Well that's because Serral is still in. | ||

Yup, just shows how volatile SC2 as a game really is, especially when getting matched with the possibly worst opponent he could face. | ||

I disagree, a Blizzcon win is more important than a GSL win. I'm sure the players are more motivated to win $280k than $37k. It is just that it has a week-ender format and therefore games are less refined due to the lack of preparation time. If $O$ wins his 3rd Blizzcon, he's a strong candidate to GOAT protoss to say the least. | ||

Only a truly great player can win by using something that's not meant to be good. It validates Starcraft as a game of strategy, and not just a skill dump where you when by playing lots. Tricks, mind-games, and intelligence absolutely should be part of the game, and being able to upset a titan by using them perfectly makes the game better, not worse. That's a old debate, I prefer the good old macro game with a lot tactical depth which u do not acquire just by "playing a lot", sorry but that's a stupid raisonning, in this case everyone would be Taeja rather than the non stop mind game or/and coin flip like sOs does in 100k tournaments. A bit of the two like Life did is probably the best but seeing how mindgame on build order can be so much more successful than a tactical macro monster play in sc2 particulary on the protoss side made me really dislike the race. Well, sOs at least has good mechanics unlike has. | ||

This is what it's like when someone actually knows something about the game commentating. | ||
