Not to jump on the pile here but perhaps you've heard of the Miracle on Ice?

The American team was NOT the better team before that day. But on that day, in that moment, they were the better team.

The better team/player always wins.



I wouldn't say always. A bad bounce here, a bad call there and anything can happen in sports, despite being "better." Sometimes teams win in sports because of officiating, so you can't even say they most "deserving" team even wins always.


Maybe so, but I'm sure you'd also agree that DeathProfessor's analysis of StarCraft competition is a gross oversimplification that doesn't do justice to the overwhelming need for skill and decision making, much like any sport.

He's just angry.

Are there any major league sports where you can "cheese"? It's true that there are risks and gambles that occur in every sport but is there anything comparable to a build order loss? I can't think of a sport where one team/player can make a good guess before the game even starts and just auto-win.

I don't find that funny at all. All he did was cheese and he won.
I never actually watched his stream, but in this video his whole personality seems fake and overblown, he tries too much to be funny.

Yeah, it is probably the only German song that is known outside of Germany. Possibly because of what the song is about, so people prefer not knowing what is being sung

It's his weakest matchup, but he's still fairly good at it. He's not Jaedong though.

No but really I didn't know who he was but thanks he's actually all over youtube.

He's pretty good, listening to their songs in the break right now too. I don't understand a word, but I enjoy it, haha.

Haha I can't even begin to tell you how uniformed you sound (I am refraining form using harsher language). You think in sports the best team always wins??? What universe do you live in?? That is why the games are played and team are not handed the championship at the start of the season because on "paper" they are better. HyuN was favored before the match, and for good reason, he won because of a gamble that Goswser took that did not pay off. Just stop.

Livin' this life like it was written.

In boxing you could sucker punch the guy and get a lucky knockout.
