Man... my entire anti-team is going to be playing in this match... I hope everyone loses everything! =P
OT: I would really like to see Sea (see what I did there?) win something after being dropped into the Group of Death, such a good player that is overshadowed by TBLS.
I just came from the KT vs OZ thread... and I will try to watch Sea's game, because Yum Bo Sung needs love, after that horrible group of Death... of which 2 are playing in the KT vs OZ.
Sigh. Yum Bo Sung is probably one of the best players ever not to even get into a Starleague Final. He so deserves it.
edit: DAMMIT GARA I just got ninja'd T_T kinda freaky how you said EXACTLY what I did lol
First game: Bogus vs. HyuN on Icarus! Please, STX, give me a good present for my 1 year anniversary and win one at long last. I'd much rather be happy today.
2 scouting SCV-s find their end quickly at the hand of Hyun's merciless zerglings. He attacks the marines! lots of casualties of both sides, hyun withdraws. Bogus a bit behind now.

Tbh his TvZ this season has been disappointing. Lost to Shine twice because he didn't build a bunker. Lost twice to Zero because he couldn't get the turret timing right even after scouting 2 hatch mutas.

True, but it is still one of his best, if not his best MU's.

I think TvP is his best match-up now, although he still has some problems with carriers.

Eh perhaps, it's hard to say, he's had his ups and downs in every MU so who knows.
Saint was pretty good last PvZ. Hope Kal gets a win though. He needs a morale boost so STX has a A+ class Ace again.

Look at STX's last 3 games. Beatdown after beatdown, and the only good player was Bogus. Then he gets demolished in the first game against Hyun. I do admit I was being a bit too extreme, but I honestly did not expect that I'd get to see Calm and Hyvaa win.

I'm not saying you were extreme at all lol, fanboyism is fine I was just confused because you said you were happy about the last three games and the last three games were Calm, hyvaa and also Bogus losing. So I thought 2 games?
a few hydra attacking 10.5 but getting destroyed by kal's army there and the lurker coming also dies before burrowing now saint moves a few units out of his main and loses them to kal, and concedes

Shuttle! vs. Jaehoon! I actually don't know whom to cheer for here. Shuttle would do my FPL good, though. Sorry, Ryo, nothing personal. I like you a lot, Jaehoon.
On May 03 2011 19:41 Zona wrote: Shuttle opting for support bay immediately after robo not worried about dts?
I guess he figures Jaehoon couldn't get DTs already since he got both reavers and expansion relatively quickly?
StructuralIntertia: If 6 teams make playoffs though, that means over half the teams are in the playoffs, which sounds a little silly to me. Also, for whatever it's worth, in 2008 and before only the top 4 teams made playoffs.
Shuttle denies another scouting probe sent out by Jaehoon, Jaehoon taking his 2nd gas, adding a 3rd gate now, finally catching up with Shuttle's gate count
I'm just hoping he'll still be on MBC next season. His contract expires after this season. He wanted to retire last season but was persuaded to stay on for another year to give progaming another try.

hope so as well, mbc needs a veteran presence while the new zergs come through to fill out the lineup.
although the thought of jaehoon going to ace and discussing PvT with firebathero would be somewhat exciting

I don't think he will go to Ace if he retires. He said he was tired of progaming in general, too many disappointments.

Tyson moving his army towards 9, storming some lurkers there
Hero has scourge coming but no ovies, can't get the obs! and now the ovies arrive, late, and die too tyson backs off after storming a bunch of lurkers that narrow ramp too good
2 reavers moved from tyson's attack to defend at 7, which they do!
just a few units left of hero's at 1.5 still dealing damage under swarm but tyson storms them and backs off for now hero with almost no drones left there
lurker dropped behind the mineral line at 7.5 stops mining for some time but tyson should be able to finish this off like 6+ templar hanging out at his nat rally point!
speed shuttle heads to 10, drones fleet, and now the shuttle flees from scourge 1 hit!
4 ovie drop on 6! just racklings but tyson has storms still the cannons fall and the storms don't kill all the lings tyson will lose6 but only 2 lings attack the nex, the rest just chill

GG MBC, nicely deserved victory.
there's still a game left... unless you think STX can't compete in ACE against MBC's depleted team?
Well, yes. Who can defeat Tyson?
heh. I know you're joking, but STX is pretty good against P
Too bad MBC won't send a P if they know what's good for them...
Actually, not joking. STX currently plays very badly, with Kal and Calm giving PL 09-10 Round 5 style performances, Bogus being defeated pretty badly in game 1 and hero just being squashed for the 4th time in a row. Tyson, on the other hand is on fire.
Well, instead, I guess we're seeing Sea obliterate Bogus. Less painful than Kal, I guess.

He looked pretty eager to me.
Usually when people win ace matches they either run out of booth or have a massive smile, I saw neither from Bogus. Maybe he's just a quiet, awesome guy.

First, who?
And second, what would you rather Sea have done after learning his opening build was behind? He tried to be aggressive early on he also tried to sneak in an extra expansion
The only thing you can really say is "micro better than your opponent" but Bogus is a competent player. (And perhaps "you should open 1rax CC, too".)
But Bogus rode his early econ advantage to cover the possible answers by Sea and won.

1.Tyson. Someone needs to step up to replace Light as the second Ace option and that should be Tyson.
2. When I said that Sea's mind has been elsewhere lately, it's not just his game play that I'm refering to. Whether or not he gets over this mental hurdle, there still needs to be another player that MBC can rely on to win Ace matches.

I still think it's because STX just got pummeled for the last 3 games. It must be really depressing for the guys.

Yes, thanks for rubbing salt into the wounds of MBC fans.
If MBC had tons of money to cover the expenses of the team, like say SKT, do you think they would have sold Light? Obviously not.
... MBC pls win next match.. pls.. hmmm.. is smth botherin Sea?... he seems abit elsewhere ... Tyson and Sea can work hand in hand in ACE match... so Sea wun be so tirin to be always e ACE send out.. Fightin!!
So close again, at least a couple times we've gone to ace and lost now, tis a shame, I think we're actually stronger than STX overall these days even without Light
You know what's more depressing than being an MBC fan?
Shuttle losing to Jaehoon. What the hell, man.
Kidding, but MBC seems like they are just barely shy of being a really powerful team - they just need someone to step up their game just a little bit and I think it'll give them what they need to start taking games.
MBC have lost 11 matches 3-4 this season. 7 of these were lost while Light was still on the team. Its not just about Light's transfer, MBC have an Ace match problem. Light is the past, it's time to move on. They need to find another player to field as Ace.
I just feel like Sea needs to step up. MBCGame is looking pretty solid as a team. I mean, even without Sea, they managed to get three games off STX. Not bad...
And if Sea were to play at his best, MBC would have had a much better chance to win. I don't know what's wrong with him. Perhaps the Light tradeoff to Woongjin has put all the burden on him now, constantly feeling pressure.
If MBC had tons of money to cover the expenses of the team, like say SKT, do you think they would have sold Light? Obviously not.
Learn to market your players and make money. How is a broadcast company so bad at making celebrities and profiting off the souls of lost children? Bamboozling.
