They are perfectly legit strats but winning with them doesn't inherently mean someone is a better player. There is too much of a rock-paper-scissors in build wins to make the determination from a best of 3 unless the player is super mind gaming or playing their opponent. (e.g. Serral's map win in the decider match was targeting GuMiho's tendencies.) | ||

The luck factor can usually be compensated by the better player investing slightly more in scouting, this being true except for the initial 1 minute of the game (before any unit can make it's way across the map) . Thus "cheese" or "all in" victories isn't an excuse for Dark to lose the series (esp. Here since we're not talking about 12 pool strat). Not scouting during a plausible window for muta switch was in itself a gamble too on Dark's side, not only Elazer's. | ||

Why wasnt he the better player in game 2? I think Dark was ahead ~30 supply while building a spire. And the winning player is better? I think Rifkin and Zombiegrub won against Ryung and Crank in a legit Archon Match. Are they the better player? | ||

When Elazer wins with mind games it means nothing, he is the inferior player. lol. Remember they played for over a month on korean ladder, hundreds of games and the results for Korean zergs were abysmal. Elazer is not only much better than Dark in zvz he is better than any korean zerg in zvz, the longer the series the less chance a Korean has. Same with ZvP. Dark has better ZvT, does it absolutely mean he is a better player? By the way, when Dark reached the finals last year he only won 1 game against a Korean also 2:1. | ||

Wait, are you seriously claiming that Elazer > Dark? As in, Elazer is the superior player overall, across all matchups, and capable of achieving everything Dark has and more? That Elazer is quite possibly the best Zerg in the world? Is that what you are saying? Please tell me I have misunderstood. | ||

That Elazer is quite possibly the best Zerg in the world? Is that what you are saying? Please tell me I have misunderstood. I didn't say he is better across all matchups. I said he is better in zvz and at least as good in ZvP and inferior in zvt. So why didnt he won game 2? Are you serious? Even if he has a 75% win rate against best koreans in zvz he will lose games. | ||

Having to play 3 players of the same race in a best of 7 and only fall to the player with the highest amount of WCS Korea points in the final game is absolutely insane. | ||

There is no chance that Stats would win against Elazer in a best of 7, just as it would be impossible for herO to beat Elazer in a best of 7. | ||

Even if he has a 75% win rate against best koreans in zvz he will lose games. I was extremely unimpressed by Elazer in group stage. He got completely dumpstered by herO, beat up the weakest player at Blizzcon, and then squeezed past Dark in the most notoriously coinflippy matchup. And now somehow you think he's better than Dark? Dark, one of the greatest Zergs in the world? Dark had an off day, and lost the ZvZ coinflip. Elazer hasn't demonstrated anything remotely close to Dark's career results. There's no justification whatsoever for claiming he is better than Dark. Special, on the other hand, put on a far better showing in group stage. He played very well and advanced in first over two Koreans. Sure, Stats and TY were in poor form, but Special's form was still very impressive. | ||

I dont know how people can believe that Elazer > Dark It's like if Getafe win a match against Real Madrid, Getafe isnt superior... If you cannot read, do not express such biassed opinions. Dark lost about 50 times in the last month against Elazer online. Now he lost in the most important tournament. Live with it. It is like Getafe won the Spanish league and then won in Champions league 2:1 against Real and the fans still could not believe this. | ||
