MSL Round of 32 Group F July 2, 2010, 17:00 KST, 10:00 CEST, 4:00 EDT, 1:00 PDT Our Contestants: + Show Spoiler +
MVP Win rate: 39.73% Last 10 games: WWLWLLLLWL
Interesting facts: -Qualified for the Ro8 last MSL -Took the 1st game from Flash in the Ro8, during Flash's prime -Has accomplished absolutely nothing since then
Light Win rate: 54.38% Last 10 games: WWWLWWLLLL
Interesting facts: -MBC's 2nd-in-command, next to TL favorite Sea -Tried to put himself into an all-Zerg group, but this backfired into a no-Zerg group. -Hates TvP. A lot.
Snow Win rate: 53.19% Last 10 games: LLWWWWLLWL
Interesting facts: -The new PvT bonjwa -Recently ousted from the OSL by Really -Very shaky in PvP and PvZ
Kal Win rate: 57.41% Last 10 games: LWWLWLWLLL
Interesting facts: -The smugtoss -STX's usual ace -Always plays close games with Flash, but never wins them
Knowing that both Kal & Snow hold hands and advance from this group is a matter of common sense. Of the other 2, one is a Woongjin Terran, while another loses to the likes of PerfectMan and brave.
As for the actual game, Light has a few dropships, tried some vulture drops which didn't do a great deal. Also has a wraith going pew pew at MVP's barracks.

They are so desperate to find something to get excited about...
at this point, we're just waiting for Light to find a good time to engage, and he'll probably win because he has the better ground force in addition to his BCs.

How can a song look like anything?
Well the play style seemed to be like Paramore's. So.. If you can't say something useful, why do you even annoy me :<

Also killed both armories which were strangely placed at the natural. So upgrades will be delayed for light

Lol, kid wins two games and becomes PvT bonjwa. Shows how desperate Protoss-lovers have become I guess. We are hyping mediocre guys like Stats/Snow/Shuttle for gods sake

Except Stats is actually pretty decent. Snow and Shuttle aren't bad but they're definitely worse because they're not all round decent; Snow sucks balls at anything not PvT and Shuttle is just bad at PvT.
hahaha. I don't know why I find CJ players hard to like. Maybe it's their arrogance that they can beat anyone? Lol I don't know. All I know is that Snow is gone. Lol

Stats is decent, but it's unlikely he will ever even make a RO16 in a starleague. You gotte be exceptionally talented to get anywhere as a P these days.

except he already did. too bad he had to run into jaedong.
Well it is CJ. Knowing how bad Skyhigh and Snow are at their other matchups, the coaches probably only get them to play a single matchup and just tell them to prepare snipe builds against a single player (aka Flash and Really).

It's clear that Snow is a good player with potential but considering how loud the SNOW WILL HUMP THIS GUY'S ASSHOLE comments were I'm glad that he didn't make it through with his current skill set. I wasn't expecting him to go 0-2 though, that surprised me. I was also disappointed to see Classic go 0-2 because when he is really on he can do some awesome stuff.
Kal remembered his game against Flash, where he got greedy and skipped the evacuated base with his arbiter to try and hit the other base, only to get EMPed. He almost did the same thing there, but turned back and recalled. Gj

You can get 1/1 for like the cost of a dragoon and a ht, i think in such a macro game its easily worth it just to create the possibility of a transition, if need be.

he wants his arbiters to do more damage
Ah yes, the dreaded transition into pure arbiter. Every T's worst nightmare
it's actually really effective if you mass arbiters... if you stasis enough units, terran can't build more cuz supply block, and constant stasis allows just a few zlots to rape bases
MVP pushing right side into the carrier-production. Loses another mining base though and probably can't afford enough troops to deal with teh carrier/dragoon
As much as I enjoyed this game, I'm not sure if I'd recommend it. NR20 is a bit boring to watch, but then Kal brought out some stellar macromanagement game, with great army movements and engagements/retreats, textbook play.
Individual League pressure getting to Snow? Can't believe he didn't qualify for MSL or OSL :[... I knew he wouldn't after Kal lost to Light, but losing 0-2?! WTFF
Pulling for Protoss lately has really made me see Siege Tanks in a totaly different light. If someone asked me why Siege Tanks were gay, I could easily link them to 2 of the games in this. And... the only reason they weren't gay in the last one, is because Kal got a unit that flies.
Man... I really want to see a Protoss go deep this time, Semis or maybe Finals... I really thought both Toss could get out of this group. Light's a great player though
