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!

Is it just me but does´nt Sjow do some pretty obvious mistakes in these games? Like almost zero scouting, and the fact that he did not build one viking in a tvt that was 35 min long blows my mind. Happy was sitting with 2 vikings that had about 5 medivacs kills a piece and gave Happy vision advanteged for 25+ min.

How can you justify that in a matchup where sight is vital. Ahh well whatever, that was frustraiting to watch as swed but after that match I must say I dont think Sjow deserves to go on to the round of 16.

My god non-korean TvT is just not fun to watch at all. At least the other mirror matchups end quickly.

Goddamnit the Colossus is such a stupid stupid unit. Its not imbalanced really, it just destroys the game when it is used. Seriously, most epic vP matches will not feature collosii in any serious capacity. Very little mirco, encourages so much turtling and not interesting to spectators in any capacity.

plz remove from game blizz thanks.

Well, I'm sorry if my posts offend you but my point was that WhiteRa has actually done very much for Starcraft overall and he is probably the number 1 foreigner overall considering SC1 and SC2. Admittably I do not know everything about SC1 history and maybe Idra can compete but I don't know if he has equally long bacground. As far as I have understood WhiteRa has been kicking ass longer than Idra.

Stop posting. Your opinion is obviously subjective, the idea of a number one is always subjective and you obviously have no idea what you're writing about if your opinion is prefaced with a "probably" after getting smacked down by everyone regarding it. Just let it go and move on.

And that is why I transition to sky terran in late game TvT. Playing tank/tank the entire late game is just so boring.

WhiteRa is absolutely awesome. How many other pro player do you know who have been at the absolute top of the game at pro level for as long as he has.

He is probably the number 1 foreigner of all time. Easily.

It's pretty early to talk about #1 foreign players of all time. You'd have to include SC1 into this discussion because SC2 is too young to call players best of all time. And when you include SC1 then there are a bunch of names which come to mind...

Well, the good thing about talking about #1 foreigner of all time is that you can talk about them at any point in time. You don't need to wait for a new extension to come into play or more tourmanents to take place. You can talk about them at any point in time because they have such long history. And in my opinion the best would be WhiteRa. Just look at what he accomplished in BW and how he remained relevant in SC2 beta and then in SC2 after publish and even now. That guy is a legend.

I really don't wanna be condescending but how can you even begin to talk about the best players of all time with such a limited knowledge?Grrrr was the only foreign player to ever win an OSL and you don't even recognize him (or his akas), not that I think that you know how big of a deal that is.

Ok I admit that I don't know who was the #1 best foreigner in SC1 but when you talk about the best foreigner in Starcaft overall you have to take SC2 into account and in that sense I would imagine WhiteRa would rank pretty highly since he appanretly had some pretty big wins in SC1 as well.

You probably shouldn't these kinds of post if you don't know the history of starcraft. White-ra was a damn good foreigner, but as Idra has said, being a good foreigner is like doing well in retard school (not the exact quote, but captures the same meaning). In SC2, Whitera has done well, but he hasn't actually won much. If anything, IdrA has had way more success (in both SC1 and SC2).

....

The thing is foreign results in SC1 did NOT MATTER AT ALL. Grrr at one point was considered - widely - to be the best player in the world, Korea and otherwise. White-Ra is great, but he has nothing that can match this....
