If you're talking tournament play, then you have a legitimate point to some extent. I think the hype is legitimate based on his domination of the Korean and EU ladder though. Ladder play means nothing to be honest. | ||

Only way to beat Protoss in my opinion in late game fights is a full mech army. BRAT_OK failed so hard against Naniwa and a lot of other Protoss atm, he's not doing that well. DemusliM is really good in TvP with multitasking and pressure but it takes way more effort to play like that, than it should. JinrO I can't judge. No White-rA either ;-)! Go watch January Code S, Ro16, Jinro vs MC for how to "judge" his TvP. I'd say it's pretty close to some of the best in the world. | ||

Lol .. you are just as parochial in who you support as some americans. At least try to talk without bias! It isn't like we're hyping InControl here. | ||

I don't judge by 2 games. The games before he lost 0-4 right? So I'll just leave him as a really good TvP player, but still I don't want to judge it :-) too small sample size of games. | ||

I'm watching GLHF on TheBeard.tv since that's on own3d. I believe the other GLHF streams are on justin, which is unwatchable for me. | ||

I beat Kas on ladder, Bly, HasuObs, DieStar, Naugrim, Fenix, moonan..... but I never won against them in a tourney. Its a complete different story. And I'm not supporting any of the players. | ||

He beat ChoyaFou before the 0-4 in GSL3, and he may have faced another Protoss besides MC in GSL4 (January) but I can't recall off the top of my head. | ||

I still don't get the joke, so yeah. Maybe I don't understand something but there is no "Fuhrer" in a german dictionary. Well at least not from what google tells me right now. And if you mean "Führer" / "Fuehrer" in terms of leader. Yes, obviously that's the meaning of the goddamn word so what? I don't get the joke. Barely anyone in Germany refers to "fuhrer" as "leader". Especially someone internationally doesn't. So yes, I still don't think it's funny to call oneself Fuhrer / Führer / Fuehrer, whatever. I know a lot of 12 years old that got that kind of humor though, so don't worry, you're not alone. | ||

Hes a pretty overrated player tbh I think Rets pretty underrated. People rate him on such a small amount of games that you can't possibly know what skill he really is on. People slag him a lot anyway. Coincidently he would be overrated had he won his little samplesize of games. Because that how it works for a lot of people, speaking in absolutes based on way too little information. (I'm not saying that you are one of those dark fuhrer, because I wouldn't know) Other than that, of course Naniwa has a fair chance against Ret. Naniwa is a top player, argueably one of the top 3 in the tournament. | ||

GoGo is German as am I and for us Germans Führer jokes just are not funny at all. Back to topic, the only mistake Ret really makes repetetly is playing to greedy and gets hit pretty hard by allins/ extreme agression. The UP argument he makes is just that he feels he has to play this greedily to be able to win vs T.To summarize, post sucked as much as your name is offensive to us germans  | ||

That's the weird thing, I can watch glhf's stream on Justin on best resolution but Total biscuit's is pretty much unmatchable on lowest. I just don't get how this works really. -_- | ||

Its a complete different story. And I'm not supporting any of the players. Your argument that ladder means nothing doesn't make sense. At the top level, you are facing top 200 people and you can only be in the top 10 if you are beating the top players consistently... not just taking random games off them. I'm not saying ladder means anything, but it is legitimate to hype based on ladder and MLG performance. | ||
