What you are supposed to do is use a strategy that gives you incredible results consistently while you are in the god damn 87k $ tournament and not try to cater to random people on TL that call you bad just because they don't like your style. | ||

I have a feeling that ITR would have choked again in the Finals. Here's hoping that NesTea gets through, so we can have a TvZ finals instead of a TvT. i really want the real boxer in, cause foxer v boxer will be epic, but foxer v kyrix i say was the best series of this tournament yet, and zergbong has been ripping it up pretty well, and with some clever builds.. it'll be curious to see whether boxer uses banshees still, because banshees just didnt seem that effective against foxer... either way they'll be epic epic games with lots of terrible terrible damage | ||

In korea they judge your age the day you were concieved + Show Spoiler + (egg + sperm) vajayjay To get back on topic: I think Ellenpage is playing like how SC2 should be transitioning into. Early expanding, while having great timing attacks, kind of like + Show Spoiler + broodwar Either way, great play Ellenpage, goodjob making it to the finals. | ||

I dunno, Foxer said he's pretty confident against Infestor play, most likely because zerg would just get overwhelmed in trying to get to infestors. I'm not a top level Zerg so I'm just repeating what I heard. IdrA sounded very confident infestors would counter it. I believe he said Kyrix was "retarded" for not going infestors. | ||

This. It's sad how people don't understand starcraft...I'm sad for people who can't appreciate the games foxer gives to us  | ||

It's always been like this. The same happened with Morrow in beta and after release. It didn't really matter if he played eco or not, just because he massed reapers he was apparently bad no matter what. | ||

I believe he said Kyrix was "retarded" for not going infestors. infestors come in a little late, and don't have that much energy. each infestor also costs as much gas as 6 banelings. by the time they come out, Foxer has so many reactor'd barracks with a steady stream of marines that 1 or 2 fungals won't really be that different from having 6 more banelings. | ||

But that doesnt mean that i wouldnt like to see something besides mass marine. A 45 min game with Foxer would be much better than a game that ends in 7mins with only marines. | ||
