He literally took out the 3 guys that 6 months ago would have been viewed as the best of every race and he did it in dominant fashion.

About some things. Based on the power ranking JD shouldn't have lost in the ro16.

taeja played some stellar games and deserved the victory. sad for jd and stardust too, i think stardust would ve had a good showing if he hadnt faced welmu in pvp, matchup can be random and welmu is pretty good at pvp. overall the last day and the "live" games were pretty good, first day of this dreamhack was pretty shitty for me thou, kinda felt like an iem O.o

My guess is SC2 is simply too volatile.


Yet not volatile enough for them to win something.

Sorry, but I hate volatility as an excuse for players not dominating. If sc2 wasn't "volatile" then Flash would probably be even lower again, since the top players would just stay there.

In fact, the results here are some of the least volatile. Life was the only shocker for me. I think people might have been able to predict such a bracket pretty handily.

i have seen a documentary about the creation of SC2 where it was about... hmm well dustin browder or so saying they want to keep a lot of randomness in SC2. He meant more the gameplay I guess, but anyways it feels like in opposite to sc: bw you can see a lot more often that the person who is behind all game, and lost more, still wins because of 1 error of opponent.

In BW it felt more like you really have to be better and constantly better in every way throughout a map/game/match as the opponent, in SC2 sometimes randomly picking/hiding builds or units or whatever is much more important and does deal much more damage to opponent than such a surprise would have done in BW.

I absolutely loved watching that game as well, until the player who was clearly playing better ended up losing on one mistake.

LOGIC!


Stupid logic.

He lost two maps each, but he played three times as many Koreans, so foreigners are now officially 300% as good as Koreans.

MATH!

He's gotten to code S Ro16 three times in a row now. How would less volatility adversely affect him?

I don't think there is a player that can be described as the 'Best' right now

I do think that in specifics math-ups you can determine a leading player for example

in TvZ - innovation is clearly the best while in TvT - Bomber is the best and in TvP Taeja is the best

Innovation was not the best Terran 6 months ago.

Neither was sOs.

The only problem with that statement is that most people can't point out what the game costing mistake actually was. It only appeared that MMA was playing better.
