Sharp Sea (because <3 Sea) Last Flash/Sea out of group C would be really nice. If flash loses, afreeca is going to be annoyed they didn't make the group stage bo3s. | ||

Jaehoon Zero Hero Lots of ZvT tonight. Sea and Zero have everything on the line, so that's definitely the game to watch. With Last and Hero both in the ro8 already I wouldn't be surprised by some cheese. Should be good games all around though. | ||

Also, at the time he had 3 vessels out there were defilers on the field already. So I don't think it was early. Certainly didn't feel like it. I'm a quite out of the loop regarding timings now though. | ||

 EffOrt, with such early hive he had swarm and lurkers to easily push back the M&Ms... but then opting to put all his resources into mutas?! Don't think I've ever seen this type of play in his stream play -- ultras and lings, throw in some lurker drop harass and he would have likely had it.Props to  sSak for mixing it up, going the risky route of early wraiths on two bases without walling up.Going to be at least 5 Terran in the Ro8 -- SSL10 redux  | ||

Yeah, sacrificing vessels left and right because he parked them everywhere without marines as well as leaving his main entrance open to runbys 14 minutes into the game isn't sloppy. Alright. We might have watched different games then. It almost seemed to me that Ssak didn't care at all because he was so far ahead economy-wise... | ||

Also my belief that by.hero sucks got a boost. But then apparently every Zerg sucks at muta micro these days. Cool game from Jaehoon, though he got help from Sharp getting too aggressive with that last attack. | ||

Effort was not expecting ssak to be that well prepared for him, he cut his 3rd, made fast wraith, denying muta and forcing hydra while imprisoning effort in his base with mines. | ||

Pretty disappointed by Effort, he didn't have to face Flash, not even Bisu or any S player in his group but still lost and now out(?). If Bisu was there he would toyed Ssak. 1st I thought it's Offline Choker vs. Online King match but Sea was godly today. And interview was so awesome, this guy has balls. Sea is my favourite terran from now on. Thought last match should be MVP - AlphaGo vs. 400 APM consistent Bisu crusher SSL champ zerg (we need a nickname bois). Hero just dismantled Mong last week so I thought Last gonna have a nightmare time vs. him, I fucking mean hero is top 3 zerg.. Game was on FS, nothing weird or cheese. Zerg lost to simple M&M push. It remminds be SSL11 where Mind crushed Killer because he didn't have enough sunkers, BUT Hero got like 4+ sunkens still it wasn't enough. Feeling bad not seeing Artosis on. BW is reviving after 6 years and he gets vacation. So much passion... He is so stressed because of pashun so he goes to release it.../facepalm. Kudos to Wolf, he is really good caster (he is so serious sometimes though) and replaced him, I'm starting to get used and love TastyWolf Sigma Σ (summary) = (not that sign on Taebaek map though) I think Last can take out Flash. This guy can beat T, Z, P and obtaion 70%, if he got those stats on KeSPA wonder who he could be... Best is out but Last remains. It means AlphaGo The Machine vs. The God match gonna occur. Last note: Last deserves it, he's post kespa God if he wins this ASL because he was so underrated. PS: Just reminding to not to harsh. Let's just stop criticizaing titans. We aren't gonna be, fail like them at least in 10k years. Every fucking player was/is/gonna be great on this tourney. | ||

The idea of out macroing a terran is fine and dandy, but you need to be able to get a base advantage and the way bases are spaced on a lot of the fighting spirit derivative maps, it seems really easy for the terran to harass without sacrificing much, and simultaneously be the most secure race against counter attacks. I'm crossing my fingers for Afreeca to mix up the map pool next tournament. Maybe even throw terrans under the bus for a bit, it's definitely more fun to root for the underdog race. | ||

From pvz finals (SSL11, NSL), into TvT RO8 all the way to finals. That's why I think people should stop complaining about maps like taekbaek mountain and pathfinder, we need those to balance everything and ALSO it gives some pretty epic games since the races at a disadvantage have to step up their game and come out with an interesting build or play differently. I think it's just good in general. The pros seems to prefer to always play on standard maps though. | ||

With Jaedong return, hopefully Zerg can step up their game. But Protoss won't until Bisu stop trolling or with Jangbi and Stork return which looks won't be happening. | ||

I thought Effort was playing ssak pretty even until close to the end, and the loss - or at least how quickly it came - was due to trying to force the game with mutas rather than switching back to dark swarm play after the goliaths started piling up too fast. There was a lot of sloppy play on both sides: ssak was completely unable to protect his vessels, and Effort never secured the 3rd/4th properly. It was an interesting game, but not a very well-played one, if that makes sense. | ||

Hey outscar, I dont think you should be derisive of Artosis, Dan has done more for this community than 99% of people. Also, consider that he most likely had that vacation planned for a while. You also have to consider that he has a wife and daughter, and possibly other family that he is meeting up with while on vacation. In that context, missing a few days of casting BW versus cancelling plans with your loved ones is an easy decision to make. Remember that they're planning on continuing this tournament, Tasteless constantly reminds us that they want BW back completely, these aren't just "legends matches' or a one off thing. So we'll get more Artosis casting in the future. Personally, this is a dream come true. I never thought we would have tastosis casting BW, and yet here we are. Flash vs Sea, wow! Great games. Between BW and how good LotV is now, I dont think there's ever been a better time for SC fans. | ||
