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.

Don't blame the game, blame the players.
Yep, both of them were playing a ball-y style. Both of them could have ended the game so much earlier if they multitasked. If it were Hero dropped into that situation DT's and WP's would be everywhere. MMA would have more than ONE FUCKING MEDIVAC.

really?
I blame the game, because once you try multi-pronged harass your ball is smaller and you just lose the ball vs ball fight terribly.
It is a problem with the game and it has been identified by blizzard and they are trying to fix in HOTS by introducing units that arnt used in the deathballs....but while bio is the standard in TvP you will see colossi balls....once mech becomes more viable I think this will change and battles will become very positional

I'd argue that the skillgap between korean T's and foreigner T's is huge, and much larger then the gap for P/Z. There are simply not that many foreigner terrans that can compete, which this tournament is proving yet again.
DH should have gotten themselves some more koreans, makes for a much more fun tourney. It's a sad day when I find myself cheering for PuMa ;p.
That's why the likes of GanZi and TOP lose to 36-35 PvT interntional TLPD like Gatored. This argument doesn't stand
An exception to a trend does not debunk the entire trend.
XD. Korean terrans are getting smashed by korean protoss in code S, what else do you want?

It seems the "Times you can clash your big ball against another big ball count" has reached 0 for Kas.
I really feel like SC2 vanilla is approaching the point where we desperately need additional units for more diverse strategies (that are NOT all-in) - I have my hopes up for shredders helping terrans to zone out mass chargelots at least.
Protoss usually do better in Eu anyway, and with the recent changes they're performing even better. So some of this should be expected. What happens in Korea seems to be what everyone pays attention too so we'll see how the current and next GSL pan out before jumping to conclusions

in HOTS you can do this kind of stuff more. as it is, you need flanks to win most fights and can't afford to harass the other player at the same time that he attacks you because....well obviously you'll have less units
Sjow vs Happy is so frustraiting. Happy has had air controll/vision advanteged for 20 min now with 2 vikings. Why the hell doesnt Sjow build 2 vikings during a 30min TvT...
Sjow is one of those players I really dont understand.
