He did and I've said it all along. People were expecting results much too quickly. But if they were to enter Proleague in full force the way they're now? They can beat ANYBODY

I'm mega biased too, so excuse my giddyness :D
"Stomping everyone" winning 2 "big" tournaments (wich arent REALLY THAT BIG) since last year september its not what i would call "stomping everyone"

Bomber doesn't 2 rax much, if at all, does he? I think going into a long macro game is what scarlett wants. Ya sure, goswser played some long games against bomber....but he isn't a 'long game' zerg IMO. He's a oh hey look im going to bust you now zerg.
Scarlet seems to hold her own in these long games where she doesn't get taken aback by early game cheese.
I say 3-2 scarlett. She beat bomber before. Remember that 2-1 a long time ago? She lost the first game because she forgot like 100 lings, then just straight crushed his face twice?

Sure you can turtle up, but if you don't have the bases on your side of the map, then you're in trouble. And nukes force engagements and constant movement. Just watch games like Flash vs PartinG on Daybreak, Happy vs HasuObs on Daybreak, Happy vs San on Star Station. NaNiwa vs. ThorZain, Cloud Kingdom. I can quote games too. :S This argument is pointless.
Your argument is pointless. He said it has no counter, those games proof there is a counter. Yours just shows that the Terran can win with the composition so you miss the point.

Dude hasn't been playing well since Round 4 of PL and he wasn't helping SKT1 either in the clutch. Makes me wonder why they kept sending him out as the last guy.

A lot of KeSPA players trained for 8 years but very few of them get the same sort of skill and results as JD. Yeah, but even the lower tier ones are owning top eSF players in StarCraft 2. Sup? What's your point again? I kinda lost it. My point was that he's not in KeSPA anymore. Whether or not he's KeSPA-trained isn't relevant.
It is relevant because obviously due to his success in Brood War and now StarCraft 2 that he has adapted to the KeSPA training routine, and it has paid off for him. You don't give up 8 years recipe for fame and success just because you've joined a foreigner/ESF team.
KeSPA players are just better most of the time for obvious reasons - they have the best training environment and practices known to eSports.

Cool. So the guy asks about winning Ghosts/Vikings, I give him 3 examples of lategame pro TvP with a successful Tempest transition winning vs Ghosts/Vikings and you reply with a WoL game in which Naniwa played Zealots/Archons/Storm against 30 Ghosts and wondered why it didn't work. I really wonder which one of our posts is "pointless".

Plus even if EG-TL had the same proleague resources as Kespa, they still wouldn't be able to do as well because of commitments to streaming and traveling to foreign tournaments. Also Rain played pretty poorly in these games, especially when he walked into the open with those collosus in game 2.
It wasn't just the format, they were playing worse and worse before proleague started.

Kespa also crushed the qualifiers, Code A and WCG
