Completely dominant performance from Kas, I think those of us who watch him play a lot knew he would beat NaDa, he's a great terran. Yes im absolutely clueless my dude, you've seen the depth of my soul. NaDa played like trash. Kas did not impress me. Problem? | ||

People are trying to downplay it saying Nada played badly (which I'll admit, he didn't play his best), but I'd say that was more a factor of the pressure Kas was putting on. Give credit where credit is due. No, that was just Nada playing really badly. This is someone who can macro pretty much perfectly in BW, which is much harder than SC2, while microing his vultures to kill every drone on the map, and we saw him getting repeatedly supply blocked and not building SCVs, even at times when there was no pressure at all. I really don't think his macro failures were because of Kas being a genius aggressor. Kas outplayed Nada, yes, but that's because Nada played terribly. I'm not saying Kas isn't a good player, mind you, and I'd love to see him play against someone who isn't completely off his game, but you can't just look at him winning in these games and say he played incredibly well - anyone can look unstoppable when their opponent is bad. | ||

Agreed. The fact is that in this series (Kas vs. Nada), Kas got completely outclassed by Nada because Nada was playing like lower class so that means that Nada was stronger in lower classness than Kas, so Kas, in class level, is higher than Nada, although I'm not ready to put Kas as one of the elite players of the world who have a membership in high class.

Sup. This is probably the worst post in the thread -_- Kas played very well. He made a couple bad tactical decisions but his gameplay was, on the whole, very very good. Best European Terran - even better than Jinro, imo. | ||

Imho after the RO32 Kas should have raised tons of eyebrows... Yes, he just won 2-1, but when i think back at the series against Haypro: Game 1: I don't remember this one. Game 2: He made 1 pretty fatal error but before that it seemed pretty much like he had this game in the bag. I really thought he was at a point that he could just A + Go all over Haypro... Game 3: He won very convinsignly? It was no total walkover but Kas was never in any danger iirc? As for Go4Sc2.. Which is probably "the" regular tournament to watch. It starts on sunday afternoon in europe, so early morning in the US and ends when it ends... Sometimes it's finnished at 8 o'clock (yesterday).. Sometimes it runs WAY longer depending on the amount of players that signed up and the delays. The quality of the games also varies a LOT depending on the sign ups. Just check the featured streams on Sunday morning (when your from the US). The best thing about this tourney is actually to watch out for players that might get really big... Recently Happy had some nice showings, Cloud is doing better and seems really good at the moment, Beastyqt is a stable name for the later rounds... There is just a ton of talent in these Cups. I would recommend following them just to not be caught by surprise when someone "rather" unknown is doing good at Dreamhack or another "big" Event like Mana, Nama, DieStar, Bischu (which got famously coinflipped out) and tons others :p. It is the tournament where Goody has it's nickname(s) from... It's just a really fun event and the commentary is usually also good (Rotterdam/ESL.tv). | ||

There must be a reason why Kas is top of the World ranking region, not just because he is lucky or something else. Kas execution, harassment and positioning was just perfect in every single map they played. What we saw from Nada today was probably his poor form. Nada has a top class TvT and clearly not showing it against Kas at all. Not sure what happen, but like somebody say he probably never train or play as hard after the last GSL ended. Nevertheless, EmpireKas deserved to win and up top matching Koreans or be in the same standard of GSL code S | ||

Nevertheless, EmpireKas deserved to win and up top matching Koreans or be in the same standard of GSL code S Nada supply-blocked himself in every single game and reacted as slow as any silver league player out there would, but go on, keep naively making your assumptions while I smirk at the fact that the only match won by a top korean against a top foreigner happened when both played from the same country (MC 3-0) User was temp banned for this post. | ||

Wait & See ! Unbeatable offline? No offence but he didn't do so well at the only lan i saw him attend (IEM europe, he won his group but then choked iirc) while Adel has every french lan he attended bar two (that were won by lalush and ToD) with a top3 at assembly and top8 at dreamhack (losing 2-1 to ogsTOP) | ||
