Welp, I guess it's a repeat of IEM Katowice almost any weekend tournamen where the valiant Protoss dies in the finals after using all his builds in the previous rounds :'(

Fixed that for you.

To be fair this only really applies if you have to face multiple Zergs though, which luckily for Protoss players is rare in a bracket.

Lets see what Trap is fighting against in the finals:
1. He is playing his worst matchup.
2. He is playing an imbalanced matchup.
3. He playing as the race that gets affected more by the high ping.
4. He's against the best(?) Zerg in the world.
5. He is a natural kong.

I mean 5 doesn't matter, not only is this an online tournament, it's at best a special event, which is the type many Kongs have won.

Korean fan-logic is very narrative driven, so the outcome of thsi tournament will decide whether it's "just tier 2" or if it counts toward Traps' kong count as a major

You can have good games or a Protoss win, pick the lesser evil.


Every Protoss win is a good game. You can tell because Protoss are shiny.

I dont want to sound pissy but I really don't think they were good games. It might be that you enjoyed them, maybe you are a Trap fan but in simple Starcraft terms, that wasn't good Starcraft. Its fine to enjoy some trashmovies for example or also to dislike a movie that in terms of movies is good (acting, cinematography etc) but that really doesnt elevate this series to anything.

Not Traps fault though.

I placed bets. I had Reynor ML at 1.305, Cure + 2.5 at 1.227 and Over 3.5 maps for Cure vs Serral at 1.311. My bankroll is now gone and I'm back to where I started. Rode it from $150 to $800, and now back to $150 lol.

Traps games were good because seeing protoss win against zerg is rare nowadays and no one wants to see the same ZvZ final for the 500th time, they weren't good games in terms of actual games.

I don’t think Trap belongs in the noble Kong line just yet.

I mean to be a true Kong I think you have to lose finals where you’re the favourite/in a good/balanced matchup for you etc. Ideally play beneath yourself or throw a won game.

Trap losing those two big finals given the state of PvZ at the time, not sure that qualifies him just yet.

What matters to Korean fan logic is that after Serral wins it becomes another irrelevant event. Who cares about Trap?

This, there are only so many times you can see some bullshit build in a mu until it becomes boring, it's why when has was getting soime results and popped up more frequently it also got boring to me to see his special shit too often.

I don't do those lol. I only play SC2 and bet e-sports.

Though my friend and I have been getting free money to play blackjack with. Should be able to reach the $50 minimum cash out requirement next month since they give us $5 every month.

Race designed around gimmicks, explosions and allins produces bad games when it wins, who knew.

But that's because your forte is against all players out of GSL, which included Taeja who was the #1 public enemy of KeSPA-wankers in HotS.
