Game has nearly perfect balance right now.


SC2 is considered balanced until a fan favourite loses...than it's a broken game

You are not a hypocrite because of that, whether you like someone and dislike another needs not be dictated by logic.

Maybe also becuz he beats fan favorites making people who hate those fan favorites (who actualy hate their fans) like him, while some of the fans of the fan favorites start to cheer for him since they hope he will do to others at some tournament finals what they did to their fan favorite.

Nah, people like sOs cuz he's cute
But more seriously I like him because he plays really differently from other players, invented a lot of strategies and prepares his game plan not for race but for playstyle of his opponent which is really interesting how he can dismantle them. Also, as all Jin Air players, sOs just doesn't give a fuck
JAGW fighting!
btw 7/8 predictions! :D

Flashhhhhh noooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOooooooo

Really wanted Flash vs Fantasy T_T

Oh well, I guess we get to watch Trap get schooled in the next round and at least the Protoss fans will (temporarily) be happy.

all the hate towards trap is so weird, he played pretty well, his micro is generally very on point and his plans are quite smart, definitely deserves the win and good luck to him vs fantasy

The mystical flash fans are butthurt (also, salt from terrans because they totally lose to the stuff Flash lost to on ladder).


No, it's just the display of the most broken Protoss shit we are all witnessing for the last past few years. All-ins and abusive strategies and such.. Trap won 3 games with 1-base bullshit and Flash won 2 macro games I believe (I might be wrong, getting a bit drunk). Of course, people are full of hatred, because this is exactly what is killing this game. Feel free to flame me.

You are not getting a bit drunk. You are high as fuck. Because. Trap won a game 1 with 1-base bullshit, lost game 2 in macro bullshit due to a missed doom drop and only that, won a game 3 in... can we call it a macro game i guess?, lost a game 4 with 1 base bullshit and won game 5 off of brilliant mindgame by faking out a 2 base all-in and replacing it with actually strong timing, that only became stronger due to how scared of 1 base bullshit Flash was by the game 5.

Really annoyed with the Flash vs Trap series for 2 reasons.

1: Trap played super cheesy, which is annoying to begin with as a Terran myself and a fan of Flash, but he won the only game where he didn't do something like that, while failing with the weird/cheesy builds twice meaning he's wasting his talents with Protoss bullshit that's not even successfull half the time.

2: Flash should never have lost on Catallena, he threw that.

In general I'm glad though, because it shows that Flash is on the right track to getting back in form in general (even though he, by no means, played well/cleanly in this series overall). Now I'll spend the remainder of IEM Katowice cheering on a few other players.

Such an undeserving win for Trap. Abusing the most out of his race. I hope he gets kicked out of the tourney by Fantasy.

Today is my birthday and your present to me is your delicious salty tears


There are no tears. I'm just mad at the game design where you can abuse lots of builds which are easier to execute than to defend.

Yeah WM and doom drops are so easy to execute and abusive...oh wait you were talking about protoss

The Patience games were really, really bad. That's all you need to know about that. Solar vs Bbyong was one sided aswell, Solar took one map with a cheesy build and got rekt by hellions and hellbats in the following games. Cure vs herO was pretty entertaining IMO. Until Cure lost 4 full medivacs in herO's base on Deadwing he looked great.

Trap vs Flash was kinda cheesy (not completely unentertaining, but some stuff was stupid). 1st game Trap does a blink all-in (and adds DT's) to eventually win. 2nd game Trap opens with 3 oracles, it transitions to a macro game, then Flash snipes most of Trap's tech with a huge drop and also gets the main nexus and then safely brings it home. 3rd game Flash loses on Catallena with his SCV pull (IMO he took a horrendous engagement, getting a lot of stuff trapped behind force fields for way too long). 4th game Trap goes for 2 oracles and tries to follow it up with a one base voidray bust, Flash holds it with 5 rax defensive marines. 5th game Trap mindgames an immortal bust through the backdoor, Flash gets scared, Trap goes into quick storm and follows up with a very strong timing attack, which IMO became stronger by the fact that he caught Flash in force fields outside of his base.

I can see a situation where Maru wins NSSL, herO wins IEM, and Life wins GSL. That would be balanced, I guess.

So herO possesses Dream's body and plays Protoss in the NSSL finals, winning?

But if herO wins GSL instead of Life, balance is lost.
