EPTI'm been blessed to have my internet back on in time to see the revival of Brood war begin. Flash losing was a bummer but the whole event was still fun to watch. I hope Tastosis stays around to continue the great casting of Brood War games.

Not what I would've expected given that BW is supposedly much more popular. That could be a plethora of reasons. SC2 finals are in the evening so its easier for people to come to watch after work. | ||

Thats true actually, there are more people for sc2 now but keep in mind that this is on a saturday and koreans work on saturday so the fact that sc1 was at 2:30pm didnt help. And I very often go to pc bangs here and I have never seen anyone play sc2 here, but I see a lot of people play sc1, ums in particular. | ||

I'm not saying it wasn't fun, just lackluster. I think despite some sloppiness Shuttle's play was amazing, and equally amazing to watch. And, of course, 3-0 blowouts are fun to watch in their own ways. But IMHO, and I'm not trying to disparage Sharp's effort or his dedication, he was way out of his league here, which could be one reason why Shuttle looked so bloody amazing. I commend Sharp for making it so far, as with Shuttle (lord knows we need different faces making it deeper in these tournaments). But I think he's fortunate to have even made it to the finals, because in my opinion he had no place in it. I think part of the reason is that he gets matched up with so many Terran players (the Terran roster is pretty stacked, so he probably gets plenty of practice, too), not to mention his group was the easiest of the bunch (no offense to those Group B players). His vT is impressive enough, and it's probably nice that he's been able to ride that wave deep into these tournaments. But his vP is sorely lacking. (Hell, I think if Jaehoon had somehow inexplicably managed to make it to these finals he would have had a good chance of winning.) Even in the first game, playing safe, he turtled a bit too long (while Shuttle bought time), and when he finally moved out, he got wiped off the battlefield. Shuttle's control of the games, along with his deeper strategic play and preparedness, his economic command, superior map control, and tactical prowess, completely shut down Sharp to the point where he had no answer to anything Shuttle threw at him. I'm really curious as to why anyone would have thought Sharp had a chance in this series (other than some emotional longing), especially if you also consider that his competition was the guy that 3-1'ed Last (widely considered to be the current best player, the AlphaGo). Anyway... Having said all that, congratulations still go to Shuttle on a deserved, dominating win. | ||
