Double elim means both players just play another bo3. Extended means, score is carried over so it is different. In this case, Leenock needs 3 more wins. | ||

Shame, but hope Leenock learned from that game and realized his mistakes. gogo~ this is leenock's fourth game of the day... while it's STC's twelfth | ||

He has a lot of experience with TvZ mech and this new&improved one is actually viable even when BL's are out, at least it seems that way so far. Before it was more like push before hive. I'm not arguing against that, I'm loving it and think it is one of MVP's genius strokes  But I also think that Z is still looking to find the best way to deal with it, hence why I originally said that it is not very well explored. | ||

For mutas to be cost effective 2.5 mutas would have to be able to beat a thor, which isn't the case. However mutas aren't meant for straight up fights anyway. They are much more mobile than thors, so it makes sense why they would lose to thors when you don't take advantage of their biggest strength. | ||

Oh, My understanding is that Leenock has only to win 3 games to advance. | ||

So your tournament with a WB/LB structure would have what advantage for the player in the WB? Put a patch on one eye for the guy coming from LB? It's not retarded, it's fair. | ||

The extended series is unfair, the fact that a player who comes from the LB has to win more games than his opponent isn't. | ||

There was a thread awhile ago, showing that you can still focus fire thors while in the Magic Box position. The one Leenock did was the standard one where you click past them, and stop right above. | ||

Keep in mind that Leenock haven't lost a series before the semi-finals, and TheStC has lost two series. It would be unfair for Leenock to get knocked out by losing just a single series. | ||
