Heh. He's not throwing the games.. Hes just not very good and he knows he can't beat QXC playing standard.

They are teammates and have probably played a ton vs each other. He knows his relative skill comparatively.

Probably the worst tournament performance of all time. Wow that was terrible.

Qxc on fire though.

lol ok, maybe not throwing games but definitely not playing his normal style whatsoever, regardless of the fact its qxc, they probably assumed that slush could take 3rd place and qxc had the best chance and has been targetting a gaming laptop for longer lol.

that was definitely weird.

It's sad how unwatchable TvZ can be these days. It's just so easy and so many different ways for Terran to abuse Zerg in the early game. And that makes for boring matches.

Slush barely tried there, its so obvious.

I'm not referring to just that series. It's been something that's been going on for awhile now. GSL3 taught me this.

No, as a zerg myself, you really cannot use those games to cry Terran imbalance. It really does feel like those games were lost on purpose.

I know what you mean about those GSL games but really if done right you can counter everything terran can do.

Are there REALLY people who are talking about balance in relation to these games?

Really? What has balancing to do with one player playing excellent and the other one terrible?

I am so sad that QXC has made it this far. I am unsure why, but he has been my least favorite player since beta. I just cringe every time he wins.

I highly doubt that Slush intentionally threw the match.

What terrible games. Don't get me wrong, qxc's been playing great, but almost every game I've watched (been tuning into the ZvX ones) has been a cheese from 1 player or the other. I love occasional all-ins and rushes- they mix things up- but when they become the norm, it just feels tedious and cheap.
