I mean, he's only considered to be one of the best Korean Terrans in the world... I doubt Machine or HayprO will stand much a chance against IdrA, and SjoW probably won't beat him either, but Bomber will most likely clean up that group. His play is so solid that I don't see any of those players beating him; plus he doesn't do idiotic things like IdrA. Every IdrA fanboy out there ready to flame me, listen up: he's great, he's super solid, and when he gets angry none of it matters. IdrA is a fantastic player, and if you gave him the mentality and determination of a Korean pro-gamer (basically if he kept his head up and kept fighting) he would dominate for sure. He just makes stupid decisions like going for the same stupid all-in against MC over and over or leaving a game early such as he did against HuK or MMA. Regarding Group C, I can tell you that I doubt TLO or SeleCT will do well. If they prove me wrong and put up incredible games, then I'll be just as happy as anyone else, but their record in Group play at the last two MLGs seems to support me when I predict that neither will do well in their groups. Honestly, with two players who have managed to go 1-4 or 0-5 two MLGs in a row in a single group, it's hard to look at a group and say "Wow, that's a really scary group of death." Granted having both  TesteR AND  DRG in a single group is kind of scary, and it makes me really look forward to their match. But honestly, I am willing to bet that DRG and TesteR will take first and second in that group. It's sort of the same with Group B where despite having some good talent, Bomber and IdrA will almost certainly take first and second. Group A and Group D both seem to have a lot more spread but still ridiculously talented players. Group A is near impossibly to predict since there's SOOOOO much talent and ability. Think of Group A like this: fourth or fifth place (or maybe both if iNcontrol do well!) will be HuK, NaNiwa, Rain, or CoCa. That is crazy scary. Same with D, where Sheth, NaDa, or Ret all could very well win their group. That's what really makes a group of death. On August 25 2011 00:50 GleaM wrote: Lol this is hilarious! But kinda sad and true... Koreans think 1-1-1 is too strong... and ZvP 3-4 hatch before gas is too strong... What does toss have at the highest level like this? I agree, that certainly would explain:
Honestly, outside of Korea, Protoss do well in every tournament (and even in Korea, last Code A was PvP finals and MC continues to dominate except when he gets cocky). And if your proof was the last MLG, the reason was that most of the Koreans there were Terran or Zerg. The two top placing non-Koreans were both Protoss ( HuK and NaNiwa) and the only two Korean Protoss were Alicia and Choya who both had to play through the Open Bracket. Now, why didn't they do better? Well Alicia lost to ToD twice and Choya lost to Tyler and iNcontroL. Please take note that all three of those players play Protoss, so you can't really cry imbalance. Really, I don't understand how suddenly Protoss is the weakest race in the game and if you try to say anything else you're an idiot who knows nothing about the game. Look at all that Green for Protoss above this. That's all Protoss players winning and succeeding despite the "imbalance" of the ENTIRE race. All those players are great, but frankly, I don't think a single one of them is SO mechanically talented or having such incredible game sense that despite playing through severe imbalances they still win tournaments. The game is not imbalanced. Stop complaining and saying stupid things like "Protoss will never win" because frankly outside of Korea, Protoss seem to consistently place if not win entire tournaments (I think that the reason why there's such a heavy Terran win percentage in the GSL is just simply due to the fact that there are more Terrans than there are any other race). | ||
