We can't even say he is better then Sase. Sase got eliminated by Hyun who Naniwa also lost to. Naniwa actually came in second in both of his groups and then had a easy (comparably) RO16 to the finals. Impressive but not good enough to prove he is even top 5 foreigner Maybe one was harder than the other. Huk on the same bracket side as Naniwa but he got eliminated several stages before. Guess he wouldnt make in to the top 15 foreigners. Im pretty sure Naniwa would even be a top 3 foreigner along side Stephano and someone else. Sase perhaps ? | ||

In all honesty there haven't been many tourneys. no IEM was even before release, there were 2 tours after release both won by zergs when zergs are considered UP ,this really reminds me of WOL beginning GSL OPEN 1 and 2 won by fruitdealer and creator of the universe | ||

But those damn spine walls, I will be ranting and fuming for days over it. Nevermind the fact that Leenock lost 40lings and by the time Nani walked up the ramp and to the other side of the spine wall there was another 40 It's just sadly how the matchup works in SC2. If Protoss isn't trying to win with one big attack that is all or nothing, then... actually there isn't really much of an alternative to how Protoss works. Protoss strong with all ins and early game shenanigans. Zerg (against P) wins by defending against said all ins and early game shenanigans. Protoss matchups are kind of unfun because most of it just consists of winning with just one big attack (and that means Zerg just needs to invest into defending that one attack to win). Bring back Reavers (and Mutalisk with similar control from BW) ! | ||

MVP had an era like that as well. I don't think anyone would say the same for Leenock. If I was a fanboy I'd be agreeing with the nugget in the last few pages who was calling for Terran buffs. Sorry for appreciating world class play and all that even if they don't play my race, must be biased in the future. Edit: I wasn't saying he was better, I was just going by the persons logic by that because he lost in ro32 he must be irrelevant to the zergs who advanced. | ||

Frig these guys even go back and forth when they play one another. Agreed. Both of 'em play amazingly well and deserve the credit they get. No need to argue who's ultimately better than the other, especially when they don't play in the same tournament. | ||

Neo Planet S and Whirlwind are really tough. Akilon isn't so bad if you do a decent 3 base all-in, but I don't see Toss every doing what Leenock did and take 5-7 bases on that map. | ||

I still think they could have fit more Bo5 rounds in there with more games on NASL, but then again there's also the need for commercials and sponsor exposure (which was thankfully low-key, btw). It just feels that by going down the Bo3 route, they're not only devaluating the most interesting part of any tournament (the playoffs), but also making the Dreamhack event appear smaller than it actually is. | ||

I saw that but notice the probably and good thing we don't look at results from one tournament alone? Same rule applies to NaNiwa. Stop grasping at straws. | ||
