Oh for goodness sake SeleCT is trying to win a tournament, not please people on a forum. What the hell is wrong with you people? He is a professional gamer. Stop complaining.

Well done SeleCT, keep going.

I hate this argument :/. It sounds as if you are saying "he's doing an awful thing, but I understand him". At least to the kids who'd continue whining. People need to realize that this is a legit strat, and it was legit even when it was imba, as back then it was bad game balance, and players had no fault for it ...


Im not sure I totally understand what you meant here but anyway, what Im saying is that a good player will react when he scouts a nexus first build with the best response he knows. SeleCT scouted it, dropped a bunch of barracks and killed his opponent. Simple, smart, professional. Thats all.

Now it has become so omnipresent, that a player blind countering the build EVERY game gets scouted, his opponent reacts smartly, and we STILL get whine about Terran aggression

Because Killer wouldn't do blind nexus first builds if it wasn't the only way to avoid dying to a 1-1-1 duh.

People complain cos its shit to watch. It's that simple.

Because no one wants to watch cheesy overpowered Terran all ins.

What was so overpowered there? SeleCT went for a 4 rax rush against nexus first. Killer holding that off would've been overpowered. If a terran goes CC first on the low ground, and dies to a 4 gate rush/baneling bust, would you be whining about imbalance?

So Select all-ins Sangho three games in a row beating him 2-1 then has to be interviewed by the guy who beat him?

That's pretty shitty

It's unbelievable how much it looks like WoW, with those elves walking down that path, it was the exact same path & surroundings as in Teldrassil, like 100% the same.
It appears I have been chosen.

Its pretty irritating that both korean protoss have to come up with such risky strategies against foreigners from the beginning of the tournament.

dt openings, nexus first ... ouch

Its time for someone to figure out a safe way to play p.



No matter how hot it gets, sooner or later there's a cool breeze coming in.

Do you have any idea why a professional, intelligent sc2 player would do this kind of risky build three times in a row blindly? Becauase with ANY other build you instantly loose to 1-1-1. So going nexus first every single game is even less risky and gives you at least a very small chance to win, compared to none.
