5-0, 5-1 Leenock. They're going to have to start recycling players if they can't get anyone from Kespa to play. Tho, MLG would probably be pretty pissed if the next IPL FC was Leenock vs Flash.

5-0, perhaps getting scarlett into it would make an interesting match, she seems pretty stable in ZvZ.

Sting can take 1-2 games, but I don't see him taking the series in any way .

Leenock is just a beast .

This is gonna be pretty brutal I think, Leenock 5-0

His series against Grubby was one of the ugliest I've seen in SC2. Same vs Vortix.

This won't be pretty.


Sorry I can't hear anything over my laughter of how completely fucking wrong you all were...


Do you need to be so condescending? I'm pretty sure the majority of TL would have favored Leenock either way after the Infestor nerfs, and he just seemed a little off that day, though Sting played well.


Leenock was definitely favored heavily but you guys were being pretty harsh on Sting trying to downplay his IEM win even though it's impossible for Terran to win tournaments right now.

I don't think you mean right now do you? Terran is doing really good (with the exception of Mvp) after the patch. In fact zerg actually seems to be struggling a bit.


Idk about right now we need more time to see how big the patch really is. I'm talking about since the queen patch as a whole. Taeja, MVP, and Sting are the only Terrans that have won a tournament since the queen patch.

Ah I see. Although I think tournament wins is kind of misleading as Polt, Bomber and Gumiho have all had lots of success in the matchup.

Also would you count WCS Sweden as a major tournament?


It's actually misleading in the opposite direction. If you go by top 4s or top 8s Terran would look even worse than if you go by championships. Terran is a top heavy race outside of GSL. I also don't think it's only TvZ. For WCS Sweden not really but even if you do count it then you just have to add a ton of other tournaments so much that it's still a ridiculously low % that Terran has won.

hmm I would disagree simply from the tournaments I watched

IPL - 2 out of top 4 Terran
GSL5 - 2 out of Top 4 Terran
Dreamhack Winter - Terran finalist
NASL - 3 out of Top 8 Terran

Just recent tournaments off the top of my head. Anyway I guess my point is it isn't even close for it being impossible for Terran to win tournaments recently. Also with the recent Terran dominance we will probably have a Terran GSL 2013 season 1 winner.


There have been like 30-40 tournaments since the queen patch and you chose 4. You also used a different round for each one to make it look like Terran is doing better than they are top 16 for all those tournaments:
IPL: 3 Terran
GSL5 - 6 Terran (did well here but it was guaranteed since they had so many in the ro32)
Dreamhack - 2 Terran
NASL - 5 Terran (another pretty decent one)

So still not that bad but lets look at some recent tournaments you conveniently left out
IEM Singapore - 3 Terrans in the entire tournament and 1 in top 8 (who is Sting of course and he ends up winning but very low rep overall)
WCS World - 0 Terrans in top 8
WCG - 2 Terrans in top 8 who both lose 0-2 to a Zerg and Protoss
Blizzard Cup - 1 Terran in tournament who got eliminated 0-4 in series and 1-8 in games.
MLG Fall - 4 Terran top 8 (good tournament for Terran but still ended in ZvZ finals)

Currently running you have the MLG toc which has a PvP finals despite having Flash and MKP in it. You have Iron Squid where only 2 Terrans have got out of groups (and they both got 2nd) so far and there is only 1 group left which only has 1 terran.

If you go back further it just gets worse as well with tournaments like WCS Asia and WCS Korea having 0 Terrans in top 10 of both and some Z/P dominated MLGs. The MLG Taeja won he was the only Terran in top 8.
Regardless even if they do place well if they never win then it just means that Terrans can't beat the tip top players of the other races they can just beat the mediocre ones. If it wasn't nearly impossible for Terran to win tournaments they would be winning more often. I also doubt they'll win the next GSL. Yes they have a lot of Terrans in it but they had 14 of them in this season and they didn't end up winning.

Way to go Sting! Glad to see that Leenock's reign of terror only lasted for a single week. I'm still glad he was able to take out Hyun though.

Awesome. Too bad I missed these matches.
But now I really want some kind of WW/NSH merger so that NSH can avoid slipping into oblivion even more.

To all ppl who sayed sting was going to be destroyed, HA!

On srs note, i have been watching sting stream recently and his mechanics are really good, micro/multitask/macro. Once his game knowledge catches up to his mechanics, he will be beast.

I don't know why but I always cheer for Sting because I love watching a player who literally always cheeses and gets far.

It's like Gaulzi getting to championship bracket through cannon rushes. It's just hilarious to watch and makes awesome intense games.

You should check out Heart! If you haven't already lol


No I hate heart.
Sting is at least creative with his cheeses, but Heart usually just does a 1-1-1 or something already done.

Also Sting can play macro games, and he's pretty good at them, he just likes to always cheese/allin.

to be honest you just exactly described heart lol

sad leenock lost

That was unexpected by Leenock. He says 2 hours for $500, not a great payrate, my time better spend on other tournaments.
