Violet desperately needs a 4th base up and running - especially on the gas

great game. not perfect, not extremely skilled, but entertaining. goes to show you can't make 36 mutas against their intended counter and win.
There is no such thing is "e-sports". There is Brood War, and then there is crap for nerds.

Elfi. That's that.

That is not dominant.


Yeah, almost a 70% winrate in PvP is not dominant at all. Do you even read the shit you're posting?


Apparently you don't.

Since November he's won 20 and lost 15.

That is dominant to you? That is the best PvP player in the world in your mind?

The matchup is a joke.


Good selective choice of statistics.
There are quite a few players that are very good at PvP


Choosing recent games that actually matter as opposed to games on Blistering Sands from GSL open seasons is not being selective. It's common sense.


Well lets go from halfway through last year if you want to exclude early tournaments, Oh look Elfi still has nearly 70%.

So you deliberately chose a period where Elfi had a worse record than his long term record. Do you have a defendable rationale for choosing stats since november?


I chose the period based on current balance. Taking PvP's from the time when you had increased ramp vision, when Archon's were terrible, when everyone four gated, when immortals had lower range etc.. are of no relevance at all. They are meaningless in relation to a current players skill level.



hush. baby. hush.

There there.


I don't see why you are mocking him? It is a completely different metagame nowadays and you will find almost everyone that used to be considered the best PvPers are doing quite mediocre recently. A lot of victories came from people with superior micro winning four gate wars, or busting out new build orders no one had ever seen.

Hush. baby. hush.

There there.

Not mockin no one. Just asking for some peace

action packed game versus Killer and Socke. 1:1 now


yeah was a pretty good game - though I feel Killer could have done way better.He was so far behind in upgrades even though he had an insane bank at least in the first half of the game.

He is trying to drag stalkers away from the possible 4th base, but stalkers are so many, so mobile and so deadly .

No he wasn't. It's PvP. It's just a flat out terrible matchup where anyone can win.

You know PvP is stupid and luck based because not one player in the world is dominant or even really good at PvP. Not one single player. Every Protoss player loses PvP all the time.

The patch that changes ramp vision and immortal range hits on August 24. So we set the TPLD since then aaaaand
lo and behold, Elfi still manages to keep 66% win rate.

Its kind of like he is reliably great at PvP and your argument is stupid.


And WhiteRa has a 44% overall record and just beat MC. 66% isn't reliably great, it's pretty good but it's not fantastic. MC is probably around 66% recently and he still lost to WhiteRa who lost to Elfi. Elfi is a weird player, he is pretty much an example of the randomness of PvP. Either Bitter or Rotterdam mentioned earlier that Elfi just does random fake outs into something nonsensical like a one gate expo that shouldn't work, and he still wins somehow.

IEMs map-pool ends up in killer vs socke playing on 2 P-favored maps and Antiga that may be evenly balanced, may have a small slant towards protoss. Stupido!

gg JYP over ViOlet, our foreign Koreans fought it out well. I wish ViOlet could have gotten a hold on a fourth base so he could take it to the late game.
TL Mafia. Love it. Play it. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/index.php?show_part=31 I find Kennigit really attractive. If anyone has a picture of him please feel free to PM it to me.

Elfi is definitely a weird player, but he is also great at PvP. I rest my case.

Metropolis is a great map for Socke to do exactly the same thing he did on Entombed Valley, get a 3rd quickly enough, deny aggression while doing some damage of his own with air, and also deny air dominance.
