It's really easy and if it impresses you it's only relative to your own skill, rather to anything that impresses anyone GM+, or for many masters players. Seriously, Blizzard's own micro challenges are even harder than that. It's a two base all in, it's old and it's what protoss players do all the time. A career pro like herO not fucking up so badly that he lets his immortals die completely unecessarily is really a matter of expected and basic competence than it is any kind of 'incredible feat' from which we may derive a sense of 'deserves to win' based on a 'display of skill'. TBH, herO has first class micro but nothing about executing that all-in will ever demonstrate that lol. Spoken like a true armchair general. Holy crap. | ||

Alright so now I won't be furious if HerO wins due to abusive PvT. As much as I want HerO to win another title (he is one of my favorite Protoss players) I'd hate to see Polt get cheated out of a ticket to the big tournament on account of that. He's played some absolutely incredible Starcraft all weekend. | ||

This is the Blizzcon finals all over again. Yeah, it'd be nicer if this whole kong thing stuck and everyone could laugh happily about that. | ||

He thinks so you don't have to. #Terran Revolutionist I don't think he'll revolutionize anything , but i do like his 3 rax opening after reaper expand . It feels safe at least at defending a lot of the shit protoss can throw at you and sets you up for an aggressive mid game . | ||

That was more a problem of decision making than micro. Beside flanking, zerg cant really micro against this all-in. But sacking a good part of his army supply for 2 gateways, engaging off creep, that was huge mistakes. Not patient enough | ||

 Polt would be great but hero hasn't won something big for so long. As long as the final is not a dud, I'm fine | ||

Shut up and appreciate HerO or you're just some bitter zerg player? | ||

This is the Blizzcon finals all over again. If hero didn't 4gate/cannon rush every game except the one jaedong 6 pooled on people might respect the result a bit more. A 15 minute 'all in' sure makes people happy though thats for sure | ||
