Keep enjoying the games. In advance, if you OP whine, see you in a while. If you post well, hopefully see a lot more of you :D <3 |

elfi didnt deserve that, hasu outplayed him in just about everyway All of you guys claiming Hasu outplayed...i hope you realize PvP at the top level is like 80% decision making. Its all metagame. Edit: that is, almost every top player has good enough micro do almost anything; its the choices and mindgames that win, thus, Hasu losing means Hasu was, at least today, the worse PvPer kthxbai kthxhai, care to explain why it's ~80% in each and every game of PvP? most people are saying that hasuobs is more consistent in his good decision making mid to late game. even players today are unsure of the best way to play. if it means being able to stay alive, and being able to play well in the late game, then yeah, hasuobs did play a better style but fell short.
Uh, 80% was an arbitrary number to illustrate the point that PvP is by and far all about the choices you make
Care to explain? Yes. Everyone can blink stalkers and move around their colossus. Not fucking hard. Its the reads you make and the choices you make based on them that determine the game. End of story. Hasu isn't bad he just got outplayed. Boom.
edit: game 3, no cannon in main was a terrible decision. he was safe from the front and from blink (and he knew it) and thus the only possible threat was dt into main, and he didn't build a single cannon despite having forge
game 4: he should have won that game, and i think anyone who knows phoenix pvp and pvp in general realized that. moving down the ramp to defend that one gateway with only one immortal BARELY lost him the game, and if he had had 3 immortals or more it would have just been a move into hasu for hard win, and phoenix/obs to prevent blinking in/map awareness, or just go for base trade because he would have won that too
game 5: LOL in general there. if you think hasu outplayed in any way in game 5, you're just wrong

Only Elfi would want Puma as an opponent in PvT looooooooooool

For the second time, elfi just beat idra in pool play.. omg where are these people coming from?

|
lol. Elfi just said "I don't think I can beat any of them" when asked who he'd rather face.

You mean, coin-flipping. Glad I missed the series between Hasu and Elfi. I enjoyed dinner instead. ^^ Wtf; how can you be "glad" you missed something when you have no idea what happened. It was a pretty amazing series with a lot of back and forth action and awesome engagements. Really really entertaining to watch. I got to watch like last 3 minutes where both Dark shrines were going up. I figured I wouldn't have missed much. Unfortunately you missed heaps! Hasu was behind so he went for a gamble, and Elfi scouted no robo or forge so made the correct decision. DT shrine != insta-cheese Anyway; i would recommend that series for some entertaining PvP
Thank you for letting me know. I might think about catching up the replays. ^^ But based on what I saw from Elfi's previous replays I highly doubt I'll watch his games. Waste of time, IMO. To be blunt, I think it's the sad state of SC2 (and to an extent Protoss race) that a player like Elfi (in his current form) can rack up wins.

Man what a nice guy, he gave a great interview and just seems to happy to be playing well. Definitely a huge Elfi fan now
|
Wanting Puma takes some fucking BALLS.
Elfi just made a huge fan of me.
|
Elfi doesnt think he can beat idrA instead of puma? even as a fan of idra that sounds off

When Huk beat Naniwa in the final of Homestory cup I think it was, with a massive supply deficit and a risky DT switch everybody loved it, as did it. Huk showed a huge pair of balls and pulled back the deficit
Why the Elfi bashing?
I think it's because Huk also won macro games against Naniwa in that series whereas it felt like Elfi could only pull ahead with perfectly timed DT's which is fair play to him I guess lol just not as impressive as Hasu's sandwish in g2
|
After hearing that interview....I think Elfi is going to beat whoever comes out of the other semi. I could see the fire in his eyes.
|
is there a way to watch the IEM from the Chinese stream with Chinese commenters??
Actually, Is there a Chinese casters stream?

...someone get a translator
I can hear Elfi fine...his accent seems similar to Eastern European (Ukraine/Russia?)

I'm an instant elfi fan.Guy has some charisma.

The guy has some respect for Idra despite beating him 2-0.
But he should consider that TvP is Pumas best matchup and ZvP Idras worst. So he certainly has better chances against Idra.

He claims his PvZ is awful, so he'd rather play T. Then again it's Puma. Then again, he just said he doesn't think he can beat any of them.
Man, I hope the finals isn't lame.

WHEN YOU BLINK YOU CANT BLINK AGAIN FOR A WHILE, THUS, WHEN YOU BLINK INTO A BASE AND THEY HAVE ZEALOTS AND NEAR EQUAL STALKERS AND CLOSER REINFORCEMENTS, YOU WILL LOSE WAY MORE AND RUIN YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING
someone send this guy the goddamn memo
Give it a freaking rest. He had an observer so he could've blinked into a spot where Hasu had no units. It wasn't a sure victory but it was completely possible it would've won the game. Get the freaking stick out of your ass and chill out.
