I didn't see anything wrong with his answer about InControl.

Because you have, apparently, no conception of what's appropriate and smart to say in this context. I suppose you will learn in a few years, when you grow up


I am glad you are grown up then, but the point is that this question shouldn't even be asked and if i were Targa i wouldn't like people comparing me with Incontrol so his answer was more than ok.


Hmm. Why shouldn't the question be asked? Dreamhack is pretty responsive to the people watching stream and chatting, and I have no doubt that both here on TL and in the chat people were comparing Targa to Incontrol, given that they both have decent body mass. (Not sure about the muscle/non-muscle ratio in Targa's case, pretty sure Geoff is buff.)

You want to say i can be compared to like 20% of earth just because they are slim? That's very interesting. There was not much to say for Targa, either the fact that Incontrol is not the best player or their looks but comparing people just because of their looks is just...... boring. Incontrol is one of the best figures in e-sports as a caster or entertainer but Targa couldn't really say anything about this because he's just a player so there is no comparison.


That is not what I'm saying. What I am saying is, Rachel asked the question because it was already being talked about by the fans. She's bringing a perception of the fans up to a player, because it would likely be more interesting an answer than "How do you feel about that win?" (Obviously, pretty darn good.) Or the half dozen similar questions that end up getting the same generic answers. Rachel isn't making the comparison, the fans watching were - it's a valid question. And Targa's answer was in fact pretty interesting. A lot better than "You won because HerO didn't put a zealot in the choke. Was that luck or skill?" Incontrol hasn't played well for awhile, but he has done a lot better in caster/host roles in that same time. He has done very good things, but at the same time that question is not unlike ones that Incontrol himself might ask while doing an interview on that very couch.

I mean, really. What question would you rather Rachel ask that would have gotten a reaction on this scale?

And truthfully, Targa's answer is pretty valid. It's not BM, it's just his opinion. Not unlike Stephano's answers throughout WCS Europe. Not even close to the awkward several seconds before Stephano said he was honored to represent EU at WCS World.


Or she could start conversation about the games. I don't understand why interviewers don't do this more. She's a good host though.


Yes. Of course. Except that Targa won both of his games in part (large or small, others can argue) because HerO made some pretty bad decisions. How do you phrase those questions so that it doesn't sound like you're saying "Damn, Targa, you lucked out on that!" He was playing well, but I doubt that Rachel even seriously considered what to ask Targa in the winner's interview, because we've all become very accustomed to assuming the Korean will win, and most people would've said HerO will win that series 9/10 times.

incontrol isn't bad...every time i watch an incontrol interview, he says he is improving so no, he isn't a suck player.

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.


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.


you're just some hero hater. foreigners can't win everything. if targa isn't a cheesy player, he wouldn't have made all those lings randomly. if he was a good macro player, he would have macro'd himself out of that situation. it's quite obvious that his mechanics aren't that good so he has to rely on some exploit.

and in game one, like doa said, it's called the korean skill test. targa didn't react well so he lost, simple as that. not cheese, an early game advantage. he wasn't trying to kill targa at that point. and in game 2, hero did a 5 gate pressure, not all in. targa went all in in game 3 for no reason when he could have macro'd out of that. he just doesn't have good mechanics.


Slow ling allin is no exploit. If you think that, damn you

He beat both VortiX and Lucifron AND 2-0'd ForGG.

This means that Socke is the best protoss.

5 gate isn't a cheese.. if Hero were to cheese he would 7-8. Why would he purposely make a far inferior attack timing if he's going all in? Because he's not going all in. Notice he took a 3rd?


Oh i'm sorry, I thought cheese was when you went semi-all in or all-in, sacrificing your economy to do damage. And if you don't do damage you are far behind or dead, respectively. That's what happened. He "took a 3rd", but not really, he didn't have much chance of holding it being 80 supply behind, with inferior tech and upgrades.

Hero did aggression. In SC2 pvz, if you don't do anything to disrupt the zerg's economy, you basically lose. Making an attack is playing the game correctly, not cheesing.

Reminds me of Hack vs Gumiho in the up/downs. Really good game, shame TheStC didn't scout more, a bunker would have saved his ass surrounded by a supply depot or 2.

What...? Are people bashing TargA for his response to the question? It was just trashtalk, had Stephano(for example, before he was on EG) done it, no on would care half as much.

Ok, if he didn't sacrifice economy or tech to attack, I guess he just got outplayed. Doesn't matter much to me.

I can't believe that protoss players are angry about a cheese that you would hold 100% of the time if you keep your zealot in a base.

i wish every cheese was that straightforward to hold.
