Its only 2 games but he did smash Rain... what other Terran other than MvP has done that at all?
Also it was more humor than anything. I'm random like that.

I may be biased but I think Seed has enough soul.

He's saying he hopes to see seed use void rays.
And since you apparently didn't watch fight club, Hyun made 19 broods, 38 infestors and 5 corruptors in game 4. He lost to like 20 voids, 4 collossi and a dozen archons, plus stalker warp-ins, Finale lost none of the voids, and only two of the collossi, then went on to roll over Hyun.

I'm You are...???? Man, there's so much downtime between matches. This is so players can set up correctly? Doesn't OSL have much longer breaks? 5mins is pretty good! I suppose so. I just thought that the other players would set up in the unused booths while the other matches were going on like they do during the Up&Downs. And Artosis, don't worry, I was quite let down as well. I'm downright disappointed, wanted more Woongjin tearing up Code S. Anyway, it goes to show that mechanics are also a result of KNOWING the game inside and out enough for it to become muscle-memory. SC2 and BW are different games but I still believe the outliers exist but I also believe that the greats of WC3 will find a way to excel in SC2. I guess it's just about such players having a general ability to take apart games and absorbing knowledge quick enough to have those great mechanics. Soulkey was on his way up in BW when it ended and Flash is still in his prime. I don't know much about the WC3 scene but I hope Grubby gets better than he used to be. Anyone know that dub step song in the intro? I like it. Flash was actually kind of slacking in terms of results towards the end of brood war, most people agreed that Fantasy was head and shoulders above him in terms of BW skill in the final month. Flash definitely transitioned over to sc2 a lot better though.
Ah right. That's true. Fantasy has claimed in interviews that he thinks his chosen playstyle is better in SC2 but learning a new game takes a while.
I think HotS will be a better assessment for the true skill level of the players in general with them having to all start from scratch.
I like how SC2 is still rewarding intelligent play though, smart timings and smart build order choices in BoX series. Flash definitely shines in those areas since he's always been known for dissecting BW down to a freakin' science. iloveoov also said that it was also the reason Rain is excelling in this game.
Anyway, game has started but I gotta go now. Hope Seed and sOs get out of this group (hopefully with sOs showing much better play).

My biased opinion (look at that sig), but his TvP and TvT (especially vs Mech) can show insane skill. TvZ is maybe Ro32-fine at the good Bomber side. The two other matchups can be better than everyone but the top terrans (in my opinion, TaeJa/Mvp).

That is interesting actually. I haven't seen any pros use Voids in a WHILE. I mean, not in the way they used to during the colossus void deathball era.

This is what you call a soul test.

StarTale_PartinG said in an interview that his Immortal-Sentry all-in is the strongest of all pro-gamers, because he puts a lot of soul into it.

Basically, Parting mentioned in an interview that the reason his immortal all-ins always work when it's him doing it is because he puts soul into them. Lol.
