As for the 3rd expansion, I don't think it is an issue in TvP, most Protoss can hold a third pretty well if they aren't going full tech build. If the 3rd is more protected, MSC with time warp would pretty much make it impossible to put on any pressure. I think making bases closer would be better than then using chokes. Because with forcefields and time warp, Protoss is just too good defending chokes. | ||

He has given Jaedong his blessing to win the tournament. You will witness his power. Please watch the games, and point out the "imbalances" that you see there, and then come back. Without context those numbers mean nothing. | ||

Instead of 'hur hur he has low APM but still wins, wtf', why don't we you know, actually look into his successes? | ||

Protoss cheese too strong, nerf nerf nerf!!11oneoneleven I would say that in general, the recept for his success is the decision making and positioning. He also has decent micro (WC3 background!!!11) | ||

Protoss is quite metagamey race and you can throw some sickening curveballs to your opponent in bo5 series for example. (Like Naniwa doing dat proxygate in game5) | ||

Once people figure out that elfi can only abuse warp tech for early wins, he won't have any success. | ||

And he is even on the same team as Stardust, who definately knows how Elfi plays, there should no reason for jjiakji to know at least something on Elfis play style. | ||

Scarlett has never shown good play vs korean Ts (funny). You're supporting the point I was making. There are no strong foreign terrans. None. And this is the problem. Lucifron was the best foreigner terran for a long time, and there is no established player to take his mantle. And that's a symptom of the state of the game at the moment. I wouldn't bet even on mediocre Korean terrans to beat foreigner P or Z players, but that's weird, right? A mediocre protoss or zerg, especially Protoss, can take games off excellent terrans like MMA (people bash him, forgetting that before the last patch he was a lynchpin for acer-axiom who won the GSTL! And he just made it to the Ro4 in Dreamhack Winter, losing to Inno in a series he pretty much had won). The point is, the best terrans in the world are barely winning against foreigners. And that means there's something wrong. | ||

Then when foregienrs win games, you all cry imbalance cuz koreans should win everything when the game is balanced Arguing in TL makes ppl lose their soul tbh lol I somehow doubt most ppl calling OP on those results didn't even watch the games carefully lol | ||
