So Artosis was talkin' before about how he'll eventually get into the SlayerS house for his pro house tour. This news makes that seem quite eminent, but I hope the focus is mainly on SlayerS and how they function, etc.

Bomber and Boxer's TvZ aren't really near the level of the rest of Slayers' Terrans.

But yeah, IdrA is going to benefit a lot from this.

Thought MMA has the best TvZ in the world (or second best with MVP first)

Lol why I still don't know why eg has so many haters. Coach lee lied about basically everything because he was butt-hurt that Puma was leaving. They seem like a pretty good team despite the undeserved bad press they've been getting.

EG has done a lot more for eSports in general than Startale ever has, which is why I didn't believe the things Lee was saying, and I was right.

I mean I really like EG as of now but the post CGS counter strike debacle was a bit shady. Since then though I don't think they've done much wrong. I mean the Marn thing is a bit weird but who knows how much of what he said is true, I mean no one's surprised about them favouring justin over him due to tournament results, but if they only sponsored Marn so he could persuade Justin to leave EMP that's very iffy. I mean Justin should've left EMP way earlier than he did but that's another issue.

Its mostly for poor reasons which mainly center around the persons emotions. There is no logical reason for hating EG. I dont have a problem with this, like any real sport, there needs to be a sense of emotion, both positive and negative. So I dont mind the hate really, its just annoying to see people hating on a team for emotional/double standard reasons - but I know its necessary.

Then quote something you don't get instead of a whole post with multiple topics. Write out a proper response instead of what I can only assume is some post count increasing worthless post that you'll follow up and clarify later so you can get 2 more precious posts. That was possibly the most irritating thing you could've said.

Man, such a smart move by EG.

...but also by slayers. Will slayers be able to use HuK and Idra in GSTL?

...Because those are the best Zerg (sorry Min!) and maybe best toss (Alicia is dope too of course) in their roster for sure.

u forgot coca and puzzle...

Yeah Coca and puzzle are pretty damn good. It's still nice to have two new well-rounded players though, especially considering that Coca is like the anti-DRG/IdrA ZvT style zerg and that huk is just very solid in all match-ups. And slayers kinda needed an other protoss because Alicia is falling hard.

I wouldn't really use Idra for ZvZ I don't remember the last time he has beaten a high level zerg in ZvZ Coca at least has beaten DRG and losira and also did well in an all Zerg group on one of the recent ESV weeklys. Although his ZvZ isn't really top level either think they would use a Terran for zerg instead of another zerg.

I would probably rate CoCa's ZvZ and most definitely his ZvP better than IdrA's. IdrA does have the edge in ZvT and lucky for him, if and when he gets to Code S, it's all Terran. Lots of Protoss in Code A though, so hopefully CoCa can teach him some things.

Also, I would say MMA's TvZ style is hard to imitate and effectively prepare for because he has a variety of styles he can bust out, but his trademark and most dangerous seems to be his heavy drop-multitasking play that no one else can really imitate and just makes it hard to prepare for. I would say MMA and MVP have the best TvZs, but they have fundamentally different styles. MMA focusing more on multi-tasking, whereas MVP just outmacros and outplays you. Its hard to say which is more impressive.. the intense APM and multi-tasking of MMA or MVP outmarcoing a Zerg...
