If a race is at an obvious disadvantage, coaches would just choose to not send that race out, instead of sending them out to die. The format makes it so that race imbalance leads to that race not getting matches. (The BW map Central Plains is an especially hilarious example of this). It's more interesting IMO to look at what players actually do get sent out. Out of the 411 games in that list, there were 392 protosses, 203 terrans, and 199 zergs. Clearly, KeSPA coaches think protoss is strong, or they wouldn't be sent out in almost as many games as the other two races combined. | ||

It was probably good it ended early. If Flash had really played solid macro, the supply difference and skill gap would be even more apparent, more drawn out, and more painful to watch. | ||

It was a cheeky proxy marauder, but I wouldn't say it was a blatant cheese (e.g. proxy 2-rax), so I don't see why people are dissing Flash. In fact, it seemed rather defensible had Major not been so greedy himself, and I think Flash himself was surprised how greedy Major was and how he eventually dealt so much damage. It was probably good it ended early. If Flash had really played solid macro, the supply difference and skill gap would be even more apparent, more drawn out, and more painful to watch. No one's actually angry at Flash lol Everyone knows it was a courtesy game and there was little chance of Major winning Everyone just feels bad for Major, that he didn't get to have more time on TV and at least try to impress. That's life! | ||

That's life! Some people were kinda sore, in the LR. Anyway, Major should feel happy. Like what someone said in the other thread, it was an honour playing against Flash in SPL. A parallel example is football - Tahiti in the Confederations Cup. They had just been battered by Spain, the reigning World and European champs, 10-0 in the last game. Were they sad? No way! It was the game of their lives, an experience they will regale to their kids and grandkids in years to come. Every sport should have a "Cool Running" underdog story. It's great drama and history. | ||

 Someone is really mad that flash destroyed Major? Sheesh, it's no practice game, of course you'd play your best to win. | ||

Yeah, but a screw didn't come loose in Major's booth causing it to fall apart forcing Major to hold the booth up with one hand while he finished the game with his other. | ||

Funny, but it seems that even in BW, Proleague is full of Protoss. There were a lot of zergs qualifying in the individual leagues, a terran would win the individual league titles often, but protoss would still dominate Proleague. | ||
