Probably the same people being mad at Hyun yesterday. This is the way, the game mechanics work, if ToD plays Halluc he probably wins. I find it fair, that Happy won a game, he did´nt deserve to win, after he lost a game, he deserved to win yesterday. | ||

When you have all the timing in the world it does look bad. There is always going to be pressure to win no matter the scenario but that was a pretty ugly derp. Exactly. Losing all 3 nexi was really bad, but Tod wasn't controlling the pace then. At the end, he was controlling the pace of the game, and he had sentries. He needed to think instead of bull-rushing in. | ||

Of course there were ways for Tod to win that game. With zero pressure, he would have won it. But pressure has an effect on you that most people on TL seem to not understand. It bothers me to no end. I think it was a cascade of awful decisions and plays by ToD. First he managed to lose 3 Nexus in one swing, how the fuck is this possible in that situation? Then he does not kill neither the CCs nor the Starport: ofc the most important structures in a basetrade. He never used charge the whole game. If he used it just in one crucial situation, he would´ve tipped this game to a victory for sure! He allways threw away his phoenixes. 2 Phoenixes would´ve made such situations impossible! It really took a lot of mistakes by ToD together to lose this game and he made sure to hit all of them. And that´s why people shit on him. It´s not that he made a single mistake out of nervousness, he made a shit ton of mistakes in a row to throw a clearly won game! | ||

It should be the admin's decision. It's extremely cruel to ask the player "Hey, do you want the free win or not?" or "Do you want to award the game to the opponent or not?". Either they lose in-game or they lose in PR. You should never force the player to make the decision. | ||

Happy counter dropped and killed all of ToD's nexuses right after ToD recalled. Happy got 3 vikings out and flew his CC to the corner. ToD didn't have enough minerals to rebuild a nexus. 3 vikings killed ToD's 2 Void Rays forcing a draw because ToD had no way to kill Happy's floating buildings | ||

One player makes huge mistakes because of not being able to handle the pressure: thats bad. Deal with it. There is a difference between accepting that a played didn't play well and saying something like this + Show Spoiler + On November 17 2013 02:23 Bagration wrote: So fucking bad.

Absolutely brainless, like an AI I mean, it's not like it's wrong, but it's certainly not fully taking into account the kind of pressure you're under when you're playing for money in a tournament setting. | ||
