Possible. It's also possible he just has a weak matchup or had a bad day.

Game 1: 2 base all in where you literally rally bio and do some splits. Game 2: 2 rax scv all in. Game 3: 2 rax fake into FE. Losira decides to all in, but as a zerg on CROSSFIRE this is quite common because of how imbalanced that map is for zvt. In conclusion I don't see how this proves anything, especially the bold remarks tasteless made. If these games are the criteria for being "One of the best Terrans in Korea" or "Amazing TvZ player" then that speaks to a sadness of the state of this game. User was temp banned for this post. | ||

But you seem to have forgotten that sC went all-in during the 2nd game. Basically, Losira's nerves were shot due to the pressure sC put on him during the first 2 games. | ||

He's just responding to the statement that game 3 was "standard macro game", not that sc is an inherently worse player. Always hate having to read LR threads after any zerg loses unless it was basically Ro32 Code A. Aparantly beyond that Zerg lost because the other player wasn't better than them??? It's a harsh world of tournaments people. If you lose, you are instantly worse than that player because you were unable to pass them. No point going around with hypotheticals when anyone backing the winning player can just basically point to the games lost as hard 100% irrefutable evidence. I'll probably close the LR thread on Thursday when Nestea plays just because it actually begins to tick me of considerably how blinded people are when a favourite loses (somehow worse if it's Zerg). | ||

But after seeing how 2 rax pressure went really well in game 2 I cant really blame him. Whenever I see someone start an analysis with how a GSL game went with the words "Any bronze...", I know to not take it seriously. Some people have some seriously skewed perceptions of how good these players are. | ||

Honestly I think the remainder of the players in this GSL just feel a little weak for finals candidates, but I'm not sure who I would really want to replace them. It might be a few GSLs before there's a new set of people who I'm really comfortable talking about as truly S-class players. I'll still bow down to MC and MVP(and possibly a few others depending on how well they're truly playing) but at this point I think everyone's ready to see some other truly top level player emerge and actually succeed. Also I think most people want it to be a zerg  MMA and Bomber will be coming up from Code A quite soon. | ||

MKP and MVP both did the exact same stuff multiple times, he has also shown solid play beforehand, which is why he said it I guess. e; Plus he does extremely well on the ladder so that probably factors into it. | ||

It doesn't discredit his statement in anyway. Tasteless is right, and probably knows more about Sc then all of us combined as he gets to meet most of the players anyway. Maybe he's heard from other pros that this is the case? Sc does quite well on the ladder aswell.. | ||

Also, I seem to recall after the match recap, the bracket was put up and Nada is due to meet sC. They're not on the same side, you can work out the brackets yourself by looking at the groups | ||
