Well yh but he doesn't that's why he didn't win that easily. Besides I still think Inno played better, even if it's an unpopular opinion. SpeCial got seriously lucky with the economic advantages that he gave despite his gameplay being worse. I said the same for the Kela vs TY match last year. | ||

Completely outplayed on all levels. Special so good. Disagree. I was quite amazed actually with both Inno and Soo, how they made crazy good engagement with a lot less army. Special built up a great lead, which is nice and won him the games. Also nice multiprong harrass. | ||

Yes and i think your "special got lucky" is just as pointless (that's what i meant the first time already). Major won 2 games fair and square, there isn't more to it than that. Unless you literally mean that in game rng decided the games there is no point to find "ifs" in this case (playing same server, etc). Did Innovation play his position strong after he failed and got behind? Yeah sure but that's irrelevant. | ||

I'm saying he got lucky and won despite his play being on a lower level that his opponent for the majority of the gametime. And SpeCial did get lucky here. I'm not saying it was a diceroll build or rng determined or anything like that. I just think the advantages he got in the game were not what would happen in the majority of games. Nor is it something that's reliant on pure skill. | ||

This goes too deep into the more philosophical area of what people even consider skill, luck, etc in a game with imperfect information, so i won't bother right now to start that debate on principles. But can you tell me what you think was so lucky about major's wins here? I guess for the second game you consider it pure luck how they ended up after the basetrade? | ||

I missed the first two games that Korea won, but luckily I came back from family duties just when Special's first match had started. Boy am I glad I did, what incredibly exiting games! Of course, the result alone makes Special a SC2 living legend right there. People will talk about this for a long time. | ||

What was really mesmerising was Stephano's performance at the 2012 GSL world championship. Offline 4 wins in a row, Eyes fixed on screen. good ol' time.
