Puma 1/1/1 - noob all in cheeser.
Gatored all in - Amazing strategy
Clever all in >> standard all in
1/1/1 is no skill, boring and uncreative
This was an amazing upset, an extremely unique and creative build with a high skill cap that was really entertaining.
Also he transitioned and expanded, so it wasn't an all-in
Rofl that was totally an all-in, he didn't even try to expand until he had killed DRGs main
An all-in against a guy taking a third on shakuras and droning. That's calculated and smart. The negative stigma of "all-in" needs to go away or foreigners are never going to win shit...
An all-in is an all-in, however you slice and dice it, I'm not saying anything about it being "skilless" or "smart", just that it WAS an all-in

When my favorite player loses I rage too, but try not to bring it into the live report, it's annoying.
Bad and awful get thrown around very easily in live-report threads, just replace them with disappointing or not perfect in your head.
While it was a risk to take he executed the strategy very well, I have mixed motions, DRG is one of my favorite zergs and he just lost but on the other hand a relatively unknown foreign player just beat fucking DRG! :D

i hope you noticed that his execution was actually awful btw also throwing down a nexus after a while doesn't suddenly make it a non allin build lol
Execution was "awful" (your word, cose if it beats drg that means that it was at least very good) because diferently to the 1-1-1, you need really high skill to play it. Micro the phoenixes while ff the enemy base, while ff your base, while microing your other forces, while macroing, is not an easy task.

I would say a little of both. But DRG really has to get his ZvP together to be one of the best (imo).

We're people upset about the extreme delay and didnt watch? Are people not as excited about the players? (I know I wasn't blown away by the pool) Opinions?
.... what ?
LoL always had a lot more viewers than SC2 since the big tourneys of LoL started.

To be the best, you just need to win the greatest tournament. The greatest tournament (GSL) doesn't have any protosses left. So DRG's good
