Its time to enjoy the matches, keep the whining out of this thread. GL HF! Also, don't reply to the whining and ignore it: have faith in the mods, we read every post and act swiftly. You're making it worse. Enjoy! |

Can't hate him for trying his best to win. Can hate him for winning while also being terrible.

I could be wrong here, can't instantly rewatch that match, but did Mondragon really react THAT slowly? It could have been faster, but it seemed to me like he pulled even too many drones and it obviously still wasn't enough :s I'm honestly not sure how he could have handled that BUT I fucking suck so this is an actual question and not balance QQ

Don't hate on Cruncher.
Hate on Blizzard for designing a game where the inferior player wins, all the time. And yes, I play Protoss, and Cruncher is painfully mediocre. Not even bad, just your average Masters' level Protoss. That he's even in this tournament is a testament to the awesomeness of SC2.

I would LOVE to see Mondy win 3-2, and on the last game just type: :D

go cruncher!! haters gonna hate ~~

Nobody says its unfair.It's standard protoss play.

I don't really care about the outcome of this match-up, but if the last zerg gets cheesed out of the tournament, watching the forums burn will be most entertaining.

This is the last zerg in TSL3. Although I must say it was pure player skill so I'm not surprised all the zergs lost. Great play by Cruncher knocking off some of the better zergs. I'm so excited to watch this game 4, can expect nothing but great play by the protoss god Cruncher.

So there is no evidence that those are casted replays, until you can show me real evidence like sitation of interview where TSL staff says those are casted from replays. They have always been casted from replays, this is common knowledge... "common knowloedge" doesnt stand for fact, it might aswell be a common myth. I am still waiting for evidence.
They said it on numerous times. That is why they are so paranoid about spoilers. They cast live from replays.

Cannon-rushing isn't a bad idea. It is really powerful, wins games, and you can transition out of it. It just needs to be scouted to be avoided.

4 gate incoming, you'll see
i think cruncher knows he can't beat mondragon in a straight up game where the odds aren't in his favor

yeah so many protoss in this...no way i will watch pvp xD

That's a ridiculous comment. Forge -> Cannon has been there since the days of SC 1, which means it's there for the past 12 years and counting.
For something that withstood the test of time, it's your fault for not able to scout and counter it correctly.
