Objectively, his control and decision making was flawless. He ddefintely didn't win just by flipping coins, that is for sure. Now maybe he cannot win a BO5 against Life, especially if PvZ is his worst m-u, I really don't know, but for me his play in this tournament was convincing enough. Let's hope him the best and stay positive please. | ||

Really that stuff doesn't matter at all, his opponents can see all his games when they are not playing.. What gives a fuck really if it's a bo3 vs MMA and then a bo3 vs innovation instead of just a bo5 vs one of them. He has to vary just as much and his opponents have enough information to go on. He just plays well and his strategy decisions work out well, a combination of smart choices and a bit of luck but that's always the case in the buildorder game. He also played some fine standard games, if opponents didn't respect his endgame they would definately not be doing stuff like CC first on a smallish 2p map. I don't consider it a great player from what i've seen yet but just calling it 'bo3 cheesing' is rediculously unfair. Patience is playing very well, no doubt. But I think bo3 increases his chances as benefits him and his style. | ||

ALways one top terran making terran look broken at any given period ^^ Right!?! Don't get me wrong. I love SC. I'm not trying to blow balance issues out of proportion. The game is pretty much so. I just really can't stand Photon Overcharge/MSC. | ||

Not saying this to depreciate, though. He displayed a lot of skill in this tournament. For example, game 1 vs Innovation required great decision making backed up with solid macro and micro which he showed by deciding to abandon his blink all-in and succesfuly transitioning into a macro game. Because the established players are probably better in consistent macro games. Gotta throw them off and do whatever it takes to win rather than letting them play in their comfort zone. | ||

Haters gonna hate, Patience is playing fantastically Probably because we had players like that before. One of them finished last in his group at this Dreamhack. I think he is successful because other players treat him like an experienced pro gamer. Who would go for proxy gate on that map since most players open reaper expand there.. It is 2 player map and your opponent knows where you are so it is very risky to open cc 1st. Innovation was probably thinking he is mind gaming him by going for that build but Patience just flips a coin and does a build regardless of the map. I am not saying he has no talent at all because if he is really playing only for 1 year, even coming here is an achievement, but I think it is more realistic that he will fall off the radar like Stardust than become the next Dear. | ||
