Lol yeah even Tasteless was like "Naniwa is the best Protoss in the world" and all I could do was so LOLNO over and over to my computer. No matter what foreigners get massively overrated just for a win or 2, and it gets pretty pathetic sometimes. It will continue happening until every foreigner moves to Korea and they all get their turn to be stomped in Code A, and then MAYBE people will stop over-reacting to small things.

Thorzain all-killed IM. But since Mouz coming from losers bracket, needs to win another match to secure the title.
Now HasuObs lost to Yoda. Currently it is Bigs vs Yoda.

I am sorry but beating Koreans consistently without the benefit of training in Korea is not a small thing at all, which is why I rank the achievements of ThorZain or Stephano pretty highly. Going 50-50 is already extraordinary.

Sure it's good, but it's not best zerg in the world material for that matter.

this tourny is making such good games, wow

The fact that pro zergs don't put spores around their late bases bugs the shit out of me. All you ever see is a shit ton of spines (or in this case nothing)

wow Yoda has some crazy multitasking and a very good understanding of the matchup, always been impressed but there are so few times I get to see him play

I agree with your statements as to what constitutes a big thing, only problem is that there's not enough of a sample of their performance in the GSL to say consistency. I mean... Stephano played really well, but 4 games is just 4 games...

Having a ton of Broodlords is just step 1. One needs absolutely excellent positioning and unit control in order to really make them work.
