I can't watch. Since I must have upset Karma itself recently, here's what I'm afraid the results will be.
Ssak 2-0 Calm (likely and huge emotional attachment) Zero 2-0 Soulkey (likely, but no attachment) RorO 2-1 Kal (might happen, huge emotional attachment again) Hogil 2-1 Snow (small emotional attachment towards Snow.)
It's only fitting that I go from a meeting I'll hate 8 hours later only to find these results.

I really doubt Kal will lose, his PvZ is pretty rock solid. Debatable on Ssak vs Calm lol
|
Kal lost to Modesty, who's ZvP was rather suspect prior to that...though that was a teamkill match.
|
Ssak is the terran hope, it would be pretty funny if he made the semis.

ssak royal roading would be pretty awesome, but I don't see it. I think Calm will take him.
I also see Soulkey getting a 2-1, but I think Kal and Snow will wrap their series up and move on.
|
Hoping for Ssak, Soulkey, Kal and Snow.

Timing is sooo sweet. Proleague ends just in time for MSL wowowowowoow

Thanks to all the streamers, and especially to my favourite - Craton! <3 guys

Time to watch Fanta vs Calm while waiting for this to start.

Just watch game 4. thats all you need to take from the series
|
i dont know if i should cheer for a random guy named ssak or for there to be a terran in the next round...
of all terrans...ssak?
also it would suck for calm to lose 2 leagues in a row...
i guess go calm.....+ Show Spoiler +not that his performance in the OSL made me like him at all...
|
I predict 4 pool incoming for Calm
|
I expect some silly sort of all-in from Calm.
|
I saw the game start menu and thought, "finally, it's starting" but it turned out to be from a vod of Fanta Calm I was watching.
|
Ssak the "champion killer"
|
Nothing too out of the ordinary. Both expand but Calm does has some strange 3rd hatchery positioning in his main.
|
Greed vs greed. The best type of play. ^__^

I'm not so sure. I don't think so. I might have missed when Calm laid down the pool but I think it's not 3 hatch before pool. Could be wrong though because I keep on skipping back and forth.
Spire going up for Calm and Calm pressuring Ssak's wall with hydras. Ssak's vulture up on the ramp is harassing Calm's drones using the cliff

Very Flash-esque build from Ssak. I like it.

4 idle scvs near mineral line for Ssak
Calm attacking Ssak's main with mutas. Ssak ignoring and continuing to push

Calm sees sSak's base is undefended. sSak does not give a **** and continues attack.
|
lol Ssak not sure what to do with his army, finally decides to call it back to deal with the mutas.
|
ssak really has no idea what he is doing...lol
getting completely owned by the mutas while killing an emty 3rd...
|
Ssak why so indecisive?
Calm's mutas might actually work. They're killing the goliaths.

wow, those mutas are owning ssak

so many dead scvs and goliaths, jesus.

Why don't zerg build the 3rd hatch in a more obscure location of the base? Reinforcements arrive a bit slower, but there is a potential of forcing early bunkers/ turrets... any B level or above zergs want to explain?

Going for a sunken bust? Lots of medics.

why the hell arent you attacking ssak -____-

ssak doesn't want to attack until the lurkers come out

Ssak backs off the potential sunken bust and goes to 11 to try to kill Calm's expansion only to be blocked by a lurker egg.

Its not the third hatch the build away, good terrans can infer based off lair/gas timings. Also, the scv will see the whole base anyways, unless you mean in another base, and that's not done for other reasons.

2 Ports and lifted factory! Lovely! ^__^ This could be an awesome game.

Optical flare researched for Ssak, he uses it on one of the burrowed lurkers.

First vessel dies to scourge.

Calm snipes the first vessel!

