MarineKing seems to be crying after every game. Does he have some sort of condition that causes this?

Completely irrelevant. The pre-patch win-ratio in master league favor Terran. There were 0 Protoss in Season 1,2,4 of GSL. there were 0 Terran in one(1)(uno) season and the Terran are already starting to QQ. If you watched the games today it's even more evident that your idea is purely unfounded. Try to think before spitting out things that's not true. (Like Terran doing poorer than Z). Are you even serious anymore?

I don't know how you can put such arbitary numbers out of your heat?
From where do you get these "12+ hours" ?

Yes you have to train alot to be as good as he is, but Sc2 hasn't reached bw-esque
dimensions.
I don't believe it, they don't play that much consistently every day.

Imagine yourself joining a public scene, and you move under the spotlight instantly. You suddenly have lots of fans, people giving you names, lots of foreign people cheering you on, and close family/friends supporting you. You do well, you believe you can be the best, and people tell you so. Then you start doing bad. You lose on public scenes. You try to do well but you know people are disappointed. You are disappointed. Forever 2nd.
You don't give up.
You practice hard, you practice harder. In VODS of the Prime house interview, I never even saw him raise his head once. Just kept practicing, kept practicing, you have to do well.

World Championship now, RO4. And you lose 2 embarrassing games. Very very embarrassing games, in front of the whole world, millions watching. If it was me, I wouldn't just cry, I'll probably go kill myself. The amount of effort, the pressure, and you get raped like a child in front of millions, defenseless and countered at every turn.
Then you tell yourself you didn't make it this far to give up, you have to win, you WILL win.

Then you win three FANTASTIC games in a row when the rest of the world believed you to choke and die. You believed you'll choke and die.

You are overwhelmed.

People don't realize that many of these pro players are just kids. They are teenagers/young players trying to prove themselves. Even in other professional sports scene, older players will break under the amount of pressure.

Why can't he cry? This isn't a game to him. This is probably more than life and death to them. That is the kind of attitude that makes you better.

I also love how everyone here suddenly loves TvT now. Everyone used to hate it when SC2 first came out and when GSL was Terran dominated. The amount of mindless QQ here is amazing hahaha.

Really dude? You're talking about season 1,2, and 4 of GSL, with the most recent one in January as a way of measuring the current state of the game? Have you looked at the recent tournaments? 1 day of games where Protoss made some pretty bad calls with outstanding micro from Terran is enough to refute 2 months of results? As for Master League: Terran win rates were .4% higher than Z in 1.2 and .2% higher in 1.3.

Have you even been following any of the major tournies in the last oh...2 months?
