GG hero! I'm beginning to think his "caliber" isn't really all that high... Really though, who has he beaten? Brain (who?), Flash(mildly overrated and not very good at TvT), Symbol(very streaky himself), and a couple Bo1's against mid-tier terrans. He's shown some pretty good games, but is relatively unproven as a top tier player. He outplayed hero until he let all his ghosts die. It was smart of him to run around kill the third and snipe colossus with his vikings and then run back around. However, he stopped running around and attacked with his ghosts and the rest of hero's army caught up. Also, as you know he also decided not to snipe the colossus. It seemed like either he had a mental lapse of miscontrol, or he couldn't manage two or three control groups simultaneously. Up until then everything he did was smart. No, he didnt outplay hero at all. Not even close. Try something else dude because that map is heavily T favored against protoss and the fact that Baby tried so many times to snipe the third nexus isnt what you call "outplaying".
what the
He was wiping the floor with Hero until he fucked up that last engagement super bad and lost the game.
Also throwing out stuff like "heavily favored" on a map that probably doesn't even have 5 pro TvPs played on it ever is dumb.

Heavily terran favourite is not backed up with statistics from TLPD . 3 - 2 in favour of protoss in PvT shows that the map is playable .

At this point I think taking for granted that it will happen at all is a mistake. The Elephant Theory is so dead it's fossilized.

Shall we refer to it as the Woolly Mammoth theory from here on?

There are some exceptionally talented and strong guys from the Kespa side no doubt, but I am kinda glad this BW elitism has run its course to be honest

If you discount the fact that 90% of the players that have won something significant in SC2 were BW pros then yeah . The only notable players who don't have a BW background are Polt and Stephano i can't think of anyone else .

The BW elitism Doublemint is talking about is probably the idea that The Elephant in the Room was theorizing about (good/dominant players in BW coming over to SC2 and steamrolling the competition). If you instead decide to interpret it as "any player with a BW background regardless of record being good at SC2" then BW elitism doesn't even mean much anymore.

I'm seriously afraid every time they're picking someone that JYP will get sent out instead of HerO. Because JYP is "amazing at PvZ" or something like that... :S :S (NO HE'S NOT!!!! at least compared to HerO he's not, anyways)

And you think such a small sample size of 5 is reliable enough to believe its not terran favoured. lol
This is like watching Sson beat Flash 2-0 and saying "oh they only played two games but Sson is a better player
than Flash!"
