He definitely doesn't deserve to be in the GSL anymore and isn't a top player /sarcasm.
He didn't go out in the ro32

Man, Bogus is something else. He reminds me a little bit of the way Mvp used to play the matchup back when he was in top form. Excellent macro and airtight defense combined with good pushes backed up by well-timed drops.
Now I just want to see what he looks like in the super late game.

I think we all know that isn't true. There have been many instances where the better player didn't move on in GSL. The format, whether or not the players are accustomed to the format, the condition of the players on the day, and previous results (due to seeding and so on) has a large impact on who is in Code S. Requiring that the vast majority of eSF players be ousted rapidly is very unrealistic. Hmm? 99% of the BW fanboys were saying TBLS would dominate within a month of switch. but ... but ... sc2 is such an easy game ! And yes i remember those story's 1 month became 3 and so forth and so forth. SC2 without a doubt is a much easier game then BW. Try rallying 8 buildings in Brood War then try rallying 8 buildings in SC2 and tell me which is easier. Also, the game being easier makes it harder for mechanically better players because a lot of their strengths have been stripped away. Ex: Clicking each and every barracks separately and pressing m to build a marine rapidly vs selecting all barracks at once and spamming mmmmmmm. Big difference there buddy. Try it. This is such a stupid argument. Skating on ice is also mechanically harder than running. Does that mean hockey is the 'superior' game and hockey players are superior to soccer players? This argument only makes sense if someone is playing with BW game mechanics vs someone with SC2 game mechanics. It is like saying sc2 Zerg > BW Zerg because BW zergs don't have to spread creep. I loled at this post here. vthree definitely knows how to give me a great laugh. So, you're saying that smart casting storm isn't easier vs boxing each Templar separately and pressing the storm hot key then selecting where to storm? Lol, I guess this means that 1a+click is as easy as 1a+click+2a+click+3a+click+4a+click+5a+click huh?
Why do you want a more mechanically challenging game though? Is the purpose simply to be elitist or something? More mechanically difficult games don't really prove anything except for that people have to practice harder in the mechanics department than a game with easier mechanics. But why do you want to expand this department?
From the way everyone seems to refer to BW (I myself never having played it), it seems like a very troublesome game to like. It was more like taking an exam every game you play because you want to remember so many things.
But from my standpoint, that's like asking for a revert to the stone age in warfare because "it was harder to kill/maim people then." It took more skill to win a war in the stone age because it was hard to hurt people from what you guys say, whereas now, we don't have to worry about that, but only have to worry about the strategy involved in achieving XYZ goal.
Or like taking a math test with no calculator. It's annoying if you don't know about the tricks involved in mental math; but does the fact I solved the question slower than you because of my lack of a calculator mean that I have worse algebra/arithmetic than you? Of course not, it simply has no meaning.

Yeah. The best part of Artosis + Tasteless is hyping up the players.
All the NesTea jokes were golden and definitely fit (especially in the GSL where Nestea did not lose a single game):
Artosis (after Nestea takes 2-3 games off of Losira in the finals) - This game shouldn't even be called StarCraft II anymore... it should be called Nestea beating up nerds part 2.
Hype helps StarCraft II stay alive!

GOM says that the lag occurred only on this game. It occurred during live broadcast this morning as well. Just gotta wait it out.

Trust me, you can have BW in SC2 settings and still suck at it. Try 1 aing your whole army of dragoons into a Terran mech army or amove your whole bio army to lurkers. SC2 mechanics actually develop bad habits for you. Playing BW is like training in the time chamber under x100 gravity in DBZ and SC2 is the real world.

Then maybe you should re-read your post. You just stated that SC2 is a much easier game. You never used the word 'mechanically' in your statement. I don't think anyone is arguing that SC2 is as hard as BW mechanically. All we are saying is that a harder game mechanically does not equate to a harder game overall.

He definitely doesn't deserve to be in the GSL anymore and isn't a top player /sarcasm.
I fail to see the relevance. This is RO16 and Stephano went out RO32..because, you know, RO16 != RO32?

I was very pleasantly surprised. I bought into the /wrists crowd, especially after MVP got blown out with his injuries.

Come on DRG...not like this.
