there is nothing other than bm from whitera. how can you complain about 4gate in a pvp when its the best strategy? it may be cheesy, but cheese is part of the game. as a progamer, he should know that winning is the most important, he should really control his emotions.

80% of lliquibets on Tyler seems unreal, a lot of people said that TLO is overrated but Tyler... I don't know, he hasn't shown any consistant play in any big lan tournament he played.

GSL World Championship really showed that... oh wait... im sorry White-Ra got eliminated in Round 1, and Dimaga didnt make it far either. Oh wait. White-Ra just got 3-0'd by MC as well. Where is this kid, I want to see him eat his words.

A fairly anticlimactic day's worth of games lol. Not sure what's happend to Tyler, but he's in a pretty big slump. Did he see the mass thor before he started massing colossi, or did he just see two factories and assumed a lot of tanks with a few thor would be made?
Also, whitera said, "gg 4gt push is besty" --> That isn't BM at all. He's just saying that 4 gate is the best build in pvp, and at the moment, he's right. It's certainly a lot better than 2 gate expo anyway.


Stop defending him and just accept reality. It was BM but who cares if it is BM anyways, makes things more interesting. He already showed his frustration against Sans, and now you guys all come here AGAIN trying to defend White-Ra saying it isn't BM. Incredible.


+1. White-Ra himself admitted that he was bitter and being BM to San and people are still saying that he wasn't being BM lol.

Also I just don't get where he is coming from with the whining about 4-gates. Has he never played PvP before? What does he expect? 4-gate is the standard and if you're going to do easily scouted builds that just die to a well executed 4-gate on the given map and then act surprised and angry that you got 4-gated... it just doesn't add up.

Furthermore, acting like 4-gate vs 4-gate doesn't require a lot of skill is ridiculous.


PvP is just a matchup that isn't very fun to play in my opinion, and I suspect a lot of other protoss feel the same way, probably including Ra. Yeah, if you're a pro you need to suck it up and deal with it, but none the less, I can relate.

well at least, you shouldn't fail 4 gate against MC's non 4 gate builds, and then say anything sarcastic when MC's 4 gate works. if WR never went 4 gate, then maybe he has a point. but wtf?

that's like idra complaining about a macro game, MKP complaining about drops, or MVP whining that the patch made BCs OP

In my eyes he may not be as solid as MC, but on a good day whitera is better. Solid tends to win, and I guess we just have to accept that Whitera has established family and dont have as much time devoted to sc2 as MC.

tl.net is turning into a haterfest on anyone that isn't super duper manner 100% all the time. white-ra has one of the longest track records in e-sports for being super manner and a nice guy to everyone online and at LAN events so even if he did BM 1 or 2 times out of frustration with builds that aren't super skill intensive it still should be received as just that and not an uproar with everyone saying omg WR = BM!!! Sure he may have had a lapse but I'm sure if anyone went up to him at a LAN he would be one of the nicest guys there even with his terrible english. This "BM" in no way makes him a bad person in general or for e-sports overall so I think the whining should just end. It is also no surprise that almost all the people complaining are posters who joined in 2010 or later and none of the actual strong gamers that know white-ra and his history in broodwar.

Overall looking forward to Thorzain vs MC. Should be a fun one either way.





I dont know the reason why so many people react so much when a people is not acting his 100% supermanner role. They should also realize, that judging others, also, without doubt, judges something in you. So I think they rage a lot in their 1v1 play, then judge others and them self cause they feel guilty for it.

This tells me, that there is a looot of ragequit in SC2.

It seems like MC basically has a much higher level of understanding of PvP than anyone else out there. The one game he lost in the GSTL just caught him off guard as he had never seen that warp prism build before, but now that he knows how to defend it again, I can't see anyone on the planet taking him down in a Bo3 or Bo5 PvP.

Also, quite disappointed in Tyler, was hoping he'd give a better showing after all the hype.

MC vs Sen finals, calling it right now.


MC would have to go through Thorzain.. considering he lost 2-0 to Cloud, Thorzain taking the series is not unexpected.

Well you right he didn't do a lot in sc2, but you can't throw away what he did in bw just by "it was another game and another time".

Like i said if he has a heart of a champion, he will come back and prove us we were wrong.

man i finally got around to watching the tyler games and what a disappointment... Tyler is slumping hard and it's not because he's losing everyone loses but he seems to make so many mistakes and tylers signature build timings are just non existent. This makes me sad

Having said that I'm starting to love watching ThorZane play! He always has a different build and executes them perfectly! I usually hate watching terran play but he's really winning me over as a fan.

I wonder if Tyler's performance might improve if he changed his practice regimen. Is he still not practicing much, and mostly just developing builds on his own against the AI? I understand this is something that's done him well for a long time and really works with him mentally but I think just sitting down and massgaming with partners like other pros do is at least worth a shot.

Just got around to watching the vods. Pretty disappointing games overall really. I don't feel like either of the losers really played to their potential.

Oh well, back to the homemade chutney, venison salami and smoked chicken subs.

Jinro and Huk were never among the best foreign Brood War players actually. Just points out the fact that it's how you adapt to how SC2 currently plays out, not your background, that matters.

Also, mechanical superiority of BW hardly counts for anything in SC2.

Just look at vast majority of pro level games in SC2 that aren't PvP - no real aggression, zero multitasking, really basic micro (none worth even talking about), super passive strategies that make zero sense from a fundamental RTS point of view, armies sitting in base or walking about doing absolutely nothing most of the game leading into blob vs blob battles. What are you going to spend 300 effective APM on, burning calories? =/

Ah well, Mondi is still in this at least. Let's hope he didn't get corrupted by this game as badly as the rest. =P
