He has hardly won anything despite playing forever. It's a wonder he's still around, he's just not a good player.

Sorry didn't catch what you have won?


I haven't been an SC2 progamer for 2+ years.

Most people who have haven't even won anything "big" yet. Quit the hate.

Now, I say GLaDe wins but people in this thread have been telling me that sLivko is like, this fucking titan who owns everyone when he plays his best. I guess we'll have to see.


slivko has pretty good zvz, i think hes the favorite in this one.

Elfi just won the Absolute Arena. What have Squirtle or Oz won?


2nd place at ipl and GSL for squirtle, oz hasnt done anything for a while but both are 10x better than elfi


2nd place isn't winning. Any real proof they're better than Elfi other than "they're korean"?

What is an absolute arena? Never heard of it...

Edit: So he won a european event where the three best (well 2 best... Naniwa has been in a slump lately) european players werent attending? Meh...

Oz I think is pretty overrated but Squirtle got second at IPL and GSL.. either one is more than Elfi has accomplished in his career. Though I dont mind Elfi personally, I dont see why he has so many haters but hes definitely not in the same league as squirtle.

it's like you've never seen elfi play before


I think people are upset because they've seen elfi play the exact same 4gate and 1 colossus pushes far too many times.

At one point it just gets boring.

Mind you, Elfi played well and Grubby should have seen it coming. I still think that Grubby is the better rounded player. Grubby has a chance against good Z and T, Elfi doesn't.

It's more on how Elfi had no micro at all in that last 4gate and Grubby held on as long as he did with great micro.
Nothing do do with crybaby's players like to see the fighting trying player win.

He picked the wrong build against Elfi though lol
And going the same build twice is risky

2nd place vs hard opponents = cash and money and skill.

Elfi gets hate because "had no micro at all".

So many people seem butthurt by the fact that Elfi won with a 4gate. 4gate s a valid strat in PvP, and on a map with a tiny ramp its grubbys fault that he lets elfi pull it off.


it's not quite that but rather the fact that Elfi all-in'd 3 games in a row.

Grubby's miraclious micro in g3 doesn't help either

Are you honestly claiming GSL code S finalist is less impressive than winning a $1,000 tournament that no one has ever heard of?

So uh, if Elfi is so predictable and only all-ins every game, why doesn't his opponents defend and get free wins? Does Elfi have so superior micro and mechanics that he wins regardless? Or is it possible that he chooses his builds like everyone else.

Ignore the obvious fanboyism....There was great micro on both sides LOL, it just so happens that Grubby was the one who had to do all the immortal and probe micro because he was the one at a disadvantage, whereas Elfi went around and sniped probes and tried to sandwich

All true, Elfi deserves credit on that and that's PvP Does not change the end result though and that was amazing play from Grubby. Hence you hope he's defending it. Only to dissipointed he's never going to be able to win. People react frustrated after it.
