Like how does a patch that favors Terran make Byun WORSE? It's not all about the patch, clearly.... But hey, Solar got knocked out. So did Zest and Rogue. Last year Maru AND Innovation were knocked out of code s. And Inno took responsibility, said he was lazy. Hell, Im pissed at Solar for not getting out of the group. I was irritated Cure didn't get out, but Leenock played Sooo well I'm excited to see what he can do. Bashing???? I woulda NEVER TOOK that tone if she wasn't so arrogant. I saw Keen 2-0 Dark twice in a row, but in a tournament I'm betting on Dark. Classic had over 4000 WCS points, HE shoulda been at blizzconn over at least pittdrogo, like come on!!!!!! I just like good games my man.. | ||

Of course we can expect her to advance lol. She was one game away to advance as first place, and then one game away to advance as second place. She finished her group at 4-4, like aLive who qualified as 2nd place. ByuN was also one game away from advancing and we don't hear people say: "uh why should you expect the blizzcon winner to advance in ro32, lolol". You got wrong double standards :x. | ||

You have no place to say that someone who simply has confidence is acting arrogant, and your ceaseless "I'm always right, you're wrong, listen to me completely dismiss someone else's accomplishments because I type in caps" attitude is unwelcome. | ||

Byun just beat three straight top tier zergs in the qualifiers. Alive beat Maru. Gumiho beat Maru. Serial qualified, and I don't think Elazer or Nerchio have yet. Like I said, I didn't have a problem with her LOSING (caps are for emphasis ya know, maybe I should try italics??) more with her mindset going into the game. She just beat him 3-2 Ina qualifier, but at WESG, that was for like 20000-50000kor something, what ever 3-4th place gets, and she plays like she is scared to death. And these qualifiers show Maru isn't GOD. Far from it. Edit: I had to add this, I believe during the WESG, the casters were discussing Scarlett's (and I'm pretty sure these were their words) Imperious attitude towards Terran. She felt ULTRA CONFIDENT vs ANY Terran. You know why? She said she practices with Byun and didn't care about any other Terrans. It killed me reading her interview, describing Marus 2-1-1 pressure play. The way she explained it, Maru was the only one she's seen perfect it. And she hasn't seen anything like it since Taeja. This is after Byun spent ALL of 2016 killing everyone with the 2-1-1. Watch Byuns first game vs Violet and tell me he can't reproduce whatever the hell she feels like Maru is doing.I took it as kinda disrepspectful to her teammate. This is the same player who said she learned how to deal with reapers by playing 50 games against Byun until she figured out how to deal with it. So if not for Byun she might still be dying to reapers. Like I said before, I LIKE Scarlett. I just didn't like what she kinda indirectly said about Byun. And I'm tired of foreigners talking smack and then don't back it up, just play the game..... | ||

There's not one argument to be made here. 4 days in sc2 time is actually not long at all, considering there are 2/3 GSLs per year, and the whole point of the VODs is you can watch on your own schedule. I'll have you know I was traveling 4 days ago. I made the mistake of checking for other news when I knew there was a risk of spoiling. I'm just saying it could be better. What happened to a simple "Group Y Results and Group Z Preview?" | ||

Neeb has a 60%+ winrate in all match ups, he can compete with the best of all races. You make him out to be a one match up wonder with what you said and saying things like that unjustly discredits him. I'm not even a neeb fan and i think he is gosu as F*ck  | ||

ByuN's rough patch has been pretty tough to watch as well, thankfully he made it to IEM Katowice | ||

EDIT: which doesn t mean it wasn 't a mistake (the viking count turned out to be rather low, she overestimated her opponent's adaptation speed), just not the most obvious throw of all time, as some ppl make it sound. | ||

I'm not even a neeb fan and i think he is gosu as F*ck I think he certainly deserved his Kespa Cup victory because it just happens sometime that you get lucky with the matchups - Zest also played mostly pvp during his kespa cup victory but nobody discredits him for it. But let's be honest - he can't compete with the best of all races. 0-3 against Dark at blizzcon, 0-3 against TY at WESG, none of the maps were even close. | ||
