All of the players in this tourney already got S-class, so GSL season 3 doesn't mean the world to them, though obviously everyone wants to do well. I think the players would have used whatever strategies they thought could beat their opponents. | ||

Do you really think anybody is going to be using their best strategies in the first couple rounds anyway though? They might want to save something but a tournament is a tournament. I liked that this one happened so quickly because it meant that nobody was spending a week with their teammates coming up with builds for a specific opponent. But yeah, the prize pool of GSL3 is a lot larger so I'm sure at least some of the players are taking it much more seriously. | ||

Throughout the tournament you can tell the other players were all scared of Foxer's proxies/all-ins while Foxer was never afraid of them, he had the initiative. The same thing with Kyrix, he plays fearlessly and makes other people fear him. In game 2 vs TheWind, both players went for the exact same build, pool then banelings, but TheWind had to throw down a spine crawler. Why? Fear. Kyrix is the bomb. | ||

Since he, unlike apparently many here, knows that even if he somehow was the favorite to win GSL 3, which he most certainly is not, he wouldn't be a big enough favorite to make up for the $5k he lost here. He just isn't nearly as good as some of you thought. Biased much? He's the only guy to have made two finals in a row. NesTea and Rainbow lost in the first round of this tournament. Foxer got another decisive victory over FruitDealer in the second round. He's shown that he's a strong player. As I've said a number of times at this point, I think it's just a matter of him playing below his skill level in the very last games of both tournaments. I would attribute that to nerves before anything else, I guess. | ||

Does he fall off the face of the Earth? | ||
