to be fair he's said some things, like during WCS a few days ago for example, but he's not on Nani level

Dat charge snipe was disgusting

Kas is gonna hit his 2/2/1 timing like a boss and probably win.
I'm happy I saw this game, I was struggling to hold a 8:30 roach bane bust with that build

They are still strong I guess. Can't say how it would have went if Kas is in good condition. Could be the same, but I for mypart do also think it was Kas' lack of sleep. Just that some of us don't blame Suppy for winning. Not his fault Kas was tired. "Zombie" Kas has now taken two games off Ret, a player whose generally considered a better player than Suppy atm. S'all I'm saying Ret is considered a better player than Suppy? Not by me at least but whatever you say... Ret totally blew that last game though, he knew it was 2rax in the mid. I facepalmed when I saw him making 6 drones at once. As I pointed out earlier, Kas could have killed him even earlier. I don't get why he'd do that. Ret could have overkilled lings to kill that allin and THEN went full drones and he'd have been way ahead anyway, why doesn't he understand you don't need 60 drones vs 20 SCVs, having 40 drones vs 20 SCVs is just fine if it guarantees you don't die.

stay classy Implying being 16 is a disadvantage? I'd say that's the best age for a player seems likely as i cant think of a single player whos ever peaked at 16 I think in theory its best age because your brain is at his peak aswell as physically, BUT at 16 you have school and in generell not so much time to play( parents etc.) Physical peak is late 20s, and mental peak generally is mid 20s, even though some other functions like spatial reasoning peaks in your late 50s. The reason you see teenagers doing so well is because they have less priorities and responsibilities. As much as we might like to say that gaming is mainstream, it really isn't, at least not yet. Many people lose their passion also the more they play the game. Just look at NaDa. His abilities didn't decline because of some physical or mental diminishing, but because his priorities shifted. Let's also not forget the fact that Korean gamers are interrupted for years in the early 20s due to conscription. I think it's a bit silly to say that playing Starcraft is more physically or mentally demanding than say, Nolan Ryan pitching at age 43. If major league baseball players can still be on the top of the world in their late 30s in such a demanding sport, what makes you think that humans can't play starcraft in their early and mid twenties at the top of the game? You have good insight. Playing video game is not nearly as demanding physically. I wouldn't be surprised 60 years old winning GSL if he/she has a chance and dedication to do so. Often times, people start to play games in teenage years. Therefore, it is only natural that some talents come up from those age bracket. When e-sports grow bigger and pro gamer career is taken more seriously by societies, then we might see more older age champions. For now, being younger is an advantage. Some say you have school, but if you start to work, school responsibility is such a joke compared to working responsibility. Maybe some youngsters don't understand that. I certainly didn't back then to be fair. Videogames really rely on your cognitive abilities, your reaction times and whatnot that decline relatively quickly. Plus only the young tend to have sufficient time to dedicate to playing full time which is probably part of it. Please don't tell me you are saying that playing starcraft is harder than trying to hit a 98MPH fastball, or a 87MPH Circle-Change coming from someone like Roy Halladay...As someone who extensively played RTS and Baseball for most of my life, I can definitely say, that playing baseball is much more demanding both physically and mentally, and the sport isn't dominated by 18-21 y/o's. Indeed, most don't peak until their late 20s or early 30s. There's a reason for this. You realize SC2 was released in 2010? When do you think the early 30s basketballer started playing basketball? At the age of 29? Not a chance. what? so you think that suppy is better than ret? I personally don't really like ret's playstyle but he has won international tournaments and done really well in many others but suppy doesn't have any accomplishments whatsoever (no doing decently in WCS usa doesn't count as an achievent... not even close to an achievement you could compare to some of ret's) strange point of view
Whoever wins today is better. Whatever they achieved in the past means nothing.

Why isn't he given any advantage over his opponent? This is the most stupid bracket system im seen so far. Satiini vs MaNa 3-2 ForGG vs jonnyrecco 3-2 ForGG vs Satiini 3-1 - Winners final, forGG advances MaNa vs Jonnyrecco 3-0 - jonnyrecco out MaNa vs Satiini - Losers final, winners advance. I know the GSL/winners format. But i think its stupid to copy it over to these tournaments aswell. Basically Mana gets free chance to beat his opponent again... Well.. its not up to me or us to decide, but i don't see the point of copying the format of overseas.
hes got 2 chances to advance while satiini only gets one.

Actually first OSL i watched was EVER 07 (;
I just wondered why did they copy the winners format. I explained it a bit wrong though.

Lose 3-0, play a second game 0-3 in a best of 13 although both players are 1-1. It's like you conveniently ignore the fact that Mana won his second game while Satiini lost his.
It's like you don't get sarcasm.

Btw its the most amazing bracket system. Bo5 just makes it better.
Why would you give him any advantage ? They both lost one set, they both lost one. It's even. Who care who they have lost to ? Are you the kind of person who support extended series in MLG ?
I'm pretty sad about Ret/Kas. It's breaking my heart. I don't think Suppy is nowhere as experimented as one of these players. I'm pretty sure he will get crush next round. That's so sad Ret ZvZ is that much greedy, he has such a better macro, a better multitasking, and such a bad decision making.
And Kas ... well, i can't blame him if he didnt sleep enough. Sad tho.

He's been pretty chilled whenever I met him, if anything he has that air of awkward humility about him
When he used to stream a lot he kept saying he how much he sucked and how much more practice he needed  .
