Lets face it - if you only want to watch terrans your pretty much a write-off for many foreign tournaments anyway. | ||

There's a difference between only wanting to watch terrans and having tournaments where the Ro8 has not a single Terran. Or Top 12 in a Double Elimination bracket (Sup WCS Asia? T_T) | ||

It's going to be a different environment for him. We gonna have to see if he can perform the same at that stage. But I agree he is going to be one of the most feared opponents for any terran in that tournament. I don't think any of those big terran names will win IPL5, not in this current meta game with so many Zergs even if they are considered worse or less accomplished. | ||

IPL5 is a ways away, we don't know what Life's current form will be by then, he might get complacent because of his victory and not practice as hard, it was not long ago that Taeja was being heralded as the undisputed best player in the world, DRG and Marineking before him earlier this year. Things can change relatively quickly. Also, Life is a ladder beast, he would handle weekend tournaments just fine. | ||

More people tune-in for the later stages and there is no telling that someone tuned-out for lack of terrans. On the other hand the difference a big celebrity can make is likely to be seen very clearly. | ||

Pretty sure i saw this happen once in a July game vs a terran, he loaded up a massive amount of ling ultra into a nydus and both the entrance as well as the nydus got killed, he instantly dropped like 60 supply or something. Pretty funny. What a horrible way to go! The poor units are stuck in the belly of a monster deep underground! | ||

(so no back to 70 damage :/ ) Siege tanks are just that bad because map design disfavors them. Some time ago the most important thing on a map was that siege tanks would have no spot they could take advantage of. | ||

I don't remember that well so please take what I say with a pinch of salt, but I recall that WCS Asia Grand Finals was under 40k concurrent viewers for the last matches, despite Liquid`HerO, PartinG and the newly-affirmed Bison? That's pretty telling to be honest. That's not gonna happen ever, rofl. Remember Blizzard still thinks the main issue with WoL is "terran deathballs being too strong" ? Hahahaha. | ||