He almost saved that vessel. I see a hive done and expecting to see defilers out very very soon.
|
MnM still preventing Calm from getting a 4th gas though.
|
2-2 upgrades on sak vs 1 armor only. Early ebay showing its effects.

wow ssak really going hardcore SK Terran here
|
Ssak going for pure SK Terran it seems. He even has a 3rd Starport going up to further increase vessel production.
|
|
if calm wanted to protect his defilers, couldn't he burrow a lurker on top of a burrowed defiler?
|
At this point I am pretty sure that Calm is saving for Ultras. Meanwhile Ssak is freely expanding to 8
|
He should totally take the other main and switch to mass tanks and shit alá Flash now.

Actually people often build the third hatch near the ramp, which is away form the main mineral line most of the times anyways, and plant there the tech if the have killed the SCV to force an extra scan.
Oh, you meant why dont they fake 2 hatch ...

Terran's expansion count is rising to an unacceptable level for zerg. Calm has to put on some pressure soon..

Things not going so well for calm, 4 bases vs 5 in favor or terran. 3 port vessals with tons of vessals. Ssak has total map control and powerful upgrades on his Mnm. Going to take some good play by Calm to turn this around.

Did Calm forget to research adrenal? It looks like it.

What? I am seeing 4 terran bases and 5 Z
nvm, didnt see the mineral only and 12 had no drones
|
Now Calm shut down some expansions!
|
|
Greater spire up for Calm
|
finally, all those dirty vessels have gone down.
|
Ssak just lost all his vessels
|
ssak is lacking the multitask ability to continue to mine from all his bases even if there is nothing threatening them
3 bases with no scvs and no zerg units =/

calm has this game in the bag...ssak is not saturating his own bases while calm takes the rest of the bases. calms army is way bigger and probably has a million guardians that the observer isnt showing us.
|
Ssak falling apart
|
Those tanks would have helped alot in that battle
|
lol what a boring game. Ssak plz gg.
|
Here comes the Guardians.

Holy shit that's a lot of guardians morphing.
Tanks @ 7 are going to be in deep trouble if Ssak doesn't spot it

Normally terran's transition into mech/tank heavy build and take half the map. Since tanks are good vs ultras and mnm not so good. Except ssak didn't utilize them to gain map control and allowed calm to get enough resources to take out the tanks with guards.

I don't ... If he beated Fantasy he had a pretty high chance of winning the OSL . Beating Ssak however means nothing , because he now has to face the best ZvZers and his ZvZ hasn't been loking especially good lately .
Calm has good early and middle game , but his management lategame sucks in ZvT . He should start coordinating his attacks more and not just a moving while having the larger army ...

That game seriously looked like Flash vs Calm on FIghting spirit.

The thing about Calm is though that you never know. He can suddenly play godlike and knock out Jaedong. Or play like a tool and lose to a protoss :p

Soulkey lulz Says he can't accept this loss and that luck played a big part
They were going to make a bet but Soulkey declined =] 삭발내기 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Zero wanted the loser to shave his hair off lollllllllllllllllllllll
Soulkey hopes that Zero makes his way up..and loses LOL 저를 이겼으니까 더 높은곳까지 올라가서 떨어졌음 좋겠어요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
LOL Zero dissing Soulkey as well Says he wants to play a real Zerg in MSL Says he sucks at ZvZ because he practiced with Soulkey
The two are insanely cute together<3

I hope snow plays mass DT vs hogil!

soulkey hijacks the interview and they are both smiling and looking at each other its pretty funny lol even though i have no idea what they are saying ^^

Yea, really. If both protoss lose today, we will have 7 zergs and 1 protoss in Ro8.

Aw, missed the previous games. Happy to see Calm advance, though. I guess I'll forgive him for yesterday.
Now it's Kal's time to advance .

