lolwat, I don't "pretty much agree".

That's like saying "oh, my favorite player didn't take a fast enough third base or he would have won, the other person was just lucky". No, the other person won by capitalizing on the other person's failures. There is a winner and a loser, Rain was clearly the victor. But anyone who harasses Ret before the 20 minute mark while Ret makes nonstop drones and has about 4 lings 10 minutes into the game doesn't deserve a victory.

That's not quite what he said. Looking at the winner / loser is an incredibly simplistic way to look at how a game could have potentially turned out, which is the whole point of what he is talking about.

I didn't watch the game but it sounds like Ret made an obvious yet small mistake after scouting Rain's build, whereas, avoiding that, he would have been in a good position to win. Feel free to tell me if I'm wrong though, I'm just going off of secondhand information. It would be like if you nuked your own army after being 40 supply up and lost the game - would you still be saying "hey, guys, c'mon there is a winner and a loser the winner clearly deserved the win"? I mean at some point you have to say, okay this guy was in a good position to win but he really botched it in a way that normally he doesn't allow to happen.

I'm betting Drewbie is going to get rolled based on his current Pool standing.

Yeah, that would be a really dumb nerf. I don't think you touch it when stuff like the Boxer/MMA build are so new, you see if players can figure it out first. Don't get too reactionary with it.

Yeah just because a new strategy emerges that is really strong doesn't mean an immediate nerf is necessary. Blizzard already screwed up TvP when they removed energy from Thors without giving Protoss enough time to come up with a counter to that style. Hopefully Blizzard doesn't do anything stupid, this style that the SlayerS Terrans have been using is far from unbeatable. I'm sure that in time there will be a reliable way to defeat such attacks.

wow, NA players, except for IdrA, really not showing up this MLG during pool play.
Wasn't this supposed to be "their" home ground?

DRG after finding out he's playing MVP: "ARGHHHHH!". MVP's reaction after: "Bye bye!"

DRG afraid of playing MVP!?

I love the balance whiners...before the zerg QQer's whined about two racks rush...which is now easily defending by any diamond zerg who scouts...now that Terrans have found a new build that zergs haven't figured out how to play against and the zerg cries for terran nerfs deafen the ears once again.
