I think it's true [that Zerg has been very strong lately]. Yesterday, I said in my interview that Terrans were so shameless. That, I just said because I wanted to say it once, so please don't misunderstand.

It's okay, I still love you.

meh. I wish he would just embrace his role as a villain it would be so much more fun, same thing with Heart. They are never going to be super popular players so they might as well go full out villain.

MKP was once also a villain, right?

Probably not.

Jjakji had a very specific style that he relied upon to win him games. Once that was figured out, he kinda had nothing left. Seed just got really cocky after he won, and stopped practicing as much, he'll be back.

Sniper suffers from neither of those problems. He spends most of his practice time just cranking out ladder games, and he doesn't really have a style. Also, he's rather young, so I think his career is just starting.

Well, he used timing attacks in his play all of the time. In the seasons before he dropped out, he tried these timings attacks, and failed horribly. This is because the other players found out how to block these. He shortly dropped out of GSL and faded into obscurity.

As for Seed, he mentioned in some interviews that he hadn't been practicing as much and got way too relaxed.

Yo this isn't Reality TV, that's just his personality. I think Sniper has absolutely nothing close to being villain lol XD

EDIT: Oh and Jjakji did have a good run in GSTL after he entered the abyss of code B. He's still an amazing player and a really good macro terran. TvZ is just a timing oriented match up. Jjakji is in fact NOT a timing-only kind of player, he's really good lol...

I'm not saying only. He's an amazing macro player, and has excellent late game army control, especially in TvP. However, when he was trying to beat players that were better than him, he would often have to utilize timing attacks in order to gain the advantage. This happened in most matchups, especially in long series. This won Code S, IPL ToC and many GSTL games.

I only really know a lot about this because, when I played Terran, I studied Jjakji extensively.

Sponsors sponsors? Wish he would name the sponsors because they're the only reason he's able to be a pro-gamer.

uhhhh...he did.

Sniper has great late game and those statistics that was provided on stream last night comparing the win-rates as the game goes on was cool. His win% was much higher as it goes into late game.

That they whine a lot and whatnot. This was in reference to Ryung's last words before calling gg in Game 5. He just went "IMBA IMBA IMBA IMBA IMBA IMBA IMBA IMBA IMBA IMBA IMBA IMBA IMBA gg"
