You need to consider some other factors for the tournament.

More days tournament means more costs, just the way it is

Not really, 4 days was too stretched in many IEMs, this one is just exceptionell because a lot of series went the full distance.

I think the mods put me on time-out like 2-3 times during the brood lord/infestor days. I was a very angry camper during that dark time.

So, why is being able to draw a game which you've lost, when no other race can do that, fair.

But something like 'cheese' is not?

It seems abusing something 'retarded' is fine as long as it's not Protoss.


The difference is that the lift "problem" is a problem every 5000 games.


Completely irrelevant.

Where is the consistency here? Every race has something retarded about it, yet people only complain when Protoss does it.

Just look at the replies to this thread after the game that was drawed, compared to...well any single game that Protoss has won this tournament (including the ones where they completely outplayed the opponents).


Protoss is the Winning Race right now, Go back a 6 Month and people pooped on Zerg and before that it was Terran. Welcome to the Winners Circle! :D


Oh man I remember when people hated Mvp.Sniper more than they hated hitler, or some guy who stole their girlfriend, or hitler after he stole their girlfriend


Ah yes the patchzerg times. Man that was an entertaining period. I always wonder if people would view that period differently if Hyun had won that GSL, considering his continued success. Because man did Sniper not look the part of a champion. Honestly, a lot of the Zergs who broke out during that time (Symbol, Life, Hyun, Byul, Scarlett) have since established themselves as pretty legit far beyond that patch. Weird thinking about that now.

there were a lot more zergs who broke out during that time that aren't as relevant these days, especially a lot of euros


Dunno if I'd agree with that. The main ones that I can think of that suddenly became irrelevant come HotS were Slivko and Jonnyrecco.

The ones that really ignited the whine such as Vortix, Nerchio, and Snute have continued to thrive.


Nerchio and Snute "existed" before the term patchzerg was even created.. not sure about Vortix though... but he fell off the grid in Hots. I dont remember the last time I saw him on any bigger tournament.


I know, but I feel like they really came to be recognized for their skill during that BL/Infestor era which was perceived to be the reason for their sudden burst in ability. Both for winning HSC (also a sick IEM run from Nerchio).

I am literally hitler bro.

I'd just like to point to everyone that I in no way sympathize with Hitler and I DO NOT THINK WW2 WAS FUNNY.

If you have a bigger scene there will be more break-out performances.
