How can you quantify an incredible stupid statement like " dear is a true protoss and sOs is just lucky and does weird builds" Give me a break. | ||

How can you quantify an incredible stupid statement like " dear is a true protoss and sOs is just lucky and does weird builds" Give me a break. There exists a mentality that only "macro games" are real games, not mindgames and weird strategies. There are many people who would rather have a mindless player who just hones mechanics rather than a player who thinks and plans out ways to catch the opponent off guard and make them uncomfortable. In the end, you play to win, not play to get 4 bases and achieve a mineral income > 2k per minute. | ||

Were you expecting for him to get as many fans as jaedong has over the course of his entire career in only a few tournaments and his offerings in PL? I don't think so. The reaction was the same for when soulkey lost to dear. you guys don't like protoss we get it but you said the same shit about a lot of other protoss players while they did there thing which was winning. In terms of entertainment and the current state of the game. There aren't that many players as entertaining as this guy. He delivers the goods. | ||

I did not say for a moment that he has no right to cheese, or that players should play for things other than winning. I just said I don't find such wins impressive or entertaining, and that they aren't the mark of a champion like MVP (who occasionally does use cheese/weird builds, but not all the time and not as a replacement for mechanics/micro/tactics). I suppose you prefer shitty games you can catch on silver NA to intense micro battles between players like Maru and Dear. Makes perfect sense to me. | ||

The only way someone would think sOs wins through crossing his fingers is by not understanding his brilliance. Wow, nice substantiated claim there. You call me a whiner, call sOs a genius, and declare victory. I see a lot of evidence and reasoning and logic there, bro. Excellent argumentation! | ||

I'd say Dear, Maru, Taeja, JD, bomber, polt, Life, Soulkey, hell, half of the rest of the top 20 WCS are easily as entertaining, if not more. But maybe that's because I prefer drawn out games that are determined by skill and multitasking, not predetermined by weird strats and scouting and whether JD practiced against some weird unit comp. But that's probably a fault on my part, right? | ||

I dislike protoss in general, including Dear, but I would be an absolute idiot to ignore Dear's flawless defenses, crisp macro and multitasking, and amazing engagements / tactics. Stop trying to generalize the community as just hating protoss. Nobody hates sOs - he's just not very impressive in his play compared to the rest of blizzcon. My reaction to soulkey being beaten by dear was, "oh well, dear played better". My reaction to sOs - JD was "fucking really man? _sOs_ is the global champion after that shit final?" | ||
