Add to that soO has had a very difficult time versus Protoss in past finals. Congrats to Stats and condolences to soO. Second place is nothing to sneeze at but he's got to be thinking, "What do I have to do!!!!??". I'm just a bit curious if soO will take a break, keep playing, switch races, or maybe even find a new game? Wish him the best of luck in the future either way. Dude has got to be devastated right now. soO is fine. Look at his twitter. | ||

This is a terrible outcome for sc2. stats is another generic toss, am i supposed to be able to differentiate him and classic,dear, zest, and a long list of other toss players who just blur together? Sucks for Ryung and sucks especially for Soo. User was warned for this post Generic toss? Perhaps you should abandon one minute your ridiculous protoss hate and recognize that he is a world-class pro-gamer that has won his first tittle thanks to relentless effort and dedication to develop his talent. Same in case of soO if he had won. In other words, just show some respect, even if you are not able to appreciate how good he is. | ||

Duck was especially egregious example. But they had stuff outside of the game that made them shine. Aside from those guys, the rest of the long list of toss players just blur together for me. i dont hate protoss i used to play toss because 1a was all i could manage mechanically. a win is a win after all. but they are a poorly designed race with force fields and warp ins, and the latest expo seems to have made things worse with gladepts. banning people doesnt really change that fact, people are still gonna vote with their eyeballs by not watching. soo winning would have been a 100000 times better result since his story is so heartbreaking - now even more so | ||

People don't seem to be voting with their eyes but with their emotions it seems.... a race that has currently ONE player doing well yet we have like 4-5 top Terrans, but it's probably because of Protoss 'bs' that he wins right? Race has 4-5 god like players? The hardest race in the game! Race has 1 good player with the lowest population by far? The EZ race. | ||

Let's instead talk about the genius of SoO to set up for an epic narrative when he wins the GSL in his sixth final! What long term planning. Really generous of him to sacrifice the winning money to give us a more epic story! | ||

Still my favorite Protoss by far. Such a shame he retired my favorite Protoss ever as well but 1/ he evolved quite a lot as a player and was actually incorporating some all-in play in the later stages of his career, which I in fact liked since it made his game more varied and less abusable. 2/ Stats is extremely legit too. He's less handsome though. | ||

He's less handsome though. Great to see there are still Rain fans around. Yeah, he definitely started mixing it up near the end, probably to avoid being blind countered. Like how INnoVation (once and maybe still the most predictable player ever) proxies once in a while. Even super-solid macro players like Dark/Inno/etc throw in some cheese from time to time, but that doesn't detract from their style of playing a flawless game. Stats...well he's definitely gotten more like Rain in recent times but he still shows a lot of aggression and cheese. I don't think perfect defense is actually his style the way it was Rain's. And of course HotS-toss and LotV-toss have some huge differences, so that limits the comparison even more. | ||

Terrans don't have 4-5 top, we have TY and sometimes ByuN or INno at the top at the moment, with Ryung/Maru/aLive as the 2nd tier, whereas Protoss got Stats at the top with sometimes herO or Classic, with Zest/Patience/sOs as the 2nd tier. There is hardly a difference. | ||

I will never forget the double 2 gateway proxy rush for 100k all or nothing. man has balls of steel to all in like that with such high stakes. | ||
