is this the first time you see someone with a lower ranked playing better than a higher ranked player?

I will let you know when its the first time I see a relatively unknown GM Terran compete toe to toe in macro games against a Code S Zerg

and I think SuperNovA played well. Just because in your head biomine takes no skill and your completely delusional view on the match up, you misjudge the game by a ton. Muta/ling/Bane is very viable, you just also have to be good and as we can see, a seemingly EU player can compete with a code S terran. Hardly a balance issue if you ask me.

You mean when Sjow (who didn't do shit since like forever) kicked Life's ass?

Koreans don't play their best in foreign tournament. Supernova is playing WAY better in GSL and Sc2 is really volatile.

Great game

Yeah, i find it funny how everyone always forgets Sjow, who was knocked out of WCS Qualifiers by toss each time and won Bo3 against Life is irrelevant, when some GM zerg gets a close game against Code A(No guys, being in GSL Ro32 is not being Code S terran, especially if you get knocked out in Ro32) terran.

Your point is not valid

! Terran vs Zerg was supposed to be imbalanced so a foreign Terran beat a Korean Zerg was called out for that imbalance.

Now it still stands that Terran vs Zerg is imbalanced, but why can a EU grandmaster with the disadvantageous race in ZvT beat a code-S veteran

? Good you brought that up, so I could shoot it down immediately

Edit: and I agree, great game

Because SuperNova is not true Code S terran NOW, but just happened to get in it on the back of his OSL perfomance last season. Bang!

Heard it first on TL. Being in GSL Code S 12 times and being in the ongoing Code S tournament DOES NOT... i repeat, does NOT make you a Code S player.

Heard it first on TL. robson1 does not understand sarcarsm :D

Someone Called Supernova a code A terran and he meant it.

it's funny btw. how Code A terran is an insult, seeing as most Code A players could easily be Code S champions with a good run behind them :D

not really an insult, just stupid, as supernova is one of the most code s'esiest terran that ever code s'd

:D

Not in HotS, i repeat. In WoL i admit, he was one of most consistent players in Code S there were. In HotS... Well, he was in Code B IIRC at start of season 1, got into OSL for season 2, hellbat dropped and scv pulled his way to Ro8 (can't blame him for that) and got thrown out of Ro32 this season by Dear. We shall see next year.

Yeah, except RO8, recently (how does not matter and never will), and almost nestea award code s in WOL. It's safe to refer to him as code s, and stupid to call him anything but.

That was a brutal attack gg Dimaga. What exactly was "special" about this attack? I know he morphed a bunch of overseers sneakily with his push is that just for soaking mine hits? Was it just ling/bane or did he have some other units? Really nasty timing.

to bad there were only 4 mines on the map

Good idea though.

More Mines mean more dead Marines, so good thing he had only 4. Overseers have now the perfect speed for that.

yes overseers to soak minehits. He didnt need that though, there were like 3 mines, overseers were redundant.

the overseers where not necessary at all, the 2-2 baneling bust auto-wins vs standard play. Flash needs 8-9 bunkers with depotbuffert, defend the attack and then win!
