It could have also gone the other way round. In broodwar, zergs could cheeze, Terrans could bunker rush and Protoss had the ability to do cannon rushes too. SoS was going to fight with everything he had. Cheeze and all | ||

Jaedong is now the MOST CONSISTENT PLAYER OF 2013. Getting to FIVE FUCKING FINALS IN A YEAR. Maybe he didn't win them, but that's still pretty fucking incredible eh? EDIT: News check for JD fans, he's fine. he's not slumping. just keep having faith, he'll win titles | ||

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. It's like people think sOs is Jon Fitch or something | ||

He says he liked his play but couldn't care? I thought there was a correlation to enjoying someone's play that's entertaining and caring. He's done that strat before several times. I'm amazed Jaedong didn't try to take a base there, lol. I can tell these guys never followed PL or else they would know. They also know a lot of the current players who play protoss are borrowing several pages from this guy and that is why I declare him, THE INNOVATOR OF PROTOSS VIOLENCE. We can go down the line with HerO's warp prism play, PartinG's Soul Build, MC's wraith, etc. Anyway, I'm getting used to it. People in Toronto went crazy for Soulkey as well (lots of zerg fans) and Dear had a very small army. I'm glad all my boys are doing well. I'm a fan of Jaedong, Soulkey, Dear, sHy, etc. In fact, there are very few players I don't like. If they cannot get excited because a player is entertaining them then I don't know what else to say, lol. | ||

I really think that SC2 production has been somewhat stale for a long time, with only the ESL crew really pushing for some new stuff. As an overall "broadcast" experience I thought they could have done a lot more... :/ Might just be because you do not follow SC2 that much. I don't really follow MOBAs, but tried to tune in some to TI3 because friends were raving about it. I found the casting... awkward and the production to be solid, but not amazing. If I knew more about MOBAs / followed the scene more closely I might feel different. I think the production for this was spot on except for the super awkward ending. I just happened that the semi-finals (IMO) involved much better games than the finals. | ||

it's literally the same thing every time, it devolves into people repeating how it's just "their opinion" that a player is "uninteresting" as an excuse to shit up threads for pages and pages and pages i have absolutely no problem with a person making one post to say "meh, not a fan of this guy, don't know much about him, would have preferred jaedong," but it's hard to deny that there's a recurring pattern of people who just come in and do this all the time to bait out arguments about who's enough of a special korean snowflake to deserve tournament wins | ||
