Please stop the tournament comparison discussion. Especially regarding players their runs (Stephano seems to be the current topic). Stay on topic and stick to the games. Consequences will be met out to further derailment. In addition leave the usual out of this topic: -Balance complaints -Map complaints -Stream complaints -Caster/player bashing -Off topic discussions Logically continue this list with things that are obviously frowned upon. Enjoy the free and wonderful event with loads of games and coverage! | ||

Look at his third expansion timing in the second game. The casters were sceptical about it and were focused too much on Thorzain's upgrades and sweet unit control, but Naama knew that when Thorzain feels in advantage he tends to be passive to consolidate. He just needed to harass more to make Thorzain believe that he was about to allin (or just to keep him in his base for about 5 minutes), and then get more and more ahead with his macro. | ||

Im comparing it to the fact of the 4 protosses who have qualifed so far only one I didnt think would get through. I also predicted sheth wouldnt go through and Stepahno would. Im saying my OWN opinion. IN the remaingin groups I cant actually see White-ra get through but I can see ToD. I was wrong in rrepvious post SaSe I think is better then nerchio, im not writing Nerchio off hes goign to come second in the group.. and if he plays well he can beat SaSe but I still think SaSe is better then both Daboo and Select(who can be hot and cold) if Select is hot and Nerchio plays well the is every chance SaSe wont get through, my opinion thought is SaSe will go through... Same as Group F I want Hero and think hero will doit after a decent run at MLG, but DRG is the favourite in that group and Sen can ebat anyone too but I have a feeling Hero will beat Sen and beat elfi in PVP. PLus I also think KAS will come top of a 3 other Protoss group so im not ebing biased towards Protoss at all. he's not talking about ur view hes talking bout the community tendency to say P losing = sad zealot and while P winning = good player which i also thought exactly the same | ||

Thorzain didn't really bother to prepare for this tourney. I think he entered it just coasting on play mediocre and seeing how far he would go. Thorzain needs to pull a Naniwa and go 15+ hour a day training for a while then come back for a big tourney destroying everyone. | ||

PLus I also think KAS will come top of a 3 other Protoss group so im not ebing biased towards Protoss at all. Oh come on now. The amount of balance whine by protoss players back when they lost so much was unreal and now as soon as someone just mentions the fact that protoss is not that unsuccesful anymore you just call them out and tell them to "gtfo" because protoss players are just better. Maybe you now know what it felt like for us terrans back when korean terrans won every MLG and people blamed balance for it. And this community is incredibly biased toward protoss, they even have their own fanclub where they complain about how underpowered their race is, but as soon as a terran ever complains they get insulted and called out by like 20 people. This community is full of hypocrites and you know it. The mods don't allow balance whine? Then why is there a fanclub or even articles that complain about protoss being oh so underpowered? It's ridiculous and you all know it. | ||

But thorzain playing at his best is about a thousand times more interesting to watch than naama executing his 1 base timings like some sort of robot. qq. | ||
