She race picks Terran and Zerg because she said her Protoss isnt good enough to play all out Random. It is allowed in WCS.

Well they said that yer, but I think she doesn't really play protoss well, even if she sometimes plays random. But when you mention it though, all of Capoch builds seemed quite general with 2x gw first and 3rd game was early scout into nexus first, so... maybe I'm wrong. Thought it was race picking though, but if she was playing random that makes me feel better, since I was not happy with race picking mid series

Edit: i thought for sure on the map she did the tank push they were talking about players playing random, and that she is the only one trying to do it right now, they even talked about some korean who used to do it back in the start of sc2, again i might be wrong

Being able to get your tweets shown on these streams is such a small thing but, apparently vain as I am, it really adds to my enjoyment (mine was about wondering who would go on to face DeMusliM next round, although I'm not sure he'll be super terrified either way at the moment...)

also remember when she tried to go hatch first? im pretty sure she tried that because when she plays on ladder she can hatch first alot because random lets you do that. she probably tried doing it no matter what because thats what she is used to, but thats just speculation

GuMiho is the only player to even qualify for the GSL as a random player, which he did in the open seasons, but he lost in round 1. He went on to switch to terran and became a badass. The other two were GuineaPig for MVP and Superstar for StarTale, both of which only played random in the GSTL. GuineaPig qualified for at least 1 open season of GSL but he was only playing Protoss at the time, I believe.

didn't capoch forge expand game 3? pretty sure that kills the 'she played random' idea. i could be wrong though, was only half paying attention at start.

I think criticizing a game is fine, but a lot of people just straight up insult the players saying they don't deserve to be as far as they are, which is very disrespectful. There are such things as bad games or a bad day

If you read Tilea's getting to know WCS America players interview she says she race picks between Z and T so there was no chance of PvP http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=412444
I currently play Terran / Zerg for MYi.
I pick whatever I feel most comfortable with at the time which can vary depending on a lot of factors. The map pool available, what I know of my opponent's play-style, how well I've been performing with either race on ladder recently, which race I personally feel like playing at that time, etc. Sometimes the race I feel most comfortable with shifts during a series. among other things

I've been using this ID in every forum for more than 6 years. Surely I'm not Kitty fan; I'm monkey fan.

Sigh, this was somehow not the direction I was meaning to go. I never intended to be critical or wanted to be critical, even though I realize it is allowed. Can we just all get back to the fact that HelloMonkey is quite clearly HelloKitty's account (still a joke).

Shoot, my big reveal was all for naught. I thought I was on to something here.

Honestly these cheese-heavy matches are featured in relatively low-skilled(Code A and one level below code a) matches. They're rarely seen in Code S since it's hardly to win top players.

HK going to 3 bases like a boss in two games now.
