Do you think other pro's would tell uthermal do continue sieging liberators poorly while not building medivacs? | ||

And I think the only way you beat what Neeb did on Dasan is vetoing the map. | ||

Do you think other pro's would tell uthermal do continue sieging liberators poorly while not building medivacs? I think uThermal is a better judge than you or most of non-pros when it comes to how he played (I also didn't write "optimal" anywhere in my post..) But don't bother answering, these threads are big list of snarky comments and the same users (you could cite them one by one) posting over and over trying to feel the *coolest* among them (generally by complaining about: balance, level of the games, wcs system, casters, anything really) so I'm in the wrong for expecting something better  | ||

The teams look like they don't want to be there. As the saying goes, if you're not first you're last. | ||

The next guy thinks 5th place should be a thing and we see small semis and even smaller final for 5th place which got a point/cash difference. Alot of sports dont use this, pretty much every single eliminiation bracket in football outside of the world and continental cups for example dont care about it. I dont know a Starcraft player who would rather split the extra money of the 3rd place for both semi final exiters instead of playing another meaningles game for it. | ||

Easier to look good with bio control without it being necessarily harder to perform. | ||
