From the elite ranks of CJs and T1s fanboy legions joining this prematch interview are IntoTheWow and riptide !
Both CJ and SKT are coming from big victories into this match. Do you think this will affect the psychological momentum in some way? Which team, do you think, has the mental edge before this match?
riptide: Mental edge? Are you kidding me? Any team that goes up against The Masters of The Universe have auto -100 mental edge. I mean, what kind of mental edge can you have when you are driving into the side of a rock? Sorry Entus, but no psyche up talk is going to make you feel better about getting pounded head first into the ground. Get your CJ faces ready, you're gonna need them to mask the pain. -_- IntoTheWow: Hyuk should get most credit for T1's win. CJ did a great stopping KT after all their victories. EffOrt played great, his game vs hyuk should be good.It's hard to call for a mental advantage before the game starts. I think it will be a matter of what happens in the first two games.
SKT choose the well oiled fantasy-bisu-best-hyuk combo for this match, while CJs picks are rather surprising. What are you thoughts about the lineups?
riptide: Admittedly, Best is not his best these days. Still, no one needs to be at their best to play Hydra. I dunno what CJ is thinking. I mean, if you want to give your noobs some experience, send them out against eSTRO KHAN. In fact, as a SKT fan I think that sending out Snow against Bisu is nothing short of downright insulting. The question now CJ, is not if you are going to lose, but how badly you are going to lose. In the end, it's going to come down to Skyhigh and Effort to pull CJ through to an ace, something that really isn't going to happen. Despite the CJ Terran's much hyped TvT, Fantasy is going to take this one and do so in style. Of course, chances are he wont have to. Fresh off a Jaedong snipe, Hyuk is here to wallop Effort as well. On the off chance that this match does go to an ace, there isn't a player CJ has who can out match the wide array of snipers T1 has been preparing for the last year. We took out Jaedong last season and we'll talk out your aces 1a2a3a4a5a ez mode. Bring them on! IntoTheWow: It's not surprise T1 is sending, fantasy-bisu-best-hyuk, after all it's all they have.BeSt got a PvZ, sKyHigh got a TvT and EffOrt a ZvZ. I expect a 3-2, 3-1 for CJ. sKyHigh's match should be entertaining.
Which game will be the most important for the overall victory?
riptide: Well, not a lot to pick from here with Hydra and Snow being played. I guess Hyuk HYUK vs Effort though, because Effort is actually a guy worth playing. IntoTheWow: If sKyHigh can hold against fantasy I think CJ has very good chances of winning. It's hard to predict cause it's the last announced set, so it will depend on the momentum a lot
The 5th set will be on Tornado. Which two players will make an appearance in the possible Ace Match and whats your predictions about the eventual outcome.
riptide: It seems fairly balanced TvZ, so I'm guessing Fantasy, and indeed, what better player to execute an ace than the man who performed the mother of all snipes just two months ago. CJ, you can send out Effort, you can send out Skyhigh, you can even play Iris, it doesn't matter. We got this. IntoTheWow: Tornado is a good Z map. CJ ace choices are rarely standard. We could see EffOrt vs Bisu, but I wouldn't be surprised if T1 sent fantasy and we got sKyHigh again. It will depend on performances. EffOrt won all his PL games so far. Bisu lost to Shine. lol. sKyHigh is on a 10 win streak TvT.
SKT and CJ have arguably the largest and most passionate fanbases on TL. Who do you think will shed tears after this match? Make your predictions about the final score.
riptide: SKT 3 - 0, CJ fans bawl like a babies, and we comfort them with stories of how CJ just might make it to the Semifinals again in the 2009-10 playoffs. IntoTheWow: Well I don't see CJ losing, but even if it happened, we are not babies.bisufans on the other hand, we already saw what happened in the OSL qualy thread after Bisu lost. Click Me!-> Ctrl+F -> search for "imba". haha
Thank you for your time ! Last words?
riptide: Good luck, CJ. Not that luck has anything to do with it, of course. LOL. IntoTheWow:CJ Fighting!~
Poll: Who are you rooting for? (Vote): CJ Entus (Vote): SKT
Poll: Who is going to win? (Vote): CJ Entus (Vote): SKT
I'm afraid this could be 3-0 for SKT, which would make us miss the potential awesomeness of Fantasy vs Skyhigh (and epic ace game).
First game could go either way, but (at least in my book) Best has to be considered favourite.
A while ago I would've laughed out loud if someone said Hyuk would stand a chance against Effort, but his recent game against JD made me really impressed. It's hard to consider him just a fluke after that. Effort is looking really good as well, though, so it should be a good game (for a ZvZ).
Bisu vs Snow is autowin for SKT. Would be a huge upset if Snow survived past the 2 minute mark.
Fantasy vs Skyhigh is game of the night (if we get to see it) on paper. Fantasy is second best Terran overall in the world, and Skyhigh is TvT specialist, so it has a crapton of potential.
If it goes to ace I want Bisu vs Savior, ending with Savior using Queens to humiliate Bisu.
well, i dont see best losing to hydra. his pvz seemed to be quite improved lately. and hydra is... well, tbh i never heard of him before. bisu vs snow should be an autowin. imho it will come down to hyuk vs effort: if hyuk can beat him, a 3-0 is incoming. if not we will see an awesome fantasy vs skyhigh.
id be very surprised if this goes to ace, but if it does i still see skt as favorites.

