obviously nobody is blaming or hating on elfi wtf? its just sad that it requires twice the amount of skill to pull it off as a terran, pretty disheartening to watch korean terrans with their superior multitasking and micro rape everything on their path on tournaments and lose games or even sets to foreigner protosses.
.. I wish people would actually try to get to a high level of play before writing such comments. I do find TvP a very hard match up and I don't train as much. Last 3 days I did 150 games and did practice with ReaL. It is a very hard match up for BOTH sides at different stages of the game and the different strategies clashing into each other.
I guarantee you that an offensive engagement in the very late game against mass amounts of Ghosts is an equal pain in the ass AS attacking with Terran. =.= Seriously.
You're wasting your time. Even the fact that you're a progamer won't stop people from whining about the matchup.
Got plenty, sitting at works, but thanks haha :-)! I will just enjoy the games^____^!
Well since there's a pro talking in this thread I wanted to ask you a question.
Why shouldn't Terrans cry? Protoss cried non stop and finally Blizzard game them their buffs. After witnessing that, why shouldn't Terrans?
Also, the last time a foreign Terran won a major live tournament was well over a year ago. People focused exclusively on GSL-- a 32 man tournament-- and ignored the other player pool of 100s of more players where Protoss actually did quite well.
Whining hurts only yourself. Even if I find a match up very hard there's just no use to whine all the time. Last days I didn't do anything besides work and play games and I improved a ton. Just watch a game from your opponent from his view, or watch your view with his production tab. You can learn so much.
Whenever you tell yourself that you are losing because of imbalance, you won't improve. You lose because you are doing mistakes and the last days I actually realized that the match up I don't like TvP is very winnable if you just put a bit of thought into it.
I don't think the game is perfectly balanced but what makes it look imbalanced to a lot of people is that there are actually some build orders (I don't want to call them build order wins) that put you either ahead or behind and a pro usually can win from an advantage. So yes - whining only hurts you.
If Jinro wins 2-0 he advances 100% If Jinro wins 2-1 elfi needs to lose If Jinro loses 1-2 elfi needs to lose 0-2, then Jinro and Adelscott tie
Does this sound about right?!
If elfi 2-0's adel, jinro has no chance.
If efli 2:0 and Jinro would have 2:0 Taeja: Jinro 2-1 5-3, elfi 2-1 5-3, Taeja 2-1 4-3 => Jinro and elfi go through, Taeja is eliminated. Of course it is not possible anymore, but the post was correct.
Really don't like their tournament system. Don't like system with losers brackets either. The championat system where everyone plays against everyone is the best. xD But unfortunately no one uses.
