Are you trying to tell me that Sergiy Stakhovsky is an overall better tennis player than Federer?

What point?? Not one thing in that post was correct.

Does the better team always win? No.

Did goswser loose because of luck or because he didn't have his greedy gamble pay off?? C'mon...

JD ZvP is like 50%, and StarDust is pretty good.

Probably another 2-1.


TLPD's JvP win percentage does not accurately portray the absolutely deplorable trainwreck that is JvP due to padded stats against extremely weak foreign opponents.


That's exactly what I was saying. Still expecting JD to take a game, but lose the series though.

So much pain and anger ROFL

Teams and players give surprises all the time in sports what are you talking about

i wonder if DeathProfessor would say the same thing if Gosuuser went for 3 hatch before pool.... Greed gets punished. if you are not able to defend a highly possible opening why taking such bad risk ?

Competition is only fun with the factor of randomness and variability. If the better player on paper always won, there would be close to no point in competition. In StarCraft, having the variable of cheese is what keeps the game from being stale and static.


If anything, you figure out the better player by competition. Without it there would be no metric of who is better or not and no variability in the system.

The age of Soulkey, you heard it here first :p

Soulkey's become the new Symbol. He's the best Zerg in the world, but no one notices because "OMG RAIN" or "OMG INNOVATION." It's amusing.

Soulkey IS good. He just doesn't get many good opponents to show off his skill lately, though.

Soulkey is the strongest defensive/reactive Zerg, right now.

One thing to note about JvP, he seems to get in winning position every game but then take bad decision and lose his whole army or make a questionable basetrade...

Its not like hes getting outplayed, I think JvP will be his strongest matchup eventually.


Hehe that's what makes his zvp kinda bad is he plays it good to a point, then he just goes and does one of the worst decisions you could possibly make. I really hope he fixes that problem soon because it's so painful to see him in a game that the only way he wins is if he does x, and then he goes and does it to lose the game T_T.
When I think of something else, something will go here

In every sport there is a portion of luck involved. Goswser was incredibly greedy in that final game, and he got punished for it. SC2 needs cheese to make it exciting and diversify the builds. If cheese wasn't viable then the meta-game would stale really fast.

When their favorite gets knocked out many do.
Of course when it happened to YugiOh it was the best display of skill.