BeSt < Hydra (best is nowhere near what he used to be) Hyuk < EffOrt Bisu > Snow (But I can't say i'll be surprised if bisu loses) fantasy < sKyHigh (Skyhigh has a stellar TvT)

If only....
Have hope, it could happen. Last time they met, Savior humiliated Bisu by eliminating him. He also won their encounter in that All-Star race battle thingy (if I remember correctly).
Anyone picking Hyuk over EffOrt had their heads in the sand on Saturday's games. I saw Hyuk barely handed a win by an out-of-form Jaedong, and I saw EffOrt make Luxury - a player who hadn't lost in proleague, one of the best ZvZers in history when on-form - look absolutely ridiculous.
Hyuk is much improved this season, but EvZ is way more than he can handle.
(P)BeSt (Z)Hydra \ -> Either Hydra or EffOrt will drop a game so it will be 1-1 (Z)Hyuk (Z)EffOrt / (P)Bisu (P)Snow ->Bisu wins skt1 2-1 (T)fantasy (T)sKyHigh -> Here on will be 2 fairly balanced games but since skt1 will only have to win1 ACE
Voted SKT1, hoping CJ Entus.. CJ could win 3-1 though. (hopefully 3-2 so I get moar fantasy points, sAviOr wins ace match)

(-_-)
I LOLED hard. And i Will LOL Again when the game is over. Hyuk is on fire and he outperformed so much Jaedong that even OZ couldn't believe what was going on.
I can't beleive people think Jaedong is out of form...
HE'S PLAYED 4 GAMES THIS MONTH -.-;
Yea he's gone 2-2, but one of those was a bo loss, then revenging that loss in the ace (vs zero) and the other is the hyuk loss. No need to start jumping up and down proclaiming the end.
Best's PvZ has been very decent lately, though he can always turn on his B-team mode so I wouldn't count on him much for a win. Though Hydra is also a mediocre Z, so it's either gonna be a rape fest by Best, or a game of who sucks more.
Even though Hyuk hyuked JD twice, it might be just this thing between the two of them (like how Bisu constantly lost to by.hero and shits). Effort is a pretty solid zerg. It's painful to say this but i do think Effort will win this.
Bisu, who is the fuck is Snow anyway?
A toss-up imo. Both are the top Terrans at the moment. Though skyhigh might have a slight advantage because of his solid play in TvT. But then again, it's fantasy we're talking about, who always has cute tricks up his sleeves which can turn his game into a rape fest.
Either CJ will take this 3-1 or SKT will 3-0 if Best has his S-class mode on and Effot gets Hyuked.
In a completely unrelated story, SKT has been 3-0, 1-3, 3-0, 1-3 and 3-0 so far. CJ fanboys are hoping that the logic will apply again tomorrow. We will see.

Hey man, credit where credit's due: Hyuk beat Jaedong after pretty much mirror BO's (JD actually had an advantage since he went for expo and then lings whereas Hyuk did the opposite). Effort played amazingly against Lux, but he got a big fucking advantage because of his BO.

Anyone who seriously predicts that Hyuk will beat Effort needs to watch this game first, then think again
I just hope that Effort keeps up his current form.

Of course you know that after your article JD is gonna go into a slump and never recover. It's inevitable.

I have watched that game, and he got a big advantage by BO. He did play an awesome game after that though, and capitalized on his advantage perfectly. But Hyuk deserves some major fucking props for taking down Jaedong after actually being behind because of BO's, and counting preliminaries he's 13-2 in his last 15 ZvZ's. Effort is still favourite, but not by a lot.

I am not taking anything from Hyuk, he played greatly as well.I am just saying that Effort should have no problem winning, unless of course some major BO disadvantage comes to play.

Not to mention Hyuk's crazy muta micro in his game against Jaedong, when both went the EXACT SAME BUILDS.

This. Anytime Jaedong loses 2 games it's slump talk, what the fuck?
Why are people discussing Jaedong in a thread for a matchup with two of the best Zergs playing in it? Recent matches have shown that Jaedong isn't playing on Hyuk's or Effort's level, so don't bring the noob into it.
Hmmmm, very solid line up from SKT1.... I would say its definitely going to ACEEE thus then, it could go either way (CJ:SKT1 2:3 or 3:2) : ) IMO EffOrt would probably be their best bet against Bisu unless its another snipe from sKyHigh
you people predicting hyuk over effort did you even watch effort's last zvz?
Also you guys are treating hydra this season like you treated movie last season. Have you forgotten Hydra's amazing minor league record? He is in no way destined for mediocrity.

Hyuk beat the best ZvZ player in the world with a slight BO disadvantage; he just plain outplayed Jaedong himself. If that doesn't impress you, then all I can say is; fanboy.
It's incredible fun to see ppl coming here and saying "hey wtf! don't u see effort's last game". A game is not one-sided. Hyuk is playing an incredible ZvZ this days and to prove it he beat the master of ZvZ using the same BO what shows his micro/macro is on fire.

there is a difference between outplaying jaedong in one game (ignoring the fact that effort did it in 3 straight) and changing the entire 1 hatch vs 2 hatch dynamic.
One is a good game, one might change the way zvz is played out in the future.

Hyuk has beaten Jaedong in the last 2 games they played. And what Effort did has been done before.
I never said Jaedong was slumping. I said he was out-of-form for that game. Angry Jaedong would not get out micro'd by Yuck!.
EffOrt is going to roll Hyuk, there's just no other way to put it. Pair that with Hydra's upcoming embarrassment of WoRsT, and sKyHigh's #2 TvT ability, (In all fairness, I love fantasy) and you've got a 3-1. CJ victory.
Snow will lose to Bee Suit though. I give you that much.

