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! | ||

But let's face it, they have been weak since the ghost nerf patch (1.4.2?). weak? WEAK?? first lets see if it gets below 55% winrate, then we start discussing it | ||

Sorry if I said that negatively; I know the game was over, but the thing is most players don't GG out that early like that - they pull desperation moves and hope for a favorable engagement, but Sen, like Idra, didn't do that. I agree that the outcome would not have changed, but IMO its nice to see a player attempt to come back from a situation like that, even if its destined to fail. (MVP, for example, makes people work very very hard to get a gg from him, even if it looks like he'll lose) | ||

Let's face it, there's a thread specifically designed for this balance whining, and it seems you can't read the top of the thread: "In addition leave the usual out of this topic: -Balance complaints" ^See that? | ||

HerO less so only because there are a lot of good zergs left over. Writing off all the known Koreans was an obvious mistake. The known Koreans have been playing very strong and haven't lost any series to non-Koreans. Stephano, Thorzain, SeleCT, Sen, elfi and Idra are all out despite being thought to be potential winners. | ||

Foreign terran players win tournaments everyday, it depends on what kind of restrictions you make for the answer. | ||

But let's face it, they have been weak since the ghost nerf patch (1.4.2?). No? I don't see any weakness - just that the game became more balanced since the Ghost nerf. EMP shoul've never been that strong in the first place. As for foreign terrans not winning anything, well they aren't as good as their korean peers and their pretty far from that korean skill ceiling than their toss/zerg counterparts. As for ladder, I ain't terran so maybe their too weak there so Idk... | ||

There's still time for redemption for foreigners, but in general I've not been impressed by their play this tournament. No foreigner looked all that solid, which is odd given that the competition at MLG was better and this is home turf for Europeans/Swedes, yet in MLG the few top foreigners who were there all looked pretty solid. Still pulling for White-Ra though. | ||
