This is particularly amusing when the offender is TT1, whose only noteworthy accomplishment in Starcraft is hacking. We are all entitled to our opinions as spectators but so-called pros should really take the higher ground and watch what they say. Can't wait for e-sports to grow up. MC 4 - 1 July LOL. eSports grow up? Good luck waiting for that. eSports been like this since forever and has gone far like this. | ||

I think the best out of them is idra and he got top 8 of GSL before getting rolled. Ten complain about balance. Now he bashes on a finalist. Lulz much. If a finalist is that bad, then he must be more terrible. Go watch some of JulyZerg's Code A games. Go do it. Show me one person in the world that saw those games and went "You know, July might be one of the best players in the world. He'll probably make it to the finals next season". Hell no! July looked fucking terrible in Code A, and has since seemingly improved, but also hasn't seemed to win games by force of skill, but by fucking strangeness. It's like if it were a boxing match, July would be the guy boxing with three arms. Does that make him skilled? Not necessarily. Does that make him hard as hell to fight? Sure does! July's play is different and interesting, neither of which necessarily indicate skill. I mean, the guy fucking dropped banelings on thors. How the hell is that in any way skilled? | ||

Your not playing to Zerg strengths, if you just make a big ball of units and try to kill the other persons ball when he moves out. (A smart toss or Terran would only move out when their army is at a significant advantage) why not? isn't the game supposed to be balanced? do you think it should be auto-win for protoss lategame?! btw, july is gonna lose 4-0 because what I saw of his games when he played standard he committed a lot of mistakes and against MC it will be unforgiving. | ||

Expect to see atleast 50 forcefields in each and every game vs july. Tushin won't stand a chance whatever he does. 4-0 for MC. | ||

I really don't care about him constantly bming everyone, he could well be trolling and try to stick to his reputation but the endless balance whining is getting tiresome. edit: and the funniest part is that when he ll be right, noone will listen to him cause he always cry "imbalance" at various stages of the game's development | ||

Obviously MC is favored here, but to underestimate July this much is silly. | ||

And Anypro shouldnt have been in the semi's. July has had probably the easiest road to the finals in GSL history. He may be a god in BW, but MC is gonna 4-0 him. July's starting group had both MC and MVP and Nada. I don't think he had that easy of a road up tbh! But with how good MC is, there's no way July can beat MC. Plus, he's protoss so... But I truly hope for a close set, maybe 4-3 or so. I bet July will crack down MC atleast once with some awesome bust! | ||

If July's aggressive playstyle enters the meta-game then it will make Zerg stronger. P/T players will have to stop cutting corners and start game planning for aggressive zerg play. Even the threat of aggressive zerg play will allow macro players a better chance. You would be right if Idra had displayed a "normal way of thinking" towards the game and the metagame. But he prefers to repeat a single style of play (which he has perfected) even if it puts him at an obvious disadvantage in certain situations (vs Squirtle at IEM?) and then shout "imbalance" when he doesn't win (to any opponent who has completely figured him out). | ||

i'm actually scared about this, since mc might have an offday and lose focus after a couple of july's allins, when under normal conditions the skill gap is pretty high between the two. hell, toss op etc., mc would normally wreck july even if their races were interchanged  and i find kiwi's line very funny. jinro puts it quite nicely, the guy is is far and away the best player in sc2, i expect him to win this season and another one soon setting him on track for the elusive bonjwa title. i mean, guy's got such a mystical understanding of timings his play looks abusive  also, july's getting all the love because 1. he's july (true, <3) 2. he's zerg aka underdog - main point 3. he's playing completely differently from 99% of zergs BUT if these 1 and 2 weren't the case he'd be classified as an abuser and alliner, because he got to the finals allining -fact- (yes, i also call 5 base zerg playing nothing but muta for 30 minutes with no transitions even planned allin), had he been a random toss or terran doing equivalent allins through to the finals he's have been buried under the community hate and -insert race- outcries EVEN IF his mechanics, unit control are outstanding and he does expo properly after his initial bling busts go MC, lord of sc2 | ||