Explains a lot. I guess that's the side-effect of being miserable KHAN fan n_n;
Yeah and OP has and always are a SKT fan and still he changes tag to Khan :S
Just to make it clear once and for all, I'm not a fanatical fan of any pro team, I like many of them for different reasons. Above all else I'm a Bisu fan but as far as teams are involved, my list will be
1. ACE 2. SKT 3. KHAN .. ....
.... ... 97. Oz
There are so many great personalities in the different teams its really hard to pick one as a constant favorite. I feel great sympathy for KHAN at the moment cause they are doing really bad and I wish they get back to their glorious days.
[b]BeSt[/b] < Outsider SE > Hydra Although Hydra is a relative newb, he is still a CJ zerg. However, Best's PvZ seems to have improved recently; obviously Best hasn't been as good as he used to be, but right now I don't think he's as bad as he used to be either..
[b]Hyuk[/b] < Moon Glaive > EffOrt Perfect skill and APM seem to matter less with Hyuk than with other zergs; you can sort of see that from his relatively slower reactions and slower unit movements. But, his absolutely perfect micro decision-making, and his good strats, more than makes up for any disadvantages that he has in speed. I like to think of him as a more determined and focused Stork of PvP. Since Effort can't match JDs skills and decision-making, I really don't see how Effort can stand more of a chance against Hyuk than JD could.
[b]Bisu[/b] < Heartbreak Ridge > Snow lol yeah.. short of a creative, perfectly thought-out, and perfectly executed cheese/build by Snow, he is gonna get raped
Closer: Bisu/Fantasy < Tornado > Anyone they're sending Unless CJ has prepared something specifically against a player that they correctly predicted will play as ace, gg from CJ, no team can deal straight-up with SKTs ace selections imo.

Looks like sktt1 will win 3-2 but hyuk over effort is not reasonable. hyuk may be better that he used to be but he's still only the 3rd wheel, while effort is the centerpiece of cj's lineup.

If tomorrow EffOrt wins everyone will see it as something absolutely normal but if Huykster destroys the neo-savior, your last 10 posts will look so ridiculous. Either way I dont see a reason why you are trying to compare these two players or even put them on pair when "your" guy is the clear favorite. Ofc it will be a huge upset if Hyuk manages to take this one as well
Goddamnit, when did I call Hyuk ZvZ bonjwa? In my first post I said:
''A while ago I would've laughed out loud if someone said Hyuk would stand a chance against Effort, but his recent game against JD made me really impressed. It's hard to consider him just a fluke after that. Effort is looking really good as well, though, so it should be a good game (for a ZvZ).''.
What I am saying is, it's not unreasonable to predict Hyuk over Effort. Effort is still the favourite, but ZvZ is a volatile match up, and Hyuk is currently kicking ass in it.

Hydra? Snow? Where the hell is ThugToss?
It makes no sense to play Movie against a lineup that is as zerg-weak as SKT. All the other players that SKT could field would be the favorite in the other 2 matchups.
Plus, if you don't remember, this is where CJ gets its depth: it builds up rookies quickly by throwing them into televised games and getting them accustomed to the pressure. Have you already forgotten back when Movie, Skyhigh, and Effort were all merely rookies and people were saying "Movie? Effort? Where the hell is Iris?"

Hyuk is 3rd wheel because his ZvT is trash. It's like Firebathero on Khan's lineup: just because he's basically an auto-loss in TvP doesn't mean he can't put up a good fight against someone like Flash in TvT.

This.
There's a difference between saying that it will be a rape in favor of Effort, that Hyuk will win, and that it will be close. IMO it will be close. Effort's ZvZ is good, but it's not so good that Hyuk can be counted out. Anyone who can take Jaedong in a straight up game the way Hyuk did is at least good enough to put up some kind of fight against Effort. Honestly, CJ fans are treating this like Hyuk is some B-rate zerg, when the match is way closer than that.
Best vs Hydra will be interesting, we'll be able to see if Hydra might be put into future rotation and if Best's pvz has descended even more.
Hyuk vs Effort might break my heart. I hope it doesn't.
Bisu vs snow... well CJ's probably looking for another toss to play now that Grandpatoss is gone.
Fantasy vs Skyhigh: Looking forward to this the most probably, Skyhigh's been stellar at TvT lately, but he can't afford to get behind against Fantasy too much and then try to pull out the s-class TvT.
Hydra is still fresh off the B-team, he won't stand a chance against Best. Let's be real here - Best is on a 3-game PvZ win-streak. Against Chavi, Firefist, and Hyun. You might say "But they suck!". Well, they're better than Hydra.
Hyuk has shown enough ZvZ proficiency to be considered a legitimate threat against Effort. The momentum is his and I think he'll take it.
Worst case, Hyuk and Fantasy both drop their games and it goes to ace match - CJ doesn't have anyone who can take down Bisu.

I wouldn't be sure about that. Tornado is a zerg-favored enough map that Effort could take the game from Bisu, especially given Bisu's recent spotty PvZ.
Considering the fact that Bisu recently lost a Bo3 against Shine, I don't think it's going to far to say that Effort at least stands a chance against him.

I'd say hes the favourite in possible ace match between them, considering Bisu's recent performances versus zergs and the map that they will play on.But its Bisu afterall, so really anything could happen. I just hope that this match actually goes to ace, and that coaches won't mess arround with their picks in it.

