He played like shit yesterday, so I predicted him to do well today. Probably will fuck it up tomorrow though :/
It's still hilarious though because Scarlett just destroyed Bomber, then lost to Heart, who went on to lose to Bomber, who wins the group. The irony is crazy.
Scarlett shouldn't have won versus Bomber, but he made some critical mistakes. I wish the community would stop using words like crushed and destroyed whenever one person simply wins versus another.

and this is the Hwasin vs Bisu game Klazart is talking about that was played a day before. + Show Spoiler +
Any Korean VODs? Sorry but can't stand the caster's voice at all.

You have to agree with R1CH though
Whether or not I agree with it, I'm not gonna balance whine and contribute to the already cesspool. All the balancing crying has been done one hundred fold, and it's not going to change anything (nor will Hero whining in game).
I would argue that if that's all anyone ever talks about it will make blizzard wake up and fix it faster.
Time and place. _________ imba in a LR thread accomplishes nothing except to clog up the thread with crap (mixed in with player hate, caster hate, tourney hate, misc hate.)

At least he beat Naniwa with his own cheese style
This is such a stupid post.
Yeah, Flash would never lose in BW, when he practiced 12 hours a day, had a pro-house system built around a Korean TV audience.
A practice regimen that is so intense that he had to get shoulder surgery. Yes that is so desirable to want to bring back.
"Bring back"? It's already here. When SC2 came around all the KeSPA pros didn't suddenly decide to take it easy.
They're applying such a practice regimen, or close to it. But it doesn't give the insurmountable advantage that it did in BW. There's still a big gap of course, but it's at least possible to compete.
There's no coincidence to me that Terran is the race that requires ridiculous mechanics to compete with at the highest level, and that a majority of the current SC2 progamers who are having issues with wrists/necks etc are all Terran.
That seems really arbitrary, all good Koreans have very high apm, regardless of whether they actually use it or not. DRG has 400apm, maybe he only needs 30 for brood lord infestor, but he still clicks really fast. It's the same for all of them. And I don't think it's a good thing when speed of execution starts to become irrelevant.
I just find it somewhat curious that all the players I am aware about, with wrist problems in SC2 are Terran players. They shouldn't have to injure themselves in an effort to compete. Might be an entirely random coincidence though!
Just curious. how many Terrans with real wrist problems do you know?
Well, beyond conjecture it's pretty hard to know, Korean teams are pretty secretive, and even when they realise information it turns out to be wrong (i.e Puzzle being ill).
MVP for one, although from what I've heard his issues are also related to his neck, Taeja is out with his wrists strapped recently and others, going back. I can't go search every single thread to find examples, I was pointing out something that I instinctively felt was a bit skewed towards Terran players, not definitively stating it WAS the case.
MVP indeed said that he couldn't play Marine/Tank TvZ even though he felt it was the best style at the time, namely that playing Terran optimally, to him was too mechanically demanding on his wrists over other styles such as Mech. Now that Mech seems to be switching over to be a favoured style of a lot of players this may be less of an issue of course.

Why shouldn't she have? Both Scarlett and Bomber lost their respective first two games purely due to an enormous mistake, and Scarlett dominated Bomber completely in game 3.

It was crushing though given Scarlett would of 2-0d had she not forgotten like 90 lings, and game 2 would of been a blow out had she not seriously messed up at the start of the game and fallen impossibly behind. Of course bomber made mistakes, thats definitionally true if you lost. But the blunders scarlett made were trivially easy not to make, and next to impossible to crawl out of after they happened.
