I guess I was wrong. I now have a better idea of what is really going on! Viper felt such an adrenaline rush when he won against Mr. Yo after coming back from 2-0 down, he seeking that same feeling now in every tournament match. Its his new addiction I guess.

I used to be an adrenaline junkie too but it puts a lot of toll on your body over time...so snap out of it Viper!

Edit:

Spoiler

My point is further evidenced by lack of walling in first two games. Viper tends to wall in tournament games...but not in these games...go figure.

What a beautiful tournament without azt or mayans i want to cry of joy, viper got owned in the first game so bad, looks like lojza or Yo are the best choices to win it.

Have you seen those games?

Everybody knows that viper only walls when he is afraid to lose, the third game he was about to lose but zuppi titaniced with his army composition and took the worst mangonel fights in that hill, otherwise viper would have lost, the rest of the games viper got better maps to wall and won by his superior macro, but in fact zuppi gave him a really bad time and close fights, compared to the previous set where viper played lazy, this one was really good to see, viper is the #1 average in aoc but in huns wars he ain't the best, he really needs to train if he wants to win, not like other tournaments where he has the finals for granted.

It's 2016 and people still feel compelled to come on here and rationalize/explain away every Viper loss?

I guess a glass half full person would commend some of you for your stamina.

Re: Arabia 1v1 Invitational R2 Viper vs Zuppi (finl

More like it's 2016 and some people still can't see the differences between a 2k6 player not caring and a 2k6 playing to win.

Re: Arabia 1v1 Invitational R2 Viper vs Zuppi (finl

I forgot that commenting about recordings is very old fashion since everyone already saw the stream and now the recorded games are full with drama or trolls who pretend to be smartasses. :x

Re: Arabia 1v1 Invitational R2 Viper vs Zuppi (finl

Interesting, that everyone is talking about Viper, but noone mentions Zuppi. In my opinion he played great, and showed that he definitely deserves his place in the invitational.

Re: Arabia 1v1 Invitational R2 Viper vs Zuppi (finl

Viper gave the first two games just to make it more exciting. Just as he did vs Stark aswell. Why? Bcz he can :!: :evil:

Re: Arabia 1v1 Invitational R2 Viper vs Zuppi (finl

Is Viper really toying with people that much, deliberately losing the first 2 games and then coming back and winning the final 3 games?

Is there some kind of betting scandal going on behind the scenes?

Seriously though, I would have thought that Viper would want to whitewash everyone by winning 3-0 if he could, crushing the opposition and showing his sheer dominance. It's also more efficient in terms of his using his time, energy and attention to play only 3 games instead of 4 or 5. If it was easy for him to win, wouldn't he want to do so? Apart from money from the betting scandal (I'm kidding……...but seriously) Viper has NOTHING to gain by deliberate throwing these games to make the match "more interesting".

Viper has a 75% win rate on the RM 1v1 ladder. That means he loses 1 out of 4 as standard, so it's not inconceivable that he would lose games to these people in a tournament when they're playing there best (or close to it).

I really think in Group A it's St4rk/Zuppi/Hera that will qualify with Viper. Which one --> I think St4rk vs Zuppi is going to be the crucial match.

Lovecheng appears to have been inactive lately and so I don't think he'll be quite as sharp as the others. He's got the skill to prove me wrong and may have been training hard under the radar.

You obviously have not watch Viper very much. Just watch those first two games vs Stark and Zuppi. Even a 16x knows u should not drush+fc with fwd gold e.t.c

Vs Riut or Jordan this would not be optimal, altough i think he 70% could beat Riut or Jordan 3-0 if he wants to. There is a huge difference between Zuppi, stark and Viper. We dont think it is, bcz we dont understand the diff. We only see units moving and a guy who says gg without clearly understanding the game.
