any master player can do that. the same way you would probably get easily to silver if you switched to another race

sjow playing toss is quite hilarious Though beating up diamond/master players should be the most normal thing for like every pro who is offracing.

Can't wait for him to meet higher level players. And whether "toss is imba" will still apply - or not

I think it will be harder, because toss is no one-trick-pony. You need to learn super-cheesy builds, all-ins, pressures, macro builds, solid defense etc etc.

I can't tell really if these how hard are all these things at GM level but there is a lot of them for sure.

Meanwhile Sjow beats a top-8 master zerg in a baserace, even thou he forgot to build the MCS. "Play for one week - win GSL" - says Sjow.

After all it's all about game sense. You just need to understand how sc2 works, what counters what. You dont need perfect build. Just counter what enemy is doing.

Well, he called his account "PatchToss" which I found amusing, but got bored very quickly watching his stream. I've only been watching for a short time but 3 out of the 4 last games he's won he's just bitched about how he shouldn't of won and how toss is imba. Got to be honest, I'm hoping he fails.

The concept of a pro b*tching that he shouldn't have won against a diamond level NA player makes me laugh.
When you are salty, you will find anything to complain about

This just in, toss is the only race you can win with when you utilize the tools you are given.
To win as T and Z, you have to hack the game to access tools you were not originally given.

He will if he keeps that up. I think this is how Idra would act if he played Protoss. I know he just macroed his way up to high masters with Terran because he could.

For a pro player, he's awfully slow.

Sjow says he's about to play vs Thorzain in a cup. Well, time to put his toss powers to a real test I guess.
