Hero's a legitimately good player. Both games vs thorzain werent exactly straight forward games... some unfortunate things happened and he found himself in bad situations and way behind.

Every pro also has a MU that they are weakest in, could well be that PvT is Her0's weak spot (which is problematic considering just how many damn T's there are).

How about some Jaedong strutting his stuff while we wait for the next match. So sexy.

Just like ThorZaIN gave away game one with that risky second rax. Oh wait, could it be that risks are part of starcraft, and that the good players are good because they take risks?

How is 2rax even a risk lol? That rax was just proxied for deception, unless Hero was going for a 3gate expo (who even does that on one of the most common 1-1-1 maps lol) from the start, 2rax is going to break even

Who are you (or the TL mods) to judge someone's intelligence from a forum post over the internet?

When I post on TL I usually post in a civilized manner because that's just who I am. But if someone wants to express their opinion it shouldn't matter how they do it. "TOTALBISCUIT SUX" and "totalbiscuit isn't my favorite caster but I respect him, etc" are the same opinion expressed two different ways. TL's need to rid their website of 'stupid' people is extremely elitist and is hurting esports.

Ok haha...how exactly to phrase this..

It's not about intelligence. It's about not being a DICK. TL mods are perfectly within their rights not to want anyone being a dick on their website.

it's incredible that scv patrolling the cliff, think about it how many eu gm terrans does it against toss? Never seen any of our top terrans calling it..

It's still all-inish and cheesy nonetheless. He would have had to have done a TON of damage just to be even with thorzain economically at that point. Hero had a better chance if he just played a more solid style.

Does any1 else think its funny when someone gives there opinion about what the PROS do in their game and critisies it? like hero going for that dt rush alot of ppl are saying he gave that game to thorzain..... its stupid to think and say that. SINCE THATS WHAT MAKES THIS GAME SO FUN TO WATCH....... BECUASE EITHER THEY GET IN AND ITS EXCITING OR THEY GET DENIED AND UR IN AWWW FOR THE DEFENSE......

Eh, what makes game fun to watch for me is someone methodically ripping an opponent apart, one small bit at a time.

All the "lol protoss is so bad right now" comments after this series are really silly. Thorzain won cause he completely read his opponent and responded really well.
