EPTAnd seriously why didn't they just make a season of Protoss favored maps ? They just rotate from Zerg maps to Terran maps then back to Zerg maps for each new season, doesn't make sense at all.

Being a protoss fan is overall mostly sad. I am still hoping for some light but it looks kinda bad atm. all zerg semi would be horrible and and terran at least have a player in the OSL final....again. if he play a zerg then it will be all dark for protoss. | ||

Kal on the other hand had HTs being sniped all game long, and lost a ton of corsairs over the duration of the match, the most troubling of which was when he basically passive-moved his entire corsair force the entire length of the map without looking and ate about 8 scourges. | ||

Stork lost his first reaver, saved the shuttle then a few minutes later dt dropped and then lost the shuttle again and i suspect the shuttle was filled with a new reaver. | ||

I dont think that really relates to my point about Great's not so great battle micro. His Zergling raids/harass were really good but that was pretty much it for me imo. His battle micro on a whole was never really topnotch, and if Kal did the Splash Toss push or the more standard HT/Goon timing push, I'd bet that Great would roll over and die | ||

Will he be prepared next week if he has his finals two days after ? I'm not sure, maybe he will have some leftover builds from his Bo5 against Modesty, and enough confidence in his PvT so that he prepares less. But with Zero playing well, and coming with nice builds, it's going to be tough. Plus the maps are not exactly good. | ||

Stork just has to take tomorrows semi. If protoss do not have a final contender in one of the two leuages, it will be disapointing. Watching tvz all the time is not all that fun for a protoss fan. | ||

That idea backfired.  ZvZ+ZvZ incoming. Well, not entirely the mapmakers fault. Who knew Forgg would retire like that and Light got knocked out by Stork who was placed in his group by Flash. | ||

This might be the game of reference for a new strategy used by zergs in the future. Also the way Zero accommodated (or predicted) to Stork build was nice. Stork looked like he never had a chance. | ||

Stork is human, I won't pretend otherwise :p In fact, I just don't think he is the kind of guy to take dual gold. I like him for many other reasons. But hey, I always hope he will prove me wrong. | ||

However I agree with you, this game was pretty much decided after he threw up all those cannons and lost that first reaver/shuttle. But Zero did play really well though. | ||

This season is full of P maps. Literally all maps in the map pool for MSL are statistically favoured to Zerg in both match-ups (Dante's Peak 0-6 TvZ, fuck yeah!). Map imba excuses are lame though, Stork did not lose that game vs Zero due to the map. I generally agree with Stylish's statement. | ||
