TBH I understand his decision to try and disrupt Larva in the early game, considering how often the zerg just simply chokes, even when ahead. And I doubt Hyun will be able to give Movie a run for his money in a macro game. | ||

I know it's been said a few times already but how amazing is it that we are seeing amazing Broodwar being played at korean professional level in 2017 with so many old pros on the scene! With live streams and amazing English casters Artosis and Tasteless. I think TL should send a mass email to everyone who was active here back in the days that Broodwar is back! I myself stumbled here a week ago just to check about the new update and I'm hooked again. | ||

I believe both reasoning were good, Larva went overpool expecting to take advantage vs pool9 as it is most likely to happen on this map, while Hyun went for hatch12 thinking that his opponent would go pool12 to defend pool9 and take advantage of it. Hyun has been just more audacious and it paid off. Nothing too crazy to me. Larva could have handled this a bit better though. I always found Larva's mind game to be pretty bad, he has this habit of making the wrong choice during official match. | ||

Ssak -> EffOrt, gives flash an easier opponent though not all Zergs anymore and makes Group of Death. Ssak -> Bisu, Makes uber group of death EffOrt -> ggaemo, makes Group B harder and gives him an even easier Zerg. Bisu -> Mong, makes pure protoss group for the lulz. | ||

Jaedong in general was looking kind of emo during the group selection ceremony, and he looked even worse after sSak decided to get revenge on him by picking Last and trying to create a group of death. Jaedong's ZvT has looked really shaky on stream recently, so I think he was really trying to avoid playing Last if possible. Anyways, at the end of the ceremony, everyone got up and started talking except Jaedong, who was just staring off into space. | ||

His weakness is micro/macro, although they're still decent. I still find Movie's play extremely strange, because by proxying on Camelot he's playing into his weakness. If Larva had gone 12 hatch, he might have been alright, but there was no way he was going to out-micro Larva. Circuit Breaker was also very strange. He didn't do an all-in but went for gateway pressure and either messed up his build or played very risky. Going gateway first can be great and it applies a lot of pressure. But it also forces the zerg to make lings, and if you can't pin him in his base with your zealot pressure, and you have no cannon at your natural- well you saw what happened. Movie just seemed really off today. | ||

I'm pretty unsatisfied with the groups. I wanted more evenly balanced skill across the groups. It does not feel right that any of those zergs in group A will go to the ro8 in this way. Has it always been the way that the title-holder can do the last minute switch? | ||

Judging from Jaedong's reserved streaming style (relative to Flash's/Bisu/s energetic streams), I thought Jaedong was always like that. | ||

Yeah, the new map seems really unbalanced, Terran is really strong on it in both matchups and Protoss is really limited in their possibilities to play it. Outsiders was always a fun but unbalanced map. Especially without the team houses to really train and break maps down I don't think having 2 wonky maps in a map pool of 3 was a good idea. It did not give us many good games. Really really looking forward to the Ro16, man I am so happy that Brood War is back and growing! | ||

It's not that bad of a group I expect him to pull through. And their side of the bracket will be easier, so Ro4 isn't impossible for him to do. I think there aren't bracket "sides". Ro8 will be randomly picked. At least that's how ASL2 went. I didn't remember that. Thanks for the correction. But did they limit that 1st can only play vs. a 2nd placed opponent? That would suddenly make it much harder for him. Yes, there are two pools. And players who played in ro16, can't face each other again in ro8. | ||

Soulkey could be trouble for him, but I think Bisu's biggest threat in his group would be effort since they have a very high chance to meet in the winners match. I feel more confident with Bisu vs Sea right now for winners because Bisu has been absolutely crushing terran lately. I also like seeing so many zerg heavy groups such as A and D. They will be canceling out their high numbers before Ro8. Group A is guaranteed to lose 2 zerg. Meanwhile Group C is guaranteed at least 1 protoss to move forward. We might even get 2 brotoss from group C. Also, notice that Flash skipped trading effort to group D. Potentially losing either JD or Effort. He would much rather pit effort against Bisu and Sea. FUUUK this is getting good already! | ||

I suspect 3 hatch with a bit more drones for the mineral only, into lurkers with mass ling and early carapace upg. Then take another main. Then mass up behind defilers while taking more bases. Some z will go for drops before defilers to abuse the min only and large terran main, and at the same time expand to the island. It'll be easier to open than other maps since z has more minerals to fight the 5 rax. T will probably rush to dropship to abuse the big main of the 4th base. Some terrans will probably avoid the 5 rax build and go for a 3-4 rax into mech to get earlier tanks/vessels. If the zerg is vertical, they will push. If horizontal, they will take the side expo and push. If across, take side expo and center while pushing. | ||

I actually happen to be going through the VoDs for 2008 EVER OSL right now, and that's pretty much what all the Zergs were doing on Andromeda. Of course, Terran meta back then was focused a lot more on defensive play while getting their tech up, but I think the mass ling/lurker style will probably fit well even against the newer styles. I think overall the map tends to favor the Zerg player unless the Terran can get a really solid 5th base down. | ||

I'm hoping to see Bisu and Effort/Soulkey to advance. I can see Sea losing to any of the players but he is the runner-up from last season so who knows. As for Group D, must suck for Jaedong to be in the same group as Last. Last is such a strong player, sSak really screwed things up for him. sSak is definitely the weakest in the group especially if he isn't practicing like they say. Still, hero's ZvZ isn't shabby and Last is strong in TvZ so I think Jaedong might be in trouble...
