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 | ||

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 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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
