we should buy as much skins as possible and simultaneously buy activision stock before it's too late and bobby kotick can just buy 9 private jets and not 10

come on

But how is that gonna make Terran win every tournament Penev?


Because of TY 's portrait

I don't like the portraits.


But it's a TY portrait mate

I can get better pictures of TY without paying

Assuming Serral advances to the grand final:
It is possible for there to be an all foreigner final if Neeb beats Ragnarok and Stats, and Solar beats TY and Dark (obviously i'm assuming that Neeb beats Solar).
PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN

The only point I'm trying to make is that Terran seems to be doing fine at the top level, even if Katowice has been lackluster.

How is IEM not the highest level? All the top Koreans and all the top foreigners were at this tourney.


I'm pretty sure I said the opposite of what you think I said.

You said:
The only point I'm trying to make is that Terran seems to be doing fine at the top level, even if Katowice has been lackluster.

The only way you could claim this is if you considered this IEM as not being "the top level", to which I pointed out that pretty much all the best players were at this tournament.

The fact that I have to spoon feed this to you is disappointing.


Yeah, I named Katowice as part of the top level and said it was "lackluster" for terrans. It is however, a single data point. Terrans are doing great in GSL (well represented this season, TvT final last season) so maybe the balance whine is premature. That's my point.

edit: removed the snark.

1. You did _not_ name IEM as part of the top-level. You said Terrans were doing fine at the top level even if Katowice was lackluster. The two things are not equivalent.
2. 6/16 Terrans in GSL (even representation is either 5 or 6) and 1/12 terrans in IEM is not by any stretch of the imagination "fine". It's either "too early to tell" or "bad".


ok

Correct me if I am wrong but it seems like Zerg and Protoss players always root for the pros that play their race, but Terran players hope pro Terrans lose so it allows them to complain and ask for buffs. Am I wrong?

Roflmao, funniest comment so far. Terrans (like me) has never needed anything to "allow" them to ask for buffs. They do it all the time anyway =P

If I'm going to whine anyway I'd prefer for Maru to win AND I can still whine

Lol Serral's looking like he will get a free ride to the finals. As for TY, even if he beats Solar and Dark, he will probably loose to Stats in the semi's. So another Stats vs Serral final incoming!!

I honestly think soO is actually a threat to Serral, he always has insane zvz. But yeah overall I'm sure he is very happy with all the Protoss players on his side of the bracket

insane ???? actually his zvz makes me sad....that guy needs to avoid zvz at all cost

well his highest win rate is vs zerg and his recent zvz form is even better soooo

but according to lambo none of them(koreans) has any clue in this match up tho


Serral beat him soO 2-1 at HSC.

Ah I see that explains how Lambo got spanked 4-1 by Dark and Leenock in his group. Obviously Lambo knows the matchup and koreans "no clue" in the matchup. -_-

You're wrong. Terrans don't need to lose to whine. They were whining in the middle of GomTvT for the love of all that's reasonable! Terrans losing just makes it harder for the rest of us to ignore them.
I bear this sig to commemorate the loss of the team icon that commemorated Oversky's 2008-2009 Proleague Round 1 performance.

So, based on the finals from September 15 on a different balance patch we can safely say Terrans are fine. Are you serious?
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.