Roro gets an extremely quick 3rd gas seeing Kal's opening, while Kal begins to maynard his probes to his nat.

roro throws down 3 more hatcheries...sair running around looking for ols while spire is incomplete
edit: 2 sairs kill an overlord, kal moves out with zealots and forces 2 sunkens.
kal makes cannnons in his main to defend against muta. zealots attacking natural and kills some drones
edit: ALL THE DRONES and runs into the main with remaining 3 zealots killing 2 more drones and 2 hydras
meanwhile sairs dominate his 3rd
dts coming
kals gonna win for sure
|
|
|
Kal's speedlots kill all the drones in Roro's nat and head directly into his main!
|
wow kal killing all the drones in the nat, now running into the main with the last 3.
3 more drones dead, as well as 2 hydras.
sairs killing overlrods meanwhile, 1 dies to scourge.
dts heading to 10.5
this is rape.
|
Much stuff killed at Roro's main and nat while Corsairs continue to massacre overlords! And DTs are heading to Roro's 3rd gas!
|
RApe. The gateway core before forge was used by stork before I think ? Happy for kal, no 7 zergs^^
|
Kal should be able to completely steamroll Roro now.
|
spawning scourge kill some sairs but dts kill both sunks and is now taking down the hatchery. all overlords dead and roros reinforcements are useless
hydras dying to dts.... even with overlord non of the dts die
both in red
kal is doing so well taking down that hatchery! insane build
|
kal must have borrowed those dts from reach.
|
kal sends 6 zealots to the 3rd to kill the second hatchery and evolution chamber...roro seems completely dominated...
down to 2 base vs 2 base
kal throws down 5 cannons becfause he realizes the only way to lose is a bust
edit: 4 cannons
edit 2: makes high templars and still massing sair and zealots
roro trying to take 3rd againt but kal moves out to apply some pressure. kal also has obs... dont see how kal can lose...

When has this recent ZvP trend started to produce no units at all and then just die to the first 5 Zealots?
Imo that strategy has a big flaw. You die to the first 5 Zealots!
|
This is not even close... GG is expected soon. Is Roro the Sea of Zerg? Forever stays in the lower stages of individual leagues.
|
Protoss players are doing so well against Zergs lately.
|
Roro continues to be completely hapless in individual leagues, lol
|
noone else noticed how kal skipped BOTH cannons for a UBER fast timing?
|
Roro amassing an airforce, will he be able to achieve something?
|
kal takes 3rd base. roro trying to attack with mutas and scourge while kal attacks with zealots. kal loses all cannons and scourge! but kal is attacking into the main
dragoon scourge making mutas retreat while kal is taking down the 3rd!
edit: cal remakes cannons and roro is forced to take the mineral base closer to his natural. kal applies pressure with goons zealots obs and high templar..
GG
|
Glhf playing 2 base Zerg vs 3 base Toss.
|
damn look at this push.
kal is such a boss.
gg
|
I liked that build from Kal
|
Roro kills all the sairs but gets his Mutas trapped in Kal's main in the process... And his 3rd gas gets raped again by a DT
|
Absolute rape. One Zerg less, woohoo!

super risky build resulting in complete dominance...simple

Kal raped greed with risk straight up. I don't quite understand an underwhelming PvZ record on Benzene though, like 9-16? Zergs are supposed to have a hard time on this map due to the normal 3rd gas position that is very hard to build a simcity to protect.

risky implies a risk (hey what do you know). scouting before eliminates that risk.

Touche... Although it seemed pretty safe when I saw Stork used it, and then proceeded to get like gazillion ovies with his first corsairs and won the game right there. So it didn't seem risky here.
When you have super-long rush distances, a lot of safe builds can look risky.

I think great stands a better chance vs kal than he should. kal is a lot weaker in a Bo5 than he should be and for some reason I feel great would be do better in a Bo5 than a Bo1 or Bo3. It will definitely be the most interesting of the Ro8 matchups (zero vs stork very close 2nd).

Lets make a bold prediction:
HoGil makes nothing but Drones for 10 minutes, Snow makes Zealots and attacks Hogils third, Hogil panics and produces all Zerglings, loses 15 Drones and 40 Zerglings trying to beat these 6 Zealots, then dies.

Very good chance of getting an all zerg Ro4 oooohhh gooodddd.

