While it's not impossible that he would've held it with +1 Immortal Range, the main problem were the Marines. There were simply too many Marines left and Immortals aren't good against Marines. I'm not too sure if killing Tanks faster by having +1 range on Immortals would have been enough to kill all the Marines.

guys, guys please - in group E there is only one terran, so we have one guaranteed non-terran-player beside Nestea in Ro16; no need to worry

You know, if GOM did that as a specialty tournament a la Arena of Legends, I would pay to watch that 
They could call it the Guinea Pig tourney... or something.

Him making the ro8 last season was a total fluke. Those games versus Nada were just abominable, from both of them. He's still the only foreigner in code S, and that's good enough, especially playing the race he does. So the season b4 was a fluke as well? When he made the ro16? I don't remember those group games specifically, but the meta game for PvT wasn't in the state it is in right now. And as far as I remember, he got pretty lucky with his opponents every time in code S so far. He can compete in code S and sometimes get through the group stage, but I think Huk is in his place right now. He's by no means a finalist or close to it.
Wait so he isn't good enough to beat Code S groups, but can compete in Code S and can get through the Code S groups. Nice logic you got going there.

well we already have 1 gauranteed Terran to the round of 4.
just need nestea to lose to Virus in the Ro16 to gaurantee a second.
|
Immortals actually do decent vs unstimmed Marines which is part of why you get them vs 1-1-1
|
7 of 8 Terrans advancing. Something has to be done. it already passed the point of stupidity.

Yeah he only destroyed Nada, but who is that anyways? Prolly some nobody i guess. Saying that he destroyed nada is just not true. They were very close games, and nada 2-0 him in mlg shortly after that

I'm still quite happy that HuK stayed in code S. Hopefully this is pretty close to the rock bottom of toss, so a month later they might packing quite a lot extra punch as long as they can hold for now.

No more Protoss are going to advance to the Ro16 but I could see Coca, DRG and July/Losira making it. I'll probably only watch those games then because I don't want to see any more TvT

As great as Virus played today, this is probably the most ridiculous statement in this thread, outside of balance whines.

What's it gonna matter? Archons are useless when virus already has 3 ghosts.

He's by no means a finalist or close to it, he's just gotten awfully close to being a finalist against some really good players. Herp derp.

To be fair that "fluke' may be the farthest any protoss goes since hongun in july, and he lost to mvp that was bending everyone over... Because honestly hong un is the only p that looks like they have a chance of making it out of group stages this time  7 of 8 advancing so far t's get ready for more tank wars, i mean sc2.
Genius also made r8 last season...
I'd expect either HongUn or Genius to make r8 again this season tbh.

Cheers to the lot of you. Good night(morning)

At least Nyovne will have some comfort in the fact that less toss players making it through means less QQ in future LR-threads

Why? I know internationally where there are less Koreans he has done well and has taken down MC at Homestory, but in the GSL he's always been meh...
Artosis always disses on guys like Ensnare, Zenio etc who have been staples of Code S, but wouldn't Huk be more or less on the same level? Admittedly, he gets alot of lucky breaks in the up/downs avoiding code A several times.
This group was quite weak, asd is very new to Code S and didn't show much last season and I don't think Virus has ever made it out of group stages(probably wrong here - but he does only have a 44% win rate)

Nobody switches a Starport to a Techlab to build a Raven , building a second starport is like a million times more likely. You need to have Medivacs they are way more important then a Raven would even if you don't have scans . You need to clean up the Protosses army and a Raven doesn't help in that regard very much.

if Nestea lose to Virus im gonna ...
