I'm not. I wrote 'in general'. I guess the thing I dislike the most is going back to racepicking after realizing after a short period that zerg isn't actually as good as they seemed, but he's just doing whatever it takes to win I guess. I don't have to like it though. | ||

He seems to have more raw potential/talent than pretty much any other Liquid member in Korea. But I am not sure if he can be a player in a global scale being in Europe and switching around like that. | ||

I think the games that were casted today were far more interesting than the cheesefest we see in GSL and in the Korean ladder (reference Huk's stream) | ||

Thanks, for some reason the site bugged out for me. Still quite a lot of games left in the LB then. | ||

I still quite like watching him play Zerg and Protoss, as much as I like anyone play Zerg and Protoss, really, but as I'm a Terran I'm allowed to be a bit biased. I agree, it seems to me that terran has the biggest bag of tricks, which suits TLOs style. | ||

Don't hate the players, hate the game. They're just pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the realm of cheese, all-ins, early pressure and timing attacks when you have the higher skill required to back it up given the current map pool and balance. Until players learn to defend stuff like that more reliably, or something changes balance-wise, that's what SC2 is. | ||

This is probably more entertaining, but this also shows how lower the level of other players are compared to Koreans, IMO. Wasn't Ret saying "Europeans cannot take advantage of Zerg's early weakness"? Non-Korean players are extremely weak in terms of cheesing and defending a cheese. They are also fairly weaker when it comes to timing pushes. We see all sorts of weird timing pushes in GSL. So as a fan, I like longer games, but this is, IMO, one of the biggest reasons why we saw 4 Liquid-oGs players saw in top 4 the other day. Ret wouldn't have survived until top 4 in a Korean event due to cheese/timing pushes. | ||
