I'm conflicted in this group. Horang2 and Kal are two of my favourite Toss players, but Ssak plays for my beloved SKT....I think Kal will do enough to make it out with Horang2.
oh goddamit didnt pay attention in LB and thought the Mong there was the actual Mong not Ssak...oh well horang will probably win anyway but now i feel bad betting against an SKt guy *sadface*
go redeem yourself a bit Ssak, go back to the pwn-Flash days!
Horang2 on 4 gates, and obs is warping in robo is up Bunker being setup, seige is complete Marines, vultures and tanks are at the choke of the nat Shuttle is out 4 more gateways thrown down, 8 total Ebay is up, turrets are getting planted down Gas goes down at the nat Shuttle is moving for some bombing A tank goes down, and the shuttle does aswell Horang2 is pressing out with his goons, takes out a tank or two Probes are going down GG,
Kal with a pylon at Hero's nat to block the expo Setting up his forge, first cannon planted Cancels the cannon at the nat First lings are out 2nd expo is taking at 11 nat for Hero Kal has his nat warping in now
Core is up, Hero's nat is morphing in, Lair aswell Zealot heading out for Kal Stargate placed down Kal snags a drone kill with his zealot, then it dies Citadel is warping in
First sair is out 4th hatch at nat Spire is complete Scourge chase the first Sair away from the OL it was hammering away at Core is spinning, archives are up 5th hatch at the 11 nat position, aswell as a hydra den I believe Hero taking his 4th base at 11 main DT is out moving towards the nat, 2 DT's
Hero's hydra surge forwards towards 5 and pull back towards the lurker - Kal starting to add goons, now warping in his 8th gate, first observer out and Kal attacks forwards!
Hydras are pressing into the mineral only Sairs netting tons of OL kills above the nat Lurkers are morphing in Obs is out though Hydras are pushing the goon force, The mineral only is being given to the hydras

Well now he has the entire break to figure out what's wrong with himself and hopefully come back stronger

That's right. He'll be out of action until the STX Master's Cup I guess....
Mutaling engaging the MnM Lurkers are out Hero is morphing hive, and has only 1 sunken in place Lurker burrows +1 attack complete Sunkens morph in Hero's 3rd at 1 oclock has lurkers on the ramp
The expo is up and running First fact is up, 2nd on the way Greater Spire and Defiler mound morphing in Scan on the Lurkers Optical Flare holy The expo is taking fire, the nydus goes down, as does the hatch Lurkers burrow All mutaling dies and there are only 4 lurkers
Nydus is morphed in on the little creep thats left Lurkerling finishes off that MnM force, medics running for dear life Vultures being incorporated into the army now Optical flare on a couple lurkers at the nat, defiler is out, consume finishes Rax lift, 4 facts total CC in main
MnM force heading to 1 oclock again Lings are engaging the medics, and pull out 4 blind lurkers are at the choke Defiler is in the mix aswell Ssak has 5 oclock main Vultures laying mines around the 1 nat choke 2 evos with a 3rd on the way
lings with swarm attack towards Ssak's mnm, who deftly take a step back and easily defend, now Ssak really laying a dense cloud of mines outside hero's 4th
Drop tech is researched! So is speed 9 oclock is taken by Ssak, and he has a valkrye out 1 nat is taken by Hero Dropship manages to sneak by the scourge 4 vultures dropped into 1 oclock Drop on 9 oclock, valkyre goes down No swarm though Lurkers tear through the MnM though Vultures taking out alot of drones at 1oclock
Optical flare, spawn broodlings... are we going into a new era of BW play, an era where the multitasking and skill has gone so far that these kind of things become perfectly viable?
KEENS ARE MOVING OUT The 5 tanks at 9 oclock Broodling on all 5 tanks Hero's Lurkers move in Valk dies off after trying to get those keens Lots of tanks at 1 oclock shelling the nat though Keens moving out again
All Vessels go down to Scourge I think all the Keens are out of energy though Last few tanks get wiped out Goliaths are in the mix now Late game Marines, would be perfect
Huge drop on the attacking force at 3 Huge MINE They don't have defilers in Star 2 do they? Hero remaking hatch at 3 Mass goliaths I think that Vessel got an EMP off on the queens
Yup, EMPed all keens Tanks are pushing 3 oclock again Keens broodling a few tanks Vessels going down left and right o.o Hydraling just streaming through the bridges
Does Hero have like 100 APM? It seems like he can't control more than one control group at a time. He's missed tons of opportunities to overwhelm Ssak's forces after rounds of broodlings.
Ssak is getting pushed back by Swarm and HydraLurk Hydraling is just streaming towards them No Swarm! All those forces just die off to the tanks 21 kill tank!
Keens moving out again Hero, what was the point of that Greater Spire?! Tons of tanks getting broodlinged Irradiate on several queens 3 oclock is setup again, and gets denied from mining, again
Playgu on the tanks Keens broodling the metal ball, not enough for all tanks though Tanks aren't even seiging up, just break through the sunkens Lots of lings being pressed through, but the metal is still rolling through Those Keens go down 12 oclock is under alot of fire GG from Hero I can't believe I'm saying this, but yay Ssak
hero put up such a good fight throughout the entire game. he kept his unit production up constantly. too bad he wasn't able to hinder ssak's economy and had enough only to hold off ssak's attacks :/

