We're talking about Ret. The player who just got knocked out his group. The group to which this LR is dedicated.

There's just interesting analogy between mechanical difficulty and top foreigners. When Terran was all about rushes and two base timings, there were plenty of foreign Terrans. As macro play evolved and the skill cap increased, foreign Terrans started disappearing.

When Zerg was about macro games and harass (Speedling, Baneling, and Muta TvZ, FE), there weren't many good foreign Zergs. On the other hand, when Zerg's defense became so strong they could easily turtle to BL Infestor while deflecting any attack except an all in without Queens and Sunkens, Foreign Zergs exploded.

Pretty interesting.

I can't see the probe splitting, the stream lags every time something interesting happens

WCS must be trying to censor the stream

All this is because Protoss and Zerg races are designed to be very good with their Tier 3 units in Late game.Terrans got the best units for mid game.Its not the skill.The maps also changed a lot.No more close positions,no more really small maps.

Think about Whirlwind: Huge map.Think about the Zerg and Protoss mechanichs compared to Terrans. Instant warps or Zeerg capable of building 15 ultralisks or almos 100 lings at time.You cant compare this to queing units from barracks and rally them.Even transporting them in Speedmedivacs.Everybody know this.Huge maps are not Terran friendly.They are MACRO friendly,but its not the best the Terran race got.Drops or runbies with stim is the best they do and kiting as hell or splitting units.All of this requieres skill and multitasking.Zerg and Protoss just amove and warp or make units and spawn larvae.No need to micro almost.Its not the same.

Think about maps like Atlatis Spaceship.Why do you think MVP went for 2rax vs Squirtle in this final map??

Pretty interesting.

Actually I have heard a fair amount of people calling ret best foreign zerg, best zerg in the whole world, top 3 zerg and so on. i find it weird that you haven't.

Yeah probably. This LR thread is so slow I get double posts, in GSL there'd be like two pages between them.

Sad to see TitaN die a slow and painful death, I wish he could've managed to advance.
