HerO was to blame. He tried to cut corners when he doesn't need to. Why are people raging about this?

I can't watch this anymore. Never tuned out of SC because of rage before but this is too much.
Screw this, screw zerg, Taeja wins this tournament.


3 Terrans in top 4 and you say screw zerg? -.-


Yes, screw zerg for making HerO all in and use stuff like this. Zerg is literally destroying the most beautiful thing there was about this game - HerO's PvZ.
I'm dead serious.


hero skimped on making a full wall or building a zealot. He cut that corner to get a build order advantage but Targa's build order countered it.

Stop fucking blaming balance.


I'm not blaming imbalance for his loss in this series, I'm blaming zerg because you can't beat them lategame so even the most macro and awesome to watch PvZ player in the world (HerO) has to rely on two base all ins to beat zergs FAR below his skill level.
Nothing was more beautiful about this game than watching HerO outmultitask his way to victory against even the best zergs in the world. Now he two base all ins vs people like Targa, like every other protoss in the world.

Well.


There is NOTHING that proves you can't beat zerg lategame as protoss, it's all in your head. Let me guess, you play protoss and HerO is your idol, and you start blaming whatever you can get ahold of when HerO loses? it's weak.


"WHAT!? but I thought there was only one way in Canada!" "Yeah, and y'all went the wrong direction on it"

you're just mad targa has to cheese to win while incontrol plays macro games. a cheesy gimicky player has no right to call another player bad.

1/10 step up your trolling


I chuckled at the saying hes improving part..gotta love incontrols pre tournie tweets!

I'm getting International 2 vibes here, not in terms of production quality, but just nerd-hype in general. I didn't think an SC2 tournament could match TI2 in excitement, other than GSL.

The weird and creepy videos, the EG curse timing, the InControl burn... damn DH you scary.

I kinda like ZvZ too. At least bad ZvZs are over quickly. Bad TvTs are just tank slugfests that put you to sleep. However, a good TvT is a thing of beauty that ZvZ cannot hope to equal.

FBH threw RICE at his opponents when he won. Seriously, the whole idea that ALL koreans are super manner is silly. Koreans, like other humans, all have different personalities. They might be more manner on average, but Targa's comment wouldn't be considered a real BM move (Koreans are even more blunt than foreigners when talking about who is "good" or "bad").

I can't remember which progamer was it in early SC2, but his nickname among other Korean pros was "kaesaki Terran", liberally translated to "dog-fucker Terran" because of his bad manner.

I missed it.. what did Targa say to piss everyone off? Or perhaps Incontrol? I don't know what people are talking about anymore.

The drinking game could be based on the LR. Every time there is a balance whine, take a sip. Every time people regurgitate an argument they heard a second before from a caster, take a sip. Every ban, take a shot.

Hero only won with a cannon rush. Then he tried to 5 gate cheese... Then he lost to a 4base zerg, and then he lost to a timing attack that he made himself susceptible to. Hero was the cheeser, not Targa.

Oh Targa gets lucky two games and its considered skill.


I don't think anyone thinks Targa is more skilled than HerO...

So Starcraft is game of luck, not game of skill? That's some bad news right there.


or maybe hero is a player of luck and targa found some holes.

Next time, hero should come back with a tighter, more solid game, especially when playing against inferior opponents when he should not NEED to cut any corners.





Both PvP and PvZ are "cutting corners" match ups for P. In both, if you don't, you can easily get beaten by an inferior opponent. That is one of the many of the Sc2 design flaws.

It sucks that his achievement is being overshadowed by this.

He was put in a tough position with that question, which was a pretty strange thing to be asked. Most people have no experience in responding to something like that in front of thousands of people after such a huge game.

People have said a hell of a lot worse, in worse times and not being chastised for it like this. I hope that peoples support for him has not been diminished because of this drama, that would be really sad considering how well he is doing.
