hope for a quick 4-0 now, games will suck balls anyway

really no bomber? I was hard pressed to decide between him and Polt for 1st place, his games at IPL5 were so good. he also took 2nd in lonestar losing by only one game earlier in the month.

He is a MLG champion and he also won IEM Brazil.
I am evidently brainless today. Editing my post for worthlessness. lol.

Ryung top 5 TvT, but his TvZ and TvP still holding him back. Put Bomber up there instead of Ryung. Hasn't he shown some of the very best vZ when at his best? I agree about the TvP, but Ryung has been really good at both vT and vZ lately.

Bomber deserves do be top 5 for his macro alone.

Goshdang it Mr. Bitter ><

I wanted to include Fantasy but I couldn't justify it with more than fanboyism, his record so far in sc2 is really good but most of the games were hybrid proleague so meh. We'll see how he does in Code A Round 2.

I'm all for my fellow Brotoss but I want Violet to win too because he's a very likeable guy and a really skilled player......gahhhh so conflicted!

bomber is good at making and refining builds, but other terrans have been better at executing them imo but /shrug

I was hard pressed to decide between him and Polt for 1st place, his games at IPL5 were so good. he also took 2nd in lonestar losing by only one game earlier in the month. Bomber seems too reliant on unique builds, and also, Polt won games vs him where he shouldn't due to pure superior decision making. This is where bomber is lacking, and what characterizes all other top Terrans. I'm not so sure, I think Bomber relies on pure macro and clean execution more, like Bogus does when he's playing well.
Polt or MVP are the guys who win games through their brains or their sheer balls.

Bomber deserves do be top 5 for his macro alone. macro is quickly turning into a triviality for the best Terrans. It is no longer a defining trait of the top Terrans. They all have superb macro, and what differentiates them is not macro.
Unless, of course, your name is Lee Young Ho.

Is like $1,000 behind MMA. Peasants, all of them, in comparison to the king. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/bMtbS.jpg) + Show Spoiler +![[image loading]](http://i0.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/008/469/flash7template.jpg) 4 GSLs and second all time in prize money? That's cute. Thank you sir, the time of the king has ended, bow before GOD! *bows*

I would have picked IPL5 as tournament of the year but WCS EU is definitely my #2, so It's a good choice I guess.

I just love these NASL recognizes vods.
