Dont forget NaDa. Hes pretty cool too.

I used to be a terran player back in BroodWar and a NaDa fan also. I really wanna see how well he can play now.

WOOOT Cool is playing on the first day ! Vs ButterflyEffect ?! What an epic start it shall be indeed.

Too bad WhiteRa won't play... but then again if he enters they ought to just give the prize money to him and call it a day.

You mean DuckloadRa

 

[Bloodcount]

I mean whiteRa. When I asked him how should I call him, he told me WhiteRa, not DuckloadRa.
Just 'sayin.

Damn, somebody stopped my "lets make this thread go off-topic" -assault..

Anyways, BoXeR games brought a HUGE number of watcher for GSL. Also there will be some BoXeR vs FruitDealer match at Blizzcon! BoXeR is simply a HUGE idol for all those korean sc2 guyes. If someone is going to make sc2 big, its him.

And we are still waiting to see NaDa! Hes pretty cool too. ( He has a pretty good body afterall.. )

 

[Nigerianrulz]

hopefully boxer will be as good as he was before soon so he can pull the biggest comebacks ever in star history again :thup:

boxer is what made me terran since brood

Someone spoiled the GSL season 2 for me by telling me that TLO got kicked out in RO64, now I wont watch it. Maybe if there's some extraordinary matches...

IdrA and Fruitdealer should be enough for you to make you watch it.

The final was epic, intense, thrilling. Everything you could wish for (well, besides macro games, but who likes those anyways?)

And the speech of John (the translator) at the end will go down in history, yep.


Go watch it!

Oh Nada failed us bad.

And he had such a great body....

 

[2-P]

I'm kinda surprised that Protoss seems to be having such a hard time. They didn't perform so well in the second season and this time we have...

Terran : 25
Protoss : 12
Zerg : 26
Random : 1

Terran : 25
Protoss : 12
Zerg : 26
Random : 1

At least this should slowly get rid of the prejudice that Zerg is still vastly inferior to Terran.

Actually I pretty much saw this coming.
Terran play was advancing nicely all the time, Zerg did extraordinary well even though the race was underpowered.
Protoss, on the other hand, seemed to "just be there". There weren't any great successes and hardly any new strategies turned up.
There are excellent Protoss players, but they seem to be missing geniuses like Cool / TLO / Foxer who actually bring the race forward.
