I don't agree, Horang2 had goons rallied from 3 gateways, even if Horang2's micro wasn't so much more superior than Grape's in the first engagement, his rallied units would have likely put him on top

Perhaps, but Grape's reaver would be out by then and could put some serious pressure on Horang. After that Horang has a small window to secure his natural, otherwise it's gg

well, I meant the 6 goons already on the way, which should be more than enough to overpower Grape before he even had his reaver.

No, it's Best-of-3, but the first games of the Bo3 series are played on one day, and the other games (sets 2 and if necessary, 3) on some other day. Your LiquiBet picks were also for the winner of the entire Bo3, not these single games played today. The same system will be used in later rounds too, with Bo5s.

It's arguable how much sense this system makes (I'm not too big a fan personally), but having the series split up usually provides more varied matchups for the evening, while it also lets the players spend more time preparing and practicing strategies for the games.

I counted 49 SCV kills by Flash's wraiths.

Flash's build was pretty crazy.

Apart from a single scouting vulture, his factories *only* built tanks until the 21 minute mark, when the first round of goliaths appears. He only had +1 attack upgraded for his ground units at that point (+2 just finishing), while Really was +2 (+3 finishing).

I know it hasn't even been even a day since the games, but some of the later comments here are very specific on the game and suggest that the person may have rewatched a VOD of the games. Is a VOD out yet?

Torrent already in the tracker and youtubes linked through TLPD.

Now I'm very sad that Great isn't in this MSL. All because of a single pun.

Well to some it up in my opinion. Really had a disappointing TvT; With the map control he had i really expected better, the early eco hit was worse than it actually looked . I see there was an argument about it for some reason, but Really was never ahead the entire game, or even coming out top on any engagement. But what was interesting was Flash was willing to give up territory. I mean in a closer game vs a superior opponent that could have turned out a lot worse, but he rode the eco advantage to victory before it could have any effect.

Biomech TvZ Leta must have been practicing hard in, he looks excellent at it. Having that easier early game thanks to bio then switching really works well with his style. Although he did look in danger at one point he was never really out of control.

Horang2's PvP continues to look great.. perfect attack timing and micro somehow coming out with nearly all his dragoons with i think only 1 extra in the first place (i think timing attack hit before goon range was done for Grape?). Hero played a completely disappointing ZvZ, nothing much to be said there except that maybe ZerO is actually improving in it micro and decision making wise. I know he didn't do much scourge dodging but it wasn't needed, better to push forward and do damage on HerO's mutas. He had more than 1 group of muta most of the time anyway which makes scourg e dodging a bit more difficult.
