No GSL spoilers please, some of the people tuning in to HSC did not have the chance to watch GSL yet |

A lot of people make the nonsensical argument revolving around there being so few successful random players, when no one mentions that hardly anyone plays random (there's probably a lot more people map hacking, yet they wouldn't win GSL's either). O, and if you mention that, people would argue that it's too hard to learn random. Frankly, I wouldn't play random because it's close to cheating. And, playing both sides of a mu, actually accelerates your understanding by so much.
And, in a mirror mu, you get to play with a mineral advantage from the get go. People give random players way too much credit. I don't see how you could ever consider a random player an underdog if they have pro level skill, unless they have 1 race that is not at a pro level.
It's a pet peeve. Random has always bothered me more than anything else in the game balance wise. I'd rather play a hacker than a random player. Honest to god.

I think Balloon is going to break the meta, and play reaper marine. XD

If this is even close I'll be surprised. Balloon's ability to perform well in KR GM is almost all on his P and Z play

That is one impressive french accent. Reminds me of Peter Sellers in the Pink Panther. It's a bömb!

If Bomber goes with 2 tanks before stim is done this is super hard to hold for Balloon.

His opener got countered and countered badly. Bomber's bio micro eclipsed Balloon's by a mile.

Hope we don't get another TvT. That was Balloon's best..

On a two player map, I start a game at a disadvantage vs a random player. The game stays even vs a map hacker far longer. I'll take a decent start. I can find ways to scout.

Yup zerg clearly OP

Though I like Balloon I hope Bomber can pull it back and win, then ToD can advance!
