Game 1: I didn't get to see it completely, but the end gave me chills down my spine. Very recommended. Game 2: Once again I couldn't watch the whole game, but somehow got back just in time to see the end, and realize its awesomeness. Game 3: No words, I repeat, no words, will ever be enough to describe this game. Game of the night. Game 4: The icing of the cake.
ZerO vs Flash rematch would be a headliner of the day. ZerO vs Stats almost as good. Really vs Flash could be excellent, Light vs Flash ditto, although either one probably gets smashed by a KT Protoss/beats any KT Zerg easily. If Action's on the right map he could give us a good game; Soulkey if he's on ditto. free vs Flash? free vs random KT Zerg? HoeJJa vs a Protoss? There's so much potential in this match.
My predictions: Roo < Crazy-Hydra Stats > Crazy-Hydra Stats > Soulkey Stats < free Action > free Action > Zero

Light and Flash have been trading wins and losses ever since last year's WL final, and according to the record now it's Light's turn to win

Flash going to go out first because of the maps (so he doesn't have to play Aztec or BR). Unfortunately, Flash has bad luck when he's not the final boss, but Chinboss and mafiaboss will be right behind him to clean up the leftovers.

It makes sense. Free, Zero, and Light can all legitimately take games off of him, especially with preparation. At the moment there's only two other teams that can field even two players that can do that (SKT1 and Hite), let alone one of each race.

Light is terrible TvP this season, I really think this is a free win for KT.
The thing is.. if this season is going to keep up with itself then Light must win.
Stats plays mediocre for most of the round and then all kills SKT.
MBC breaks KT's streak and then gets beaten by Ace.
It only follows that Light, know for his abyssmal TvP, beats Stats after his AK.
Mmm.. after reading this post I realize that one thing doesnt follow the other, but what I mean is that this round has been constant in its lack of constancy.
stats loses two arbiters for nothing after they're trapped at 6?? but actually it's stats 2.5 (+1 building) mining to light 2 now so stats is very much still in this
That loss wasn't demeaning at all for light, he played well and had a good chance of winning it, I feel that his TvP improved since he went to woongjin
Amazing storms up at the 1 o clock and clutch stasis at the 6 brings home a comback win for Stats!
I don't know if stats won that game, so much as light beat himself. Gave away his lead after emp on 3 arbitors to muscle his way around the map and get two bases erased, but that isn't to discredit stats from playing near perfectly for the rest of the game. Definitely worth the watch!
Props to Stats. I can only imagine what it would be like to see this situation again and not automatically give in, when you play Flash on a daily basis.

Stats is on a 3-win streak against Zero, rolling the latter all 3 times in macro games. Unlikely, especially not when the map pool is unfavourable against zerg

Maybe you can put it this way: 5th is Aztec and 7th is BR, so WJ predicts KT to send Flash from the beginning, so they got Light practiced for La Mancha to snipe Flash.

He doesn't harass the 4base zerg, didn't do much with his corsairs either.
i think he's playing really really solid. at least he's macroing up and matching sk's base count. he actually has more bases than sk now. and stats is taking his time to gather a sizable force off his bases. he's gonna roll sk over imo

Yep forget what I said
protoss ball imba
hahaha yeee protoss ball is pretty strong especially when reavers are in it. sk should use defilers.. nice name by the way LOL
Okay, Soulkey. For every game you don't cheese, you don't get dinner. You pulled the exact same shit against Bisu on the same map. 9pool into no harass against a 12nexus. What. The. Hell.
One question though. Even though he ended up with a good protoss death ball at the end, it felt like he wasn't reinforced very much after that big surround attack by SK.
I'm thrilled he won, but it felt kind of weird how he just had this one group of 7-8 archons, some reavers, and not much else for a while. He had five bases, you'd think he would've been reinforced a lot more.

yeah i was wondering the same thing too.. he wasn't sending any reinforcements really. off 5 bases tosses usually constantly reinforce.. but oh well. he played really well nonetheless

Come from behind win from Stats. OMG his storms are so accurate...He is slowly copying Flash's style,,, adapting to the situation, recovering from drought, reacting positively to each circumstance.
zero had to all-in with those hydras (late tech), and stats defended it fairly well. losing the natural didn't mean gg for stats...he still had his storms, and he used it :D

