Is that what this tournament was supposed to be about? A Terran fighting the odds against racial balance to beat players at the top tier level of game play and show the world that Terran can do it? It just feels shoehorned and contrived to me. | ||

I'm pretty sure this tournament was supposed to be a gift from god(red bull) to polt, bomber and violet. | ||

It does not mean each of the staff members agree with the article...Stuchiu is allowed to complain about what he wants because he never said he agreed with the editorial. | ||

I think Day9 just jumped at the chance to say "See? Terran ISN'T weak!" But honestly, what non-Terran really threatened Polt or Bomber in this tournament besides Violet? Nobody was even close, there wasn't even a "faceless korean protoss/zerg" as some people might call them. The only dark horse that was around was probably ToodMing. | ||

It's silly to complain about the casters following the narrative that the largest starcraft 2 hub has put out for everyone to see. | ||

It's silly to complain about the casters following the narrative that the largest starcraft 2 hub has put out for everyone to see. You still haven't shown why it's silly. Considering the player strength in this particular tournament, it's not even an honest narrative. | ||
