If Pigbaby and ForGG win WCS AM and EU we get those two instead of Jaedong and Inno. I would not like that, even if it would be well deserved of course. Doesn't seem unlikely at all.

how about "i outperformed 99% of the rest of my league four times in a row"?
And u're aiming for the very top, during year and 3 months I belive. And u lost ur first foreigner tournament in finals straight forward, what if u are cursed forever to be second?
if you think second place at the highest level of competition is bad or a curse then you just have a stupid mindset
When the pressure gets to you, over and over, in the same way, it does have a negative effect on you :\
if you have a poor competitive mindset, sure
No, if you lose five finals in a row while being the best player in the world for at least 2 of them, it hurts you no matter what. There is no competitor who wouldn't be hurt by that.
nah
Do you compete in anything yourself? I feel like there is often a disconnect between people who watch pro players lose in high-stakes situations that think "Well, at least he got there! He should be happy!" and the competitors themselves. Losing is tough, in finals (repeatedly) especially so.
if you cant handle losing you have an emotional problem you should fix

I just need to be reminded how to beat it
help please? :/
Find a VOD of someone 2raxing Life
I said without terran screwing up...
Pull 4 drones, make sure none of them die, send 2 to make spine crawlers/3 if they pull scvs make a queen and some lings don't be afraid to sac the hatch in exchange for a massive flood of lings to instantly win the game, dont be afraid to run lings past to cut off the marines being made
ok what if the terran invests just enough to kill the hatch and then goes full eco mode like forgg did vs snute in their series?
Zerg will have no drones, only 1 hatch, tons of lings and terran goes 3cc behind supply depot wall?
Define just enough, like did he make 4 marines and float his racks back to his base or what?
forgg made like 8marines and kept pumping scvs back at home all the time

A bunch of similar situations. Basically the wrong two people have to win WCS EU/AM- ForGG/Bunny and Scarlett/Pigbaby/HerO.

Jaedong does not deserve to go to Blizzcon this year.
There I said it.
I'd seriously rather have either of those guys, OR Snute over Jaedong.
