Predicting his run will stop in the first BO5 he meets (now) and we will never again hear from this guy. That's just not how you become a S-class player.
So how come no one else was able to do this?
Patience has incredible control and has the perfect responses against players
When he played MMA on akilon, he had stellar stalker control against the hellions/marines in MMAs natural, which not many players can do
Stellar Stalker control? Please...
all pro toss can do this "Stellar Stalker Control" .. what patience do was just actually a correct response which was after bogus deciding to give himself a handicap and throw 4 medivac full of units for free

No one blamed Bogus' loss on Protoss...
yeah .. maybe in the twitch chat .. it was clear that patience won because he did a counter attack after bogus making a ridiculous mistake
Poor Patience, has to have his success blamed on bitter fans.
You mean like when everyone thought Life was a patchzerg?
I think that was a lot different. Life had a completely different playstyle from everything that Zergs were doing at the time.
Patience just looks like another Protoss player. His build selection has been great don't get me wrong, but he isn't doing anything special that we haven't already seen from dozens of other Protoss players.
Life, he looked special from the beginning. He dramatically altered the metagame in a way few could've expected and raised the bar on what was considered a "mechanically sound" Zerg.

That's the definition of "fluke". Play great once for whatever reasons and whichever way, then disappear into nothing.
Captain Fluke already 'sniped' Roro.
So why can't he play great in the future? Did i forget that you can see into the future or something?
He can, but he won't. That's the point of "Fluke". If he does play well again, he no more is a fluke.
This is a pretty good day of SC2. I woke at like 5 a.m. because my sleep schedule is messed up by jet lag and sickness, so I got to see a lot of IEM Singapore and then smoothly moved into DH. Looking at it, I have been watching SC2 for almost 15 hours straight now ...

Whatever. All I can say is, I really hope Life crushes this toss scum.
All that said, try to believe that I've played more SC2 games as Protoss than Terran (WOL era).
The funny/frustrating/unbealivable thing is that Taeja then comes and playes some of the sickest TvP and makes Terran look fucking imba once again. ALways one top terran making terran look broken at any given period ^^

You mean random korean pro. Crazy how so many people seem to can't stand the fact that patience is actually good. You just have to watch the games to see this.

Protoss has a billion openings against T that do damage and require minimal micro. T has zero openings that do damage to P or even come close to ending the game. #factsonly

Patchzerg and Patchtoss etc. are such mean terms. With a single word you're both balance whining and undermining the player's achievements.
Was wondering when "patchtoss" would show up in a the thread. I think one tournament is not the way to make any kind of crazy decisions about skill. It could just be the time for Patience to break out and throw his hat in the ring of the next Protoss election.
Will have to wait until we see how things go next year before you start going all whinge on things.

And that's why none of you get buffs. Cause of ppl like Taeja and Mvp.
