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. That's just not true at all. I don't agree Kas is a better player (I'd say they are about equal), but a team/player that is very good can lose to a team/player that is worse than they are and still be considered better. For example, it's not abnormal for the one of the best teams in basketball, say the Miami Heat, to lose to one of the worst teams, like the Washington Wizards. If the Wizards beat Miami, everyone would still think Miami was the better team, they just had a bad game. So, you're wrong, you do hear things like "team x is still much better even though they just lost to team y" in other sports. It's called an 'upset'. | ||

In this game the inferior player can win with sheananigans even amongs the top. Kas is much more solid player overall. Socke is ofc awesome too, but let's not get carried away just because socke won a close series with 2 all-ins and a game where Kas threw his 70 supply humongous lead because he had a brainfart... | ||

Errr yeah, thats the definition of solid players I guess lol | ||

A solid player: a) doesn't eco cheese. (3 CC before units) b) knows how to defend cheeses and all ins. They both played a great series. The better player wins and that was Socke today. | ||

Socke has been playing really well this tournament, hasn't dropped a set so far whereas Kas dropped 2 in the group stages. Socke's on top form and Kas just isn't at the top of his game right now. | ||

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. this was true in the past. But recently he stated that PvP is his strongest match up and that he feels very confindet playing it. | ||
