At a tournament like MLG/Dreamhack you just need to keep on winning game after game against a selection of very strong players, having little time to prepare between each game, clear your mind after each game and that all on a 3 day basis. Fatigue inevitably comes into play which doesn't help and there's the fact that qualifiers/groupstage is bo1 puts huge stress on your back (only in dreamhack). On another note,I can't see why people are against an all-in thor rush, TLO used it in GSL1 and he was a freaking hero at the time. There was an overload of bad cheesy play tho, but that's what bo1 does to you. | ||

well it's actually one of the commentators (the English accent one) and he's just talking about stereotyping SC2 players as socially awkward and not being able to start commentating like QL players | ||

Also all the top names going out early, guess I can't blame dreamhack for that though. | ||

But people who don't know what happened, please note that the coin flip was not the initial decider. The three of them played one more round of games each and they were 1-1-1 in that too. So, I guess they really had no other options but to leave it chance. As ridiculous as that decision was, I think in all fairness, the fact that they played one more set which was also drawn needs to be highlighted. That's so unfair and stupid. At least let them play rock, paper scissors for crying out loud. | ||

Jinro does the same thing and uses scans a lot. The reason: Destroy those observers. Because if you don't do that, then Protoss knows exactly when the unseige happens and can rape you ASAP. Another thing that needs to be mentioned how ridiculously meticulous Naama's pushing was. Every BW player knows the good old observer hunt  so "most ladder terrans" doubt it ! | ||

You've got +- 5 days to watch replays of your opponent, knowing him inside and out, looking for patterns etc. You know the maps beforehand, can skip the others in practice.

Meaning that the tournament can't work like tournaments running for A MONTH. I just don't understand the purpose of your post..'Tis all... | ||
