Second game also had a massive mistake by Tester. At the encounter on the his nat ramp, he throws down multiple forcefields that cut off half the army to the lower left side, but leave a tiny choke that allows units through. He proceeds to hit the second half of the army on the right side with his stalkers, immortals, sentries, but not with his zealots. In fact, most of his zealots decide to try to go through that little choke on the left side to get to the blocked army, and then they died. If Tester brought those zealots into the right side, not only would they tank most of the shots only half of ITR's army, Tester would have wiped that half while doing full dps to everything. Tester's play was bad in those two games. Whether there is racial imbalance or not, the ultimate fact is that Tester did play badly. | ||

The matches today weren't as exciting as I had expected. It's unfair to blame the players though. Playing out there isn't like playing at home and there are many outside factors that can affect the games. Maka for example, isn't feeling very good these days he even said he wants to take break until season 3(he did register for season2 though). This might be a rumor but I heard someone say Tester has cold too. Also many players don't get much sleep because of nerve and lack of exercise. We have also changed the stage, so al booth are facing the audience and it makes the players more aware that they are being watched. It's like we say in Korea, "even monkeys fall off the trees". Even the best people can have bad day. | ||
