EG.Incontrol, 2010 He was right, what is your problem? Haven't you seen MC play in 2010-early 2011? Or do you expect incontrol to predict a player's change of style? He was wrong, since MC has always been risky and yet continues to succeed. He had a slump but he recovered nicely and has continued to be an extremely dangerous player who can never be counted out. He's also still the only protoss to win anything. Agreed, the best of the best have their ups and their downs. I see EG.iNcontroL has been doing remarkably well in tournament play...(That's not to say I don't like him in SoTG nor in casts)... are you really bringing something up what someone said nearly 2 years ago? really? ....that low? Should every person criticize you for everything you ever said in the past that turned out wrong? And why are you not complaining about Nony? he was the guy who said that about MC, Incontrol just agreed to it.
I never even said that. In a way, I did. Like the way that you'd say a guy who has five apples has one apple. I think that's a pretty stupid way.

GSL is the hardest tournament in the world by a pretty decent margin.

He said everything, not GSL.

MC will add another championship this GSL anyways and lead the Protoss revolution! Huk will win NASL and Canadian WCS and Mana will build a house of champions in Korea!

I missed the games today but I wanted to come in here and tell everyone that Seed's victory over Symbol is not as big an upset as everyone is making it out to be. Seed is one of the most intelligent players in the game today, he had plenty time to prepare and he had a best of 5 to work with (longer series work better with methodical appraoches).
2 for 2 on the dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Symbol ended up destroying himself though unless if thats what seed counted on
Care to explain this?
I watched the VODS and spoke to my brother (who was there in person) and quite frankly all i took from it was an iron resolve to comeback and BALLS OF STEEL.

why is byun so hyped... You ever watched him play? He's the smarter less gimmicky version of MKP I recall him having very weak splits against Coca and in his streamed games. That aside, Byun is a smart player, and he's a good player, but he's a Terran. Even before the last patch, he hadn't beaten a decent Zerg in a long time. Byun is going to be absolutely destroyed by Nestea.
that's because he hasn't really played a zerg in forever due to suspension lol

The player who revolutionized all three TvX matchups multiple times, has probably the most builds out of anyone and is far more accomplished than Byun. He's a good player - but there's nothing he's better than MKP at(ok maybe mech tvt).

Agree with you Ancient Hunter that it just looked like Seed was on a mission.

Oh yeah, Seed was definitely determined, but after game 4 you could see the desperation on Symbol's face.

Symbol was eager to win the game it after going up 2-0.
His nerves caught up to him.Him being so aggressive with roach/hydra on game 3 and his stubbornness to transition quickly after his roach drop fail to do much damage.He deflected Seed stargate play well but got too eager and went mass hydras and try to put out damage but failed.Had he just macro back and take 4th and transition.Games would have turned out differently.
Symbol killed himself basically.You could see his face after he lost Game 4.He really was desperate.
He lost this more than Seed won it.
Though you gonna give plenty of credits to Seed though,down 0-2 and able to adapt to the situation well by deflecting Symbol hydra play on Game 3 and defending his roach drops in Game 4 and completely denying Symbol all-in perfectly in Game 5.Especially being down 0-2, but then when he was down 0-2 and Symbol was up 2-0.Symbol look way more nervous and Seed look calm and steady eventhough being down 0-2.Probably got some good advice from his Coach and Nestea.
Seed had the better concentration overall and adapted well to Symbol play and won.
