I think someone should make a mod where all the units are in the carbot style. Perhaps as unlockables wiht leveling in HoTS

Fatigue is starting to set in. Is 3rd/4th Bo5? Sure hoping so.

Oh shit, the B word. It has begun.

The problem is that they can't. No body can stay dominant for long in SC2. 1 is the patch keeps on coming. And it will do for a few years. 2 is there are just too many to players now, its just hard to stay on top for long.
Takes rain for example, he really looks dominant in like 1 mth ago, then just fell behind quickly. This happens to all the others, even Life.

Foreigners don't come into the equation that much. What you say makes no sense. Actually only about 100 korean played SC1 including those trainers. You can see how many in SC2 community now. SC2 is designed to be more player friendly, less mechanics and more mind games. And i guess it works.
there were at least 150+ active pros who were kespa ranked, more than 400 amateur/semipros a lot of them living in semipro houses, plus a ton more who are just like B/B+ ranked on iccup, so not "100 korean"....

Speaking of Suppy, I find it remarkable that he only BARELY qualified for WCS North America, then didn't qualify for the World at all and was only brought it in as a sub for Ostojiy... and then proceeded to go the furthest of any American and any EG player in the entire tourney. Scary that. Good on him.

guys, if there's a bonjwa in sc2, it's definitely MVP, if not, MVP is still the closest to it. case closed.

Yeah, if not. He's the closest thing that will ever get.

What's the story behind Parting's immortal-sentry all in and "wonwonwon" and "soul train"? When he started using it in the GSL, he said in an interview the reason it works so well for him (more than others) is because he puts his SOUL into it, something which other progamers can't hope to emulate. As such it is since become known as the Soul Train, and PartinG has also become known as Soultoss. The "wonwonwon" is another name for the strategy, devised because: * Won is PartinG's last name. * Won is the korean currency (so people who like money use it). * You have 'won' if you pulled it off. * It sounds like 1/1/1, another infamous and previously OP all-in build. * There is 3 wons, for each of the 3 immortals in the standard build of it. And now he did it successfully 3 times a row too, ROFL. 3 is the magic number, WonWonWon And it was to give Sen a chance at getting another 3rd place! Damn that is true. o.O All these number 3's....confused. Also, Partings birthday is August(8th month) 24th. Now lets do some math, 24/8 and what do we get....OMG its 3! Coincidence? I think not.
You know the numer for top control? Yeah.

I think they have to follow this schedule (generally no sooner than 10 mins or so).
Set it to your local time first.
I haven't been following the tournament all the way but I remember like a 30-40 min break before a game start (it started 10 mins before the designated scheduled time).

OMG, those cartoons are so cute! Blizzard should have some secret skin that makes all the units look that adorable in-game, like that D3 unicorn level.

I suppose he just gets LANs. Something about traveling, adjusting, and performing that he understands.

Most important is the amount of tournaments players play and travel to, there are simply so much more then in BW and unlike BW most are outside of Korea even.
You can't simply win all of them no one can be that dominant, and if you lose 1/2 people already call it like you have fallen off. As you now do with Life and Rain.
