I'm rooting for movie, I imagine it will be 3-4 him. 1. There was no third game; 2. I said he has bad vT and vP. Which is true. | ||

1. Make Muta 2. Pray to Jesus that Flash misplaces turret 3. ???? 4. Profit!!!!! For these rookies, this is the true OSL final for them. For a rookie to reach the OSL final is extremely unbelievable. Type-b also reached the semi-final, but nobody recognizes him nowadays because it was just the semi-final and he sucked. A silver medal means a lot to a rookie. There is as much on the stake here as the actual final. Anyhow, why is El Niño so imba? Why is it so in favor of Zerg? Anybody got any insightful analysis here? | ||

There might be a way for Protoss to play it to deny this outcome, but as it stands... Zerg gets two of the three main bases --> four gas from defending two locations, while Protoss has a very hard time getting a third gas. I'm guessing the best way to play El Nino is to play very aggressively off 1-2 bases as Protoss (for example, five gate dragoon) to deny Zerg the second main. | ||

From what I understand, It promotes all racial imba due to difficulty of getting 3rd gas. | ||

every time i see movie play, i get the feeling that he poured out his heart practicing and that he tries SO HARD, harder than any other protoss i've ever seen. so when he prepares, it takes a lot to stop him. i expect 3-0 from movie, nothing less. and 3-1 in the finals. | ||

You can't count Kal out, even though he's not as statistically strong as 4 of the other Dragons, he's at his highest ELO point ranking currently. Also, you can't expect Flash to auto-win in any league. This is Starcraft after all, balance is the game. There's always a chance of an upset. As for this series, this match should probably be the best Set of 5 from both leagues. Even if there's a plethora of anti-Flash fans, they should still get a high entertainment value out of this OSL Semi-finals. On one side of the board, you got the new rising ZvP beast that is Shine. His macro and decision-making when it comes to unit timings and production to expanding. But, on the other side.. you got Movie who shouldn't need an introduction: PvZ at its finest under the obligatory S-class. Please, oh please, Movie and Shine-- makes these the games of your season. Sadly, their runs after this will become much, much harder. But looking on the bright-side.. OSL Silver is nothing to be ashamed of, its more than a lot of players have attained. | ||

Hopefully, it'll give Protosses some ideas and the confidence to have a forceful presence into the top-10. It is so sickening to see that many zergs up on the KeSPA list. The Firebats and High Templars must be on vacation, I guess. + Show Spoiler + Firebats need to learn to aim up into the air, and High Templars need to learn to ride in the shuttle and not walk under the flocks of Mutalisks | ||

The maps are definitely in Shine's favor but Movie is a good cheeser and can counter mass mutas. It's not impossible for Movie to win on El-Nino and HBR. | ||
