I would say congrats to ajtls on first place... but uhh... yeah... i dont think its deserved to be honest... =/
I haven't watched the games yet (not at home this weekend) but what happened that makes you say that? Congrats to the winner... though I was hoping HP would take it again! 2nd is bad at all, though, especially against such a strong lineup.
Basically, i asked everyone b4 the tourney started if they minded if people swapped races during the tourney (if you dont know, ajtls is a Zerg player that USED to play terran, he still trys to go T when hes against a Z opponent)
So... he decided to pick random throughout the tournament and did fine, making it to the final game through the winners bracket.
So the finals start (a best of 7 with ajtls up 1 game at the start) and ajtls goes random, gets zerg, and loses to hpthegreat
the next game (series now 1-1) he picks lost temple and goes random. Gets Terran and gets completely and utterly outplayed in every single facet of the game, Like if u can find this game in the replay pack PLEASE watch it... Hp played AMAZING. ajtls attempted thor drops on cliffs, tried harassing in many diff ways etc etc etc and got shut down all game long. and then, end game he has about 6-7 thors and a tiny little pack of infantry, and while Hp is nydusing him and smashing his base he just decides to lift off and move bases and base trade with Hp, killing his whole base and dwindling his roach army a little at a time because he had like 20 scvs in tow repairing the thors... Needless to say ajtls wins after being completely smashed all game long.
So after that game, (series now 2-1 ajtls is up) He picks random on iCCup.Enigma and once again gets zerg (supposedly his "main" race) and HpTheGreat smashes him yet again... in another convincing victory.
So now the series is tied 2-2 and before game 5 starts, Drogith asks ajtls what map he wants to play...
His first choice is Kulas ravine (hmm wonder why), well kulas isnt in the map pool. So his next choice is Delta Quadrant (hmm WONDER WHY), well thats not in the map pool either. So then we tell him what the map pool is (you can look at it urself on page 1) and he chooses Steppes of war.
This game he doesnt pick random... he picks terran and sits on 2 bases w/ tanks/infantry at his choke, and once again masses thor/hellion and kills hpthegreat in a single push with 20+ scs in tow repairing all of his massively overpowered thors.
and basically game 6 was the same old shit all over again... mass thor with a thousand scvs repairing (and yes he PICKED terran this game again)
So basically the reason i think it is undeserved is because hp played better than him in almost all aspects if not every aspect of their matches and ajtls still comes out with wins.
these games really brought to light how overpowered thors are... I mean, yea im tired of listening to all of the terran complaints too but seriously... thors w/ scvs to repair are absolutely retarded... (even after the matches i spoke w/ ajtls and 1st thing he said to me was "wow thors are so Overpowered"
So yea i think it was undeserved because:
1) he tried to pick gay ass terran maps
2) Chose terran after randoming all day because he knew hp was the better player
3) Did the same gay ass boring strat every game because he knows its overpowered, simply to win an extra 70 bucks. (this is the guy who won 1100 dollars the night before playing poker at a casino)