Aside from a questionable way to take the 3rd and a like 2 missed storms in the game, I haven't noted much mistakes by Snow. Great sair babysitting, good patience, good timing, good macro during fights.
|
Snow ignored the 2 guys standing in the back and gave the shirts to the two girls in the front ...
those guys were like "fuck this shit im leaving" lol

Im glad jaedong doesnt have to zvz his way to the finals...this should make it so that theres a higher chance of jaedong winning
although jaedong getting revenge over hogil isnt toooo bad

For everything else, there's 14 CC.

Ssak 2-0 Calm (likely and huge emotional attachment) Zero 2-0 Soulkey (likely, but no attachment) RorO 2-1 Kal (might happen, huge emotional attachment again) Hogil 2-1 Snow (small emotional attachment towards Snow.)
It's only fitting that I go from a meeting I'll hate 8 hours later only to find these results. Wow you only got 1/4 (half)correct.

Snow interview
Says happy but sad that it was a team kill Says he loses a lot of vZ in practice Says he likes 난전 matches.. uh not sure what it is in English Stutters when asked to predict the results vJD =] but says 3:2 and that he's not going to think about losing

^ I don't know Koreans at all but I'll take a wild guess and say that Snow probably means he likes matches with huge/messy battles and lots of dead stuff

Did they say when Ro8 started?

Great sair babysitting, good patience, good timing, good macro during fights. Pretty solid play, but in the replay after the game, it showed him banking like 1800/1000 towards the end of the game, at the attack near the bridge. That's pretty bad.

Apparently the 20th, although I'm not completely sure.

Ssak is good for his rookie season and he is a legit 2nd Terran on SKT T1. He can pull off huge upsets like one he did against Flash.
|
Oh ssak you disappoint me a little but it's ok since you are rookie. Good luck in SWL
|
Fun fact, every player who contributed to knocking out Flash (Hyuk SSak Kal and Classic), lost in the next round of that league.
|
no terrans anymore...but the 3 zvp look fine (especially stork vs. zero). and even the zvz might be worth a watch - calm and hydra are good at zvz. (calm always has been good, hydra's on a streak)
predictions: jaedong > snow (3-1, as long as jd builds units) calm > hydra (3-2, close one) stork > zero (3-1) kal < great (we need an upset!)
|
Has there ever not been a terran in the MSL/OSL ro8?

Holy F-ing groups! No Terran!
Jaedong - Snow
Calm - Hydra
Stork - ZerO
Kal - great
The good news is Stork is 4 - 1 vs. Zero. The bad news is their last game was in 2009. Very exciting Ro8 games - even more so because it's Bo5 format!
|
no terran in the RO8? O_o
Has this ever happened before in any star league?
|
This MSL will most likely go to Protoss, either Stork or Kal cuz Zergs really only have Jaedong who isn't in his best shape but still can make finals.
|
I don't think anyone just has the ability to wrestle a Bo5 from Jaedong in a Flashless MSL.
|
So.. if Jaedong, Kal, Stork win, we will have Jaedong vs Stork or Jaedong vs Kal or Stork vs Kal ? Does anyone know ?

Well Jaedong was only beaten by Flash in the BO5 recently but I find his current game a bit shacky.
|
I'm kind of bummed that Zero and Stork have to play each other now. If Zero wins, he'll likely have to play a ZvZ final which is not as fun and he'll probably lose it lol. Either way, I really hope the winner of that game takes the MSL.

ZerO vs Stork, we are bound to see some lategame Reaver/Archon vs Defiler plays. Their style is so alike!
|
Stork definitely has a chance to beat JD in a BO5 as long as he builds 2 cannons.
|
So where did all the guys whining about Terran imba go?
|
ah, no terran makes me happy
lots of PvZ and likely PvP!
gogo snow

Looks like another JD MSL!

I know what you mean. It's not like terrans made up of 3/4 of any recent MSL. And I'm pretty sure there haven't been any terrans participating in any of 2010's SL finals.
Protoss domination is just sickening. Did you know Bisu and Stork both won SLs 2 years ago?

