Gaema and Namja are both easily playable for zerg =\ I think the real reason why it was really hard, was becuase there was a god awful amount of talent :D

Then again, after watching mondi lose to assem, in one of the games, to 2 firebats makes me wonder :D

No, that's actually very common if you expand there.

this tourney was really fucking hard for zerg users, imo and in the other zerg finalists, the maps picked were extremely imba for zvst and only namja iyagi was playable. Not to mention that isles of sirens was too bad for zvsp, there are tons of air maps more balanced. I think when nazgul made the map selection he was just thinking on pvst / pvsz balance and he didnt care about tvsz.

When seeing Suncow and Control (has won 5 zvt rounds) in top 6 (thats 2 zergs out of 6 players) I can't help but think some people are overreacting. Gaema gowon isn't easy zvt (Ret beat Trek on it, but lost zvp on gaema gowon a matchup that favors zerg), but no map is perfect? There isn't a single map that doesn't have a hard matchup. NONE. Kickdog also beat Androide for example, one of the most deadliest tvz players.

I think assem is winning this. Too bad mondragon got eliminated but stinger played really nice tvz the whole tourney, though im not sure about his other matchups; i mean losing to yan, and control(really bad game). Anyway i hope for a final between Assem and Fisheye. I hope hg or Fish eliminates Testie! controL has been the dark horse this tourney, and i think he'll beat suncow but leg/fish/testie/hg should beat him in a BO3.

Maps are balanced imo exept gaema zvt. And siren zvp. Blade storm is not unbalanced, and though namja has a slight adventage to terran its not as bad as some people say.

So ridicolous how some gamers are complaining about the maps after getting knocked out. Especially gamers who wouldnt do better on good zerg maps. This makes me really angry , cause it sounds like Nazgul made a big fault or the tournament sucked, what both didnt happen.

Toss users could cry even more..

GameaGewon Z>P
Blade Storm Z>P
Isles of siren P>Z
Namja Yigaja Z>P Z<P Z=P ( dont really know )

Gamea Gewon T>Z
Blade Storm Z>T oR T=Z
Namja Z=T ( dunno exactly !? )
Isles of Siren Z=T ( maybe even Z>T )

but who really cares.. the mappool wasnt perfect.. but nowhere near to bad..

pretty impressive by stinger , but alls i saw of his wins were tvz and 1 pvp vs nooks. I wonder how good his other m/us are, i remember when he played in wcg his tvz was strong then also.
ALSO, how can the general opinion of assem have been so low... he's been in korea forever god damn the guy must have gotten good.... but he is always second to leg!!!