Zero hydra busted Stats then double expanded to get up to 4 bases. He then droned up and made a constant hydra army. It got to the point where he even killed Stats natural and had four fairly well running bases himself, but his tech was very late. Stats then came out with some kind of amazing push and stormed Zero into oblivion. You have to watch the match to truly understand how amazingly Stats played.
What happened to all the streams? Craton is playing LoL, hirosue is playing BW, and GTR left >_>
Amazing play by stats tho, i thought he was dead. Zero's transition could have been better after he killed that nex, it was pretty clear stats wouldn't be noving out for a while

Hot damnnn. Last I was reading it looked like he was in trouble against Light and then he wins. Then I come back and it sounds like his natural is busted by ZerO and hes surprisingly holding his defense, only for me to come back to check again and he won.
wow his performance this series and vs skt1 has shown chintoss is an incredible all around player... he really has become a top protoss.. he's well rounded and has incredible sense and control. go chintoss!

We're talking about Disgaea here so Hoejja is obviously midboss.

The word "shin" has 2 meanings. Myth/legend or new. It's titled Sa Bang Shin Toss.

Legendary as in the four symbols are legends in Chinese mythology. It's more like the four new dragons, rather than replacing the old ones.
Stats has been kicking ass, holy smokes. Funny to think that even if someone does manage to take him down, they have to take down Flash afterwards hahahaha.
Stats did not just beat 2 really good teams in 8 straight games. Stats absolutely fucking crushed them. The only close game was a zerg trying to cheese him.

The sun game was pretty close too, in both games he lost his natural but then proceeded to roll them hard

Too bad winners league is over, Stats won't have the chance to AK three times in a row. I've never been a big Stats fan, but I admit he played beautiful games today. And by beautiful, I don't only mean efficient, I mean with style.

Winners' League ain't over yet. The last game of WL closes with KT vs. FOX, which gives another chance for the Chintoss to AK again.
Poor Stars, suffering the same fate as SKT... If you want Stars fans, I can post a translation of their previous interview against KHAN; it's quite funny (BM) and has ZerO in it. :<

From the quote on the bottom their analysis said Stats could have gotten an S rank if his opponents played better. I guess he got downgraded because they considered the Stars players as playing worse than the SKT players.

Well if Flash meets Zero in the ace match STars have a good chance to win this match.
Zero is historically one of the absolute worst ace players in proleague. I'd put Zero's chances of beating Flash at their worst in an ace match.
...You mean like last round?
This was awhile ago but you misunderstood me. I meant Zero is a very weak ace player pertaining to playing in a 7th match to win it all. Zero is awful under pressure.
Stats passed Stork in elo rating and is number 4 now (with new peak elo record of himself). Also, Top-5 are 3 P, 1 T and 1 Z. Good, I hope now P players will stop cry about siege tanks/T imba
interestingly stats seems to be getting more talk about how good he is etc etc compared to bisu, after his 3rd consecutive ak maybe its just me but it seems like it. and i dont know why

Are you joking? Bisu's AKs got insane amounts of attention, every single one of them. Maybe you need to go back to the threads because they were awhile ago -- also, while every single all kill is impressive, allkilling SKT and Stars is much more impressive than allkilling Wemade and MBC.

It's called "cross-racial awesomeness"... Happens when Reach is your mentor, and Flash is your bro. btw we desperately need a Chinterview
It must be a nightmare to practice for a match against KT in Winner's League now.
I remember reading some progamer say that all teams mainly practice vs Terran when playing KT to take down Flash, but now Stats is there like "What's that, you practiced to face Flash? Too bad, I'm gonna AK your team".

It's really not even fair, honestly.
lol, but it is probably very true. The fact that Flash is on the bench and may come up as the final boss impacts heavily coaches decision. And I'm sure it does affect players practice. And then Stats is sent out and rolls the opposite team... GG

I'm not sure if KT will send Stats out first next game.
Where the hell does one find the proleague schedule? I'm not sure who they're up against, but I bet they're preparing to snipe Stats first as we speak.
IMO, send somebody relatively weak like Barracks - THEN if he loses, then by all means, let Stats go for the 3AK.