Snow has played Jaedong once before and it was a total domination from Jaedong. Snow teched and moved out with 6zealots, 1 dragoon and two HTs - Jaedong had 16 hydras running toward his natural. A battle happened in the middle, but Snow never had a chance. When Jaedong started ripping his natural apart he gg'd. Hopefully Snow can perform better in the Bo3, but it's looking grim.
VOD + Show Spoiler +

Jaedong vs Snow is going to be a worse rape than Jaedong vs Stats was last fall. And I say that as a fan of Snow, not Jaedong.
|
Yeah, as long as Jaedong uses safe builds (and makes units...), it will most likely be a 3-0 just like his last 2 Bo5's against protoss in the MSL. After all he hasn't lost to a non-dragon in 18 or so months and 50 or so games.

There are no Terrans in the Ro8, this is ridiculous. XD

Zero too greedy these days (and in poor form), Stork will take it. Snow will take one game off Jaedong, then get 5 pooled, 2 hatch muta'ed, and 3 hatch hydra'ed. Great miiight beat Kal, I'm just hoping Kal wins. Calm vs Hydra is like the battle for second best zerg in the game. Please win, Calm.

Aren't Neo_G_Bonjwa and Zero better contenders than both of them?

If I replace the word terran in your post with the word Flash and it starts to make sense

Technically, in minds of woe-is-terran fans, Flash and Fantasy don't count as terrans. So he is correct in saying that terrans have not done anything for ages.

Terran race is suffering. A certain terran isnť. That's not mutually exclusive.
If the whole world was dying in poverty but one man could have everything he wanted, wouldn't you say that the human race is suffering?

Well, 8 out of the top 15 PL players are Terran, 4 of the top 15 ELO, TvZ is 52.5% and PvT is 50.5% for PL also. There where 3 Terrans in the Ro8 of OSL and now 1 in the final. The MSL is the only place you can really say Terran is suffering, and it has pretty shitty maps for Terran, but last season when the maps where good for them, 5 out of 8 in Ro8 and 3 out of 4 in Ro4 where Terran.
Terran isn't doing the best right now but come on.
EDIT: Noticed that your original post said individual leagues. so my first part is irrelevant I guess, but I still stand by my point.

Also to note, 4 of the top 15 is disproportionately against terrans.

I don't get this, how come the first games of the series are effectively written-off? Their results are displayed, and they have no review. Aren't they important too?
Ok, in terms of writing Battle Reports the first game is give, so it does have value in that sense, but still, we're probably missing out on some great stuff if we're not told to watch any of the 1st BO3 games

Those games were played at an earlier date. Going into these games, 1 game of each series was already decided and that was to provide the information to the thread so people wouldn't go "But he only won one game, why is the series over?"
They have their own threads on the forum from when they were broadcasted.

So when there were 3 out of 4 terrans in the last MSL round of 4, Flash was the only one who wasn't suffering? Come on man, the top players out of every race always do disproportionately better than the other players. You can't just discount their results when it suits you.
Also, In terms of results, protoss is actually the race that has suffered the most for the last few years- no titles in 2010 or 2009 in the individual leagues. Spare a thought for them.

Snow really knows his PvZ timings, that was an awesome game to watch.

I had a dream a few months ago that Snow used a carrier/corsair build to beat Jaedong. Didn't that actually happen though? Like with Bisu or Stork in 2008?

6 Dragons doesnt equal 1 God. Even if you took out Bork you still had Kal, Jangbi, Free, Best who were making finals/semifinals constantly. Aside from the last MSL, Flash has been the only Terran to even reach a semifinal, that's not good for the Terran race.

If we look at the big picture (the entire history of BW), Terrans have dominated for almost a decade while Zerg less, and Protoss a lot less
So they finally have a season recently that they don't do so hot. Is it that much of a problem? Terran race is not even close to suffering if you look at how dominant they were overall
