Indeed. He is better than many, and it is astonishing what he makes out of the mechanics he has. And isnt that what starcraft is about for all of us, be the best player you can be? Guess some people just want him to roll over and die because his mechaincs are not good. | ||

Warpgate technology is a crap addition to the game I think PvP is still fun to watch, I think you just do not appreciate the intense micro and mindgames going on =) What Grubby showed in that last game was amazing, would have been extra sick if he turned that game around of course but still amazing. PvP isn't as bad as people make you believe. Grubby just made mistakes and lost because of it. He had the 2nd game in his pocket, and you basically should not lose to a 4 gate rush in the 3rd game like that. I wonder if a Stalker would have been better instead of 2x Zealot to snipe some of the Probes for example. | ||

True, but people generally don't like Elfi for being one of the biggest one-trick ponies in the game. When you see a player with very varied playstyles do an allin every once in a while, it's interesting and fun to watch. Guys like BitByBit (the worst offender) and Elfi in a less extreme way just aren't as fun to watch because 99 out of 100 games, Elfi will 1base PvP. | ||

I mean cheese or not you play to win.

Just a lot of macro. It's usually fine for him since he can overpower his opponent with his econ., but he always falters to well thought-out all-ins or more mindgamey/metagamey play. The problem was not all-in or not, it was just the loss of the two full medivacs. He would have been fine had he not lost these medics. It was metropolis and daybreak though, the hardest TvZ maps (+ the super big map atlantis spaceship but not sure if they use it in foreign tourneys) | ||
