Is this because of a team World bias (I mean, it IS teamliquid.net) or because the games are exciting from the underdog status of westerners? | ||

It's also due to the fact that foreigners tend not to be so standard in their gameplay. So them winning means the risk worked, and people like seeing risky plays work. | ||

Also perhaps a lot of the viewers usually only watch GOM thinking it is the best players so new/different styles from the people currently watching gom (?) | ||

Yeah, I am a somewhat IdrA fan. But stating that zerg is unplayable is a joke. When I play custom and I see that my opponent is gold or lower I always switch races. A couple days ago there was a bronze zerg complaining about imbalance. He told me that Terran was OP and when I told him that on his level the game was perfectly balanced, he referred to IdrA... Zerg vs Terran is in a good state now. We see Dimaga his style, We have July his style. Both work. Zerg vs Protoss was never a real problem. Except on bad maps like Jungle Basin. Even in the finals I had this feeling that July made wrong decision. IdrA vs Cruncher same thing. Idra went for 6 more drones when Cruncher started moving out, and then he wanted to stepmicro some roaches but got trapped by some impressive forcefields. Those together were 11 roaches he trew away before the fight started. Zerg might be a bit weaker. I don't know. Playing zerg doesn't forgive making mistakes. But it can be cruel to play against as well. (Morrow vs Jinro) | ||

I was laughing the whole time and fist pumping when it actually worked. Cheese like that makes the game awesome at times. It's only when you see it over and over again that it gets boring. A lot of times people call things cheese, even after it becomes sort of normal. Has a Zerg ever pulled all of his drones before in the GSL? After that game, Dimaga won a straight up macro game versus a guy that seemed invincible in ZvZ. What an awesome series. It's one I'll remember for a long time. edit: How happy Dimaga was afterwards just made it so much better. I love this guy so much more now! Idra sixpooled Jinro in GSL Jan(?) and brought all his drones. July sixpooled in the semis in the GSL march, but don't remember if he brought his drones. | ||

I honestly thought Dimaga wouldn't be able to win in a bo3 against Nestea, and his insane ZvZ win ratio makes the series even more exciting. | ||

Now we can compare. Games huk - mvp was worst in gsl history. Dimaga and July games were very good. Whitera lost 2x in 4gate vs 2 gate so boring and bad. | ||

Ah yeah, I forgot about that Idra match. Probably because he lost. This one just seemed so much cooler because of the Spine and that it was ZvZ vs a guy that never seemed challenged in that match up. Thanks for the correction though.  | ||

(Morrow vs Jinro) As a master league toss player, I feel that PvZ has been toss favored lately (I think part of the reason is the prevalence of defensive roach/hydra play, which just isnt that strong) but I cant believe the hate and arrogance I get from zergs, its literally impossible for them to imagine that MAYBE its possible that they can be outplayed and MAYBE its possible that they make mistakes. | ||
