so glad foxer lost. I really don't get all the hype around this kid. IMHO his play isn't even great and really gives credit to the argument made by sc1 elitists that sc2 is just hyper aggro donk silly and easy.

It would of been terrible for sc2 if a kid with nothing past the 10 minute mark going for him (except for in games where he already did mega damage with his early cheese) won it all. At least for people with insight into what the game COULD be rather than this all-in 1 base garbage.

I mean look at this series..it went 7 rounds and we didnt see one late -dynamic -huge decision making- apm game . You know the type of games that makes people see SC as a game of insane skill and draws in spectators to it as an e-sport. The type of games that monsters like Nada bust out and just make your jaw drop.

Good Riddance to bad rubbish.

Yeah. Match 7 made my jaw drop.

He let his whole army be surrounded by drones, when they are the same speed, when he had mules mining for reinforcement marines.

I was scared for Tea for a minute, but when he got that surround I was facepalming FoxeR..

I agree, marine 1Aing their way to victory is simply not what I, as a spectator, wants to see.

Translator John owns:

"First of all I'd like to say I have a great respect for NesTea not just because he won the tournament but because this guy had the courage to do what he wanted to do and proved he was right.I'm saying this because too many people even in Korea consider playing games is a waste of time.I, myself, was unemployed for 2 years *laughs*, bout a year and a half before I joined GOM.All I did was play games at home and my friends would say that I'm wasting my life.Well...uhm..who's laughing now ?. I asked them " Can you honestly say that you like your job " and I asked them " Do you have a fan who draws a fanart just for you ? ". That shuts them up.

So everytime you feel ashamed of being a nerd and your friends, teachers, neighbours and even parents think gaming is a waste of time you'll remember there's no such thing as wasting life as long as you have the courage to do what you like and be passionate about it.You'll remember , if NesTea listened to all those critics he wouldn't be standing there with a trophy and you'll remember that even if you feel nobody around you supports you that I, Jay, Artosis and Tasteless, everyone in GOM will support you.Why ? Because we believe in esports."

Encouraging nerds to pursue their dream in progaming is like encouraging black kids to play basketball, ultimately not the way to go. It's nice to see people like bongboy here do it, but be realistic.
