EPTCouldn't Genius win by leaving a couple stalkers by the cannon, and then send the rest to kill Tester's buildings? Even if he wouldn't manage to kill the buildings, it would still be a tie because 2 DTs can't kill a cannon and 2 stalkers.

That was what i thought but in hindsight he didn't know how many DTs Tester had so backed himself to win the final game. | ||

IMO if he's good he's clearly the best protoss in the world and maybe the best player, pity he's inconsistent. I think he has the best chance to take this tourney though, I don't see him losing to anyone else on the other side of the bracket if he beats Foxer. | ||

Also, even in the second match, he was a step away from defeating Genius' colossi push. I root for protosses, but I cannot see Genius winning battle against top Ts and Zs. So I am rooting for Tester. Blind fan boy. User was warned for this post | ||

Also, if anyone wants to question Tester's micro, go watch the GSL ro16 Game 3 of Tester where he has insane zealot micro to fight off a perfectly conditioned proxy zealot rush. | ||

In fact, in BW, I am a Bisu fanboy. I want somebody to be mentioned in the same way as they mention Jaedong and Flash, or even historically, Nada, Boxer, oov, Savior, July. Freaking annoying that there is no one. I think Bisu has the potential, so I am a Bisu fan boy, although would root for any other protoss as well if they play other races. Similarly, if Genius played any other Z or T player, or even a P player, I would root for him, because I consider him the second best P. Come on PROTOSS! | ||

How is he supposed to know how many DTs Tester had. He couldn't leave the cannon. | ||

You do know that he just beat the winner of GSL2, right? As well as a bunch of other Top tier T Z and P players. | ||

Genius is a great player. IMO, still the second best to Tester. Genius fighting! I will root for Genius every time except vs Tester. Sorry for fanboism. | ||
