Their is a reason he is number and to say that he isn't a top 3 player at this moment is foolish to say. My point was that mma aced a tough draw as did life. Yet mma did Mich better . there was no doubt that mma proved he was better than bomber and classic. Life did not do that vs zest and taeja. Zest or taeja were one game away from defeating life. Therefore life was not demonstrating he was the better player due to the fact he played 3-2 twice already. And mma never did once. | ||

Don't use seeding as any kind of indicator of how good each player is. Freaking Hyun had the second overall seed and he was probably the weakest player at the tournament. | ||

Jaedong was why I said probably instead of definitely. It was definitely one of those two that were the weakest players in attendance. | ||

Some stellar reasoning right there. Beating the better players and winning in the finals 1:4 counts for nothing. Our Blizzcon Champion is MMA! | ||

I think it's definitely true that Bomber ranks among the stronger players that made it to Blizzcon, but comparing the beating of him, Classic and Stardust to Zest (triple champion in Korean tournaments this year), San (statistically the best vZ in the world) and Taeja (soO who?) seems like a stretch. Bomber is definitely among the best in the world in TvT, though, I won't deny that. | ||

Saying MMA had a tougher path to the final because he upset the number one seed doesn't mean a damn thing. | ||

Why did mma not adjust to this simple and underwhelming tactic by life. 1. Mma had not faced a zerg yet. And life already faced a top terrain. 2. Not preparation time for either side favored life since he got to taste the strength of a top skilled terrain player. At least this is what I believe. Bomber was the most feared player here. Their is a reason he is number and to say that he isn't a top 3 player at this moment is foolish to say. My point was that mma aced a tough draw as did life.

And when zerg wins despite last patch, basically against the odds, well...........then it's evil brackets and not having enough preparation time that made things imba. But it can't be more skill because terrans are better players. Lmfao | ||

We're not looking for which player is better, we're looking for who's going to win the tournament. Being better as a state of being is boring. You can't be challenged. Winning through small edges over people who are at about the same level as you are is what makes competition interesting. There's a reason why no one would want to watch Zest vs me. | ||
