He wasn't a coach and whatever position he had was basically give them a sponsor shoutout and have the sixjax intro for his videos...I doubt he will talk about that as it will make him look a little stupid | ||

It doesn't rely on gimmicks. It's purely how you play. Sure he could have gone for some gimmicky opening in order to try throw DRG off and gain an advantage that way but to say you have to be "different" in order to beat a player like DRG isn't really true. You just have to be up to his level in the standard. I did not explain my point clearly enough. Opening up standard is not necessarily bad if you can pull it off. However, for terran MOST openings are there to do 1 of 3 main things. 1. damage the zerg to force out more lings, and so they can not make more workers. 2. give you map control, and hopefully kill some lings and force zerg to be defensive. Or 3. give you a economic lead(1rax fe). In game 1, he 2 raxed where the main goal is to try and kill some workers or lings, and force lings. He failed to do either, and drg gained a pretty large economic lead where he didn't look back. Game 2 he attempted a hellion opening. The main goal early is to get in and kill some lings and drones. That failed, so the next step is to just get map control. He failed in this as well. So, I guess my point is that DRG clearly knew exactly how to stop these. Standard is good, as long as you succeed in what your trying to do. However when playing somebody with such high caliber, I personally feel as if it would be smarter to change something up, but thats just my personal opinion. | ||

Ostijoy did a blog where he talked about Sixjax disbanding, this is a quote from that blog concerning Artosis. Just to clear it up he had very little to do with the team, and was brought on to attract attention to the name. I don't have anything against him I just get annoyed at this misconception that he was the core of the team. http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=265933 | ||

For serious though guys I'm gonna need you to watch every VOD of every European online cup for the past month and do an in depth evaluation of the play of all the winners. Don't worry that'll only take you about 4 straight days, you still have time for a few hours practise of the game you play as a job. | ||

Also the American scene has more drama and just more interesting overall. I guess i might be the only EU-er who feels like this though  | ||
