Was he just throwing that # out a a joke, was that based on one day, or what? Because right now that win% needs another 0. His partners are Clide and Tester, so I don't think it was a joke. However their styles may be better suited to beat him than drop harass (clearly its not working). | ||

Congrats to Cool for playing well but it's really ITR's predictable/passive play and poor decision making that's dictating the outcomes thus far I wouldn't consider myself a fanboy by any means - I'm just impressed by the immaculate decision making by FruitDealer. I think you'd agree when I say that he's currently the best Zerg we've seen so far. IdrA is a very good player, yet he lacks the assertiveness that FD is displaying. He somehow comes up with the right counter every time, spots every possible drop and reacts accordingly. I highly doubt IdrA would stomp ITR, since the series wouldn't be so dominated either way. I don't know if you've played any tournaments lately, but it's really getting to your nerves when everything you do is being countered. IdrA sometimes seems too hot-headed for me to become a really great player. But that's maybe a misconception. Fact is: FD is playing at the top of his game. And I honestly think nobody else would dominate ITR in such a fashion. The build of ITR is very solid, yet depends alot on harassment. And so far, FD has repelled every attempt in extraordinary fashion. And that's pretty impressing. | ||

It's really sad to see. We haven't seen a single decent move from the Terran all series. Why the fuck does it matter? You guys need to stop your one dimensional thinking. Yeah sure, ITR has a high skill cap, so does fruitdealer. But Skill is not the only thing incorporated in winning a tournament. It's also dealing with the metagame pressure, which ITR is obviously doing much worse than Cool. No excuses, no whining, no crying, CHILL IS BETTER IN THIS TOURNAMENT. No question about it. COULD ITR beat him? It's probably possible, but is he handling the pressure as well as Cool? Obviously not. Cool, in the entirety of his package, is stomping ITR. Hard. Everyone has off days, ITR should have prepared himself not to..75k is on the fucking line. And to top it all off, it's on terran super-favored maps. | ||

So yes, ITR is making more mistakes, and Cool is less affected by nerves it seems, doing less mistakes. Cool is also playing so good. He seems to not make any mistakes. | ||

Cmon hopetorture! You gotta mix up your play abit so that Cool doesn't feel like hes playing a perfect bot. Reapers, hellions, marauders, build them and pressure Cool so he doesn't feel comfortable taking bases by the dozen. | ||

thank you rainbow, for making zerg look good. For me it's like when someone does play as bad as HopeTorture the other player looks like a God when he beats him. And funny thing is that Zerg's random (hidden) expansions and Nydus in a base is such a cheesy and gimmicky play. C'mon, you gotta admit that. | ||

ITR isn't losing because of lack of micro/macro, he is losing the mind-games. FD can forsee his every move and trick him in to plays. | ||
