Select makes MM look so easy imo. But he just has an abnormal game sense. He really always attacks at precisely the right moment (and when he doesnt he loses the game :p)

Why are people upset that Select played out the ideal composition against Nony's?

Do you expect him to randomly make stuff to be cute?

Select played straight up and didn't try to rely on tricks to win, and that's 100% respectable.

I love everyone bashing select because of how he played. It really just shows that a lot of people on this site don't understand what makes a good player good, and instead think it all comes down to making mmm and 1aing like every bronze leaguer can do.

I also imagine a lot of people bashing select will cheer for idra(Who pretty much does the same build every game).

Select plays strong without gimmicks, and won. Nony tried gimmicky strats and lost. I don't see why Select is being bashed here. Blows my mind.

nony saw select going for a reactor rax in every single game so far, he responds by going for phoenix

and this right after trying to do some weird as hell proxy robo build which there was no reason for since he had to turtle his starting stalkers against the starting t army anyway and immortals move as fast as stalkers

and ppl whine about terran? okkkk

Sen lost to Select in a BO3. I think he could possibly beat Idra.


Lost is too weak of a word. I saw those games and that was good ol fashion wholesome rape.

Exactly. Nothing wrong about Select, of course you do what works. Let blizzard etc worry about that it is boring to watch. Cause it is.

@Frack

It's the match up really. It's dull and limited, and Nony was a bit cocky to try phoenixes.

Why should phoenix be any good against MM? They're AA units with harrass abilities. There's creativity, and then there's making a unit that is hard countered by your opponents build.

People aren't complaining because SeleCT is cheesing or being gimmicky, he's just boring to watch. As spectators to what purports itself as a spectator esport, it's incredibly boring to watch a player make 3 units with 1 or 2 additional ones every game in a row, utilizing no variation in strategy whatsoever. Yes, his control is phenomenal. Yes, he does it perfectly, but MMM isn't new nor is it creative.

PvT seems impossible if you don't get a build advantage. Waiting to see how kiwi or huk deals with select

Nony actually had the lead in the two games he played standard and only lost the first one because of bad unit control and over committing to a failed attack. Even in the game XC he could have won had he not chased down the wounded units and lost all his stalkers.

Yeah he made a mistake and was punished for it.
