Yeah, I really want to see Bomber vs. Parting one day ... and not in the group stage of GSL or something like that. Maybe in a finals. :3c

If only protoss had arbiters... when mother ship dies, it should spawn into 3 aribters looking at you HotS Hots should just have lurkers and arbiters...
I second that notion

Squirtle hasn't lost yet.... And he still has the BossToss in the way.
Considering hes a PvP god, its probably better for MC if he faces bomber in the finals.

With post #1000 (^_^) Gratz
I would be terrified of lurkers. Depending on their range and if they were still morphed from hydras they would just be ripped even harder by colossuses.

Bomber did 2-1 MC in pool play. Either way it should be a good finals.

Tournaments like this are so much different than GSL because no one is preparing for Stephano.
I really think he competed in the GSL he would be demolished down to Code B almost immediately. Making comments like that is pretty ignorant.

Stephano will get crushed. The only foreigners who could compete are Thorzain and Naniwa. Why is Stephano getting this kind of treatment after 2-0 Parting and 2-3 MC. Because people are stupid as hell. :/ Because every foreigner gets this treatment, and rightfully so. The GSL is the toughest tournament in the world, and until you've seen how someone performs over there you can't say for sure how they'll measure up. Naniwa went through this plenty. Why is Stephano any different? Nani of course went on to - eventually - prove himself in the GSL after a few embarassments. Stephano might well perform better than Nani. But we don't know. and maybe koreans are favourised beacause they play on their own soil, just maybe.... Yes, like NA players at MLG lol
lol possibly the best quote of the thread xD

If my squirtle is anything like SC2's, I don't think I want him. I need a champion pokemon.
SNAP
Edit: Damn my word choice, now pokemon snap entered my mind.
ahhh... memories.

Why Squirtle decided moving his WHOLE ARMY to the watchtower was a good idea, I don't know.
I've also found myself watching the whole tournament mostly muted (except the Husky solo cast, funnily enough). I honestly prefer casters to just do play-by-play with random tangents if they don't know their shit, because there's nothing more annoying than false hype and over-exaggeration of irrelevant crap. At this point, I prefer TB to Day9, at least the former doesn't pretend to know stuff.

Nah, bro... In any of the original (blue/red/yellow) you should go catch a Nidoran and level it. It will get double kick, which is super effective against rock. And with horn attack and upgrades to Nidorino and Nidoking (available from moonstone) I actually think it's a funnier alternative - and it's really strong

He plays on the knife's edge of insanity. His inconsistency makes him fun to watch, too. You're not like, "Oh, MVP'll win as always," but you're always on the edge of your seat, waiting to see if Bomber drops the ball.

Wow, Bomber is destroying Squirtle, a Protoss who has an extremely high PvT win rate. I did not see this coming.
tbh PvT is the only slightly vulnerable matchup of Squirtle.
He just seems to have a bit of troubles against Macro heavy Terrans such as Bomber, MVP and aLive.
Wouldnt really call that an upset, tho I had some money on Squirtle. Bomber just knows him very very well, afterall they practice together since ages now.

You think Day9 doesn't know what he's talking about while analyzing?

Shouldn't have been an issue for him this tournament. He was spending plenty of time before at the EG lair.
