Effort vs Really Really is a solid terran. However, solid isn't enough to beat Effort's great ZvT. Effort, while somewhat shaky lately, should be able to win handily. 2-0
Zero vs Kwanro ZvZ rematch of MSL Quarters. Zero has forgotten how to ZvZ lately, so Kwanro should take the set 2-0. Not to mention Kwanro crushed him rather badly in MSL.
Good job by Zero actually winning a ZvZ. Once again, not really a great game, just better than the other two. Plus, Zero winning a ZvZ is something we dont get to see very often.
When viewing through Livestream, please don't act like an idiot when given the chance to chat. It gets annoying when chat gets derailed by trolls, so please chat responsibly as if you were to be posting on TL. Remember, these streamers are streaming out of kindness for the community, so please be grateful. Let them fix their stream when it abruptly shuts down instead of saying "This stream sucks. LAG". If it lags and sucks, go stream it yourself.
Last day of RO24 qualifications with some high profile players on the line. Hopefully these games are of higher quality than some of the ones we've seen in this round.
No challenge, you broke my streak yesterday and I kinda cried a little inside. =(
Anyways, I just wanted to make OP so I could get a few words out to the viewing public. It's really bothersome seeing chat at Kentors stream somedays. The number of people who don't appreciate the work of these streamers is something that bugs me. I just want people to know that getting to view these streams is a privilege, not a right. Kentor and Konadora can simply say "Fuckit, I ain't streaming no more" and well, we're back to the days of reading live reports.

You can probably blame whoever is posting the link for the streams on 4chan, from what I understand.
Lings outside Really's base for Effort. Effort tries engaging marines head on, does nothing. Really adding academy and more raxes. Effort takes bottom expo for his third.
Really with some dropship antics at Effort's main, blocked by speedlings. Looks like Effort's game since Really is going home to deal with lurkers at his nat.
Recap: EffOrt tries to force the issue a bit with early agression, but Really defends well, and expands comfortably. EffOrt's mutas are little more effective, but Really simply pushes out and bum-rushes EffOrt's third. In order to defend the initial army and the follow-up, EffOrt is forced to suicide his mutas. Nonetheless, EffOrt's third is intact, and he presses again with lurkers, which Really counters with tanks. Really moves out again to EffOrt's doorstep but drops 8 marines unsupported by medics into EffOrt's base, which are torn apart by lings. EffOrt has also been breaking down the back temple, and the lurkers camping the back cliff shut down Really's nat for a while. EffOrt has survived the tech to hive, and harasses Really's army with a series of attacks at key points, quickly breaking it down. An attempt by Really to get up a third is shut down very fast, and EffOrt takes map control easily. With cracklings streaming into his base, Really ggs.
There's always this moment with EffOrt when the opponent's army looks too strong. EffOrt is the master delayer, he's always able to close out the time window that his opponent has for the attack. Good game.

Recap: EffOrt five-pools, and Really decides he's pro enough to not react at all to the sight of lings charging into his base. He loses his first marine, but gets a second up and puts it in a bunker. EffOrt takes out a supply depot and some more drones in retaliation. Then he double expands (of course). Really has been recovering in the meantime, and has a nice force of marines and medics. Naturally, he supplements this attack with ALL HIS SCVS. EffOrt has a hearty laugh underneath his (-_-) and builds a few sunkens, pulls his drones, and rolls the attack. When EffOrt un-morphs three of his creeps, Really decides he's done trying to qualify for WCG, and that who really needs WCG anyway? Stay classy Really.
I don't think I've seen a player who's so bad at one MU compared to the rest since the old FBH. Zero's probably looking forward to some protoss favored maps so he can win an OSL July-style.

Nope, looks like Zero will lose again.
You were saying?
Guess not, +1 armor really saved him. I'm so spoiled watching JD, Calm, and Effort that this level of ZvZ makes me so frustrated. So many wholes in their micro and play overall.

One of these days, Zero is going to remember how to play ZvZ competently. Until then, I don't think he's going to make a serious run in any league any time soon..
Lol..man so lame. I have 100 % so far this korean wcg. Unfortunately most of them were worth zero points=/ Especially lame since im #18 right now and those few extra points mightve made a big difference.

And sad part is, two of em came in the same series.
Light vs Up games Leta vs MyDream games
what else?
I'd probably say Light vs Up games 2 and 3. Forgot which game of Leta vs MyDream, but one of them was pretty impressive. And the last game of Calm/Best was actually quite good. Other than that, the games have been total garbage.
