EPTReading abt the visit to korea was great too. Brought back memories of our own trip to the scbw capital of the world. Super worth it!! Our only regret was we didnt go early enough (during the height of BW in korea) and we didnt catch a finals game. To anyone on the fence about going, dont think, just do it!!! Hate to borrow something from today's young crowd -- but you only live once!!

You need to catch up on modern strategies Kwark. My bad. If there's not a Protoss in it then I'm out of the meta. But I feel like I've seen 12 11 quite a lot in recent vods too. My understanding is 12 11 > 8 rax at nat > 12 13 > 10 rax > 12 11. Shine got seriously punished for going 12 13 in the quarters. | ||

Flash's relentless scouting in G1 was very smart. It was very likely that Shine will try an unorthodox build to set the tone of the series and break Flash's momentum. Flash sniffed it out brilliantly by playing super safe and keeping units home (whereas in G2 and G3 he was just on super aggro mode). Shine recovered well in G2 and G3. He played safe and solid, but clearly he couldn't keep up with Flash's mechanics even when he was eking out small wins here and there. Perhaps he could've taken a game or two had he stuck to his risky plays and forced more coin-flips. Or perhaps it would have made the series looked even more one-sided. | ||

Recently on Jaedong's 'Escape from F' he was instructing everyone to go 13 pool so you can get that extra drone out earlier in order to keep up with Terran economy. | ||

When Shine went 12 13 and Mong went 8 rax Shine got reduced to like 7 drones. | ||

It all comes down to the drones. 13 pool makes it a bit harder, but your already in the thick of it if you've been 8 raxed...8 rax is a hard, hard counter to that though.
