If herO loses versus Cure PartinG is confirmed PvT god.

He already is confirmed as that. Nobody has Maru's number like PartinG does.


Nobody has Terran's number like Parting does.

Also true. Weird that the soul train man's worst MU is PvZ nowadays <.<


It's not so weird. PartinG was always hailed as soul train guy because zergs were dominating so it was easier to see, but he had really great macro templar in WoL, he was really infuential in PvT.


I would even argue he is one of the most innovative protoss players in the history of sc2. For me (as a terran, albeit) I have admired his 4 gate stalker blink pressure, where he drops a 3rd base and gets out enough production to manage pull-the-boys builds.


Definitely. PartinG has always stood out for his ability to figure out matchups and playstyles.

sOs more innovative

As much as I love sOs, nope. Parting innovated Protoss in more standard way in a way which you can use all the time. sOs has "Surprise!" builds mainly. Nothing you can use repeatedly. IMO, maybe I missed something
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

For some reason, I get really turned off whenever Geoff speaks. He's a splendid natural speaker, but I feel he tries too hard to say something cheeky and insightful. Two examples:

1. His joke yesterday about Taeja v Dark.
- "Q: When do we know Summer of Taeja is ending? A: (pauses melodramatically) When it becomes dark."
- Seriously? That's supposed to be funny?

2. Him baiting Snute
- He goes: "If Fantasy beats Rain 3-0, ergo you're better than Rain!"
- Snute replies: "Er no" (awkward sheepish look)
- It's such a poor running joke, and puts Snute in a spot.

3. HIs psychoanalysis
- Like his analysis on Patience's mind-set trying to be clever with Maru because he lacks confidence, instead of playing standard against players like soO which he beat in qualifiers - I think that's really over-speculating and unnecessary.
- It's totally different when Kevin says "Patience is like do I blink, do I don't blink" - here there is some context and evidence, and even then he doesn't go on to conclude what goes on in Patience's head.
- When he starts a sentence with a disclaimer like "I'm gonna be devil's advocate here...", chances are he's going to say something over-speculative

Judging by some responses, I know he has quite a fan following. And he has a cool attitude. But I just feel he's channelling his energy in the wrong way. Maybe in a group of serious and analytical casters, he throws in a good dynamic into the mix. He's great for entertainment value. But personally, I would rather have another commentator like Apollo take his place, or better still, a player like MC or Parting (who will provide the entertainment zing). I just don't think he adds much value into the commentary.

Sorry if I offend anyone. Just have to let it out.

I globally agree. I love him when he isn't trying too hard and just let it flows. But sometimes he tries too hard.

We also gave Flash his proper tribute by using the unique mind-control powers of our moose corps to make all the other players lose to him at that event.

I have come to admire him heavily as a player. He isn't just innovative in creating new macro builds, but he has tons of very unique aggressive builds that he tailors specifically to his opponents. Whats more is his phenomenal control of some of the fundamental units (oracle+stalker) works well in tandem with his aggressive style. Remarkable player in my mind

In my own view - I am awed by Parting's ability to hit the timing "wrong" and by the crisp control win the engagement.
(sometimes)

It's amazing.
