Unless he has some sort of weird nerves problem he should destroy code A. Anyway, I love the fact this showmatch got put together, thanks to the organizers. It's a wonderful time to be a SC2 fan. He won me over a bit during it, but I didn't think he is THAT good 0_o. I was very, very wrong. Also all the VOD's are updated in the OP. Don't forget that the giveaway contest is open until Monday! Details in OP. | ||

He also lost a TvT to mvp where he had over 40 supply of advantage at one point (And it wasn't 200 to 160, was like 110ish to 65ish), on GSTL feb's finals. His TvT is really not that special, granted mvp is a beast in TvT but he shouldn't have taken that game in the GSTL vs a competent Terran, after the mistakes he made in the first engagements. | ||

Tasteless is like "but he lost ALL of his mutas" then Artosis just interrupts and says "but it's okay it's Sen, he doesn't need mutas". lol wut seriously? is this the professional, accurate casting we've come to know from Artosis? what a joke. | ||

If you know anything about White-Ra and think what he said at the end of game 3 vs san was intended as bad manner, then you are actually retarded. Please don't say garbage when you don't know what you're talking about. | ||

The same rule applies to MLG. But it looks like it's not being enforced either place. | ||

Different from bm like dancing units/mule dropping/ceremonies because this is the losing player bm'ing the winner. I can only laugh at this child-like obsession with BM. A lot of people find every frustration generated comment as BM. And even if I considered it BM why should we care in this case. Should I also bash MC for his BM (as basically everything he does "in persona" is BM in your definition) when he gives a thumb down before games or points to Korean flag after defeating Morrow. The former is actually more insulting than venting a frustration over 4-gate preventing longer, more entertaining games. And he does that in televised matches. Also why should be winning player able to BM and losing player not, and why should it matter where the BM was done ? There is behaviour that I dislike and might call BM, like MC's(and others') thumb down, some of Idra's comments belittling his opponents before the match(i do not care mostly what he says after losing, people get frustrated after loss). Yet I am still their fan(not my favourite players but nonetheless I am a fan), because why should small inconsequential things like that change the fact. And you calling White-ra's behaviour disgusting show that you don't know what disgusting behaviour actually is. And just to note, he is not best foreigner, there is none that can be granted that title at this time. But if some consider him that it is definitely not because of the game vs MC, but because of the multiple great performances in recent months. | ||

Please don't say garbage when you don't know what you're talking about. your retarded. white ra said san is good at 4gating. He just said in this interview 4gating is such an ez build to pull off, so obviously saying someone is good at something that is really ez is bm. just like how idra said "building carriers is a useful skill toi have". http://www.justin.tv/kellymilkies/b/282628325 --> interview. | ||

Turns out you should maybe venture outside of gsl and also turns out you have no idea what immature means  As for the roaches I think you(and Tasteless) are probably right, as for the mutas he did not say what you paraphrased as he actually offered implied explanation of why Sen is sacrificing his mutas. I am not sure if that sacrifice was good or not, but I also saw the point in their sacrifice. As for your assessment on Artosis' commentary, try searching here on TL for "neutral commentary" by Chill, also check Day9's commentary in SoTG why he is "biased/cheering" for foreigners. I don't know how many people agree with you on how they perceive Artosis' cast of those games, but definitely not all, I actually love how he was so excited as I was in the same state of mind so he made it so much more enjoyable. | ||

I don't see it as BM, maybe because I also don't see not typing gg as BM. There might be something wrong with me. But it doesn't matter, because this topic is about Bomber vs White_Ra and not about what bm is. I want to see some well-written thoughts about these games. Please. | ||

As for micro, White-ra can have great micro and sometimes he does things noone else does (see his warp prism micro in other series) he also slips too often and even at his best he was just barely a match for Bomber. White-ra also too often engaged in wrong spots and this definitely cost him some games. In the epic game 4 of the 4-0 series he twice engaged in quite easily preventable spots. I think if he had been in Korea longer and had adapted to Korean timings, his biggest strength might have gotten the score more even. I mean his decision-making and crisis-management which I consider one of the best in the world, but that was not seen in most games here because he just got killed. All in all, Bomber was one level above. No White-ra was not destroyed but he definitely got outplayed. If you are a terran these are great games to learn from. Game 4 of the 4-0 series was definitely fun, and I think White-ra was definitely pleased with that game in the sense that he said he wanted to show good games and this one was great.

Given White-Ras comments in an interview after it's quite clear that the comment was intended as sarcastic. If you consider it BM or not I don't care but in a televised world championship match, probably not the smartest thing to do, honestly. | ||

There are plenty of sports where participants BM each other a little. It's normal, it's part of the game, get over it and stop being so hypersensitiv. FFS in Moto-GP Lorenzo puts down a fucking flag on the course when he wins and no one goes all "OH, what an insult", "He should not do that, these people fought for their freedom/country."... When a Tennis player states about another that he's incredibly good on Sand he is also saying: "he is better when the game is slower"... or when he states: "If i can take his Service i should be able to win" he's also just saying: "His normal play is worse than mine but hes good at hitting a "standing" Ball". Not even going into Boxing/MMA and that stuff... Do you see people go batshit insane about stuff like this? No, you don't. Do you know why? Because it's normal in basically ANY 1on1 competition. | ||
