His good at doing one thing it a high level. That makes him very good at that one thing, but it also makes him very predictable, so I don't really fancy his chances Shame, if he learnt a few more styles he's be great with his control. But he sticks to the one side he believe in. | ||

Nah, since he got second at the TaKeTV Reloaded Invitational and afaik Stephano isn't going to Homestory Cup V, Kas should have a spot and paid trip secure, shouldn't he? I think I remember Take confirming this some time ago, but I might be wrong and they resolved it differently. | ||

But he sticks to the one side he believe in. Sorry but i don't agree. He was one of the first players to popularize mass ghosts in late game (I think he is one of the main responsibles for the nerf). I've seen him doing hellion drops, marauder-hellion push, blue flame to cloak banshee before many of these strategies became mainstream. Have you seen Happy's mass Raven versus Protoss? Many pros look up to Happy and study him (DeMuslim for example). Unfortunately he doesn't seem to perform at his best in live events. Too much pressure maybe? | ||

Preeeeeety sure Thorzain started the mass ghost aspect in late game... And lol at you thinking it was happy that was one of the main reasons behind the nerf...he's performed awfully in serious LAN events and there's other people who made it look a lot worse....like MVP? I'm sorry but it's a well known fact that his strats are very very one-dimensional. His openings may vary, but his overall composition in the mid to late game doesn't change. And people exploit the hell out of it. | ||

You should watch some more games of him, he may not have performed in many offline events, but he is a really, really strong player, even if you don't like his playstyle. And he pulls some incredibly sexy moves sometimes. He's very much so one of the biggest reasons European Protoss players still fear ghosts. :D | ||

I was kinda kidding. Of couse that I don't think it was only because of him. But during that time he was making European Zergs rage in the late game.

I understand what you're saying, but notice that mid to late game terran compositions don't vary that much.  Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that he's super talented, an even if he's very one-dimensional like you say, he's still skilled enough to crush people on ladder. That's why I'm saying that his dissapointing results in LANs must be due to problems dealing with pressure or something like that. | ||

Anyone who knows me knows how much I detest players who do the same strat throughout the game. happy falls under that category. ALL he does is marine/tank in TvT and TvZ. If he's change recently then i stand corrected, but that's how i see him Does he mech? Does he go MMM balls? SK Terran with Ravens? Nope, marine/tank...then marine/tank then maybe marine/tank | ||

Nope, marine/tank...then marine/tank then maybe marine/tank His TvT is more tank/marine than marine/tank, it's so much more tank-heavy than usual marine/tank. It's a bit of a weird style to play and Thorzain was quoted saying that he hates to play Happy and no one else plays the way he does. But yeah, he doesn't have the biggest variety in his playstyle. | ||

Nope, marine/tank...then marine/tank then maybe marine/tank IMO his mechanics were pretty bad tbh. He'd always get supply blocked and he'd often be way behind in supply a lot of the time for no reason. I agree that he's a fairly robotic player too. Lately i've been watching him and he seems to be playing really well though, seems to have cleaned it up quite a lot. I still hope he can have a good tourney run sometime soon! | ||
