After game 1 I guess you spoke too soon? -_-... He did quiet well.


I didn't see anything that impressive to speak of. Was just a standard ZvT where Roof was able to use the power of good engagements and win with Hive tech. Nothing new to speak of.


ye next time i see idra beating a korean Terran i will say the same... oh wait... never gonna happen.

foreigner beating a Korean T means something, every fucking time.

Actually, TLO beat Rain in NASL S3

not really. he took massive damage from 2 banshees, couldnt handle drops, got 1 half-decent engagement in the midgame, and then a-moved infestor/BL to victory.

nothing particularly impressive about that. if anything, just showing that he can win without any multitasking.

He came back from a terrible position by engaging really well every time. Quite impressive imo.

1 good engagement. Not every time. 1 good engagement. Every other engagement was either a walkover or he lost.


No, he actually engaged quite well over and over again. Was very cost-efficient with the muta/ling/bling vs marine/tank wars, which allowed him to get to BLs safely and stay ahead of Rain -_-

I thought balance whining wasn't allowed in LR threads anyway.

On another note I really like the analysis after the game, although I am not too too interested, but I think it will help some people. From a TV perspective the guy on the left from Complexity needs to talk to the audience and not to Mr. Bitter, it gets annoying.


Well it isn't. Doesn't stop it from happening though.

He didn't give me much hope in game 1 did he?
Hindsight is such a great skill to have isn't it?


Judging a player by 1 game is terrible by you, nothing else. I could pick ANY progamer apart judging just by 1 game.

It's not like he did anything super impressive. Got the eco lead despite the excellent banshee harass, traded better than his T opponent, teched up to Ultras, switched to BLs to punish the excess marauders. Standard ZvT.


So from "how did he qualify" implying that noname Newbie did somehow got lucky in the brackets can now play standard ZvT on decent to pro level? Sorry man, not want to make you look like an idiot, you did that to yourself.

I saw games from MKP, MVP, NesTea, Naniwa, IdrA, ret, ThorZaIN and plenty of established pros in which they looked like a complete retard, sometimes your game is off. What matters is the result. Roof didn't do wonders, nothing amazing, plain standard... and exactly that is what is impressive as well. Completely standard game and he won against a good Korean Terran. Not a star, but certainly very good.

I'm sorry if he gave me a shitty first impression. And you're implying that I was calling him a no-name newb. I DID watch all of the TSL4 qualis you know.

First time turning on MLg today, it's 9 seconds into Roof vs Rain, 1-1. I say to myself "I bet he's going to bunker rush because that's all he knows how to do"

Sure enough, he does.

The question on everyone's mind: is Stephano hungover?
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
