I may have seen a larger crowd but, a cheer like that, you would only see once per year. It makes me proud and I want to thank the fans who cheered for me. If possible, I want to attend as many foreign tournaments as possible. Yeah think you are wrong there  | ||

Sc2 is not broken, it's not balanced. Happy now?// Back to topic, Bisu PvT looked pretty crappy even when he played Sc2 in Proleague, he played quite similar this game too - wierd forcefields, macro mistakes, he looks quite bad in this match-up. Jaedong, when playing first game, played quite solid, Stephano-styled, ZvP, Other two games were quite wierd, I'm not quite sure what happened. Flash played straight, macro-oriented games against both Soulkey and against Bisu. Quite similar to what he does in BroodWars. | ||

This was after an 11am - 1am 14 hour gauntlet, so give us some slack :p | ||

2) Leta had the most badass opening ceremony..no contest. 3) Provided 6-12 months of pure SC2 practice, these guys will improve similarly to how current Code A/S players improved after 6-12 months of pure SC2 practice (and maybe surpass them, but that's just a wild guess) | ||

Yeah seconded. At the end, I was really tired otherwise I would have cheered louder. Also, a lot of people left after flash vs soulkey. | ||

He could have done okay but there's no chance he would have won his group. I get that these guys are amazing at BW, props to them for that. But this is not the same game, and the BW pros do not necessarily have to be good at SC2, just like Idra was the top Foreigner in BW but certainly is not in SC2. actually..they do. and they will | ||

In that TSL2 ladder run IdrA cranked his way up to A+ playing almost exclusively against other KR players. Nobody else was even close to this and most of the others that got to A played heavily against the other foreigners. So in one sense it was obvious that IdrA was much stronger than his competition. Unfortunately, ladder is just one measure of skill and what truly counts is how you perform in event. While IdrA had good tournament results and a fair number of wins he wasn't completely dominant, especially in TvP. There is a reason why people didn't speak of IdrA; but rather, IdrA, Ret, NonY, and to lesser extent (probably because of less activity) Mondragon. Basically, IdrA wasn't THE top foreigner in the sense of being undisputed king, but he was certainly top three/four and you could make a strong case he was the best of those. | ||

if sc2 is full of gimmic, imbalance game, then we wouldn't have such a diverse racial balance at the top level (which shifts depends on meta changes) and we wouldn't have such consistent players on winning tourneys | ||

If only you had flipped the one coin he did and gotten heads, you would have been in his shoes no problem. In the immortal words of Bic: Get Real. On topic: I was impressed with Flash. In 2-3 months, I'll almost certainly be impressed with everyone else (especially as they focus more on SC2 than SC1). | ||

That's part true, but they have a fun side to them also. | ||

Also, some of the crowd started slowly creeping out, by the end of Flash vs Soulkey it was already past 11:30. I left because I assumed they would play Flash vs Jaedong/Bisu the day after with the rest of the finals (and so did a few other people I know). KInd of silly to put it so late, it was obvious the crowd was tired/ready to go home/back to our hotels for the most part. | ||
