And it's not like sOs plays in every foreign tournament :p Dunno about respect, i'm ok with being fan of sOs, he might be hated by blind community, but it's smartest player i've seen since Bisu.
Sos is a baller, man, I love the guy :D

I don't quite remember all the game of today, but I am incorrect when I say that that SoS had a 100% win rate when he opened with canon rush?

Inb4 MC wins first GSL of LotV and just retires.

Yes, you're wrong.
And he's sOs.

You will enjoy so many more games once you realize that "abusing" is actually a good thing to do.

To me yes, in an era with tons of identikit Protoss it's nice to see people with different approaches.

hah, no way. Zerg has mutas, free units and tech switching frenzy. I really hate that race and the same you guys want to redesign Protoss I want to redesign zerg too. Even though it won't happen(nor of it).

We are going to have some Protoss royalroader anyways. Or Zest or Rain or herO or Parting or Classic.
Oh wait, I'm doing this wrong. "1 big Protoss name down, only 5 remain. ZvP now officially unwinable!"

Jokes aside.
SKT and Samsung kept 100% of their Code S players, transitioning them to Ro16, it's 10 in summary.
Also there are 2 JinAir guys right now, Startale's one, KT Rolster's one and tomorrow we can get first IM guy, Acer, CJ or YoeFW. Might be disaster for IM - starting with 5 and most likely lose everyone if Squirtle doesn't evolve on Friday to Wartortle at least, not speaking about Blastoise.
And if we don't get all-Zerg group in Ro16 with like Life, soO, Soulkey and Solar, i guess one of those 4 will win whole thing.
Protosses won't win with this map pool, InNoVation isn't same robot and Maru will lose to Zerg.

MC might win a GSL but your crazy if you think he will ever retire

You're going to have to rewrite this without the sarcasm because I have no idea what point you're trying to make here.

But none of this is relevant to whether you should or shouldn't abuse your race.

It isn't abuse - it is use. You play the game to win, If something is effective you 'use' it, you don't 'abuse' it. A bug is something you can abuse, just normal strategies aren't :O

Dont get it either. Toss in general is least fun to watch. To me, even playing is less fun, as there isn't that much to do as compared to zerg(injects, creep, harassement(runbuys or muta micro). or terran(micro, make buildings and simcity, constant harassement, lresplitting or seaching forward etc.) With toss it always feels like make one army and babysit it till you go. But that wasnt true today, as we have seen tech switches, multi harassement and some micro. Although not enough, cause otherwise shine wouldn't have been at the final BO3
