Well Calm did that Mutalisk vs Protoss on El Nino against Pure which Shine did too, so Shine abused that map perfectly (not based on skills). Shine on game 3 vs Stork AGAIN abused the map of HBR's backdoor minerals and succeeded again. So in a sense, he abuses every single thing he can. His late game is pretty weak, if you watch the game of him vs Stork second game, he crumbled and his army got decimated by Stork's ball of death. His defense is pretty weak.

In the second game he went all-in off of 3 bases and after that scrambled to defend. He was very behind for the last half of the game, it was actually very impressive defense for him not to just roll over. He lost probably 30-40 hydras trying to break Stork's third and didn't kill very many units for it. Imagine Stork trying to break out of that lurker contain with all the hydras Shine lost for nothing present and it's pretty apparent that he wouldn't have been able to for at least 2 or 3 more minutes, if ever. His play style is going to put him into these situations frequently, I would imagine, but it doesn't mean that his lategame is automatically weak, per se.

Also, Shine is different from Kwanro in that his attacks come at much later timings and different economic levels. If anything he's more similar to July's zvp style.

Shine is definitely playing to his strengths which everyone should be doing. I'm just not a fan of his style of play. If there is a weakness in Protoss's defense he exploits it nicely. If there is no present weakness, he tries to force his way in and loses if he can't open an alley for attack. I feel like he plays a more foreign style zerg rather then the common management style with an aggressive undertone.

edit: Oh he also stays true to julyzerg's style more then any other. Jaedong is more of a mix between management and aggressive zergstyles. If this were july people would be kissing his ass right now for taking out bisu and stork with his sexy aggressive play.
this is so true

Now that I have no disposition to any of the remaining OSL players, I want Shine to win the whole thing. There have always been heroes in starcraft, but there as never been a villain. If Shine upsets Flash... dammmnnn,

He is nothing special nor will he accomplish anything ever. its like kwanro in the finals if shine gets into OSL finals. Just a shame.


...Plus, he would rape all you haters in an sc match anyways so show a little respect lol.

i hate statements like this. kwanro would beat 99.9% of TL no problem. doesn't change the fact kwanro fucking blows (relatively) and that final was one of the most miserable excuses of professional starcraft play ever witnessed in an msl championship

Kwanro vs Calm was much more interesting than JD vs Yarnc.

Kwanro is the 4th or 5th best Zerg at the moment depending on which rankings you use.

He's one of only 10 players with an ELO over 2200.

The thing I hate is that new players beat the really good players and then go into a slump. The idea that no-namers gain bonjwa status by beating the favorites is long gone. Just look at Mind, Luxury, ForGG. At least they earned a title. Players like Shine, Type-B, BackHo did nothing of that sort. They will upset the good players because of imbalances in matchups and then go on to the semis, crash and go back to being below 50% win rate players.

Im not even asking them to be bonjwas, at least win some games in the proleague dude!

Are we talking about different players? Because Shine is 9-3 in proleague and a huge reason why WeMade is in playoff contention.

I completely agree. Rock has been in the freaking semi finals of the OSL before too, and he is really good.
