Strelok is the better player, but that engagement at elfi's third was awful. | ||

Not that impressive play by either of these players. Bit disappointed after all the "Europe hype" zomg u seen one game and it wasn't very good. watch elfi 6-0 his group and dimaga 6-0 his group and not judge all of europe by 2 weird games. | ||

I've honestly never heard of Elfi until now and despite deplorable micro at the start of the game, he looked really solid against Strelok in 2set. He has been around in the european scene. But didn't make a huge impact until he beat Nada at Assembly and then qualified for both IEMs. | ||

Really? Exactly, he didnt even moved his army out of the storms, also the huge EMP fail that hit like 2or3 zealots? No way he could win that fight. Crying imbalance over that fight is just silly. | ||

Also storm dodge your bio, try to emp the templars coming in from the back, set up tanks, and kite. It's really difficult to micro a bio/tank/viking when there's AoE out on the field. At the same time Toss has it's own positioning issues so don't take what I'm saying as about balance. They have to dodge make sure not to get blanket emp'd but in the end there's a reason you don't see heavy bio-tank army. It actually just blows to any form of AoE, because the AoE just destroys the bio and leaves the tanks vunerable to die, because if you kite the storms/collusi your tanks die (and you need a lot of tank volleys to really make a difference). 1-1-1 tank timings were good because they exploited toss before they could get collusi/templar. | ||

There is not agrument- terran is really strong, and in small/ medium groups is better. But in true max army Toss has a huge micro advantage Terran Micro: dogging storms Sieging tanks Emps/snipes Vikings targeting Stimming Kitting with bio Toss micro- place couple good storms FF make sure zealots and archons ar einfront Dodge EMP Wayyyy less to do. Thus- equal skill- max army- toss win | ||

Dude, i'm not really judging. I meant that it hasn't been impressive SO FAR. I bet he has been playing pretty impressive and well if he went 6-0 in the group stages, and not to forget Dimaga. But it's going to be hard whoever advances, especially when it most likely comes down to playing Puma/JYP. And with this play Elfi is playing right now, i doubt he has chances against player like Puma. But we've seen both players playing very sloppy today, so might be nerves, might be tiredness who knows. | ||
