He beat Maka and Ensnare. Their TvP is not at a top level.

So Maka prime isn't a top korean player? Also for the guy above me lol bye bye 
Maka is a top Korean terran, but he was really ill going into that weeks GSL and Blizzon, which I doubt the flight helped much.

Finals zp -> P

I disagree with censoring his name on various pages, even if it's done jokingly some of the users here are very gullible and the tone towards the person who took out said fan favourite gets unnecessarily rough.
Same happened when MorroW beat IdrA in IEM. The shit morrow got and still gets from hurt IdrA fans is ridiculous and a damned shame.
I feel like promoting the behaviour of "hating" on people for beating a fan favoutite is wrong. Morrow played a completely abusive game on a unit that was imba so it was patched later. If morrow beat idra in a standard macro game, or even changed his build once during the series, i don't think he would have been flamed so much. Why would you not play the strongest build you possibly could to win the tournament? It's not like you're gonna play a weaker build just to "use other builds" but having a lesser chance of winning. That's a retarded statement saying that he didn't change his build once, why change a winning concept when you're playing for that kind of price money, don't think ANYONE would, and no, not even IdrA would, sorry to bust your bubble.
True, but the problem is that his strategy is only viable if you have never faced it before and haven't had a chance to practice against it. In chess, sometimes a lower player (1300) can be a master (2000) by using an opening that they know so well that is so uncommon that his opponent has not witnessed it before and will win. This is called getting a cheap win and will not help increase your ratings for long. There are people who bet their careers on this type of play, but never get past the 1800-1900 level), but can occasionally take games off of grandmasters (for their abusive play). Obviously people should be ready, but because of the newness of the game, it is hard to be ready for everything.

Now Cella is out too? T-T