Indeed, but games like this you just gotta ignore the sloppiness. Then it's super entertaining.
Hard to do that though =/
For what it's worth, I also hate the school of thought that a game's entertainment value correlates with the total number of units killed, but whatever. I just don't vote in recommended polls on games like that because I know 90% of the site disagrees.

Yeah, the more casual viewer just likes to see stuff getting blown up regardless of how bad one player(or both players) was actually controlling his units. I rarely vote in the polls, except when it was super lame or really, really good.

It's not hard to accept when you know how hard it is to manage so many units and buildings lategame
Doesn't matter when you are somewhat of a perfectionist =/
If you couldn't enjoy that game you're pretty much not gonna enjoy anything that doesn't have Flash and JD-level players in it.

what's with your guys LBs? if i'd known it was ssak not Mong i would've had this group 4/4 too^^ (provided Horang pwns face as is expected now)
how come nobody has faith in SKTs B-Line, obviously the other guys can't even handle them!
I thought that Horang2 should advance, and the usual mediocre zerg no matter what.
Looks like Ssak is replacing Canata as the new Survivor King !
heh yeah hidnsight is 20/20, i actually have the same bet for basically the same reasons!
but now knowing all the maps (i never pay attention to them in LB and it doesn't state the 2nd/3rd game) T has a pretty good chance and then Horang should be good enough to make it out of the group sure Horang vs Ssak could've gun either way if not for that early kill but meh, it's not like we gamble for money hehe^^
Obs first for Kal aswell 4 goons outside Horang2's nat choke Kal pulls out, and expands Horang2 is pulling his forces back, or not And expands himself Robotics support for Kal, aswell as Horang2, Kal's is faster
Kal getting in trouble because of being too aggressive...
again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and ....
Citadel for Horang2 Both players' expos are up and running 3rd and 4th gates from Kal Archives is warping in, Kal's obs spots it Reaver out for both players, and Kal's obs gets sniped

