Why?



Because Zerg obviously ain't that bad that people, and especially zergplayers, makes them out to be.



posts like this make me want to stab my eyes out. Cool's play is so far ahead of ANYONE else, if he was playing T or P the way he played he'd still have won. So arguing your point is moot and you have no grasp on the game.


LOL.

No, dude, YOU don't have a good grasp on the game.

The whole point is that you should be GREAT at this game. If you're great at the game, you can win with any race. It's easier to play with others, but it's not IMPOSSIBLE to win with zerg.

Which means, people should just start playing BETTER instead of WHINING. OF ALL RACES.

FUCK YEAH, GOOD JOB COOL!
Im not a n00b, I just play like one.

Yeah I was jumping out of my chairs over that smoke screen ambush...
I had no idea why why why would ITR chase into the smoke, could've just went on harrassing lol, and he freaking knew the zerglings are trying to get him

He thought they were headed straight to his SCV line. He was trying to get the reapers back as quickly as possible. Didn't think the lings would be lying in wait. So fucking clutch.

Why?
That's what I'm thinking as well. Why'd he be raging at that?
At the prospect of a zerg winning the tournament, thus putting out some of the fire under the imbalance discussions?


Because people are going to use this as a reason to why Zerg isn't UP and say 'play like cool' when in reality Rainbow just played quite poorly.


So everyone cool played just played badly? He did so much better than any other zerg out there and tbh idra's showing was pretty poor this tourney didn't live up to the hype around him at all.
Ignore my opinions I am bad

Because he was advocating that zerg has close to NO chance vs Terran. And Cool raped 3 of them on his way to the title.

GG Cool.

Lesser zergs: take notice.


But you have to recall that Cool was saying exactly the same and that he had a shitty win percentage against top T.

Rainbow really Does know only how to macro.
If he goes for cheese or early harass , he gets completely lost and then starts making basic mistakes.

just look at it from his perspective, he has a tremendous amount of skill and gets cheesed and then makes a small mistake and he's out of the tournament, while fruitdealer gets to fight a clearly out of his game ITR for an easy finals, all the while making zerg look like its completely balanced, which is clearly not true at all, when exeptionally good players pull out a victory by any margin it feels like it delays the much needed zerg patch

This is one of the main problems. Now there are going to be so many players saying that "Oh, Zerg is totally fine, they're not UP", when in reality they DO need to be changed.

Cool played unbelievably, but ITR tilted very hard in the second and third games, and didn't take advantage of ANY of the things that makes Terran OP in the early/mid game.

Congrats to fruit! Game 1 and 3 were very nice. For major tournaments we have...

IEM = terran
MLG = protoss
GSL = zerg

Not as unbalanced as the qqers want you to believe I guess. Idra and other top zergs now have some explaining to do about their skills if they switch races. I hope I hear a lot less balance complaining now as I have played next to no SC2 in September due to being uninspired by all of TL's qq threads/posts.

What's up with all the ITR hate? He didn't play his best here but he def doesn't deserve the bm posters are displaying here.
Did the people calling ITR a "nobody" watch any of his other games this tournament? He really deserved to be in the finals. So did Fruit Dealer.

Anyway, I thought the finals were awesome ^^ except for getting kicked from GOM and having to watch a laggy restream. FD earned his win. GG.
