His raw skill basically carried him through GSL s1, 2 roach warrens at a time. I don't think anyone could freestyle in game as much as he does and have the talent to get away with it.
And some of his setups were the most detailed and extensive setups we have yet to see in sc2.
This. What people don't seem to be getting is that Fruit won when zerg was UP without a doubt and tats why Grack and all the oter Zergs including Nestea consider him the most powerful! But personally I feel Nestea might just be the best zerg atm.

They were more stringent with the registration process this time as well, compared to the 2000+ registrants of GSL2. And even then there were byes.

So how many time have you guys refreshed tonight?

Ret is probably playing a macro game right now... so that's a good sign.
He hasn't started yet. Huk/idra apparently just finished easy wins.

How can you guys possibly want FD to lose? T-T IMO he's overrated (he's good, but not as good as people make him out to be), but anyone able to give him a good fight would be interesting to see play. Overrated? He won the largest tournament ever when Zergs were dropping faster than raindrops. What he did was astonishing and no one ever predicted him to succeed in such a way. No they didn't, but they do now, and now people say he is the best zerg in the world. Yet he almost lost qualifiers. He's prob top10 zerg in the world, but players like nestea (and even zenio) are imo better. Zenio being better than Fruitdealer? Really? I didn't see any play from Zenio that compared to what Fruitdealer managed to do in the first season. Nestea is definitely a great player with great decision making, but I'd still give the nod to Fruitdealer (only slightly at best) since he won the GSL when zerg was actually underpowered and needed help, he was the underdog by a long shot in every ZvT he played. Nestea had a week to prepare for Boxer and he still lost the first two matches to the hyper-aggressive play style of Boxer, while Fruit was the first well known player to see how good Boxer and his style of play were and consequently lost 2-0. Managing to holdout as long as he did in game 2 was amazing, especially with losing his baneling nest on the first push and having to re-drone from being almost down 2:1 in drone count.
Summed it up perfectly. NesTea dropped the first two games to BoxeR knowing EXACTLY what was coming, if it was a Bo7, I'm sure FD would've adjusted accordingly like NesTea. FD was amazing when Zerg sucked, and unfortunately ran into FoxeR early on. Put FD on NesTea's side of the bracket, NesTea would've lost to FoxeR 2-0 and we wouldn't even be talking about how FD is no longer a "great" Zerg.

Justin.tv has an android app which lets you cast from your phone. Would eat up batteries really quickly, but it would be cool for little 30 minute segments.
Artosis said yesterday uploading his interviews to youtube was using too much bandwidth from his phone, I doubt he's able to livecast.

His cookbook is polished, it's just his play style is very risky.

Yeah, it does seem odd since there are tons of byes in the 1024 player bracket they are playing in, when there were supposed to be far more than 1024 people. That means like almost half the people no-showed.

FD is a beast. Say what you want about FD, I still think he's the #1 Zerg in the world.
The guy has outstanding defense and knows how to switch it up on the fly when faced with different scenarios. Not to mention, peeps should go back and watch Game 2 with Foxer to see how long FD held that before he went down. Had the series been a Best of 7, I think FD would've adapted and eventually won.
Don't forget, NesTea went down 0-2 to Foxer and had a week to prepare.

people seem to forget who fruit dealer is. Hes cool from beta and was one of best\creative zergs out there. Winning the first gsl was no surprise. Foxer caught him off guard in 2nd gsl im sure he'll come back stronger than ever.
Anyways go ret!

No, it's the exact opposite. If you had a 5 man tournament, how many byes would there be in the Ro8? Three. Similarly, a 10 man tournament would have six byes in the Ro16. Round - total players = byes. If 1500 people show up, there will be 548 byes, or over 1/3rd the total players.