Was ok but neither "super entertaining" nor "really sick" And I'm fine with that. Longer games also leave more room for mistakes. So not-so-long games are more enjoyable most of the times. Always depends on the players as well. Other than that...the observer takes part in this too. When he doesn't show mistakes like leaving units afk etc, then you won't really notice it which therefore gives you at least an illusion of a good game ^_^
Shuttle is out 3 more gates added, 6 total Horang2 Kal adding gates aswell, 7 I think he has DT is spotted, and picked off 2 reaver for Kal 8 gates total Horang2's shuttle reaver goes down Kal's forces are all blue goo Horang2 doesn't have much either, but has another Reaver
Kal's goons are moving out again Zealot speed completes for Horang2 He adds his first forge, Kal's has been up for awhile Kal on 8 gates, and expanding to 6 15? kill reaver!
Horang2 expanding to 3 oclock +1 attack is complete for Kal Storm on the Reavers! Both reavers pop to storm Archons are tanking, lots of zealots fresh from Aiur, force Kal back
Storm on Horang2's 3rd Tons of probes die Single DT snipes the 2 HT, heads down to 6 oclock Cannon is in position though Horang2's forces is taking out the expo Kal storms Horang2's nat aswell! The Nexus goes down at 6!
Kal going to expand to 9 oclock now? Horang2 is pushing Kal 2 reavers get stormed! And go down Kal's army is nonexistent Tries for another storm, but Horang2 pulls The nat is breached GG from Kal
ok we're actually five minutes into the game, obviously that 47th view of that one kpop video was worth it, doesn't look like anything crazy out of the ordinary
Do you also have this sometimes? That you randomly browse the internet and then you notice that your brain feels like it is melting, that blood pours out of your ear and that you feel overall anguished and sick? And then you notice that you accidently left the stream on and it switched to K-Pop without you noticing for too long and now the damage to your brain has been done?
Hero has his 3rd up at 3 oclock, and 4th hatch at his nat choke Too much bubble pop TT Hydra den is complete OL speed is complete Scouts the Robotics support bay Core is warping in

hey 2x HyunAh is like...one HyunAh for each eye! how can that not be worth it also if you have two Hyuna's at once on the screen there's almost enough clothing for one decent person....almost <3
i wish they would show food and Ress counters all the time, really no reason not to
Evo is complete for Hero Archives being added Shuttle is out Drones burrow Sairs picking away the OL's, Horang2 loses a sair or two I think Slowlots moving towards the 4th of Hero thats just up at 1 oclock The drones burrow, but the hatchery is getting taken down Two scarabs at the nat, take out some drones and hydras

I passed this phase few years ago. Now, If I dont hear k-pop at bw streams and events, I feel nervous.
Lurkers are out on the field Drop is complete Hydra drop Zealots see it Another shuttle is moving to the nat Storm drop! Better have storm for those hydras Hydras are all over the main 2 Reavers are in the main too <3
2 lurkers are still burrowed, just need a storm All but 3 of the OL's pop Tons of probe iklls for the lurkers 7 and 9? Both players trading workers it seems as another storm drop went on Horang2's 3rd is getting poked away at by Hydras
Hero has 1 oclock again Mainly goon army from Horang2 Loses all his sairs! Storm! All Hydras are dead, except for the ones killing Horang2's 3rd Reavers are taking out 1 oclock
Both reavers go down! Storm blanketing the Hydras No Lurkers left, and the 3rd is breached, a fresh batch of lings goes down quickly GG from Hero HORANG2 <3
horang2 too good. Love watching his pvz, always a treat to watch. Usually it's Ps that get overrun by a mass of units, but in his pvzs its the opposite lol.

Thanks for the thread Hyde and the stream Nanashin...more HyunAh for the people!
i'm really good at getting the last post of the page today, gosu
what is this, no SKT in OSL tomorrow?! preposterous

yeah don't know what was wrong with people there

kinda a side topic but if i may ask, do you need a proxy to watch this on Potplayer? i get booted off the SC stream with a weird ip message others work...woe is me
Lol I picked the losers for the first two sets, but picked the right people to advance. I wonder what Kal's state of mind is like now :u. Maybe we'll find out if DES does an interview or twitter thing with him soon
Wth, Mong was Ssak!? Still, I wouldn't have expected him to 2-0, good performance from him, especially some of his plays in the Winners' match Medics' blind sounds like a smart tactic - zerg often relies on those two lurkers morphing at the top of the ramp alone to hold their third, it'll be interesting to see if it gets wider use.
