Bomber's law: Bomber will always disappoint. Corollary to Bomber's law: If Bomber does not disappoint, it will be to set up an even bigger disappointment in the future Bomber has made a fan of me with the play he's brought out in the last few rounds of this tournament.... but POLT will forever have my heart as the best terran in the game. I don't think Bomber can get more hype behind him this tournament... it's time for the let down. | ||

I hope Violet beats Leenock, I think Polt has more chance against him if he reaches the GF... | ||

Leenock is an excellent Zerg, with a lot of none standard strats + most importantly his mentality looks suited to these type of tournaments, where the games come at you without time to prepare | ||

As already mentioned he tends to dissaspoint to a point where it has become almost funny, so you want him to do better next time. But i also think that it is because there is so few Terrans who are doing good these days, so whenever a Terran is actually doing good a lot of people will cheer for them just for being Terran. A bit like people cheer for foreigners who can beat Koreans. Last but not least he simply tends to play some very entertaining games. I am sure that a lot of people will agree that we have seen enough Infestor/Broodlord deathballs and Immortal/Sentry all-ins for a while, and that it is nice to see something different | ||

I am sure that a lot of people will agree that we have seen enough Infestor/Broodlord deathballs and Immortal/Sentry all-ins for a while, and that it is nice to see something different I think Bomber also has a history with the foreign scene. He was one of the first korean terran to go oversea (DH Summer 2011), just few weeks after MMA and those two became the huge terran favorites of the foreign fans during a long time. Bomber also used to completely crush his opponents with shockingly superior macro, something we still see from him from time to time. That is the two main reasons why a lot of people like him today imo. But he has proven many times that he is not very solid, he is an incredibly greedy player and therefore sometimes get completely crushed, but sometimes looks a million times better than his opponent. Not the biggest strategist, mostly an aggressive brutal macro force (I haven't seen much of his games during this tourney though) I am more a fan of Polt personally, very good strategist, probably one of the very best multitasking among Terran players, quite aggressive with his play but always entertaining and completely capable of playing ultra late game. Go Polt ! Even though I don't think any of those two can beat Leenock. | ||

I can only speak for myself but Bomber is one of the few terrans that's had something of a "spark" in his play the last few months. I can't really explain it other than that but I've just really enjoy watching his games which I can't really say for most other terrans atm that are playing quite uninspired. | ||
