EDIT: Okay, pretty much every SlayerS Terran (minus Taeja) is really bad at TvP. | ||

He played some very unfortunate games in it in the past (those up/downs vs HuK, and then losing to DTs vs Puzzle in Code A), but more recently, he looked very good against Naniwa at MLG. Nada isn't really a top Terran imo, unfortunately. At the very least, whenever I see him play, he looks sloppy and kind of lost. As for Slayers Terran, Ganzi's TvP is good enough. Ryung beat Puzzle very decisively. Boxer, we don't really see play, so no idea. Who else do they have? | ||

NaDa's play is top tier when he's focused on practicing, but University often gets in the way. It's actually rather easy to see when he's been studying hard for University instead of practicing, as his play falls off rather precipitously. | ||

Eh, he was off for summer and his play didn't look remotely better than it did when he was studying. --- Yay for a third game between Life and Squirtle! ^_^ | ||

(izzit Puzzle?) then lately he lost to Oz n fail to qualify code A. | ||

Ryung beat Puzzle very decisively. Boxer, we don't really see play, so no idea. Who else do they have? If MMA can't beat Naniwa (esp. pre-Korea), then I'd be really worried about him. I don't think he'd actually decisively win even against HongUn in a TvP. NaDa's TvT is quite good (which is pretty much the match-up that matters the most these days). His TvZ and TvP are nowhere near as solid, though. As for SlayerS, there's a reason why everyone was all, "Oh thank god, SlayerS finally has a Protoss sniper for the GSTL," when the news about CoCa broke out. Taeja's good at TvP, of course, but he doesn't dominate anywhere near as hard as CoCa in the vP match-up, especially when you throw the BO1 volatility into the mix. I'd call them MMA, Ganzi, and Ryung mediocre at best, with maybe a few flashes of "decent TvP" in them. Good TvPers are players like Polt, Bomber, and Puma. Then you have Jjakji, Taeja, and MVP as above-average TvPers, two of which haven't really "proven" themselves much in the GSL and one of which ... well, only played a BO1 against MC and a series against a jetlagged Huk while dropping a game to Kiwi at MLG. | ||

Oh well, yay squirtle indeed =p I dunno, I still think that he could've put up a decent fight had he not walked all his shit to his fifth(?) to get slaughtered. I mean, it wasn't the best position to be in, but I don't think he was dead 100%. In any case, Life needs to work on his micro. The most telling part might have been that bit at the beginning where he got all his roaches killed trying to chase down stalkers. C'mon, Life, that's Micro 101. If something runs away while other things are shooting at you, don't chase it and re-target the stuff that's standing still. =/ | ||

Btw with a skilled protoss player pickup in Puzzle I think slayers terrans will get much better at TvP, it seemed alicia was stagnating and he was the only notable protoss slayers had before then. | ||
