Go IncA. Keep all-inning until it stops working. If your opponents aren't good enough to stop you, that's on them. Word. I don't get the hate. Maybe it's because I don't really care too much for Nada, but I thought it was hilarious personally. There's money on the line, and Inca's got balls and a brain; he knows what's at stake. Furthermore, I like his honesty in admitting that he totally would've gone for another all-in next. And he owned Nada in Game 3 straight-up, so clearly he can play a straight game. Was Nada having an off-day? Yes, definitely. But that happens to all of us, and it's just how it rolls. I mean, yeah, I hope he doesn't all-in NesTea in the finals all the way to the gold, but if that's what he chooses to do, then more power to him. It's on NesTea's head to react properly to hold it off. (Which he can totally do, if his last few games say anything about his skill level. Not to mention, 90% against Protoss is pretty damn sick.) | ||

Why does the number of times someone wins with a strat relevant to their skill? Hell, I'd argue they're less skilled if they stop doing something that's working. -_- | ||

And I was sick at dick waving. My dick is waved at a frequency double the amount of my competitor. The trajectory was a perfect oval, the speed was blazing, and I won the dick waving contest. Despite my win, here you are saying "well look this other guy, he had a much bigger dick." Well that is wonderful, I'm sure his wife is absolutely ecstatic about his abnormally large dick, and it would make for many entertaining nights. In fact, I bet his wife would be much happier than my wife. But you know what? I was waving my dick like no other and I won the dick waving contest. | ||

so let me get this straight if rain scv rushed his way through an entire tournament (which he did except in the finals against MC where he got stomped by the infinitely better player) and ended up winning he would be a legitimate champion and considered the greatest player of that season? I'm sure all of us are eagerly anticipating the return of bitbybit | ||

I'm sure all of us are eagerly anticipating the return of bitbybit It would suck for spectators. But yes, if Rain won the tournament, and didn't cheat or break the rules of the tournament, then he would have been the best player of the tournament. That's a different game, plus boxer's been cheesing before it was cool. Boxer didn't invent cheese, or the SCV rush for that matter, and who cares if its a different games, its the exact same principle--it takes virtually no mechanical skill, just the saavy/balls/luck to go for it at the right time. come on man, that is BW. it was actually hard to "scv all in" in BW... pretty sure thats the only scv marine rush ever because BBS is just better and just as all in No, it really wasn't. Literally anyone in the world could practice for like 3 hours and execute an scv rush or a bunker rush. BW may have been harder in many respects than SC2, but pulling off incredibly simplistic early game cheese was not one of those respects. | ||

Also people saying it takes no skill to 2 rax allin, why on earth arent you demolishing every single zeg with it? Make GM league consist of 150 terran and 50 protoss, zergs could barely get to masters. Since everyone and their mom can 2 rax allin and win. Now that's not really true is it? Edit: Also go Inca! My PvP hero! | ||

Also the person you quote in response with that video actually agrees with you and I, so what are you even talking about? | ||

Boxer's SCV rush worked because it was UNEXPECTED. It worked 3 times because it was unexpected 3 times. The reason why it was cool is because SCV all-ins are BAD if they are even in the opponent's head. In BW, EVERYONE was good enough to stop SCV all-ins, so it was considered "hard". Rain won because people WERE NOT good enough to stop his all-ins. He was better than them. Once they learned how to deal with all-ins, they became rarer because it was a loss most of the time. Why did Inca's work? Because like Yellow, Nada was not expecting an all-in because his practice vs Inca was macro games. So Inca prepared 4 all-ins, like Boxer, because he knew that Nada would not expect it, like Yellow. The better the players become, the weaker all-ins become. Nada lost because he was not good enough to win. Inca looked at his strategic options and chose the best course of action, and it worked beautifully. | ||
