Set 5. Bee is a newcomer, and he put up a decent fight against ZerO. It was exciting to watch this match. Bee seems like a promising player, but only time will tell.
- Feelings on achieving an all-kill? ▲ Even though today’s match was not an official match, I’m still very happy getting an all-kill. I’ve never been able to all-kill in Proleague, so I’ve finally gotten a taste today.
- The team’s aces lost to Jaedong. ▲ I really hoped they would win, so it’s a little regretful they couldn’t take him down. But because the opponent was Jaedong I can understand. I felt that as long as I was able to beat him it would be okay.
- Has your ZvZ gotten better? ▲. From today, it looks like it; there’s quite of a bit of improvement compared to before. Even I myself noticed it.
- After Jaedong, Hwaseung sent out a couple of rookies. ▲ If the first player was not Jaedong but a rookie, I would think that Hwaseung was using the chance to give their rookies experience. But sending them out after Jaedong’s defeat, I was a little confused.
- On Grand Line, the opponent chose to transition into mech during the late game. ▲ Sea said that as long as this strategy is carried out perfectly, it is impossible for zerg to win against terran, but I don’t think there are any players who have perfected this strategy yet. However, I agree that if terran is able to carry it out perfectly, it will be very hard for zerg to win. I feel like the late game transition to mech is being used a lot not because it's good but mainly because it’s the current trend so a lot of the terrans are copying it.
- You will be playing CJ in the next match. ▲ We live close by to CJ. Last time we beat them, we saw their car on the way back which made us really happy. This time we’ll definitely be happy as well.
- Do you regret that you weren’t able to attend the finals in GwangAnRi? ▲ Because IU was one of the performers this time, there have been lots of discussion about me on the internet. I’m determined not to speak another word about her, but I will continue to support her in my heart.
Lol I just tuned in and saw probes, nexus, lings and nothing else on free's main and thought: "wait wat jaedong 4/5/6 pooled?" "wait so why he has an expo and ppl on lr thread aren't going apeshit? "jaedong imba" -_-
Just tuned in and read that JD runby yet again. Why dont Protoss players properly defend against JD early Lings? It should be known by now that he goes for runbys.

This. ZvZ at least you have maybe a 40% chance against JD simply because of BOs.

It's not KeSPA sanctioned. It's an post season exhibition match, although I do believe there is a trophy. But in the end, it's just for kicks and giggles.
Even though ZerO failed to kill a single drone there, the damage has probably been done. ZerO's ahead on larva by quite a bit now. Jaedong's going to need to out-micro him, which, of course, he can still very much do.
Zero looking for hidden lings with his mutas instead of sending them to JD's base. Gives JD time to attack with tons of lings and takes out a ton of zero's drones. Zero so far behind
Seems like 9 pool isn't too bad against 12 pool on this map if you're not in cross positions. The shorter rush distance forced a significant delay in JD's 2nd hatch.

Why did JD even need a second hatch though? He already had the econ advantage

How else was he going to catch up on gas? And muta count, he was behind in larva
Seriously this makes no sense. You have Backho, Lomo and Hiya sitting in the wings and you send out ur 3rd rank zerg meaning one of those 3 (probably two of them since the coach loves killer for some reason) won't play.

This is the Master's Cup, playing to develop talent is fine.

Dude nothing wrong with Princess. It will make your opponents underestimate you.

And then you strike! And 'defoul' them.
This is why I use the girly newscaster avatar on SC2.
also OP, you accidentally bolded princess instead of zero
You're a tank now? Wat.

It wasn't a reverse all-kill. Jaedong had already gotten a 3-kill against Kwanro, Free, and Crazy-Hydra. ZerO then came and reverse 3-killed before getting stopped by Killer.

Oh no, that's not what I meant. I just thought it was funny that he said to use English then started using Korean.
What he means to say is yes, please translate some of the comments!

- If you have to evaluate the late mechanic strategy ▲ In my opinion, if the Terran has absolute control over the late mechanic strategy, then the Zerg cannot win. If a Terran has really great command over this strategy, there is no way Zerg can win in an average map.
This is ridiculous. Blizzard needs to patch this shit right now. It takes some of the best lategame ZvT to beat a scrub? Grand Line isn't even that bad compared to Polaris Rhapsody since it at least provides enough room to maneuver around the Terran army and harass the expos, do drops etc. Despite what the closeness of the game might suggest, Bee really didn't play that well. His early game control was decent, but his macro and multitasking was pretty bad in the lategame. That's the worst thing about this new lategame mech nonsense. It's not even the fact that it's imba but the fact that it seemingly requires very little skill to pull off.

i believe it was the seeding of the spl, minus ace and stx is automatically seeded 1st because it's their cup after all (though i think this is rather unfair).

STX is not seeded first, SKT is because they won last year. STX was seeded first in 09 because they won in 08.

Ah I see, didn't know that. Thanks for the clarification.

He gives Oz the SWL Final 08-09 flashbacks, and a coincidence with Skyhigh's claim to fame: they both defeated JD and Hiya in their first and last game respectively, with 2 B-Teamers in between
I have to disagree with match of the night... zero seemed to not be taking him seriously... my only speculation on that is that he built a hatch in an expansion at one point : P but it would be cool if Oz got another decent player, dont get me wrong.. i just dont believe.

To be honest, Set 5 was the only set where something interesting happened (other than Free's storm on zerglings at his natural).

i cant believe stars didnt make the playoffs, they had such a good team :C
no terran?
More like Zero losing basically every ace match he played, no matter what race he faced.
The lack of a good terran was an issue but the real issue is that Zero is streaky and is either simply mediocre with random bouts of brilliance or good but a massive choker who has trouble winning series matches as well as ace matches.
Unless you're saying Stars aren't a good team because they're lacking a good terran, I don't think that's too true since they did excellent without one for the whole year, and really should have made the playoffs instead of CJ if they didn't meltdown like STX did.

the lack of a terran was a huge issue before they eliminated the race rule. another more important issue is that stars don't really have a hugely dominating ace. combine those two and you're relying on someone overperforming, really lucky draws or the other team making blunders in basically every match.
Yeah, you think you could maybe not edit interviews and other spoilers of that nature into the first page of the thread without tags? It hasn't affected me yet but in the past I have assumed that the first page or two was safe to look at without opening spoiler tags and I am sure there are others who think the same way.
Anyway, there were times when Zero seemed tired but they weren't times that really counted I guess. Too bad the games don't really count but good performance overall. I'm sure he's proud of himself.

Thanks for that. First time trying out the OP thing, and learned a lot in past 12 hours.

I think Stars had more points than 4 of the teams that made the playoffs this year. They just lost so many aces :/
