Or it could just be TLO If you've watched any of the Korean Terrans play TvP, they've been opening 1-2 port banshees for a while now, with strong 1 base play. It seems like a very strong strategy. | ||

You gotta understand that White-ra haven't been playing as much as he could have. Afaik, he's having a wedding or something like that with his fiance(+the fiance's rage about playing alot). If this is true, it explains alot. He was much better in beta nevertheless imo. | ||

the poor guy, he was fighting tooth and nail but just couldn't deal with the Terran arsenal, reapers then hellions then banshees then thors! TLO doing a great job abusing the strength of 1base Terran aggression. On August 19 2010 02:52 Sqq wrote: White-Ra is so average. Shown yet again. Cannot maintain any consistancy to his play at all. You don't know what you're talking about, White-Ra is the most consistent player in the foreign scene. Been so good for so long now, and continuing that trend in SC2. I mean come on the guy's been a force in every major SC tourney for years and years, legend status. | ||

I know about SC and all that, but in SC2 he is about as reliable as a thai hooker promising she has a smaller cock than you. its 50\50. | ||

Hopefully he'll get in the shape where he was in beta again, really miss him dominating. | ||

Just look at his play in some of the matches today and other matches. Sometimes he plays brilliant and to his races strenght, today he just looked totally lost. He was the last guy I would think would crumble under the pressure of a big event. | ||

While it sucks to know you've been eliminated, it just seems that on steppes he just threw in the towel and quit right there. At least keep up the fighting spirit my man. I know there were a few others on the stream who felt the same. indeed it did lol | ||

I dunno he looked pretty good in that second game right up until the last ditch banshee/marine push from tlo. | ||

Thats kind of my point, you would have guessed he would use that advantage to go on and push on to win, but just doesn't seem to have the edge, like he just looses it now and then. I love him as a player and has watched so much from him, thats probably why I'm one of his biggest critics of late. | ||

Shit happens, if White-ra played not as good today doesn't mean he sucks Mod edit: keep TL Posters in TL Poster thread please Change "Jaedong" to "white-ra" User was temp banned for this post. | ||
