Parting, Squirtle, MC, Oz, Genius? I can dream haha. Does anyone ever wonder what the metagame will look like in a few years time as 'the past'? I wonder whether the early GSL seasons will be looked at as "the period of the 3 kings" with Nestea, MVP and MC? | ||

I wonder whether the early GSL seasons will be looked at as "the period of the 3 kings" with Nestea, MVP and MC? There´s just no way to predict this. If HOTS is gonna hit, everything will be shaken apart again. There will be a new beta, units need to get balanced again. So it probably will be like early GSL all over again. This can be exciting, but also very frustrating to watch. I for one think that it´s good, because there are too many units in SC2 right now that don´t make any sense and don´t help the game at all. | ||

And its FAR to early to say anything about 5 dragons etc, atm the only 1 of those players to dominate for even more than a month or two is mc | ||

Uhh i'm more than 100% sure ... sC was eliminated by DRG, Bomber by Curious also Oz and Brown were eliminated by a terran. You also state it "due to TvPs" what like they all deserved to move on until they had to play a protoss then their hopes were crushed?? | ||

It´s pretty sad watching him play, his great micro and macro abilities going completely to waste here. He could do a lot better A good way of putting it. He has shown some excellent play when going for the longer macro game (vs Parting game 1, or game 1 vs Leenock last season being a couple of examples), his micro/control is top notch more often than not. Was expecting a few timing pushes today, but I thought it'd be less marine based. His map choices seemed abit odd aswell, especially dual sight. The few games of his I've seen on dual sight have been Fin trying an all in that gets decimated. He's shown a few cool timings on Metropolis, and is pretty solid on Antiga. But yeah you are right, it does feel like his playing ability is going to waste when he does those 5rax MM timings that end up turning into all ins. Seems Forgg wants to end games before storm is out (well it felt like that from my end after game 1 vs Parting). | ||

Yup, Bomber & sC fell victim to TvZ, and Jjakji/GanZi/Nada/Keen were all in PartinG's groups, so his argument is partially wrong, and partially irrelevant. | ||

Here I feel like when a terran win he always deserved it, but when it's a protoss it's like, "well there is no way terrans can win over OP protoss", even if the terrans are still doing overall better than any other races in competitions. When it's a toss who lose, most of the time it's the player who screwed, and most of the protoss supporters here don't even complain about that. But man, at the very very least, stop whining whereas terrans are still favored in stats. I remember back when the win rate for terran was about 10 points higher in TvP than it is now and people were calling TvP "the most balanced mu in all of sc2" Pre the short 1-1-1 era that was all your heard from people when they talked about balanced. TvZ hadnt settled yet ZvP was going thru dramatic swings but TvP was the balanced mu. When the win rate is worse for protoss and its considered balanced by even protoss than that shows how little the statistics matter. | ||

Terran just has so many little things that benefit a lot from good micro, while protoss is largely a 1a race, same as zerg, you cant micro zealots like you can bio | ||
