ToD is a legend, like july in scbw, their prime/peak time are gone, nevertheless they earn some respect/hype. ToD was one of the top3 "foreign" player from 2004 until he retired 2009. Anyway, scbw and wc3 are/were 10000000 times better than sc2. | ||

The game is balanced but its not as fun to play as BW or W3 yet. | ||

WarCraft 3 is still the most fun to play and watch. StarCraft is great but nothing would excite me more then seeing Blizzard announce WarCraft 4. And SC2's balance is still a bit shaky plus Heart of the Swarm looks like it's going to mean a long while of balance patches before we get back to a more balanced spot. | ||

I agree that WC3 is an amazing spectator game and it's still better to watch than SC2 (apart from the graphics being bad of course). But I don't want WC4 right now, it would just tear the community apart. I think it's awesome that the SC:BW and WC3 communities have basically merged together and I love how SC2 is so big right now. Sorry for being massively offtopic :/ Sad to see Tod leave, I hope he'll do well in the future. I like fnatic, hopefully they'll be able to get some more top level foreigners in the future and continue to do well in GSTL. | ||

(Knocked out in the first groupstage in HSC 5 and knocked out in the second groupstage at Dreamhack Summer by two semi-tier swedes.) For someone that practiced in Korea for over 9 months in a progaminghouse environment as well, he should'nt really be losing like that to mid-tier europeans who don't even play the game fulltime (Mini and Seiplo). | ||

Only Naniwa and Sase are better than him in sc2. For me, he is the best EU/NA Protoss (Naniwa, HuK and Sase doesnt count for me because they live in KR) | ||

ToD didn't have any insanely good results, but he was a really strong player IMO and definitely deserves to be on a top team. | ||

After d3 and sc2, I have learned blizzard is not the same blizzard they once were, so I am not going to continue to pay for their games based on the expectations from bw and wc3 anymore :/ | ||

He seems to struggle like all the other protosses.these times. | ||
