Or he's just taking a different approach than the usual. You can manage a brand/company in different ways, being overly passionate and showing it to the public is one way. | ||

How many times have you seen Terrans make the "perfect" comp, only to have it picked apart? Once they're lose either their Ghosts or their Vikings, the Protoss just rolls over them because they spent too much supply on specialist units and not enough on DPS and meat. That style relies on the Protoss getting a bad engagement, at which point you can kill them, but if the Protoss is playing defensively and picking you apart with runbys and warp-prism play, you are forced into a nasty engagement where the Protoss has the upper hand. SC2 is not a game of hard-counters and if you play it like one, you will lose a lot. I don't think terrans are overcommitted to hard counters, they hardly have a choice. If they don't hard counter they're fucked. I'm not sure hard counter is the right word, because it's not like an auto-win like mass mutas vs anion crystal. There are still lots of ways for protoss to win, it just makes it a lot harder when your tech gets countered. The earlier game with Creator and Ryung was a good example. Creator went templar tech so Ryung countered with ghosts, got in the EMP and snipes right before the big engagement, and just destroyed Creator's deathball. Even Crank v Byun, Byun was getting ahead because he was so effective at sniping the templar. But when it came down to the big engagement, I don't know if Byun mismicro'd or what, but he didn't get one snipe off and Crank unleashed like a million storms and evaporated ~70 supply in a heartbeat. If Byun had been as on top of his snipe micro as he had during the whole game I think it would've been a very different outcome. | ||

Better email the sponsors. Oh wait. Actually can I interview you? I find you really interesting. You are the first Australian in the world who can't take a joke. | ||

I'd have good reason to, as a sponsor and marketing manager whereas you are a fan, you do not have any involvement with PRIME. So get over yourself, take a joke and quit whining. This attitude makes esports a dull affair. | ||

Prime should be shit on for sending the same four players over and over. I don't care if they're by far your four best players. When a team knows who your four players are and know that you aren't even going to use a Zerg, they can have a player to snipe Creator and then focus solely on beating up Terran. The other kids on Prime may be green as hell and get their ass kicked, but at least give them booth experience or give them a strategy to bust out. No one knows about these guys, and they could really be an ace up your sleeve with no one having information about them. If they aren't good enough to be brought out for GSTL, then kick them off the team or just put them as practice partners. It might make a bit of sense if they had the four players going out and had all three races represented, but three Terran and a single Protoss? Jeez. | ||

Yeah it seems like if you're sending your best possible lineup and still getting stomped, you might as well send some of your rookies into the booth because that experience is really invaluable. I guess I can't talk too much since I don't know Prime's situation at all, but it seems like strictly a terrible idea to use virtually the same lineup in every match for pretty much as long as I can remember. Hell, they had an almost identical lineup way back when they won GSTL, that's how long it's been. IMO Prime needs to prioritize training the new blood via booth experience, especially if their best possible lineup is already getting beaten (even by NSHS). The fact that Byun seems to be the only Prime player who handled the HotS transition well doesn't help much. | ||

The problem I might see with putting other players, is that actually they do not have strategies to bust out. Look at the quartet which is playing over and over. 3 terrans have similar style of playing, there is no shred of preparation vs. a given team/opponent. They are soooooo predictable. If that is the line of practice the whole team is going with, then I cant see anyone getting sent out instead of the quartet because there is simply no point. | ||
