Even Morrow trained with Dimaga the day before the IEM final. I think those crazy reaper micro days are over with the 5 second nerf. You need at least 6-7 reapers to kill one roach. Zerg will just push your base with 5 roaches and leave couple of them in his base. You can't do anything about it. | ||

truth of the matter is that zerg is only a whisker weaker than terran/toss. in theory terran should beat equally skilled zerg. but too many factors and variables come into play throughout a series, or even a single match, so it's only a microscopic issue. | ||

I want to see that game again! Are they releasing replays ? I wonder how he did survive the game on scrapstation. I thought it was so over when he build that proxirax and fruitdealer went hatch first. It was amazing how he won that game. I think rainbow was probably nervous and didn't play his best, but can you actually play hatch first on scrap station vs that build ? Would the game have ended differently if rainbow build bunkers ? Anyways hopefully fruitdealer will qualify for GSL season 2 ! Cant wait to see more of him  | ||

Why can't people just accept that these two players knew each other well, having practiced together often, and therefore tried to keep one step ahead of each other? Cool just happened to be a step ahead, as you can see by how he 100% predicted those clifftanks both games - if ITR had went for early harassment, I expect Cool would have been ready for that too. Cool made Zerg look good, not ITR. Jeez. Judging for the recommendation polls in the OP, it's simply a vocal minority. Though I must admit I'm doing a terrible job of not letting it bother me heh. | ||

He tried to proxy reaper.on scrap station. He did a very fast mass marine push on desert oasis that would have destroyed Cool if he had gone mutas, etc. | ||

Balance talks aside, I don't anyone can argue that zerg is simply damn hard to play, much harder than protoss and terran. If you look at the gisado thread (daily king of the hill), there's constant terrans with long win streaks, never zergs (or protoss).

He did a very fast mass marine push on desert oasis that would have destroyed Cool if he had gone mutas, etc. imo tank drop the way he did is really, really poor on LT. Thor drop is a million times better, if you tank drop you need to first drop two after which you elevate some marines and SCVs along. He executed poorly. EDIT: So what I'm saying is that he had the right idea in some games but his execution was poor and that was hit shortcoming. You can't just say "oh he did go tank drop" since you also need to execute well. EDIEDIT: meh | ||

I might want to watch the first match again, the stream I was watching cut out just as ITR was beginning his DOOM PUSH and when it came back, all of a sudden Cool had Ultras everywhere. I think Cool's gamesense in anticipating ITR's moves and builds was the biggest factor in his victory (Not to take anything away from from his no-doubt excellent mechanics). The win on Kulas was really surprising. | ||

At this pro level of play the one who wins is the one who doesn't make a mistake and the one who keeps his cool... Great job Fruitdealer. You made the swarm proud. | ||

Also, what signature moves can be rightly attributed to Cool or even named after him? -Baneling drops onto mech or to kill SCVs at Planetary Fortresses? -Mass queen transfusion of mutas mid battle? -Smoke speedling ambush? -Transfused spine crawler defense against cliff drops? -Anything about the guy's use of fungal growth? | ||
