All credit to White-Ra though, his reactions in games 3 and 4 were spot on. Less flashy, but definitely smart play.

The games cast tonight were all fantastic. Really excellent tournament, by far the most exciting I've seen so far. During the semi's and finals i was on the edge of my seat the whole time, often squealing like a little girl. Especially in the match between TLO and nazgul on metalopalis I think was the game that everyone was waiting to see. The game that said SC2 is just as good as BW, and sc2 DOES have a late game, and it's amazing.
I cant help but feel sad after seeing it tho, knowing that brood war will most definetly die if we get more sc2 games like that!

you havent seen the semi-final i guess:

I said game 2 vs nazgul was awesome, the best SC2 game I've seen, but he still opened with reaper harass which is hardly indication of a late game strategy

If it wasn't for game 2 vs Nazgul and the Scrap Station game vs whitera which he would have lost if Ra had shift-rallied so his zealot came out the right side there wasn't a whole hell of a lot to praise.

spoiler of scrap station game.
+ Show Spoiler +
What the hell do you mean by NOT turning the game on its head? Did you watch the scrap station game really? He sneaks in zerglings into white-ras base, makes banelings and blows them up on white-ras probes. His main is contained by several cannons and gateways/robo.. he expands the creep so that his spine crawler gets in range of any pushed up units. He builds a spire to counter white-ras lack of anti-air units. He builds a nydus worm in white-ras base as white-ra is pushing in to finish his base. He pulls all of his units in the worm and kills off white-ras main, while having 300 minerals saved up for another hatchery at white-ras natural.

He snipes the remaining stalkers with the few mutas he has left. Then kills the pylons to power out the gateways.

How can you say that he didn't turn the game on its head?

If one, for example, were to go around cursing people and telling them they were worthless, it would make almost anyone think wow what a cruel person. Granted, when people say things like this, what they are really saying is that >act< is cruel/mean. Then that is plastered as what the whole person is, which is wrong. Welcome to reality though. edit*welcome to common language usage.

Reaper harass into fast expansion is absolutely an indication of late game strategy.

Machine did virtually identical spine crawler defense against Idra's gateway wall into cannon contain in an MLG game

He ran past proxy gates into an undefended main - this is a very common counter to cheese.

Nydus worming an empty main when all Ra's units are outside his base is smart, but again how is it revolutionary? The fact that he is capable of pulling it off under pressure is admirable and praise worthy, but it doesnt redefine SC2 or anything like the praise he is getting

"he builds a spire to counter Ra's lack of anti air" Truly boxer reborn, there is no one smart enough to think of this!
