Great hold by Major. Is he a new hope for foreign Terrans? Weeell, Artosis got him in a korean team practice regimen like 8 months ago, and even way before that Artosis had an eye for this guy. He really has himself to blame, apparently being a bit unruly and getting kicked out of teams and consequently not invited to many tournaments. But yeah, he's damn good.
I think he has matured alot during his stay in Korea. I sure hope so at least. Would be sad if he stayed low profile for so long during his time in Korea to fuck up things again like he have done before.

It is weird to count select imo... He lived and was raised in Korea until he was 18, only last years he lived in NA. With this kind of logic is Jinro Korean. It depends on who you ask. Some people would count Jinro as korean now. When mana was asked if Bling was a top 5 protoss in EU and they listed them, they were asked why they didnt include Sase and Naniwa and Mana said it's because he considers them Koreans since they train in Korea. (said this during HSC) Oh please. Select plays with a Korean flag, hes Korean. He plays under the american flag, actually... http://www.teamliquid.net/tournaments/admin/?action=bracket&id=3251. Exactly. I really don't understand how this keeps coming up. It's really fucking simple: IT'S THEIR CHOICE. HuK (As an example) is a dual citizen of the States and Canada, he chooses to play under the Canadian flag and we love him for it. (Though we'd love him either way). If he wanted to play under a Korean flag because he trained there that would be fine! I mean, it'd be a bit strange, like Lance Armstrong Biking under a swiss flag because he trained in the Alps, but it would be acceptable. This is e-sports. It's a global game and where you're born, shouldn't be the deciding factor in who you play for. Didnt know you play for a country in sc2. Thought you play for yourself or for a team. And really, these flags next to the names there dont say much. Not all of the players living in Germany that have a German flag next to their name are actually German.
You clearly missed the point. It doesn't matter if they're German. If they wish to represent Germany when the question comes up then let them.

So much good players missing for this TSL :/ who as far as EU/NA is concerned? Stephano and ? HuK, Grubby, Dimaga, Lucifronn, Socke, Sheth, Morrow for example. Huk, Morrow and Grubby are only hype and doesn't deserve a spot either for their play or their results lately, and you can in a certain extent say the same for Sheth and Dimaga. It's unfortunate for Lucifron and Socke but still they're not so much better than most of the ppl who qualified. I was going to quote your last post and say this is where I list good players and you say how bad/overrated they are. I gave you the benefit of the doubt though... Ignoring all the rest of things that you're wrong about. Saying Huk is all hype is absurd. Pretty sure he has more accomplishments in major tournaments than any other foreigner.
What's are huk accomplishment in 2012? and Naniwa has a better record than him now I think. (highly subjective too)
In order to qualify for the TSL4 you either had to be extremely good at TSL3 or really good right now. Not a year ago.

Major was so brilliant to pull those SCVs. He had a temporary advantage in army size due to killing a bunch of units in small drop engagements, but also saw storm and a third base. If Major tried to take a third base of his own and tech to ghosts, he'd lose his ability to get aggressive, and essentially commit to playing from behind for the rest of the game. By pulling all of his SCVs, he was capitalizing on his temporary advantage, really his best chance to win the game. That was very impressive.

Fraer managing to lose from a seemingly unlosable position through a series of colossal screwups.
|
I can't believe MajOr won this game, holy shit, impressive play by him.
|
A little bit sad by fraer.
|
How can he lose this ? Storming scvs is not a good idea ^^
|
MajOr is a dark personnality, but his raw skill is just unbelievable
