It was freakin cheese fest, and still these two guys are most beloved progamers ever... I don't think most people in this thread know that a BW forum even exists. | ||

Trying to seem unbiased and neutral is pretentious in this case. Just be honest, it was terrible and lame. yes it is. because this is a live report thread not a "I whine because my favorite player got cheesed" thread. Noone wants to read it, just keep it to yourself and live with it. | ||

since it is too common in BW, it is part of game that you prepare for cheeses. And this is always what Euro/American players lack back in the days of BW. Too stiff and predictable. Cheese is much harder to defend in BW. | ||

Bummed that TLO lost to cheese. Also bummed that no foreigners are left in GSL (but I still some Koreans to root for). Also bummed by the haters on both sides of this thread. Both TLO and Hyperdub played well at times, made mistakes at others. Anyone who plays TvT knows that TLO's fast Thor build puts him at a slight disadvantage to the standard fast tank build, and I think the discrepancy in the first two games can be attributed to TLO's build weakness as opposed to straight up Hyperdub "outplaying" TLO. Hyperdub is a great player, but it is hard to be polite to a guy who cheeses and trusts his fate to luck rather than skill. But one should not expect class and sportsmanship from kids playing video games. Finally: seriously TLO, scout close positions first. | ||

Even at the first game hyperdub had almost always the upper hand and it was his fault for giving more and more chances to TLO to come back, a more solid player would have crashed him very early IMHO. Also cheese is nothing new and ofc TLO has seen it many times on ladder or, even better, at OGS house, if not then coaches doing something wrong. | ||

OT: It was a great set of games - Players do what they need to do to win. Do the unexpected ya im still trying to figure out why i was banned from TL IRC just b.c i predicted TLO losing in the ro32. when lurking and in the past i always herd issues of mods and power hungry abuse but never really thought much of it till now. | ||

Even in the first matchup I was smashing my fist onto the table and shouting stuff like "F''' YEAH Korean 4-warp rush!" when I was attempting to predict the play. Then the "finals" with TLO just intensified the atmosphere even more. Also, I really love the Artosis+Tasteless caster couple. Occasionally, they miss some things but they got so awesome stuff going on that it doesn't matter. No huge "foreigner history" was made this GSL, but gotta say... well played sir(s)! | ||

Those who are saying TLO got outplayed should ask themselves why Hyperdub, considering he should think then he is the better player, would decide to play such a risky build in the last game though. | ||

Hyperdub proved he's a solid player (despite what haters might be saying), I wonder if he'll put up a good fight. | ||

It's a valid option to win games. Get used to it. Okay, cool, then I don't. Cheese is bad for the game as a spectator sport. It's the equivalent of distracting the referee while you deal a low blow. Note that there's a difference between not respecting a player (I think Hyperdub is a great player) and not respecting a game he played. I don't put anyone on a pedestal, nor do I demonize anyone. If you play entertaining games and have talent, cool. If you go for the zero skill cheap trick, I'm not going to offer some sort of feigned props to games well played, because the deciding game was decidedly not so. | ||

People throw around the word "creative" way too much when referring to him too. When other people do unorthodox builds, they're instantly labeled noob, but when TLO does it he's some sort of genius. Hyperdub outplayed him in game 1 and dominated him in game 2. If it wasn't for one mistake in game 1, hyperdub would have won 2-0. He´s like Nal_Ra or Boxer, always trying new and creative things. If Huk did an unorthodox build people wouldn´t call him a noob, if any known good player does a weird build he doesnt get called a noob, since you can most of the times see the intent of the build, what its meant to do and achieve. While someone not as great tries a weird build and completely fails, you often dont see the intent or purpose, or just notice that its plain thought out wrong/executed. TLO is very creative, there is no denying it. | ||
