Inca beating Nada with DTs has to be the most frustrated I've ever been watching professional Starcraft. I thoroughly enjoyed watching Nestea thrash him in the finals. Fucking deprived us of what could have been the best GSL Finals ever.

Yea, that Nestea vs Inca finals really satisfied the inner sadist in me.

4-1 Polt!

I think Hero might cheese him out in 1-2 games...but lets hope it'll be 4-0 polt;)

4-0 is not unlikely, Rain is imo the better player and he beat him.

HerO's cheesebook is way better than Rain who is strongest in standard play.
This could get close but I really want Polt to win because I am super annoyed at HerO and protoss in general.

Even as a terran that game was so annoying to watch. Yes JD had a bad trade at HerO's natural but HerO failed 1st zealot attack, he failed 1st immortal push, in the end it was even 3 base zerg vs. 1 base protoss (until JD's third died) and he still wins because that map + forcefields = immortals with 60 kills.

1. He "failed" the first zealot attack but they traded minerals for minerals so it didn't do too much honestly.
2. He "failed" the first immortal push but once again huge trades and he kept his immortals alive
3. You don't get 60 kills on an immortal without SICK micro with the warp prism. Deserved.

Dude, if you think loading up a unit in a dropship so it doesn't die and forcefielding so that it can never be hit anyway is really hard to achieve, and if a 60 kill count immortal in that scenario really blows your mind, you really have little to no experience or expertise in what you're talking about lol. 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.

So how about you have a 60-kill immortal vs JaeDong? Exactly. Shut up and appreciate HerO or you're just some bitter zerg player?

I'd be more impressed if there was a way for Zerg to fight that push off. But there isn't. The Warp Prism is never in danger of dying.

Except the warp prism did die later to hydras and queens.

I'm glad you think that a warp prism dying after being on the field for 10 fucking minutes means that its killable when it hits. You should boot up a recent soul train and find a game where someone has hydras in time for when it hits

You should go down to a nearby pharmacy and pick up a chill pill.

jaedong is more popular than Hero. And people tend to hate Protoss these days. That is all

Reason surfacing in this thread. It hurts people more that jaedong threw a bit so hero got back in the game

That guy is an idiot for shitting on JD, but seriously you are going to far with the whine today.

Who is whining? I never even mentioned balance in this thread once. I was angry and disappointed that my biggest idol lost in a really stupid way. I thought he played poorly. Get off your high horse, being pretentious doesn't suit you.

Polt is not a knight.

He's a General.

well... allining protosses arent really popular. I think people have a lot of respect for Rain's macro game.

Did you just label HerO an allining protoss? He's been playing SC2 for three and a half years, and you're going to label him as that after just today. Seriously just stop.

Jaedong fans are by far the worst members of the SC community.

All the haters gotta stop calling Team Liquid for Team Taeja. Hero already slapped down Innovation earlier and now EG's best player just got eliminated by Hero as well.

but he only did it by abusing his completely broken race, and the most stupid mechanic of all time, using no skill at all, he was basically afk during the whole thing and should be booted from the team for beating JD....

at least that's what I read in this thread....
