Nerchio won as I expected and predicted. Congrats to him. He continues to be impressive. Well done to Bly and Mana and StarNan, all having a great tournament it appears. Any games that people recommend I catch from Day 2? Did Apollo do anymore rapping? | ||

Oh yes, 5-0 about two weeks ago and has furthermore failed to win anything significant in a while so discounting him is not as "out there" as it might seem. To be fair, I do not know why Thorzain was absent (Isnt he in Korea ATM??) Have a nice day  | ||

Missed the first round but Mana vs Sage g2 and Nerchio vs Bly g2 pops out. And no rapping, but 2GD "roasted" Apollo, Jorosar and Redeye. :D | ||

The best player won the tournament in the end. The overwhelming Terran failure + MVP losing GSL could be a blessing in disguise as they cancelled the recent buffs because of a Terran winning IEM - I'm not too pessimistic about it but it should be ringing alarm bells back at Blizzard HQ | ||

Typical. Blizzard is supposed to catering to the "casual" community. | ||

Everything I said was speculation - As related to my IEM comment aside from Taeja at MLG what had Terran achieved before then - absolutely nothing - and the test patch went underway, we could see a pattern forming. I wouldn't call STC weak either, he lives in the Startale house therefore trains with Parting and Squirtle and Co, just some players are notoriously weak on foreign soil than others (See Symbol's foreign record unless you describe him as weak) | ||

I wouldn't call TheStC strong either. He is very erratic in results. If training with the best translated directly into results, horror and True would be bonjwas. Symbol was never as strong as his hype suggested. His ZvP and ZvZ are nothing special. Even then, his foreign results are not nearly as bad as you are insinuating. | ||

Shouldn't we look for reasons why terrans are so under represented in EU/NA? Terrans were dominating in KR and that got looked at. Couldn't we just have said Terran representation is strong in Korea and always has been and just leave it so we just continued to get GomTvT? | ||