Best > Hydra (his PvZ is better then ever) Hyuk < Effort (tough one to call...would be both happy and disappointed if Hyuk won...) Bisu > Snow (lol) Fantasy < Skyhigh (tough to call again, Skyhigh did really bad in individual leagues) Bisu < Savior (Savior is their Tornado player this week, and who else but Bisu?)

Why would CJ play Movie in the ace whey 9 times out of 10, SKT's ace WON'T be a Zerg? Sure Movie's non-PvZ matchups are improving, but they're still not up to par to bet on him in an ace game (especially given the risk that he ends up in a PvP against Bisu).
Effort v Hyuk and Fantasy v Skyhigh will be interesting.
Fantasy should beat Skyhigh imo because both are OVERRATED imo, but at least Fantasy has proven himself a few times... and at least he's still in one of the starleagues.
Oh, and anyone who thinks Bisu is a sure-win on Tornado is an idiot or fanboi. ESPECIALLY given that Effort is on CJ.

fantasy or possibly even Canata if fantasy vs Skyhigh goes long is SKT's ace. TvZ on Tornado is 7-3.
no metter how you look at it~ it looks like a 3-1 win for CJ
However the wild card here is Hyuk. ( i never thought i would say this ) He DID take down jaedong last week, but Effort DID beat Luxury in an epic ZvZ. Must watch
BeST isn't what he used to . but hydra is a B level Zerg so we'll see And Fantasy seems to be slipping a bit. Skyhigh is "sky - high" right now so i expect him to win it
all in all if Hyuk can win his game and bisu roll snow this should go to ace

He's pretty "sky-high" TvT wise and guess what, fantasy is Terran.
Quite easy to predict imo, the only game i'm not sure about is BeSt vs Hydra, neither of these players is worthy of playing in PL, otherwise EffOrt is a beast and does NOT lose, Hyuk is known for losing focus over longer games hence he has good ZvZ (which he started showing just recently).
Snow is amazing, but whenever CJ sends him out you see him being crushed by the pressure, and Bisu is unable to lose a PvP to anyone but Stork (and possibly Tigertoss soon).
sKyHigh has the best TvT in the world and in his interviews pretty much showed that he's all about PL, i dare anyone to show me a game from Flash from last season which didn't start with Flash going factory>cc. sKyHigh's flexibility will easily crush fantasy's messy play whether he goes for Dropship harass or anything else, the only possible way to lose for sKyHigh would be 1-port wraiths vs 2-port wraiths BO loss.
Should this go to ace i have to predict Bisu>Movie, but it could very well be Hyuk<Movie aswell.

imo Tornado is a pretty Z map. It might as well be another Hyuk vs Effort
3-1 CJ with Bisu taking the ONLY win against a weak Toss which I'm sure will make him feel better after the Shine incident.
Worst case scenario: the entire SKT1 team beats their hands into bloody pulps out of frustration as CJ stomps all over them causing them to lose the proceeding match as well. Yeah, CJ is gonna win so hard they'll beat SKT1 in the next game without even playing.
(--_--)
On a more serious and less fanboyish note I think it will probably come down to an ace match between Effort and Fantasy where the outcome will be up for grabs.
Yeap, I think SKT will send out a T for ace match if anything. Fantasy is obviously the first choice, but then I'm hoping for someone else (we all are): BOXERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

And of course, SKT fans would collectively facepalm as CJ reveals Skyhigh as their ace, and Hyuk gets to show an excellent display of his trash ZvT.

That doesnt mean I cant totally respect and adore his play. That 5th game on Loki II... I was near tears at the end. His rivalry with Bisu always puts a smile on my face, no matter who is the winner
To all of the people saying Hyuk > Effort is impossible, it's not. Everyone is citing Effort v Luxury, but in that game Effort had a huge BO advantage, and was just able to dictate play from then on with his much much much faster 2 hatches and 2nd gas. He did an awesome job capitalizing on his advantage, but that does not automatically make his ZvZ godlike because he was given the position to be able to do that due to the BO win.

TvT's are long, I expect skyhigh and fantasy will want to rest.
hmmm this one could go either way really. I don't know. Maybe it'll be another 1-3 for SKT1 since they seems to be following that pattern. Could also be a 3-0 just like all their other victories though. 3-0 is easy if Hyuk is in form like he has been in ZvZ's.

Jaedong played mediocrely. Hyuk is just a better ZvZer than he is currently. You cannot use Jaedong as a yardstick to judge Hyuk's chances against Effort.

This man is right. Jaedong and Hyuk were equal going into the final battle (if not adv Jaedong). Plus, Jaedong had drones and buildings under him which surely ate up some of the worm-glaive hits. I didn't look at upgrades, but JD got spanked in that battle i'm sorry to say.

He's referring to Hyuk beating Jaedong in the PL playoffs, not the last game. There's an "and" between "BO win" and "sketchy win". He's calling the last game a "sktechy win"
By the way, Hyuk is clearly a very good ZvZ player. But EffOrt might have the best ZvZ or anyone at this point. EffOrt will win.
I predict a triangle amongst JD, Hyuk, and Effort in the ZvZ masters realm after tonight's game. Effort's beaten JD before too, but Hyuk straight up'd JD so its gonna be good. As for the ace, I say it's Bisu vs Effort. Effort > Bisu.

Looking at both of there recent ZvZ stats I'm inclined to say that Hyuk actually looking stronger ZvZ than effort.
See this is the kind of stuff I'm rallying against. I'm not saying (and never did say) it was impossible for hyuk to take a b01....but statements like this are ridiculous. I'm not sure if SKT or KHAN fans are worse at overhyping their players.

