I don't understand why killer didn't clean up the tanks at the 5 o'clock expansion with the same mutas he did clean up the other tanks, but i am just a casual BW viewer, so i don't really know anything about the matchups^^
He wanted/needed to do some damage so he tried morphing them into guardians instantly.
Which, sadly, got scouted and killed off before anything happened.

This is just bad for the tournament. There are so few zergs that can zvt, and few good zergs in general in SSL. The matchup is by far the most biased one in the game, to the point of imbalance, and with Killer out I am afraid that we have already seen the best of zvt.
Errr. Yeah well. Since when do we debate about imbalance in bw? A game that has as good of balance as a RTS of this caliber can get? Mong played really well today and Killer not so much. I'm usually biased towards the zerg in this MU but Mong deserved it to advance.
Also Zero may bring up his ZvT on his old level. That would be awesome.

Well yeah i saw that, but i don't really understand why that had more priority than being safe for a while i guess.

Whenever Zero learns to hit Q on his keyboard, then he'll get his zvt back up

He did great in a recent racewar showmatch, beating Mind, Mong and sSak.

Zergs need an higher economic leverage than terran to be on equal ground, so he had to hinder mong's economy no matter what. Mong with that strong economy meant killer wouldn't have enough army power to wipe mong's forces and prevent him from taking all the map and he would be behind the ropes all the time, just as it happened. Killer had to level it up or wouldn't get any chance to get ahead After losing his 3rd all begun to crumble and mong didn't lose the grab of the situation for a moment. Mong played his best there.
On a side note, I think I didn't saw an LR that full of live since the last OSL, goddam. BW

I really, really hope that Zero can do something vs terran in the next rounds. We need zergs, tvz is imo the best matchup, but we need great zergs, and there are very few. I can imagine a bunch of terrans winning the SSL, and zergs? Nah. On a side note, long live BW, Sonic is king, and I have enjoyed every minute of today's matches .

happy that minidong is out. zero hwaiting!

Mong looks so tired :D its almost midnight and going for offline tournament drains more than playing online tournament. I'm just saying, it's funny cause he is fat. I got banned from one of the snipealot channels for that joke.
I'm permanently banned from all snipealot chats, for teh lulz reasons.

killer was playing catchup - and doing a great job - ever since he lost top left (including like 9 lurkers and many drones) pretty early on. he needed to be offensive while also managing to defend as inexpensively as he could, hence him trying to hold off pushes with just 1 lurker and defiler. the game wasn't over after top left was killed but monq really had a big advantage afterwards.
terran can sometimes come back just through defending and their opponents throwing away units, but zerg can't make a comeback through just defense, they rather need to use lurker+swarm to hold off attacks while stabbing terran in the back.

i only saw the first two games of mong vs killer then had to leave. opening the results tab now was a really nice surprise! @];-D

Oi Killer y u do dis to me -__-
|
Killer being eliminated is just the first step in Bisu winning this tournament. More terrans to throw in to his unbeatable PvT is always good! :D
|
Had Killer and Mong winning in Liquibets, wanted always wanted at least ZerO to win. Glad ZerO made it out, and Mong beating Killer to not go home in tears.
|
A grim day. 
At least Zero have made it.
