He did almost beat LosirA, and he won the recent FXOpen. I'd probably have SuperNova as a strong contendor for the last spot as well. | ||

The REAL championship will unveil itself tomorrow! WhiteRa and Dimaga better not get relaxed as stakes considerably rise and Koreans still have most of their aces under sleeves. | ||

Ryung won most of the engagements irregardless of his bigger army (just better positioning and timings). From my perspective, Ryung outplayed Mvp even with a bigger army from Mvp cutting production. The BC's took it over the top, but I don't think Mvp would have won that game even if he wanted to go toe to toe with Ryung tank battles. Just pure speculation of course, but what Mvp showed against MMA I think points to a few weaknesses (mainly strategical). Either way, all three are about equal in skill I think. | ||

Do you think that the other foreigners were at an advantage because their play style was somewhat unknown to the Koreans ? That could definitely factor into what we saw today. I'm pretty sure MVP was pretty surprised by Dimaga's heavy infestor play, and MC surprised by WhiteRa's warp prism play. On the other hand, July seemed to know Huk and Jinro's playstyles pretty well, and exploited that knowledge beautifully. | ||

He's just one angry zerg that dislikes every style but his own BW and this game are two different beasts. In BW, July's mechanics provided the edge that he needed to overpower opponents with aggression (for crappier mechanics in July's predecessor, Yellow, we see the difference - same style, different results in an easier era). In this game, you can't overpower people with superior mechanics, and when strategy is all that's left, no it's not sustainable. I love July, don't get me wrong. I was arguing with some other dude who thought July plays like garbage the other day, and got temp banned for calling him a troll, and now, I'm doing the opposite. :D Tyler, Incontrol, and a few Koreans I've read on playxp have criticized him as well. It's not just Mr. Fields.  | ||

My personal top 8 Korean team: MC Alicia Losira July NesTea MVP (Ryung / MMA / MarineKing / Bomber), any two No MKP for sure. With larger maps and the new patch his signature style is officially outdated. In the current mappool and metagame he's definitely a step below the other elite terrans. I'd leave out Ryung also simply because he's relatively more untested in non TvT's compared to the other 2. | ||

Or people have figured it out but still lose to it. | ||
