looks like a zvz final :|

at least there's a 3rd place match

Given how good the last ZvZ series was i'm not that sad about it Plus i think it's better for Dimaga to play vs Cool.

Blistering Sands is so hard for Terran

I did love Cool's whole "baneling bomber" tactic, with dropping banelings flying overlords full of banelings over the biomech ball.

Good game. I would have preferred a TvZ finals, but considering how awesome the games of Dimaga vs Check were it'll still be pretty good, I think. And we still have 3rd place matches unless I'm mistaken.

Some epic series today, though. Very entertaining.

Cool made it look easier than it is. Honestly, I think Maka's big failing in these games was the failure to (successfully) harass Cool early on. Letting Zerg get that kind of a macro advantage basically leads to a gg mid-game. He needed much better harass to keep the Zerg on his toes. But his failed early pressures in the first two games threw him off, and so he opted for a more defensive play that resulted in Cool simply out-expanding and out-macroing him.

I think it's more accurate to say that IdrA's ZvZ is not up to par. He had to face off against two Zergs after winning against a Terran. Dimaga faced a Terran and a Protoss after losing against a Zerg.


Except that they both went 1-2. Dimaga was just lucky his group ended in a tie break. If you look closely at the groupings, the powerful guys are separated from each other. Dimaga is supposed to go through. People know him as the best zerg in Europe. He just barely made it.

He made an unusual mistake against Beckham in the first game.

To me it was pretty clear after watching DIMAGA steamroll Beckham and Loner that he's much better than those asians. Maybe he can't pass through some koreans, but in general, he's much better than 90% of the players in the tourney.

I still don't know he's better than 90% of the players in the tourney, but he's in a better position than most. It was funny how people said DIMAGA would be steamrolled by the koreans (just read page 40-50). I wonder what they are going to say now lol.

Haven't heard much from Lucifron either, but I think the other five look good. White-Ra should also make the list though.

Course things may all change if Tester wtfpwns the Altitude Invitational like Artosis played him up to do.

How can you put TLO anywhere near top 5? I'd wager he's not even amongst top 10. He's a solid player and I give him major props for playing random but I dont rank him at the same level as the top single race players.

Results matter more than unfounded opinions. TLO has done extremely well if you look at all the tournaments that have been done throughout the SC2 beta. You might not think he's a top 10 player, but his RESULTS put him in the top 5 easily (currently he's ranked #1 based on results):

On a ranking list that is extremely outdated and doesn't include most of the best players... it's obviously biased towards European and American tournaments.
