Sadly after all this time with so many tournament threads it still is not clear to many users on this site. There are several types of posts that are not acceptable in tournament threads. Any form of:
Imbalance whine/Player bashing/Caster bashing/Stream complaining
Will result in two day to a week long bans even for first offenses. Please stick to the games at hand and enjoy yourselves with a beautiful event such as this and the free service that comes with it. |

Don't get me wrong, MC is a great player, he is just kinda boring to watch, TBH. Blink stalkers aren't that exciting...
Agreed, having watched July vs Thorzain, its like there is two different games. We simply dont have any foreign zerg atm that can handle a protoss like MC. Socke destroys zergs as well. We have Sen and July, thank god.

Please for the love of god, let at least one foreigner eliminate a korean tomorrow. The rest of the world needs some hope.

How do you figure HuK is pretty much counted as a Korean? HuK is the only foreigner who can compete with koreans atm. Ever heard of that guy named Thorzain? He's said to be pretty good.. Having convincingly beaten MC at the TSL and all... How is 4-3 'convincingly'?

Ya i really wish he tried some infestor play. I'm a MC fan, but I want to see Idra put up more of a fight. There was some sloppy rallying with the roaches after that initial attack... but great job with the evo to counter the dark shrine. Perfect timing!

damn.... all the koreans making it through, i guess the foreigner scene still has to catch up

Day ends / IdrA Loses and the TL Active count jumps to 32k from like 19kish if not less. :O:O

Yeah, blink stalkers are much more massable than roaches. As long as you can do decent blink micro, with that many blink stalkers, there's no reason to lose more than a few stalkers to almost any amount of mass roach. I'm really upset IdrA didn't go for infestors, zerglings to augment his roaches, or get that hydra den earlier (he did make one there but it finished like as the push was hitting). Really glaring mistake, but I'm sure he knows it. Just about everything besides army comp was impeccable though.
|
The army comp for mc was better, stronger, more microable, and had better upgrades. Why are people surprised he won vs pure roach?
|
You are completely missing the point about what people are referring to when they say "Korean" or "foreigner".
are we actually still talking about this? I swear this debate started like 5 hours ago. -.-
|
Ugh, how did Moon beat Whitera? T_T First IdrA loses and now also Whitera. Sigh. Sen and Naniwa and HuK are our only hope.

MC had blink and FFs wtf, MC had it, no infestors from idra, he uses them on his stream why not here
|
As much as people think zerglings suck vs Blink Stalkers, they don't. They fucking rule. You can't individually blink micro back weakened stalkers in the front and most of the time you can't even attack as you're scrambling to get to a wall or high ground.

The problem with this statement is the "Idra can't win with one unit" remark, when that's exactly what MC did. Not saying there is necessarily an imbalance, just pointing out that your statement doesn't make sense.
|
Lol, complaining about blink... really? Idra gets completely outclassed when it comes to the in-the-moment micro decisions, yet again, and doesnt even give himself a shot at resupplying with his massive drone lead... might not have worked, but it's got to be a higher winning percentage than gg'ing...

really? there is some time constraints such a big tournament has... and compared to MLG and ESL we get to see so many matches with comparably so few breaks. I think the dreamhack setup is pretty much the best you can get for a tournament on a weekend with so many players.
