Oh trust me, I think Blizzard deserves to be boo'd on stage. They've done the bare minimum to help SC2 grow . . . I just didn't expect the entire crowd at IPL to feel the same

I think you misunderstand my post...i was lamenting that Stephano lucked out and gets to play the 1 first seed thats bad against zerg 1 in 3 chance. What isn't Bomber extremely good at TvZ.. I just checked TLPD he has 78% winrate. TLPD is misleading, because you can win a lot against bad players. Also if you watched Bomber play against Idra and saw how close the games were, it was really bad. TvZ is centered around the Terran's control, and Bomber's v Z control is not top notch relative to the other Koreans in the tournament. MMA, MKP, Jjakji, Polt, and Alive all have better v Z control.
plus that's international win rate which doesnt mean anything compared to kr.

If it's marine/tank vs marine/tank then I think it goes to Polt, imo.
Polt's TvT has been a tad shaky of late though, he lost a game of rine tank to PuMa, I really think he's top 3 rine tank in the world too, but aLive is really, really fucking good.

I just got home and both streams are not showing anything?!

Lani is the best/worst thing ever and she's got better and worse since her last outing at IPL3.
Talking to Catz about Band of Brothers (which he says he's never seen) to mention the scene where Blyde gets told to be a good solider he has to believe he's already dead as an analogy to Catz saying he never gets nervous before a game. Brilliant.

So Nestea might have a hard time.
Alive and Bomber don't have as good TvZ as Ganzi. I'd argue Polt doesn't either.

yeah, it's finished for the day.
GSTL finals soon

Were any of Polts games streamed today? He's my favorite Terran to watch now that MVP is off form.

The GSTL thread is pretty fancy, seems like it would be a shame to not use it.

MKP - Polt finals.
They have yet to officially meet. Former teammates, current Terran Gods. It's got to happen. I can set up some more mythological proportions but fuck it, I just want to see some tip-top play between hyped players.

But in all fairness I doubt IPL is intentionally giving stephano an easy road.
You would be surprised tbh. Stephano is the last foreigner remaining, the further he goes, the better it is for views. Along with that the more views, the more money they rake in. I actually know of one tournament (because i know the people) that gave Stephano an easier road to get views.

Mvp lost his wrists, not his fault. He'll be back like Flash post-op.

Bomber has won loads of vZ vs foreigners, he's not completely terrible vZ, but not on Jjakji, MMA, etc's level.
|
Everybody meet back up in one hour in GSTL thread! lol
|
I wonder if the fact that just about 80% of top Korean terrans have TvZ as their best match-up is a reflection of a skewed balance in the match-up.
