only because they are so under-represented in the various pro gaming leagues (at least for now). It's a significant development when a kick-ass toss user like Nal_rA shows up because there are so few of them around. On the other hand, there are ultra-gosu T and Z users in abundance who get into Starleague all the time (The current Panasonic Starleague has only 2 Protoss users out of 16 players, for example).

On the other hand, I don't believe my reporting has unfairly ignored any of the top players from the other races. A good play is a good play and a kickin' player is a kickin' player - and I'll say it, regardless of race. My only true bias is towards good, clean, fun SC gaming.
