Stork needs to work on his sentry control. Those forcefields weren't very good at all.

EDIT: Now THOSE forcefields were incredible.

 

Lol. That is all.

This is shaping up to be an awesome weekend. I cannot wait to see how tomorrow goes. I have the day off work and everything, considering I live in Aus it's on a monday.

 

Oh man. Bisu vs Jaedong after this. And if Flash and Bisu win their game...fuck, even if Bisu loses, that would be so kickass. This is so cool.

 

I personally want to see a Flash vs Jaedong final.

That to me would be the best way to finish tonight.

 

If Bisu doesn't step it up in G2, that's what we're going to get.

EDIT: He did indeed step it up. Flash vs Bisu finals!

 

Da fuck with that last game. Jaedong's next level strategy didn't seem to pan out, sadly.

 

15 hours of MLG today, and that was by far the weirdest stratagy I've seen so far...

 

I watched hoping for some magical combination of transfused, deathless roaches and queens chewing up fungled stalkers and immortals.

But nope, shit just dies.

 

+3 immortals kill roaches really fast.

 

What, you mean like every team sport in history? It's about execution, and how you choose your strategies to counter theirs, in whatever situation you're in.


Anyway, was really impressed with Flash. He made no real mistakes at all, and could quite happily take on any Code S GSL player except maybe some of the top ones. And that will probably change in a few more months.

The other guys were alright, but kept making silly mistakes at times. Like Stork consistently doing bad force fields, Leta's bad marine control and so on.

But if you consider these guys only started playing a couple of months ago, at this rate it'll be no time before they're at the top standard. I especially loved the BW-style of map control being so prominant in the TvZ and PvZ. Or Jaedong's crazy creep spread (the only other SC2 player who does it as well being July, and he's pretty bad in everything else).

It was also insane to see how much improvement there was in each of their subsequent games.

 

Those finals were really disappointing (mostly because they were still a Bo3), but I'm pretty impressed with the play I saw from pretty much everyone. Flash, of course, especially so. They all showed some real potential. I really look forward to seeing them in a few months.

 

I can't believe it was a B03, biggest let down ever.

 

The Kespa tournament was very entertaining. Still not that high of a skill level yet, but fun nonetheless.

As for Jon...


You really think that's what Starcraft is? Have you EVER played it? When you need 300apm to play LOL at a high level, let me know bro.

 

Paid for it (bought the Spring pass waaaay back when Arena 1 was played) but unfortunately missed Friday & Saturday due to being away at a Stag Do, plan on watching some of the VoDs (Stephano vs Polt, Stephano vs MKP, Socke vs Oz to name a few) & then tuning in for Championship Sunday.

Not sure who to root for, a non-Korean would be nice but I'll be damned if I'm not secretly wanting MKP to take another MLG championship title.

 

Dear God.

MRG's creep spread was fucking nuts. This guy is definitely my favorite player to watch even though I was never much of a zerg guy. He just plays the race so well. He's take and take and take and the longer you wait to hurt him the stronger he gets.

Amazing.

 

Man, out of all the players, Alicia is one of the last players I'd expected to hit the grand finals.

I'm really impressed.

 

Damnit, came close with calling MKP for his 2nd MLG CHampionship (I don't really count the Arena's) so it rests on you Alicia to stop DRG...

ALso, Sase's run was insane. 27 - 17 map score, took 6 Korean scalps & came all the way from the open bracket to claim 4th. Not as good as Naniwa's run from the OB to winning that particular MLG but still, incredible run.

 

I think he's gonna get curbstomped, but it'll be nice to watch ZvP.

 

Yeah, Damn Sase. Good shit.
