    Let me guess, the grand finals is going to be a B03 as well?

    That MKP vs Alicia series would of been so much better as a Bo5 :(

    I'm honestly not sure. I'm just glad there's no extended series nonsense.

    So what is it? With an extended series it would of been a B09. Does this mean it's now a Bo5 or Bo7?

    Anyone know?

    Also I don't know about this US NAT Champs shit going on. I have absolutely no interest in watching these two players right now. :/

    If the extended series would have made it a Bo9, then it's a Bo5. Bo3 finals with that stupid fucking rule made it a Bo7.

    It's MLG, so it'll be a BO3 finals UNLESS Alicia wins the first BO3, then it becomes a BO7 basically as Alicia's coming up from the lower bracket, it's basically an artificial extended series in favour of DRG.

    These guys suck compared to DRG. Look at the creep.

    Well, it is the American World Cup Series (or something similar, watching the LoL LB finals, well, I was...) finals so I guess we can't be expecting too much... That said, Rob Simpson & Mr Bitter's casting is enough for me to not bother watching, catching up on VoDs whilst waiting for the grand final.

    Wait, your bitching about creep spread in a ZVZ?

    I haven't been watching the games though, so my bad if I missed something obvious.

    Generally speaking, you don't spread creep in a ZvZ. It helps the other guy just as much as it helps you (unless he's going mutas and you're going hydras, then you want a shitload of the stuff.)

    They're not even connecting their own bases with creep. Makes no sense to me.

    False. You always want creep. ALWAYS.

    Why? Vision.

    I like to see whats happening on the map.

    I rarely see much creep in ZvZ (even when it gets past the ling/bane stage.) Huh.

    Thank god that's over.

    Generally you don't see that much because its tough to do - 4queen openers and the like are pretty bad against other Zs. But the advantage of having better creep spread than your opponent is pretty significant. Makes it a lot harder to sneak around for quick ling counters and such, for one example.

    I hope DRG doesn't just 3-0 Alicia.

    It's definitely made me want to start playing muta in ZvP, it's the matchup I struggle most in.
