Yes he was frozen arbiter but jinro was actaully pretty unsuccessful in sc1. In the latter days of Bw i dont think he played at all. Im happy to see him doing so well now but Nony has what i feel more is more experiance and a little bit more talent. People who just joined TL for sc2 probably dont know how Incredible Nony was and assume hes just an inferior player to Jinro. | ||

People shouldn't pretend he's better than he is just because he's a foreigner, he hasn't done anything impressive so far. The way I see it he had success when terran was favored and now that protoss have figured out the game he doesn't make it far (Ro16 was a given since he was head of the group). I expect him to drop to code A next season since he will get a tough group next time (though so many bad players made it far this season that he could get an easy group again.) sc2 is so random  I will be cheering for Jinro though but mainly cause he's such a nice guy. This has to be the among the worst posts I've read on teamliquid. So disrespectful its just sad. | ||

Tyler - fruitdealer and tyler - MC could be amazing matches I agree. These matches will be fun to watch. I just hope people figure out sooner than later that Tyler is a beast, and just because he isn't a beast on the korean scene currently doesn't mean PvX is broken if/when he beats someone who is.

Yes, there is a difference between sports and sc2. Sports also contains judgemental calls by officials, whereas SC2 doesn't. My point was about respect and about unfounded opinions. First, making claims which imply that someone's victories were illegitimate is incredibly disrespectful. You should never do this in the first place, even if the concerned party isn't bothered by it. It's just common courtesy. Second, It isn't as though someone has broken down tyler's attacks point by point and explained why they believe certain aspects were too strong, examined jinro's decisions and come to the conclusion that any decision he could've made would've been ineffective, or analyzed tyler's decisions and came to the substantiated conclusion that he was playing terribly. They simply said, "Based on this, P is broken". There's more to the game than that, as your post implies. | ||

Jinro made it to GSL Ro4 twice, beating even MC along the way and taking games off MKP (an insanely good player). It's quite obvious he's one of the VERY best players in the world. He doesn't need to prove that to anyone. This latest game between Tyler and Jinro just shows that Tyler is ALSO really really good. | ||

However Jinro was playing from Korea to US which is incredibly bad for latency. 3/4 of the games were played on Korea server, latency was in Jinro's favor | ||

Well, to be fair, he most likely is the inferior player in SC2. I'm not saying that from a biased perspective either -- Jinro practices a lot more than Tyler and he has actual results to show. From an purely objective standpoint, Jinro is the more accomplished and by all measurable statistics a superior player. This could change, but the facts are facts as they stand. | ||

It was about fking time, after a 2010 with 50% terrans in every top 8 in every tourney. The race have all the resources to succed. P's figured out how to deal with T's after being beated every time. Now is terran turn to find the way. | ||

Not that I buy into these so-called trends at all yet as there hasn't been enough time, nor do I think there's any TvP imbalance as of yet, the main reason Protosses have been winning lately isn't because they "figured out" anything. It's because every tournament has started using new, bigger maps and as I'm sure we all know, Terran's strategies up until now greatly depended on small maps. | ||
