Not that i'm saying it's OP, kiwi showed some good strengths and attempted to counter with inventive play, but Idra can watch Select's game and know EXACTLY what to expect. Selects best option is to change it up and deviate from what he has done every game. Select is an awesome player but it's sad that he doesn't deviate enough. What ever wins you games i guess, so he can't be faulted for that. "Yeah he uses mainly Bio + Medivac and Viking support". You could say that about any Platinum or Gold Terra but it's only SeleCT who is up there. It's not about the units, it's about how you use them. Everyone is expecting some hardcounter to that. The counter is just to play and multitask better than SeleCT, not some miracle-unit. And Idra won't know shit, because Select is never gonna play 3 rax pressure vs Zerg every time... You guys seem to forget that he only faced Protoss players recently. Of course he's gonna play a similar unit composition against protoss. You really think he's gonna do the same unit composition against Idra 5 times in a row? | ||

Why couldn't they just do a BO7? but its a double elimination tournament. idra hasn't lost a series yet, but select has. why would you put them on even ground in the final when idra hasn't seen the loser bracket yet? | ||

He didnt get this far by luck and really deserves to be where he's at. 95% of the comments regarding SeleCTs games are not insulting the player (which, for an internet forum, is damn near miraculous). It's complaining about a strategy that, even if laid out for an opponent pre-game, is still ridiculous for a protoss to counter. Remember reapers against zerg? No one is saying its that bad, it's just ... one of the things I love about this game is the chess match. The psychology. If a player can say "I'm going A-B-C, regardless of what you do" it takes away one of the most important elements that makes the game so addictive and compelling. | ||

Can someone enlighten me as to why this wasn't a Bo3? This was in Losers Round 8. The reason I ask is because the MLG bracket isn't updated yet and it says Liquid`Tyler 2:1 SeleCT. Very confusing. Also, had the match been a Bo3, would Nony have advanced instead of SeleCT?  Tyler beat Select 2:1, sending him to the losers bracket. When they played again in the losers bracket, the format was BO7 with the previous 2:1 carrying over. | ||
