True, but without the thors, could he have defended the mutas mixed in with the roaches? Plus, TLO shouldnt have sieged his tanks, unseiged does good dps and gives some mobility to the army | ||

I don't think tester lacks in late game.... in the game that he lost to TLO he got waaaay behind after losing his nexus to TLO's initial push. | ||

Idra played almost perfectly (hero Hellion aside) whereas TLO made a bunch of mistakes. I still think IdrA could have lost if TLO had micro'd his Thor timing push better. Plus, it is just stupid that getting one Thor out shuts down almost all Muta harass. They should let Corruptors shoot Thors (with the +massive) just like Colossi. Vikings and stimmed Marines are already insanely good AA, and Thors will still be good against massed air units (and kickass on ground). Terran doesn't need any more insanely good units. | ||

So it's going to be IdrA vs. Qxc in the semi-finals? Gonna be epic. But it's not going to be an all-Korean finals unless you consider IdrA to be Korean  | ||

Mutas power down your thors, it's usually gg for you.um what was the point of so many thors vs so few mutas ?

I was never higher than D/D+ ICCUP... 450+ Diamond so yes a low D player can do ok in Diamond (at least as it was phase 2)... Some have never even played SC1 and still got into Diamond... Anyways, enough beating a dead horse. | ||

Yea Thor's anti air is a bit redonkulos vs bio. Its basically a BW archon with awesome range | ||

I think he's saying that being in diamond doesn't mean much because in fact, even D-/D players can get into diamond (which is true) | ||

Yeah, I'm avoiding it as well, but the whining is spreading everywhere. I just fear the day when it'll got to the BW section too lol. But seriously, the whiners should shut the fuck up in threads like this. Show some respect to the players people :/. | ||

But it's not going to be an all-Korean finals unless you consider IdrA to be Korean American vs Korean finals would make the live crowd go NUTS at the party (I can't wait!). Either way they will be awesome games. I hope IdrA or Tester win. | ||

They sure do if Dustin Browder's kids are going to win some games! Serious balance is serious. | ||
