thanks for taking over form the regulars.
yeah uhhhh you might have to take over soon. sleep deprived so hard right now. sleep at 5, wat at 9. but fuck it, love for the game. too much passion, though ill probs wake up at 8 tomorrow.
Light with the boss-fro interview AND DANCE! LMAO!
Anyway, the beggining of the replay showed why Bisu's first big engagement ended so badly. He A-moved his control groups while there were barracks floating around, and since goons can attack air, they ended up getting distracted. Don't know if this was intentional by Light, but if so, it was totally genius.
So honsin went forward rax/bunker pressure, into 1 port cloaked wraiths, and is now behind in factories, supply, and seems to be behind in wraiths as well.
Looking pretty grim. And Fantasy breaks the front!
Soulkey going with a 9pool followed up by a fast lair, while soO elected to 12pool and expand. Cross map spawns means Soulkey doesn't even get a chance to hassle the building natural. Mutas now on the way for Soulkey.

If we'd only be so lucky!
Soulkey went for a ground bust/runby that really did not work, was then forced back into playing defense (absent spore colonies) by soO running his lings back into Soulkey's main.
Standard ZvZ muta/scourge war over Soulkey's natural ensues, with soO coming out on top. GG.

I gotta say, you're a bit of an optimist there.
Yeah, I've gotta agree. Woongjin are where they are b/c of their strong SC2 not their BW. Still, I believe Sun is available for the SC2 Bo3, so that's one positive.

Yup, they've got both Sun and beSt who is also pretty good at sc2 available
Well hoping for this zerg vs zerg to be volatile and Sacsri to win lol, yeah plus SKT has best and Sun, and zero is in this volatile zvz and Soulkey is in bw HAHAHAHAHA (no ace match please T_T)

Jury's still out for me with BeSt. I've seen him play some okay PvPs in SC2, but I've also seen him play some pretty average stuff. I'll be interested to see how he fares tonight if he gets a run.

Well they should run best, seeing as Fantasy bisu (T_T....) and Soo were in bw, so dno i havnt really seen anyone else shine from sc2 play apart from best and sun
Some nice Colossus control from Sun to stomp forcefields and keep it alive while trying to bust the ramp but Shy was just too well prepared and had plenty of units cranked out/.
OGN on their HD stream basically spoilt the 2nd and 3rd matchup today, because they played Sun's, Shy's, Best's and Flying's music themes earlier, lol. I guess they were testing them / rewinding them, but it went on the stream.
The plot thickens. Third and fourth place are going to be hell to decide. KT looks boned tho, but they can still fuck over some teams I guess? Even though one of their remaining games is vs Ace...

Those 4 are done with matches against each other. All of the remaining games of the middle pack(Stars, Khan, STX, SKT) are all against 8th, CJ, KT and Ace so it's still possible for KT to grab the 4th PO spot(even 3rd, if they 3-0s and the 4 goes 0-3 or something).
What an amazing performance by Light on Game 1. It's almost scary to see Light play that well against Bisu in his worst match-up. Yea we all know that Light is very good in tvz and tvt as long as he doesn't die during early game, but seriously what an incredible showcase in tvp!! Invisible Terran? Nope, Gangnam style with an afro lol.
On a side note, it was unfortunate for Woongjin that they were unable to carry the momentum from Light's Game 1 performance and capitalize, but I am glad SKT won as a KHAN fan (now we can surpass Woongjin in the rankings if we beat them this weekend)
Lastly, can somebody inform me on the structure of the upcoming playoffs? How many teams are advancing to the playoffs and is it going to be the same format as Season 1's playoffs? Thanks in advance!
