Ouch.... that hurt..

I am not sure what is worst.. Naniwa out or the cheesing no name Korean keeps wining game after game.



Please tell me how finale aka duckdeok is a no name? That no name Korean was in Code S too.


results speak for themselves

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Duckdeok/Results

One brief Code S appearance, and a top 16 at NASL season 4

He is not a no-name, people know who Finale is if they've watched GSTL and GSL.

If name is based off results like he said, wouldnt that make nearly every foreigner a no name?

I.... I guess so.

I think it exposes how ridiculous it is for people to say people are known by results alone. FFS, only one guy can win every tournament. It's not like there's one a week and it's common to be a champion.


Basically it's claiming that a "no-name" Korean = Hasn't won a GSL/ MLG/ DH, which is hilarious because those Koreans can still beat the best (let alone the average) foreigner.


Yeah that is probably the main reason for the decline of SC2 as e-sport.


I hear there's a tombstone already picked out for e-sports.


Well the other games seems to being doing okay. No of course SC2 is not going die completely but I honestly think that KESPAs movement into SC2 in a long term perspective will cause a dramatic reduction in the amount of people watching SC2.

Korea was already heavily dominating before, now they started to dominate twice as hard and that was the last thing SC2 needed. Not only do we have a situation where 95 out of the 100 best players are from one country which of course is terrible thing on it own. However to make things even worse have 90% of these players almost no means for connecting to an audience outside of Korea.

Not only do they have a introverted/none public personalities but are also close none exclusively monolingual, only communicating in a language that extremely few people outside of South Korea understand.

So yeah, it is just bad all around for SC2 as a whole.

Why does he not take his third while making colossi? Is it weak to this style, or has it just fallen out of favor lately?

Rooting for Grubby really hard here, but I dunno... this game, if could have been any PvZ from two years ago. SC2 getting really stale these days.

You realize there's a whole lot of games other than SC2, DotA2 and LoL right?

VortiX's style contrasts with most other Zergs I've seen recently playing against an early Protoss third. While most play for the late-game with +1 Missile Attacks early and going for a fourth with Hive, VortiX prefers the aggression, which I like to see.

Hm, I don't like that expansion from Grubby. Very hard to defend in the early midgame against roach/ling/hydra, very hard to defend in the lategame against swarmhosts.

Clearly WCS EU players are afraid SC2 is dying, so they are keeping the games short so they finish before TI3 begins.
Also, sorry WCS AM.

On topic - Vortix is too strong, I don't think Grubby can win the series with standard play.
