Well, when you steamroll your way into ~100mil won, you probably will disagree with that.

T is much too strong early on, but Koreans tend to favour more macro-oriented playstyles (even some Terrans) and if it gets into the lategame, Protoss is better then Terran.
Or has noone noticed that neither Zerg nor Terran wanna play a long game against a Protoss-player? Every player just all-in's against Toss.

Excellent interviews, thanks CSheep. Great players in the Ro4.
HopeTorture fightinggg!

For those confused, intotherainbow is on startale with julyzerg and silver.

I wish Tasteless and Artosis got more excited while casting. Sometimes I feel they're like lost. Just compare with the Korean commentators, they like like they're lovin' it! Just an appreciation, they still rock.

Welp. 27 protoss joined the tournament, and all of them got eliminated. I really don't understand why some people dare to say Protoss is the strongest when there are clearly only 8 of them in the top 50 Korea. http://kr.battle.net/sc2/ko/blog/390545#blog
At least hopetorture care to admit Terran is the strongest.

Weird that Cool thinks ZvT is okay but ZvP is "tough".
If he faces RainBOw in the finals, I don't think he'll have that much chance. TOP's mass thor build was developed by RainBOw while Cool and him were both in oGs still.

Wow, this reaffirms that InCa is a great guy, for me at least. I bet all those people posting page after page after page of hate towards him for the "BM" in the live report thread are feeling preeettty silly right about now.
Actually he was probably raging hard but calmed down rather quickly after the match and apologized for it in a way that is respectful to both himself and cool. Everyone needs a good BM ragequit now and then, doesn't make them a bad person.

What a horrible, under-confident answer. This guy needs to build an ego. "but unfortunately Cool's opponent is now me." seriously?
You obviously missed the English interview, quoting from the tourny thread:
- You killed the automaton. How did that make you feel, and did it have a real effect on the game? - I didn't realize it. I was more worried about Maka. artosis: why did you send all your scvs after maka's allin failed. nexliveforever: i wanted to end it fast to get home and eat because i am verhy hungry. artosis: what do you eat at home then?. nexliveforever: regular meal

I laughed at the part about "the teammate I practice with can only use void rays."

I've never understood the 'to not GG is BM' if its a crushing loss like what happened in that game, you just want to get the hell out of there and reflect on what you could of done better. Typing two letters into the chat isn't exactly on the top of your head, lol. I can completely understand not wanting to say GG, I only say GG if its actually been a good game, if I'm totally caught off guard by a rush its not a good game. I may learn something from it, but come on, no one enjoys losing I can see enjoying analyzing a loss to improve, but actually being in the middle of the loss no one likes, and even the best of the best can lose their composure sometimes.
Edit - They really gotta do something about the questions for the English cast, so few people are awake for when it is live cast, some really awful questions get asked. (Like couldn't Artosis and Tastless come up with questions of their own related to critical points in the match, would be a lot more effective I think).

Besides TvT, everything is easy.
I hope blizzard sees this soooo much. Its one thing if average players cry imba or one race says imba about another (IdrA), but the own race saying its easy is sooo helpful (Morrow, Cool). This really helps the game out since it is really obvious that things need balancing and fast. Terran really needs nerfs still and Zerg needs help. I'm not sure where Protoss is as the zealot nerfs are pretty huge in all matchups.

A "GG" is the equivalent of many other sports' sportsmanship, such as exchanging handshakes after a game, no matter how badly the game might have went, or how angry or how annoyed you are. So it's bad sportsmanship, or bad manner, to not gg at the end of the game.
But this guy seemed to be pretty quick to apologize. Cool guy.

Pretty sure this is because IntoTheRainbow/HopeTorture is a super badass gigaballer.

Not really. Void Rays are easily countered when you get to a certain skill. They can't do anything against marines with stim or hydras and 1 viking can kill any amount of voidrays.
Queens also destroy voidrays once you get a few since transfusion is very powerful. In fact you have to use a phoenix to disable other queens in order to stop the transfusion or else you lose. I do this with both phoenix and void rays (+1 phoenix) or you can't deal with queens at all.
Void Rays have been significantly nerfed over time. They lost hp, their 2nd damage stage, range, and I believe there was even a slight speed nerf.
