From which point sair+dt opening considerd "straight"?

Uh?

Here's straight up openings:

Fast expo into ground units
2 gate
1 gate into expansion or at least not all-in play.

Non straight up:
Cannon rush
Fast expo into reaver sair
Dragoon/reaver
Dragoon rush
ETC

See, if you go 1 gate sair dt to expo, it's about as straight up as you can get.

jeez stop being so pedantic! I don't think you can apply "straight-up" to any of ra's plays, and FE is pretty standard in the pro scene right now. i don't think you can simply categorise stuff like that

I haven't seen goon rush in a while =]

It was just examples of what's straight up and what's not, the way nal_ra played in this game is about as straight up as you can get.

Seriously.

Now Ra has an easy path to the semifinals! It's a *very* good chance that he will only have to play PvT for the rest of the tournament now.

Specifically, bo3 vs Yooi, bo5 vs Oov (ouch), bo5 vs Boxer (if he manages to beat Oov), champion


Why would he play vs oov?
If Ra >Yooi, then he would play in winners final vs Boxer, if he beats him, ----> Ra is in final. Or am i missing something?

I don't know how it works, but it doesn't look like there's a winners bracket and a loser's bracket in this MSL anymore. For example Chojja lost 2 games but is still in the tournament. It would seem that if Ra wins his "group" and Boxer wins his, Ra will play the second in Boxer's "group", which is most likely Oov. But again, I'm not sure how this format works so I may be wrong.


There are two new groups now, with same system as before. Here is a nice post by jkillashark that explains most of it.

This season Ra and Boxer really showes why they are the most feared bo1-players out there.

It would be such a dream final if the two could come through all the way!

Boxer vs Ra for both OGN and MBC. That would be the shit

Oh and btw, am I the only one feeling that changing the format of the MSL from the straight up winner/loser bracket to a more group play oriented tournament with two bo5 semifinals and a bo5 final is the best thing that ever happend to the MSL?

My upset vote right here guys

Yooi>IPXZerg Considering map and the fact his style was more anti nada/oov counter than i think yooi might just win it.

Boxer > OOv not voting against boxer you tools!

Midas > Kingdom

rA > Chojja probably ra will outsmart him.


Wow you lucky little jjasheek

Protoss at its finest? I think so..

Eh, the link doesn't state what happens after #1 and #2 in the current groups are decided, which is teh whole point of confusion.

Why did kingdom not attack the scv's early, firing on the bunker which was repariring...was really p ointless...he could've crippled Midas' eco much worse!
I thought that was really stupid too. He could have gotten a lot of SCV kills with all those dragoons.
