Honestly, I could agree with you if it were Life or Parting or Flash who are fighting Naniwa for this last spot... but Revival? I think Naniwa overall has a better chance of making a miracle run to the finals than he does (though with Soulkey as the gatekeeper, I don't know that this match really matters so much anyway). The whole foreign scene is cheering for Naniwa here. He's had a hell of a season and has proven that he can beat fantastic Korean players at their own game. Take away a couple of misclicks and forgotten forcefields vs. Life and he may have won IEM outright. You're getting top-notch skill with this Swedish Protoss baller. I generally have your mindset. I always want the best to win, and that's almost always the Koreans. But today... today, I'm rooting for NANIWA! | ||

Well he would have won if he did x and y different or didn't miss z. But If Life did x and y different and didn't miss z he would have roflstomped Naniwa. stupid if's games make absolutely no sense in this kind of discussions. | ||

I generally agree if you're talking about strategic things - "if he build X instead of Y he would have beaten Life" arguments are always terrible. But in this case, a simple misclick or missed forcefield is not strategic.. it's just an error. Like in baseball, you can say if X player hadn't dropped the fly ball, the Yankees would have been much closer to winning. There's no response that Life would have had... simply those lings wouldn't have killed any probes and the rest of the game would have played out favoring Naniwa more than it did. | ||
