Yes. Solid player at least makes calculated risks from time to time. Rain only make half-assed ones. | ||

It could have also gone the other way round. "Luck"? that was hardly luck, if you see all the games sOs won, he clearly made JD play what he wanted to play, in fact, he made that in the one he lost, but JD took a chance and build mutas | ||

Thanks to Blizzard, thanks to the players, casters and to TL staff with all the hype through the week. It was the best SC2 event ever. And fuck you whiners, haters and other stupid negative people in this thread. | ||

If people are not entertained, the scene will slowly deteriorate. Now, you can argue what's more entertaining to most people. Hard working people or charismatic people? Or why can't we have both? So WWE is more sustainable than UFC? Many sports have been putting more emphasis on showing personality and interest stories to attract people further. No reason why that's not possible with sc2 players. (Like JD learning to say "the tyrant is coming".) I think sOs showed a lot of personality as he jumped to get his trophy. | ||

I watched every single match of WCS NA and EU this year. But the players with the most of each of the three items I mentioned simply keep not winning. What's the biggest rivalry in SC2? It's not IdrA vs MMA anymore. TL vs EG? They're besties now. When was the last Dynasty? Mvp? Everyone loves jurgen. Lost in RO16. Who was the biggest underdog story? NaNiwa, out in ro16. I'm not hating on sOs, I'm really not. He just doesn't do anything to grow the community. Try explaining him to a new viewer - you can't. He's not the BW god that came to SC2 and continued his legacy. He's not the only foreigner in a Korean-dominated world. He's not the up-and-coming young guy with sick micro. He's not the "new best zerg". He's not the "new best terran". He's not the aggressive Korean Protoss who learned English and has cool ceremonies. He's just some gamer. Wait, so "new best zerg" and "new best terran" are appropriate storylines, but "new best protoss" isn't? What the hell? | ||

In BW, "hard skill" like micro and macro are all that matters. Hence a good player will be good throughout his career. SC2, on the other hand, somewhat focuses on "soft skill" like mind-game and building hard counter armies, which is much more dicey. So a legendary player in SC2 will not stay in legend for long. That's just not even remotely true. BW pros had all sorts of ups and downs. | ||
