Posts like this always rustle my jimmies. We just saw them play a bo5 head to head series. Socke won. And Socke was first in his group. How exactly is Kas a "much much much better player?" It's comments like this that lower eSports credibility as a "real" sport because in sports like soccer, baseball, basketball, American football, etc... You never hear "team x is still much better even though they just lost to team y." Instead, you hear "team y was the better team and team x got beat." No excuses.

So sad for Kas, and I've got bad moods at the end of the day, he played so well, and I was hoping Kas to be in a finals, he deserved it.

And doesn't matter what would happen, I will root for Kas!

Are you considering Socke's exceptional PvP?


hm? Socke always says that he doesn't like pvp. His pvz was probably worse for some time (well, everyone except Parting was bad at pvz during that time.), but after the patch and the way he played against nerchio....pretty sure pvp is his worst matchup.

SO SAD cuz the better player lost omg :/


Honestly, I expect more from a GM player than such a stupid post.

Why not give the foreigner with by far the best form at this tournament the respect he deserves? Baffles me anyway, how you can disrespect a player, who has been around for such a long time and produced several impressive tournament runs since the release of WoL. This is also undermined with the amount of price money he won over the years, which is by the way a good amount more than the supposely better player. The guy is a freaking institution of European SC 2 and if he brings his A game, he is easily a Top Foreigner. This is exactly what happened in Poland.

Kas is an extremely good player with really strong mechanics, but he was simply not the better player in this close match. Socke played in this match and this tournament in general his strengths well, which are his decision making and his army control. Especially the second part was crucial in this match. He clearly traded better.
