He should have stop making so many thors when the muta switch was over. This pretty much. I am surprised that so many people blame Vipers, when in fact Flash played quite poorly. There's the same reaction every single time a favored terran player loses, how can you be surprised^^ It's not just when fan favorite terran players lose, it's from all races. You were trying to point out people crying IMBA and then you basically cried IMBA I think toss fans tend to cry the quietest, though. That might be confirmation bias. No I agree we're the most dignified fans. Toss fans are just better. Yeah never were there any tears about "Butbut we haven't won a GSL since way the hell back when" Eh... I've mostly seen that in response to people complaining about race distribution or toss winning games.
Is retaliatory complaining a thing?

Well when someone wins a game that they really wouldn't have if Mech wasn't so freaking awful in SC2 then maybe I wouldn't be complaining. He couldn't split up his army to defend his bases due to the fact tanks are god damned terrible and it means the zerg can just run around you for free all game long just killing bases you can't defend with anything. They then force it to a low econ game despite being hugely behind and just win with vipers. Without the vipers Curios was down and dead long before. He played whack-a-mole thanks to the immobility of mech and completely abused the fact you can't defend your bases with anything or your army gets rolled over. I'm not sure what's so great about that. It's like winning a kick-boxing match against a man with no legs and claiming an amazing victory. It was pretty amazing. I just think thanks to the handicap Flash set himself by going mech, that pretty much any pro-zerg player could have won from that situation. Curious really didn't do anything all that amazing, his entire victory revolved around him keeping 4 units alive, which as casters really isn't all that difficult. Curious survived a death push early on after an early deficet with patience. He saw an army that he couldn't fight push at him after it was 3 base vs 3 base and he sacced his natural and his main to give himself a fighting chance. (An example of his brilliant decision making and Flash's bad one - he should have chased down the army). Flash made the mistake of not getting a second reactor starport and pumping vikings, but thats on him not Curious.
Maybe my judgement is being blinded by being constantly shat on for wanting mech to actually be viable in SC2 as well as being a massive Flash fanboy who's upset that he can't seem to show his true potential in SC2 (which is also probably down to the fact his mech was so amazing to watch in BW) and I'm sorry if it is, but I really disagree with you. Even with a second starport there's very little Flash could have done to kill the vipers. Most of the vikings would either get abducted or killed by the hydras as the vipers retreated.

Aren't they sort of like Merry and Pippin from Lord of the Rings? You know they're in the Fellowship, you know they do stuff and maybe some of it sorta mattered but half of the time you struggle to remember what their thing is, what they look like or what they're doing.
I know that it makes no sense for EG to be the Fellowship.

Ooooh, that is really good. I like that. Not only are they replacements for random tournaments, they're replacements for previous players on the EG roster.
They're also replacements for other players in blizzcon thanks to their free points!
Thanks Jim - EG

it seems San often goes for oracle first in PvZ, but I've never seen him do a ton of damage with it (except that one game where he killed Life)

Alive and Revival did some relatively cute Proleague video I guess... I suppose that's kind of like hanging out with treemen.

Revival simply can't handle San's manhood.

Man, I never realized it, but sOs is one handsome fella.

This new Oracle play that people are doing for anti-ling defense and offense is just sheer brilliance.
