as i told before is seem to me that there is a match fix in Puma vs Idra... let suppose idra lose and get matched vs hasuobs, he will lose to hasuobs that is pretty good vs Zerg he beated dimaga,
and puma have a better chance to win agaings hasuobs since his TvP is......1/1/1

so there is a match fix there, no room for idra beating straight u puma no way.

Yeah, Bitter is impressed with idra (as you should be), but puma is a big? right now. I don't know.

In other news, now I think a protoss can win this!

Puma never has been a big terran. Maybe right after his NASL win you could argue that, but he was still pretty untested against koreans at that time.


You do realize Darkforce was the only non-Korean in the round of 8 of NASL right? That means Puma had to go through 3 Koreans at least, and I know that he beat both July and MC. He did very well at MLG, playing at the level of all the Koreans there. Add IEM Cologne, to say Puma is not that good compared to Koreans is ridiculous. Ask anyone who knows anything about the Korean scene right now and they will tell you he is code-S level. He also was quite a beast in the GSTL when he was on TSL.

Actually, Sen was also in the NASL Ro8, and he is Taiwanese.

Anyways, the LR thread is following a predictable pattern of elation from the masses followed by harsh skepticism from the few. Oh well. Doesn't really change my opinion that these games were kickass.

The koreans he went through weren't very notable, he never played against July, he played against Squritle barely beating him 2-1 (squirtle hasn't been in code A for like 3 seasons now), he beat MC which was right when Protoss actually began to struggle, then he went to IEM Cologne, lost to Mana 2-0 in group, beat MC with 3 1-1-1's in a row prepatch, and beast in GSTL? He played like one series where he got a 3 kill. Before then he was hardly ever played because he was on the brink of B team.

Now getting to MLG, he went 5-0 in group, but he got destroyed by Coca who was known for a bad ZvT, and then he lost to Nada when he was up in the extended series. Code S level is a pretty big phrase for someone who has never qualified for code A once and couldn't make it to top 3 at MLG even if DRG wasn't there to take the spot.

He's definitely code A level, but there's a lot of players in code A who deserve spots over some of the older code S players right now.

Pardon my lack of knowledge, but... who is Elfi?

Not really.


I was a pretty big WC3 fanboy back in the day and don't remember this guy...


No offense but how can you possibly have been a WC3 fanboy and not know of Elfi?? He was the best Finish player along with Satiini for aaaaaaaages and went to WCG etc


Maybe the name just evades me now, I definitely remember Satiini.

NVM, I searched up his name, now I remember. Wouldn't call him a legend though. Good player.

Sorry about that. I usually try to do better with my interviews.

LOL, the term legend gets thrown around a little too easily these days. Elfi was a high level player, but I wouldn't call him a wc3 legend. I would reserve non-Korean legend status for grubby, tod, insomnia, creo, heman, fatc, madfrog, deadman, shortround and maybe a few others.

Yep. Guarenteed finals!

And at this point we'll probably get two EG in the top 3.

This thread reminds me of something Milkis translated on twitter from PlayXP which was to the effect of "foreigners can't read games".

Did that series actually strike people as a high level display of cutting edge ZvT? I think that GSL has just spoiled me too much at this point or something.

Thorzain wasn't mid-level. It's just the scene was dying already when he became really good.

Yeah, because hes a completely selfless individual right? And you can still be happy for your teammates if youre at the event itself. I think demuslim would have done well at this tournament, therefore, he probably regrets his visa situation.

Well it's not really strange, they're both RTS games (I think WC3 has a stronger emphasis on micro). Plus look at SelecT who was a DoW champ, he's doing alright in sc2 now.

WC3 was ALL micro. There was no "macro" to speak of. I mean, most of the games you put 5 workers at gold at the beginning and that's the end of "macro".