Can i have an unbiased CJ fanboy(or the closest thing to it) give me a legitimate reason why the person who beat jaedong straight up with no BO advantage is a "huge underdog"? I mean in ZvZ you have about 1/3 of the games decided immediately by BO's and another 1/3 where a BO advantage basically gives you the game. I'm not arguing that Hyuk isnt an underdog, but considering its ZvZ i'd say if Hyuk and Effort played 100 games Hyuk could probably win about 40. I just dont understand why all the Cj fans are treating Hyuk as a random newb who is an auto-loss to Effort.

you said it yourself winning 40% of the time is not very favorable
edit: I don't think Hyuk is a "huge" underdog, but he is definitely an underdog against Effort.
The moral of this story is that ZvZ is a messed up matchup where little things mean victory or defeat (not that this was the case in JD v Hyuks last match).
On top of that, being good in ZvZ clearly doesn't translate to other MUs. Look at Hyuks vT. The matchup is an anomaly and should be seen as such.
if you really consider the MU. theres no such things at underdogs in ZvZ shit happens. game ends. Hyuk is the underdog because when its all over, he has a shitty record and effort has a good one.

No one's saying he isn't the underdog. That much is obvious. But there are people who are treating that match like Effort winning is a foregone conclusion when 1) Hyuk has been playing well lately and 2) ZvZ is quite possibly the most volatile matchup in the game.

13-2 in his last 15 ZvZs is a shitty record? Not to mention 26-6 in his last 32. Although I'll concede that he is the underdog. Just for comparisons sake, EffOrt is 8-7 in his last 15 ZvZs. where is this EvZ you speak of? Before CJ fans kill me, that's a joke -.- I realize Effort played better people than Hyuk, just saying ZvZ is toss up. In all seriousness though Effort has a bad habit of 12 hatching against 9-pool speed cough -Calm- cough. Hoping for a BO neutral game and a good one regardless of who wins. Wow, i just realized most of this thread is attacking or defending Hyuk XD. who would've thought that 4 months ago.

hyuk has a had a couple (literally a couple) impressive zvz victories lately. People shouldn't get ahead of themselves. I personally think hyuk is 30/70 underdog

Likewise, people are saying that Hyuk can basically be counted out entirely.
I'd give the match 40/60, but given that these percentages are not an exact science to begin with, it's sort of splitting hairs.

Yep, I'm 3rd in FPL right now and it kind of sucks that 2 of my players will definitely lose today. And if Hyuk wins, well, Effort's (possibility of a 6-win-)streak dies too (although I get streak breaking points).
Anyone know what results would get me the most points because I'm still not 100% sure how the point system works.
1. I have Bisu, Hyuk, Iris, and CJ Entus on my FPL. 2. Bisu currently has a 4 game win streak. 3. Hyuk has a 1 game win streak. 4. EffOrt has a 4 game win streak. 5. sKyHigh has a 2 game win streak.
Bisu < Tornado> sKyHigh +2 Points for Bisu's 6 game win streak +1 Points for Bisu breaking sKyHigh's 3 game win streak +4 Points for Bisu winning Ace Match +1 Points for CJ's 2-3 score +4 Points for SKT's 3-2 score (Nevermid, I don't get these 4 Points) +1 Points for Bisu being on SKT +1 Points for HyuK being on SKT
So a grand total of +13 points if it goes according to my wishes?

Dont you have CJ entus? how do you then get +4 points for SKT winning 3-2? and iirc a win in a normal game is +2 not +1.
you get 1 point for line up, 2 points for winning (ace included)
team wins give you 1 point per player on your team
3-2ing gives you 4 points from your team.
edit:
the best outcome is Hydra Hyuk Bisu Skyhigh Hyuk (+1 streak bonus)
this gives: Hyuk: +2 set win, +2 ace win, +1 team win, +1 streak, +1 streak break, +2 ace match appearance, +1 line up appearance = 10 Bisu: +2 set win, +1 set appearance, +1 team win = 4 Iris: None CJ: +1 for going 2-3
Edit: forgot about hyuks streak break, that's another point for hyuk.
AND forgot bisu gets 2 points for a 6 game win streak, oops. so bisu in ace gives 16, hyuk in ace gives 15.
someone check though, this might be wrong I have better shit to do like study for econ :/

Bisu < Tornado> sKyHigh +2 Points for Bisu's 6 game win streak +1 Points for Bisu breaking sKyHigh's 3 game win streak +4 Points for Bisu winning Ace Match +1 Points for CJ's 2-3 score +4 Points for SKT's 3-2 score (Nevermid, I don't get these 4 Points) +1 Points for Bisu being on SKT +1 Points for HyuK being on SKT
So a grand total of +13 points if it goes according to my wishes?
Good mutalisk pressure by Hydra, Best countering with Zealots but I don't think it's working out. DT drop is taking out the third base easily but Best's main is out of commission. Correction, Zealots are doing a lot of damage, DTs are taking out the drones in the main.
Mutalisks finally leave the base due to archon, 2 DTs run away from the zerg main, Best is definitely ahead after this harass, mutalisks are ineffective due to sair archon

And due to BeSt actually making corsairs, which actually killed OLs, meaning Hydra was sort of short on supply the whole game. Seriously I don't know how he even managed to build the mutas.

Lets see who he beat recently, chavi, firefist, crazy-hydra, right now hydra, and yarnc. Bunch of no name zergs with a zvp failure like yarnc. What an impressive record!

