Virus really has poor multitasking. That's why he will always remain a random Terran in my heart.

It is probably one of the worst SC2 names around, if not flat out THE worst.

Susoshin was bad too (whatever Line renamed himself to).

Any others?

After his pick in the group nominations and his performance today, Genius.

Well Naniwa is so lucky with his free code S spot. He couldnt even get through code A a couple of times. And even now it maybe be even difficult. I really hope he doesnt win GSL. Cause he doesnt deserve it because of the invite. You should fight your way into code S. The same for all those guys who got in through MLG. They were very lucky. The easiest way to get back.

Wel gl in round of 8. Hope you win. Cause my predications never come true.

It'd be interesting to see a battlecruiser switch in that situation (maxed terran with heaps of resources). Supernova did really well but his army always seemed much weaker than it should be given his huge advantage... in the TvP matchup you just max on bio, there's no real high tech units (besides a few ghosts) that you mix in to make it really dangerous. It was always a danger that genius would kill supernova's relatively weak army at some point and roll him before he could reinforce.


Terrible idea, by the time you max with BCs the Toss would have had ample time to scout the switch and prepare an ample defense, + all the extra burst and firepower of BCs is negated by feedback, which also rapes a big chunk of a BCs HP, you'd have to EMP your own BCs, in which case again you can't benefit from having Yamato.

Anyway, if someone would have told me last season, that Genius would lose a long macro game to a Terran, on Daybreak, and more specifically to Supernova, I'd have laughed in the guys face.

In TvT there have been late game BC switches which have gone completely unscouted (cf virus vs supernova today), no reason why you couldn't also catch a P off guard. Especially since the standard game is to just make bio all game, there would ordinarily be no reason to scout the terran's base. Also re: high templar, that turns into a micro battle where the terran wants to get yamatos off before he gets fedback.


Absolutely irrelevant, Virus was already ahead and containing Supernova, additionally Supernova threw away a huge chunk of his Viking fleet.
Additionally protoss has more persistent and harder to stop scouting via obs.

Edit: There is a reason why BCs and Carrier games are the exception, not the rule.

There was time hardly anyone used infestors at all, let alone zvp. After months and months struggling with roach hydra corrupter, pros finally realised they could be good (after being shown how by the likes of destiny). (And then infestors were so good vs p that blizzard nerfed the fuck out of them.) Back when they were roach hydraing i'm sure people suggested infestors, and they would have said something along the lines of "oh but the protoss can just build high templar, there's no point". Shouldn't diss a strat till it's been properly tried.


Your post again misses the point. Infestors where always good, we all always knew they where good, but they just weren't used. Infestors build relatively fast, come with enough energy to use a spell from the get go (especially with Pathogen glands), and they complement almost any zerg composition, you don't need to go out of your way to get them, in fact they are in the middle of a logical tech path to Hive. And this was way back when people where still learning the game and exploring.

BCs, build slowly, cost a mountain of resources to build, don't fit into many compositions, are easy to scout and prepare for, can't use their special ability, you need to go out of your way to get them, can be countered hard by HT, Stalkers, Archons and VR.

Even if they did fit in a unit comp, they still build so slow that you have ample time to prepare for them, especially if he uses 1-2 from the get go and doesn't allow the numbers to build. In the current meta-game they are just useless.

Lastly the meta-game now is much, much, much more stable and figured out now, notice how very, very very few brand new unit comps, styles or strategies pop up.

Virus' name really doesn't belong together with the top 8 players in the world. But then for some reason a lot of the really good players aren't advancing.
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

Good thing that you don't make the rules, because you don't have a clue.
GOM makes the rules, GOM makes the tournament, GOM decides who may participate.
Naniwa got in through the same ruleset as anyone else and is just as worthy as anyone else.
