by outplaying him like he just did with hero game 2? :D
Lol, if you think that was "outplay" rather than a massive gamble you need to take off your biased goggles.
Shiori, I normally agree with you, but a hidden CC is a good plan against protoss. Most standard builds are so thin on units and rely on turtling, sneaking in a CC isn't bad if you plan to deal with it once it is found.
Losing is getting outplayed.
I didn't say it was a bad idea. I said it's basically a build order win. I mean, yes, Naama obviously deserved to win the game, but there wasn't any showcase of immense skill to "shut up the haters" or whatever.
I don't really judge skill based on my opinion of a paticular build. As far as we know, Naama watched 20 of Hero's games on this map and knew that he never scouted that location. People downplay the thought that may go into those sorts of risks and just assume that it is a thoughtless "Well, this will either win or it won't".
No one ever downlplays a players skill when a poker player is bluffing, or a football team for doing a pass fake. I get tried of it in SC2.
But the proof will be if Naama can follow it up and win the set.
Maybe it's just me, but I find Naama's tactical genius difficult to maintain in light of how weirdly poorly he engaged that Chargelot/Archon force.
Naama is a foreign player, not even top 10 Id guess, going against a Code S player. What are you expecting?
For him to absolutely smash Hero in game 2 is impressive. The fact that he did it with a probably pre-thought strategy is something people can appreciate, what's difficult to understand?