I agree. Considering what he lost, he still managed to put up some sort of a fight

It doesn't really matter who he beat, but rather how improved his play is. His pvz play has been very different compared to before.

Better doesn't mean good. But it also doesn't mean bad, that's determined by playing good zergs, which he hasn't had the chance to encounter yet.

Playing against scrubs makes your play look better. I want to see him play against people like calm and jaedong.
More lings spawning for Effort, but hyuk might have more, effort's spire is coming up around same time as hyuk, trying to harass more, loses a ling, hyuk kills a lot of effort's lings in a failed attack
Oh my... Reading the first 14 pages of this was so fucking worth it! 14 pages full of "Effort just reinvented ZvZ, no way is he losing to Hyuk", followed by a 4 min rape! Fucking worth it. Thanks, CJ fans.
I remember hyuk as the guy who played great and when great harassed hyuk's main with muta, hyuk left his muta sitting around and loses all his drones and runs his mutas into 3 spore colonies and loses.
How is he so good now? What happened to his failness?

I have Effort on my team as well, but it was so worth it to see Hyuk 2-0 the Best zergs in the game with straight up play and not so much as a BO advantage.
There are 4 players to look out for after the end of age of bonjwa, and they are flash, bisu, jaedong, and stork. 2 of the 4 is usually dominant.
I think flash and stork are on the rise again. Bisu and jaedong are falling and stork and flash are rising to battle for the #1 kespa spot again like they did end of last year.

Pokju was worse, it was absolutely ridiculous how he somehow outproduced him after proxying with a weaker eco, and then won the game. Pokju retired shortly after that game, not even a question.
Bisu vs Pokju was waay worse In this game it looked like Snow might of had a chance if he pulled off some brilliant play but vs Pokju that was so over from the start

Not as entertaining as actually seeing good games between top players.
I wonder if Bisu was to proxy another top protoss like Stork if he would of done it the same way ( at the choke entrance ) or would he hide the proxy instead?

I don't know, but i think Stork's smart enough to scout after gate when his team is losing 0-2 and hes playing P on HB.

I didn't watch the first game. But judging from how fast it ended, it should be a one-sided rape. Hyuk outlinged Effort and claimed No #1 zerg. Bisu forgot his lub again this time.
Wow, this was supposed to be one of the premier matches in SC, but along with the KT-Oz game its a pretty shitty night despite my favorite team sweeping. Quality of games not what we would expect seeing 5 of the top 10 players in the lineup tonight. + Show Spoiler +
KTF 3-0's Oz with JD losing to 815. Almost takes a little luster of of Hyuks win now.

Normally I would agree with you but the OP clearly put in a lot of effort into the post, with good graphics and pre-game interviews and etc. The amount of effort he did is a lot greater than the effort it would take you to browse the thread to find the results, which is almost the point of LR threads (you find out what happened, how it happened, etc.). When OP's effort > your effort, in my opinion it's okay to let him fuck up once in a while and not update the results immediately.
Nah man u gotta recommend Bisu's game. It was very entertaining. Cheese is always entertaining to watch cause its short and fast paced. Also, Op was like 5-10 minutes late after results came out. Don't be so damn impatient.

Agreed, I really like how Disciple does those short interviews, banners and all those other things. You can tell he does put work into the OP's.
On October 28 2009 14:14 disciple wrote: why is Bisu cheesing again anyway ?
Why should he waste his time practicing for real games against Perfectman and Snow?
When you think about it there's a very legit reason. By cheesing Snow he turns the game into an all-out micro war, and we all know who is going to win that one. If he plays a macro game Snow could conceivably 4-gate Bisu and win. No need for him to take the risk.

No , the man is right. Its not the first time it happens with me, that I leave the OPs unattended. Its not really the reason thats important, nobody cares why a service isnt provided, the fact is that it isnt provided. Still the worst case scenario was to get here exactly one hour later with all the games already finished.

Nobody cares why a service isn't provided because people are assholes. It's not like you get paid to do this, and it's not like you'll be fired for being human and making a mistake with daylight savings time (which millions of people do in one way or another every time). People need to appreciate the effort you put in, need to understand that sometimes SHIT JUST HAPPENS and you can't tend to the thread, and that it's not too much effort to open the entire thread and search for "-" and click enter a few times to get to the results.
EDIT: Don't be stupid, don't stop making quality OPs because you missed an hour due to daylight savings time (happens what, twice a year potentially?).
Honestly, missing updating the results by just an hour is not that bad. I can understand some people being annoyed when they come to check the results the next day and there's nothing there, but there's really no harm in missing the results when the match wouldn't even normally be finished anyways...

Hyuk and Effort had one of the largest all ling battles that I've seen in a long time and Hyuk just steamrolled over Effort's lings with an equal number or great. Effort really failed to keep tabs on his opponent's production until he was run over.

Sometimes you CAN'T know that something will come up, and that's a fact of life. People who can't accept that are unrealistic and disrespectful in cases like these.

