I haven't watched the games yet myself, but it seems from reading the live report that this round was full of mostly short games. Guess there just wasn't as much to talk about. | ||

The term i is given to the imaginary value sqrt(-1) because in certain situations allowing for it permits you to come to results you couldn't otherwise. To the person who was trying to act all superior and challenge the other dude on the math. I challenge you to explain to me why it is wrong to use sqrt(-5) instead of sqrt(5)i. Challenge accepted! Lets assume that i = sqrt(-1) as you have said: i^2 = sqrt(-1)*sqrt(-1) = sqrt((-1)*(-1)) = sqrt(1) = 1 ( 1 does not equal -1 ) so thats why you use i rather than saying i = sqrt(-1) and therefore sqrt(-5) is incorrect. | ||

Thus, sqrt(-5) is fine. However, this does illustrate why i*sqrt(5) may be preferable - since it can cause confusion otherwise. | ||

Math if full of technicalities, and little rules and such. | ||

I'd advise that people should wake up an hour earlier before the original schedule for Code S games. The Code A series tend not to end in less than an hour or exceed 2 hours of games. | ||

It's part of the game, get used to it. It's NOT EVEN CHEESE. It's just like stealing your opponent's gas. >_> It's the zerg's fault for not putting a drone on the ramp. Boxer tried to do some proxy barracks all-in... perfectly viable as well. Cheese is part of the game, and if the other player fails to scout, he deserves to lose. If users are so PISSED about cheese, then why don't you send 2-3 scouts? -_- Greedy. Did you even see the play he did against Zenio? The micro and defense was amazing. Most players would of lost right there. | ||

Are you serious? He doesn't qualify for two straight GSL despite being the " second best" protoss in the world, that's why people doubt him. They have good reason to. | ||
