I think it's an issue with transliteration, or in other words, alternate ways of spelling the same anglicized name. So for example, Dmytro can also be spelled as Dimitro, and thus, Dima for short. | ||

I dunno, I just don't see how you can say he shot himself with tons of bad decision making. Just seems like an exaggeration. He made a decision based on what he thought was happening but he made a mistake which in hindsight makes that decision look bad. I'll take having an army+tech advantage and being down a base with drones anyday over going into a random basetrade situation with only broodlords, no bases, no anti-air and 6K minerals. I guess MrBitter also doesn't play the game because he said what everyone besides yourself has said: Dimaga should have spent his larvae. | ||