Don't let ONE guy who doesn't know what hes getting put you down. We all love your OPs and 99% of us couldn't care less that the results sections is somewhat delayed, if you really care you are reading or watching.
While I don't mind results being a hour late or whatever, if you make the topic you really should stick around to edit in streams and such.
Yo. No one is arguing against that. But he missed it because of DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME, which will fuck you at any part of the day (night, morning, daytime) regardless of where you are. It was an innocent mistake, and it's not like a doctor came to the hospital 1 hour late and his patients died, it's a website where people put in effort for FREE to provide you with content. Now people are bitching that the updates which they can find themselves with a little effort are not presented to them on a silver platter because the person who doesn't get paid but still puts in work to help us out and create great OPs for us was late by 1 HOUR due to once again I reiterate DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME. Get a reality check people.
Why are you so angry? 3 people complaining (including me) is not exactly some sort of crushing wave of bitching.
EDIT: Are you making us some sort of monolithic entity of whine? Does that make it easier for you to direct your hate?
We're just all worried because he said he'd stop making these threads because of his "failure".
If it means flaming the fck out of everyone who whined to keep disciple posting, consider my torch lit.

For every person who had the nerve to post something of that nature there are probably 10 more who feel just as righteous in complaining about a free feature being updated 1 hour late by a person, who like most of us, has a life and makes mistakes sometimes. You're basically going to a charity and telling them that they are assholes because they had to give out food 1 hour later, except this is not nearly as serious or influential on anyone's life.
EDIT: I don't need to dramatize your behavior to have a reason to "hate" you; your lack of respect and perspective on the matter is sufficient. I can't tolerate a person getting bashed after
1. Making a common mistake 2. about something that isn't that important 3. that is easily bypassed by a little effort invested by those who are complaining 4. and doing a free service to the community.

lol no need of drama here. As Plexa said I will just get banned next time something like this happens again. But again I dont want it to be like , some happy normal guy having the simple need of being provided with a service, which is actually not a big deal to be took care of, to click one day on LR thread, to see that I was the one who made the OP and to say to himself "oh god, here we go again, he wont update it" .
I want to create an image to myself as a responsible guy, who is easy to work with, cause he can make the job done. Thats why when stuff like that happens I look stupid to say the least

This is very, very important. Please stop making LR threads if you aren't willing to edit match results as they happen. This is even more important to point out in this era of standardized SPL thread templates. It's not enough to just list the matches in the OP. We can read that in the calendar. I also see a lot of "predictions" that are just one line of cursory, unjustified bullshit like "I think SKT 3-0 but if it gets to ace then 2-3." The same thing happens to the recommended games, but there it is a little more excusable.
So yeah... if you make an OP, please be prepared to update the game results, edit in stream options, and provide thoughtful, elegant predictions (or just compile stats so we don't have to find them ourselves). Otherwise please leave the OP to someone else!
Normally I would agree with you but the OP clearly put in a lot of effort into the post, with good graphics and pre-game interviews and etc. The amount of effort he did is a lot greater than the effort it would take you to browse the thread to find the results, which is almost the point of LR threads (you find out what happened, how it happened, etc.). When OP's effort > your effort, in my opinion it's okay to let him fuck up once in a while and not update the results immediately.
No , the man is right. Its not the first time it happens with me, that I leave the OPs unattended. Its not really the reason thats important, [nobody cares why a service isnt provided, the fact is that it isnt provided. Still the worst case scenario was to get here exactly one hour later with all the games already finished. If Canata was playing a TvT in the first set I was going to be here exactly for the second game, which would be ok
Nobody cares why a service isn't provided because people are assholes. It's not like you get paid to do this, and it's not like you'll be fired for being human and making a mistake with daylight savings time (which millions of people do in one way or another every time). People need to appreciate the effort you put in, need to understand that sometimes SHIT JUST HAPPENS and you can't tend to the thread, and that it's not too much effort to open the entire thread and search for "-" and click enter a few times to get to the results.
EDIT: Don't be stupid, don't stop making quality OPs because you missed an hour due to daylight savings time (happens what, twice a year potentially?).
I wasn't so much criticizing one person in general - I understand Disciple makes sick OPs, and I respect that. I was more venting out of frustration that it's happened a lot lately, and some of them were shitty OPs. Honestly this is a perfectly acceptable reason here, I did not know that this had happened. Another side of this frustration comes from when I got a PM from mod staff telling me finish them or don't make them because I missed the end of one LR thread.
Disciple - please don't take this personally, I was ranting at a general trend here, your thread happened to be the unfortunate venue. I really enjoy your OPs actually. Please keep making them. Honest mistakes happen, DST fucks with everyone.

So he's a drama queen because he quit before I even offered my extremely mild criticism. That's 2 people who toppled his house of cards. One of whom had a quite angry post but which was one run on sentence, the other of which was really tame. In fact, I would say oBlade's post was very polite.

Anyone who feels that way can make their own LR thread that will most likely have inferior content and presentation, and thus inferior attendance, and will be proven wrong when you update the thread as you generally do (and on the off-chance that you make a mistake then the thread's existence is justified).

My first response was reserved and explanatory. After that, when others began to continue criticizing disciple even after the DST revelation, is when my intolerance for your intolerance kicked into high gear.
Also, I think you are referring to me in the last part of your post, because disciple has actually sided with you from the start. If that is the case, then read what I said above.

Just because I use colorful language and call you out on your shit, it doesn't make me the only e-amoral person here. Asshole is a personality description, and in my opinion only assholes would try to argue what you tried to argue. GTOJudge is exempt because
1. He didn't mention anyone in specific 2. Was not aware of disciple missing it only by 1 hour due to DST 3. Did not try to continue the argument after finding out the new developments
So, the assholes are self-evident.
EDIT: And yes, people have been banned before for not updating LR threads in a timely manner.
Also, DoctorHelvetica, that's the kind of bullshit I'm talking about. Ungrateful dogs.

