Ok, I've finished. I know how Ret felt afterward, having seen the other thread, but I would still have liked some closure after watching an hour and a half. It didn't feel right ending just after gg.

Regardless. So confident for Ret in TSL after seeing that. The only ZvZs he lost were very very close, and he won 7 back to back prior to that.

Just finished it aswell. Too bad about the last series, indeed felt like you had it. Must feel great to have proven to everyone (including yourself?) that you zvz really is progamer level now. What a great end on the Korea episode. Wish you the best of luck back in the Netherlands, though I had wished you were there to win courage next month! ^^

So many nerds in this video lol.

For those wondering, hyungjun is an insanely famous korean popstar, very good dancer, similar to Rain who was recently in Ninja assassin (which was an awesome movie that everyone should watch.) I also believe he was in a commercial during the MSL final, so if he looks familiar to anyone (as he did to me before i realized who he was) it's not because all koreans look alike, it's because you have actually seen him before.

Also, this is sorta unrelated, but i've heard from my korean friends that he is being tutored by jaedong, so don't take him lightly

Edit: 21:45 - "tightest pants i've seen today" rofl

Couple seconds later: "Oh, look at that... that's quite... ridiculously tight pants. Got his keyboard in hand. 'maybe should've spent less time putting them on... and more time practicing?''

Just finished it.. Sucks man.. He was playing hot in those first 3 games, smoking the opponents.

Seems like he got a little bit nerved the last games though, I don't know why. Nothing substantial, but it seemed like the further he progressed, he was a little less sure that he could keep smashing them. Granted, that last guy was a really good player, but I don't know, I just got that vibe.

I hope he keeps going... I'm dying for a foreigner to show them up and to open up e-sports outside of Korea.

even the top zvz progamers can't promise not to lose a zvz in 8 games.

ZvZ.. even with an incredible appreciation of the match up is a bit of a Russian roulette in the sense that it's just so fragile.. and to play that many ZvZs is really a testament to how good ret's ZvZ has gotten. he knocked out the zerg that made it to the GF's last courage.. then some cheesie newb knocks Ret out 2-1 on his way to the top four.. if only Ret could hang around another month..

Wow, that was siiiiiiiiiick. He played unbelievably solid -- 7 wins in a row -- and I was excited to find out he beat the last round's finalist. Sick shit, Jos. TSL is yours. Kick that IdrA kid's ass.
