I'll explain him how Elfi microed during that fight on 1st game: 1) He sent the zealots/immortals in front not clumped too much. 2) Once he got a 15-20 supply lead only from this positional advantage, he blinked in with his stalkers to snipe the Colossus/Immortals then he blinked back once his Stalkers were starting to die. MC didn't do much during that fight other than a-move. No offense to Huk, but l2p. Ain't u the guy who said that foreigners were better than koreans? Still wanting to claim that by trying to prove that pvp isn't random? (come on, Feast > Hero, MC losing a lot of pvp to foreigners, etc, etc...) | ||

He didn't shut down anyone. He's just blaming his poor results on PvP's luck. Oz is another player that proves PvP is not about luck. | ||

He won an entire tournament on the back of his PvP. Like any Protoss he also has lost plenty PvP's but seen as he won Homestory Cup and MLG Orlando almost entirely on the back of his PvP he's clearly good at it. | ||

Elfi got the advantage to be able to do that by playing slightly greedier without scouting though. That's not necessarily a better decision, that's what makes PvP coinflippy. You can't scout your opponent and react, you just execute your build and hope yours is superior. | ||

Everyone knows PvP has the greatest luck factor. It also happens to be the matchup with the highest amount of foreigner upsets. Wonder if thats a coincidence.. | ||

Elfi also isn't expected to win. He can lose in the group stages here (just like he does at most LAN's) and no one cares. Where as MC has to win because he's MC. So Elfi takes a lot of risks because he has nothing to lose. | ||

PvP is the matchup that has the greatest element of luck involved. It doesn't mean that there isn't skill involved. It's like poker. | ||

Do stuff the opponent can't understand. Lots of bw a teamers fell for that against no names playing something that was just bad decision making, was really funny. I love the protoss group, so many different pvp styles clashing together its really entertaining. And i watched bw zvz when it was muta vs muta into gg. | ||
