Idra and Sen are way more consistent then Dimaga and Ret. Sen is pretty good, but not particularly consistent, only really did well at NASL after a long long run of unsuccessful tournaments. The only thing Idra is consistent at is mediocrity, he has been going to alot of tournaments lately and never breaking top 3 in any of them. | ||

I was fairly sure I he was and said I wasnt but nobody took me seriously. Just now I realized that Carmac and Carnac isnt the same person.. Now everything makes a lot more sense.. ^^ | ||

I don't like IdrA either but you are making a straw man. Ret and Idra pretty much had the same showing at Anaheim, except Ret got eliminated 2-1 by Ganzi (you know, the dude from SlayerS, the team who had the best minds in the game handcraft a new TvZ build). Idra got eliminated 2-0 by Naniwa. The guy who... we've just seen get completely dominated. Straw man is bringing up their final ranking while ignoring f the circumstances under which the rank was achieved. | ||

Unlike terrans, protoss players seem to have stopped doing the one base all ins or early pressure, allowing zergs to start with three bases (?), droning up to 60+ drones in the first few minutes. I totally cannot understand this trend. Ret was playing the same style few months ago and was blown away in Korea by early pàressure, always overdroning being his doom and now the same style reaps rewards. And please don't tell me how much he has improved - Ret has always been a macro beast, looks like his time has come. I can't make a 4 gate work against Zerg in Master league, so I've great doubts that it will ever work at this level. Protoss simply can't put pressure on the Zerg, and Zerg have figured out that these voidray/phoenixes harass were easily shut down by a few spore crawlers. So what can you do as Protoss ? Random timing pushes still occasionaly work though. Sad thing is that they it relies entirely on Zerg mistakes. Btw with the exception of MLG (dominated by Korean Terrans), every recent tournaments have been won by Zerg: GSL code S, WCG China, Assembly, now blizzcon, and btw one of the finalist of the current GO4SC2 is a Zerg as well (second might also be Zerg). And the most depressing is that you can't blame the infestors for that... It's more due to the fact that Zerg players learned how to use their lategame units and repell the timing pushes... | ||

Enjoyed this tournament a lot! Great casting by RotterdaM and MrBitter. I can see them groing to an Tastosis, DayjWheat level (I like them more already, but hope others will see it as well.) Joe Miller and Carmac also did an amazing thing on stage. Good questions to the players and let the show get on a good roll. Lastly thanks to all the players for the great games. Some of the best I have seen from Foreigner vs Foreigner in a long time! | ||
