Well, for someone who's open to all-in games, games 1 and 4 were really entertaining. I like that Kwanro put his style to work but even YellOw who is know for low econ games can do macro games really well too. Disappointed that Kwanro didn't put work into it and stuck to the flowchart.

Still, happy for Mind!!!! 박성균!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 time champion!!!

Yes i know. But with the old way i could see in an instant who is the winner of each exact set and on which map they played. It was much faster and convenient imo. Now i just skip checking threads for scores
Enjoy the game

Indeed. Added complexity does not always make things better.

welp I don't mind cheeses at all (it's the Kong starleague after all)

But man some of Kwanro's follow ups were so sloppy :/

Plus I just got bunker rushed 2 times in a row in my DRIT game. I blame Mind.

Damn. Kwanro really could not deal with the bunker rushes, and when he got to play a game and do what he wanted to, he just went for silly all ins.

Please, someone renew by updating Mind's wikiTL page by adding KSL 1st place to his accomplishments. I don't know how to do, so don't ask me to do this by myself.

i cant believe how bad kwanro lost game 4, that was like the the fail of the year or maybe more than a year coz i cant remember such thing in past years, it was like both hiuk and jaehoon spirits joined forces and go into the mind of kwanro.
Its like what happens when two D- iccup players play a game with little to no understanding of what your opponent can do to you and u can have a crazy twists just like that.

After watching the other games, i can say im highly dissapointed by Mind, if his best matchup is all cheese, then this talks real bad about him. I was rooting for him as i liked his solid playstyle, but what i saw was none of this. Kwanro play was much greater and i switched sides after game 3, too bad he didnt manage to beat that cheesy ass.
Luv ya BroodWar!

This series (and maybe the tournament generally) was pretty good at making StarCraft feel lifeless. Several times the commentators cheers felt really forced.

For Mind vs Kwanro specifically, there's no problem at all that Mind did very safe bunker rushes each game. I think it was a little predictable, but I understand that it's easier to prepare for the early game than for the late, and that a best of 7 series when you have a very casual practice environment is kind of forcing your hand. I also totally forgive micro errors or little lapses in macro and other not perfect stuff. But what really disappointed me is strategic failures that should just be second nature to the players with so much experience. Killing 8 drones and then skimping on defense when all you need to do is not die to a ling counter. Or going 5 base greedlord with guardian tech when your opponent is on one base and all you need is a decent number of lurker ling or normal timed defilers. That's stuff their coaches would yell at them about if they still had them.

IMO KSL had games that were like 0.5% of the glory of the pro days of BW, and SSL had games that were more like 40%.
LEGEND!! LEGEND!!

I agree chef. Considering the name recognition of players going into this tournament, it really was a bust in terms of high level and exciting games. Other then Mong vs Zero, no series is really memorable. I hope that the higher brood war interest will help motivate players to step it up in the next KSL.