Nobody cares why a service isn't provided because people are assholes. It's not like you get paid to do this, and it's not like you'll be fired for being human and making a mistake with daylight savings time (which millions of people do in one way or another every time). People need to appreciate the effort you put in, need to understand that sometimes SHIT JUST HAPPENS and you can't tend to the thread, and that it's not too much effort to open the entire thread and search for "-" and click enter a few times to get to the results.
EDIT: Don't be stupid, don't stop making quality OPs because you missed an hour due to daylight savings time (happens what, twice a year potentially?).
I wasn't so much criticizing one person in general - I understand Disciple makes sick OPs, and I respect that. I was more venting out of frustration that it's happened a lot lately, and some of them were shitty OPs. Honestly this is a perfectly acceptable reason here, I did not know that this had happened. Another side of this frustration comes from when I got a PM from mod staff telling me finish them or don't make them because I missed the end of one LR thread.
Disciple - please don't take this personally, I was ranting at a general trend here, your thread happened to be the unfortunate venue. I really enjoy your OPs actually. Please keep making them. Honest mistakes happen, DST fucks with everyone.
I know that this was before you knew the full situation and you haven't tried to persistently argue the point. I have no problem with you, and I know that you weren't targeting anyone. Unfortunately your post brought out the assholes in the thread, but that's not your fault.
PS - Happy birthday!
If you forgive him, tell me where are these "assholes"? I'm serious about this. Go back, read. Do you see where the aggression starts?

This is very, very important. Please stop making LR threads if you aren't willing to edit match results as they happen. This is even more important to point out in this era of standardized SPL thread templates. It's not enough to just list the matches in the OP. We can read that in the calendar. I also see a lot of "predictions" that are just one line of cursory, unjustified bullshit like "I think SKT 3-0 but if it gets to ace then 2-3." The same thing happens to the recommended games, but there it is a little more excusable.
So yeah... if you make an OP, please be prepared to update the game results, edit in stream options, and provide thoughtful, elegant predictions (or just compile stats so we don't have to find them ourselves). Otherwise please leave the OP to someone else!
Normally I would agree with you but the OP clearly put in a lot of effort into the post, with good graphics and pre-game interviews and etc. The amount of effort he did is a lot greater than the effort it would take you to browse the thread to find the results, which is almost the point of LR threads (you find out what happened, how it happened, etc.). When OP's effort > your effort, in my opinion it's okay to let him fuck up once in a while and not update the results immediately.

Don't quit! Keep at it. If the streamers listened to everything that the community had to blurt out, there wouldn't be any streaming. Same goes for progamers. Just gotta learn to tune things out.

Well its not like movie would do any better against Bisu and they traded away Kwanro so they went #1 Z, #1 T, #2 Z, and #2 P, but again Bisu would kill movie slightly less embarrassingly. I Mean hydra vs Best was as good as CJ was going to get, even when hes slumping i dont think you want to test Best's PvT.

Hyuk is much improved this season, but EvZ is way more than he can handle.
That's the problem with the new maps, no idea how they balance. On Moon Glaive we've seen 11 TvT's 2 ZvZ's and 5 ZvP/ZvT 0 TvP. I guess SKT could have Bisu play terrans nonstop and attempt to snipe him on moon glaive but who knows how PvT plays on that map.

why not attempt to get fantasy vs flash in the regular games, and then try to delay it as long as possible to tire flash out. imagine he has to play a 40 minute tvt against fantasy in the 3rd or 4th set of the night and then the ace against bisu.... and if hyuk beats luxury aswell, he will officially be the new zvz bonjwa.
For the record, when I brought up the stuff about updating OP results and making thorough, thought-out predictions, etc., I was making a general observation, not at all singling out disciple. It just happens to be his thread. I think the interviews are great, and I enjoy reading them. Similarly, when Atrioc makes a LR thread for a Hwaseung game, we all appreciate the latest Hwaseung House comic. A little bit of graphics and formatting also always goes a long way in the aesthetic appeal of paying attention to TL coverage at all instead of just watching the matches by yourself.
So if we have all these great contributions, we shouldn't be seeing so many different LR authors with such skinny prediction sections and such slow result updates. If it were consented that results and predictions were in fact superfluous, then we would just stop putting them in OPs; however, as long as we have results and predictions sections, we may as well respect them and give people what they expect (prompt results and provocative predictions).

Lets not get ahead of ourselves. Being great in a single match-up doesn't make you better than Flash, Stork or even Bisu. No doubt he'll be above Jaedong and Effort since all we've really seen so far are ZvZs and clearly he's the best at this (still need to see him v Calm and Luxury tho).
Flash v Hyuk would probably be so ugly Hyuks parents would disown him.

I'm talking about for the power rank (which i'm pretty cynical towards anyway). If the power rank is who is doing the best now (not who are the best players, since it would never change then), then there is no argument for having them above Hyuk since he's crushed them straight-up.

PR = top performance in the particular month, not over all. And October-wise, Hyuk > both Jaedong and Effort.

It's a combination of the two, usually.
Also Hyuk is still not really in the OSL, not until he beats out his qualifier group.

You know, Fantasy has to be pretty angry. This is the second time that he's been denied his TvT scheduled for the 4th game. I bet he's at the house going, "Oh look. If it isn't the let's not let Fantasy play people, Bisu and Hyuk. Yeah, and you too Boxer! No wait I'm sorry Boxer."
lol. But seriously, I mean clearly it's not true, seeing as all players want their team to win, but it's like, "I practiced hard for those TvTs dammit!"
