I really like this tournament, but a 16 man invitational is not a major, sorry Day[9]. I'm not even sure if MLG Arena's are majors.


with this kind of prize pool and the quality of players makes it a major


pure invitationals will never be major tournaments in my book, but mlg arena's definitely are, with open qualifiers, one per region, with the qualified players even been flown to the live event. if you are in an arena, then it's not because you are popular or because your team have enough funds to fly you there, it is because you earned it!

Stephano is a warrior at these weekend tournaments, we haven't seen how well he'll do with days of preparation per match. While I don't doubt he could make it far, he's extremely stylistic. With a week of preparation any player in Code S could easily take him out.


Stephano are the most studied player in the korean scene for like 6 months and they still cant take him out.


This is an excellent point. Stephano is so well studied on the Korean scene that he almost single handedly made a lot of zergs switch to upgraded ling - infestor builds. Even Jaedong has come out and said Stephano is the player he wants to play like. You can make the case (and I firmly believe) that Stephano is the most talented player in SC2 given his spectacular results and light practice schedule. I'm predicting no one is "figuring out" Stephano any time soon.

A lot of people seem to still think that Stephano only plays ~4 hours a day but that was when he was also going to school. Since he's been playing full-time he's practising a lot more.

Yeah, Cloud said that he practices the most out of allmost all the EU pros.


Because EU pros minus Naniwa and Grubby barely practice at all.

Also true :{

Kas

Well yes, of course bar Kas, and some others. But in general EU pros seem to be kinda lazy, and it doesn't help that a lot of them still go to school.


Thats the thing, a lot of (I would even say most of) EU pros are not really pros, cause they are studying while playing.

sadly these units are only a reflex of the unit they once were. Not to admit that their cost on minerals is extremely high. also I would like to know if you are informed about metagame. When did you saw recently people using more than 10 ghosts? That would be 1000 gas, Illusion would have still 3k. Another pair of things would be if ghosts costed 100\200 , but things changed, and it ain't like that anymore.


You're right. Ghost academies, nukes (personal cloak and reactor) and even possibly getting the final air upgrades.

Obviously, I'm not a Terran pro player - and 4k is alot. But I think a good player (who wasn't stressed by his opponent) could dump at least half of it into useful stuff

Are you kidding me?


Am I? The bulk of EU pros don't play a lot of games / day. I see their match lists and at times it's nothing, at other times its 5-10 games a day, which is nothing.

Because they all have only 1 bnet account.


Do you see a lot of unknown GM accounts around? Because I don't. They have to be actively hiding - ie playing hundreds of custom games on an anonymous account - for people to miss them practicing hard. Me, I think they barely practice. It shows in their play.

Morrow uses Ghost all the time.

And i'm not saying 10, that takes a lot of barracks but building ghost, researching cloak and making nukes is a good way to spend gas against the broodlord-infestor death ball.

Go to any GM ladder (NA/EU/Korean) and look for people named ||||||||| or such.... There's tons of them. And another ton who's got fun/weird smurf names. So yeah, I see them - you don't
