He played soo sloppy against Strelok and really neither of them deserved to win that series, it was just bad. He played well in group stages but I think nerers get to him too much or something, because it was painful to watch and players like Puma or Idra will not lose if he plays like that again, IMO he is one of the weakest players left. | ||

Puma has been one of the best terrans (top 10 easily) in the world for a long time, with amazing results from the tournments he's joined. I really didn't bother to read that far back into the LR but I assume the Whine is about how he won, not that he won. People(Especially us Protoss) will always whine when one of our up and coming heroes get wiped out by 1-1-1. Plus seeing as its the only build Puma seems to be able to do in TvP it makes for very boring and predictable series to watch... | ||

JYP has shown some really inspirational PvZ lately but got trashed by Dimaga because he reverted to a more outdated style for no apparent reason, was quite strange but very well played by Dimaga, only for him to drop his level and lose to Hasu! Also ridiculous the hate Puma gets. I hate to see 1/1/1 but it's not as if he's using it every game and his ability to come back against that Chinese Zerg on the first day with CONSTANT drops being well controlled was mechanically impressive. | ||

I think that in order to state that, we need to define what "TOP" means. Does being a top player means that you are what, top 16? top 32? Is it by achievement? I consider code A material pretty high tier, considering the amount of people trying to get in. So many good players were in Code B not long ago, DRG, Bomber... Revival have not yet had many results, but showed some great games on the team league. Does he play as well as Nestea? Nope, but that doesn't necessarily means he can't be considered top level. | ||

Nope, but that doesn't necessarily means he can't be considered top level. i think theres a signifigant difference between a Korean player, a top korean and an elite korean. - Elite koreans are the best of the best. MVP or Nestea for example. These players are almost always favored no matter who the opponent or what race they play. - Top koreans are consistant Code S/A caliber players - Nada; July; Clide; HuK; etc. - Koreans are those we know of but only from GSTL or a random Code A apperance - Seed; Tails; Luvsic This is just my opinion though and there's a lot of issues with players who fall between categories. Is DRG in the "Top" korean or an "Elite". Where does MC lie? | ||

I don't wanna be flaming or something but it's laggy to the the point where it's unwatchable and keeps jumping back and forth several minutes. For example right before what looked like it could have been the deciding fight between Elfi and Strelok on Shattered Temple it just jumped back to the game before and when it went back to Shattered the game was alredy decided. I didn't watch the series I'm watching now this morning and the one i saw were fine, so it's probably only a problem with the rebroadcast and the original one is fine but it's still annoying. It's probably not really IEM crew's fault though. | ||

No one talks about the only close series in the round of Dimaga vs Hasu... it was also a slight upset as Dimaga seems to have been playing better than Hasu recently. But haters gonna spam threads. | ||

So I have a question. Why don't Zerg players when going Roach, Ling, Infestor split their armies in two so they are always in a flanking position? Every game it was hard to watch Roaches and Lings engage with one front line when he seemed to have tons and tons of opportunities for flanking but he just kept one ball of units and just 1A with it. I feel like Roach Ling armies are designed for flanking. They are the best when used that way. At least that is how I see them vs Protoss. I feel that flanking reduces the effectiveness of Colossi and Sentry by a great deal. If I where to picture it on the minimap it would look like the Zerg was a binary star system and the Protoss army the center of mass. | ||
