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.. Based on this series alone, I wouldn't say he's one of the best TvZ players, after seeing someone like MVP or MKP play against Z, or even boxer. I'm not saying he's bad at TvZ, just that I don't think he's near one of the best TvZ players. | ||

It's one thing to be very good, and another to be a hero. I think if it's going to be anyone currently in Code A it'll be Bomber but I also want to point out the possibility of players who are currently known and seen as not being particularly good improving. Pick a random player - what could happen to Coca in 6 months? | ||

There are several zergs who've never accomplished more than that who are still held in high regard. Maybe peoples expectations of Losira are slightly too high, but overrated carries too many negative implications for my taste. | ||

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. Wow, got banned for this post? Good job. | ||

Because they're entertaining to watch as opposed to watching a Zerg make 80 drones and then a-move 2x120 supply all over a terran's bases? | ||

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. I'll have to agree that sC's TvZ isn't anything to be notable for. But he's definitely one of the best Terrans in Korea. I'd say Top 10. He placed first in a group of 4 Terrans including top players such as TOP and beat Polt in the Ro16. And he's also been on the top of the Korean ladder quite a bit. Also, as for state of the game, yes Zergs is the hardest race to play, but Zerg's have been able to defend 2 rax bunker rushes quite easily recently and that's why Terrans use it less nowadays. Losira should have handled that situation a lot better. As for the first game, it was extremely close and Losira could have won if he had used infestors more/better. As for the 3rd game. If you call that an all-in that was a very bad attempt at one. Teching to Lair and building a 3rd hatchery while all-inning? That wasn't an all-in. It was just a very weird(possibly stupid) build by Losira, probably because of nerves or whatever. | ||

Yeah.. that sounds about right. Did you even watch the match?scfou went a 8 RAX WITH REACTORS PUMPING MARINE like a madman all-in.How often do you see those kind of all-ins?Losira probably could not take the continuous pressure from sc.Game 2?That was just a build order win.Bunker rush+marines+12scvs vs 14 hatch PLUS CLOSE POSITION.Trust me man,its like so freaking difficult to hold that even as a pro. Game3?Probably expected sc to win.Losira all-in probably out of frustration from being cheesed twice. | ||

When a zerg wins, it's "perfect play" that outplays his opponent. Its funny how people imply that the majority of people who play zerg are qq'ers by nature. The reason why so many zerg's qq must be because there must be an issue in balance with the race. | ||

A Bling/Infestor composition with fast upgrades + faster T3 tech does way better on this map, especially against that mass marine, tank style. | ||
