There's a long history of people pronouncing words in SC wrong. Artosis for instance pronounces irridiate as "iridate" and yamato cannon as "yamoto cannon". Some people say "zee-lot" instead of zealot, others pronounce chitinous wrong.

Lol, Terran becoming the new zerg... Yeah, Stephano tried so hard doing nothing for minuts and allowing his opponent to tech Battlecruisers with 2/2 bio vs 5/3 Ultralisks. From this the only logical conclusion is that Terran is imbalanced. He did attack bro, all that he got was donating units, ling/ultralisk needs surface area, terran units can pack really well with buildings, also can't attack healing flying units . Dream could have added widow mines at any point and completely shut down stephano's shenanigans, didnt need to do that though.
I think this is where swarm host and vipers come in. You can use swarm host and siege down the outer buildings. And vipers blinding cloud can force the bio forward and increase the surface area. It might take a bit of time for zergs to adjust. Will be interesting to see how Violet will play if he faces Dream, Mvp or Yoda at some point.

Haha, Stephano will face Parting. So Stephano REALLY wanted to lose against Dream. Get a grip, people.
Of course he didn't, but that has nothing to do with it, as it would have still been smarter to get 3rd place, even if he meets the strongest opponent now.

I gotta say, HotS is looking reaaaaaally refreshing right now in almost every matchup except PvP and maybe ZvZ. I love the BW-esque feeling it's been getting.
Seriously though, PvP is f_ing terrible right now haha Haha, ZvZ is BWesque too actually, which is one of the few cases where that's a bad thing. As for PvP, we need YongHwa to figure it out like last time, where he ended the 4gate vs 4gate era. :p
I think stalkers should be better vs void rays so the ground style isn't completely useless as it is right now. Void rays are really dominating PvP atm. I love that they're viable but they might be a little too viable.

Why are you sad about this? It's a rematch of the Katowice finals and First doesn't have like 10 of Dream's TvP series to watch before the finals... Should be good games.

I am pleased that in the end LGIM players won each group they were put into and that all of them advanced. I would happily accept an all LGIM top 4.

as much as the zerg in me wants to balance whine
unless I am mistaken
4 zergs 4 toss 4 terran racial distribution advancing is pretty good
Yep.
Balance isn't as bad as people are saying. Stephano barely played HotS but he advanced because he's a good player.

You would not say with that logo for yours on the buttom right there ...

4 Zergs 4 Terrans 4 Protosses
1 P with 5-0 ; 1 T with 5-0 ; 1 Z with 5-0
The last group is 1 P 1 Z 1 T tied with 4-1
Could it be more perfect statistically? :p

ZvT win rate 32% so far.
It's almost like the Terrans at the event are Korean or something.

I don't see why Stephano is screwed necessarily vs Parting, although granted I am not sure how much HoTS Parting has been playing
Parting isn't THAT good at PvZ, at all, his mastery of the immortal-sentry allin really covered that up for a while. Stephano is historically a better ZvPers than Parting is a PvZer.
There's a lot of familiarity with the HoTs game to be considered, and changes to the game in general, but should be interesting none the less

It's BenQ the electronics manufacturer. They make monitors, televisions, and stuff like that.

I'm not following, how is it smarter? Gets Parting, followed up by Yoda?
