    Yes. I mean, a win's a win, he didn't cheat or anything, but it sucks that such an epic series came down to a cheese win.
     
    That first game was legendary though. Everyone should watch it, even if they don't play Terran.

    Yeah, that was such a pussy move, he got so lucky to find TLO on the first try and TLO scouted his base last. That's the one thing I sorta hate about Starcraft, luck was really the only thing that decided that game. It is also sorta shitty how all the Koreans are like trying to gang up on everyone else and work together to take out the foreigners.

    Yea, but I bet IdrA's booth would have exploded with all the raging going on inside it had he been cheesed in a game 3 like that. I do hope that TLO has more success in the next GSL cause he really is quite good at that game.

    It sucks that we didn't get an epic game 3, but props to hyperdub for doing what he thought would get him the win.

    Because all the foreigners weren't doing the same?

    No, in fact they werent because there was only 4 of them. Yeah, we are cheering them on, but it's not like opposing groups/teams are banning together to make sure all the Koreans are knocked out or something. When ogs and prime get together to tell each other how to beat the foreigners, I find that pretty disgusting.

    I'm just happy that game 1 of that series was probably the most exiting TvT ever played.   
     
    I am happy to see that the TvT matchup is evolving beyond tank-viking, which is boring as hell to watch.

    What lol, are you stupid? Did you even read what I just posted? Also,(even though you probably wont comprehend or in fact read what I am about to say) its called integrity of a sport, two opposing teams dont gang up on another for any reason, that's just plain sleezy.

    Artosis spent an enormous amount of time together with idrA going through a dudes builds through his account and tried to emulate it, the koreans are sharing knowledge of the foreigners playstyles with eacother. 
     
    Same thing

    It's a shame, cheese rarely makes for good games. Whatever though, I like Tester more.

    They maybe did that with IdrA, but I don't like him anyway! :X
     
    TLO (and Jinro) in fact train(s) and live(s) together with the oGs team and seems to be well respected among them.

    @raiz265: Yeah I know, I wasnt really specifically talking about TLO, I was more talking about Idra. Even so, banning together to take out Idra, even if you dont like him, is pretty unsportsmanlike.

    @DoctorWelch I think what you're saying can be right, but only in extreme circumstances. It's not like they ruffed IdrA up in an alley before the game. I think they didn't cross over into any unsportsmanlike play by the way they tried to prepare for him, and, after all, IdrA didn't have to prepare exclusively for the build he thought he would be facing. Furthermore, IdrA most definitely lost game 3 because he forgot to scout any hidden expansions... I think he deserved to lose that game. The reason I was interested to hear about TLO's match was because his loss had more to do with chance and was an extremely ballsy move by his opponent.

    Cheesing a teammate. Definitely odd. I feel like TLO would've checked for cheese if the guy wasn't his friggin' teammate.

    Ugh I want to drop the scratch but I don't know, it seems like a LOT of money for one tournament.  Especially since I won't be able to actually watch it live...  What do I do?  Do I drop the $20?  Agleagleagleagleagle

    Hyperdub knew that TLO has a weak early game, opting for fast factory in nearly all his TvT matches. He exploited that fact with a very well executed proxy rax build, and deserved the win. Jaedong and Flash, the two best brood war players in the world, just played in the finals of the OSL. Jaedong 4-pooled twice, in a best of 5 series. 
     
    Cheese is a part of starcraft, always has been. It's very risky against good players, but can pay off with a win.
