Lmao Mong looks like the most starcrafty starcrafter ever. Im rootin for him to win mainly to see Bisu Mantoss him in the semis. Shine has been scoping everybody out as an observer though, im sure he has some sneaky shit planned. Ima say Mong 3-2 shine | ||

The overlords for scouting and the good micro. He used all units perfectly there in combination. Lurkers to keep him from sniping guaridans, hydras to snipe vessels and wraiths and guardians to take tanks and potshots and marines. This was amazing! | ||

Wow MONG nice win on Outsider. Shine went for the greater spire and mong hit him at just the right time. Once Shine was out of mutas it was a done deal. To be frank.. M&M with tanks is always cool to see. Reminds me of that Starcraft ghost cinematic. "Who called in Seige tanks? I wanna know who called in seige tanks onto MY BATTLEFIELD Lieutenant!!!!" - Sarge "We aint got no tanks sarge....." *Zerg begin to charge "Mother Mercy....." - Sarge | ||

Bisu vs sSak was a great series, and this series was great as well. In fact, this Ro8 so far might've been some of the best sets out of any ASL. The games were exciting, we saw some really unique play, and overall it has been a huge blast. | ||

When Bonyth was playing versus FBH he straight up killed the neutral buildings so tank drops couldn't harass his natural later in the game. If you don't kill the neutral buildings you MUST keep an eye on it. Mong deserved to lose that map after making such a rookie mistake unfortunately. That said, Shine played brilliantly in this series and in that game. Mong deserved to lose for many reasons from every game. Really poor showing. | ||

Game 2, Mong would've never suspected that Shine took his third base so fast instead of an inbase hatch. Yes, he scouted his main but it's hard to say what could be running in his mind. The drop did a ton of damage but it so happened that by then, Shine got enough to start his push. Mong also only had 1 port, he added another I think as he saw the guardians. Could've microed his wraith better but he was getting squeezed in and Shine was microing really damn well too. There's a reason that wraith are considered paper planes. Game 4, sure, I agree that Mong should've kept an eye on the back of his base. Maybe break down the disrupters at the back but as mentioned, what are the chances of a proxy hatchery being placed there with a nydus? Anyways, I think Shine played to his strength and prepared well. Can't wait to see how he plays against Bisu. Shine fighting ~ On May 16 2017 20:49 Essbee wrote: Was this on stream?

But If you are an old school fan/player you know that the game isn't imbalanced. Slight tweaks on maps can make it favor one race over another. That shows how balanced the game is. If you are a new fan, nothing wrong about that, but should learn that it bothers people if you pollute game threads with posts whining about imbalances. Simply because you are wrong. Now, if you are an old school bw player and you still think the game isn't balanced then you probably learned over the years to keep that opinion to yourself or to discuss it only on the strategy section. That's why join date is an important factor. I'm as anti-elitist as it can get but talks about imbalances irritate me. I'm sorry. | ||

Also, as a long TL poster, you should know that ballance whining was here (and not only here) from a long time. Once I started follow regulary TL in early 2009 I already seen one in the peak of Zerg victories (Fantasy vs JD SPL final anyone? FBH bizzare wins with battlecruisers? Sea vs JD - one of the biggest traversity of balance whines?) btw first time when I got even interested in TL was first TSL  | ||

Let's just say that I have nothing against elitism and that contrary to popular belief, I think elitism is a good thing. Why? Well, let's just say that when someone is an "elitist" about something, it usually means they have a passion about this certain thing and that they surely know a lot about said thing. And you know the cool thing about this? It allows people who do not know about the certain thing to learn about it from a person who is passionate and has a lot of experience with it, and I think that's awesome. I discovered new passions in my life because of other "elitists". But when the new person who barely knows about the certain thing starts to want to change everything about it because he doesn't understand it or doesn't understand why the elitist like it, then the thing slowly start becoming something else, something that is going to be different from what the elitist originally liked. It might be a disgusting attitude to you, but to me seeing noobs come here to try and change the game we have loved for 2 decades, THAT to me is more disgusting. Love <3 Btw no hard feeling to anyone | ||

Terran focuses on denying muta harrass/denying third/containing zerg/defending against lurk/lings. He's playing against shine though. So I'd say it's even more relevant. He's had time to prepare, shines probably most famous game from before this ASL run was him beating flash with a Proxy nydus. I'd say that Mong didn't do his homework or forgot it during these weird intense surprising games. Not saying your point is wrong,just pointing out another factor in this, one that in my opinion actually makes a bigger difference. | ||

Shine is his own rank( not because he's better or worse but because of his unique style) Effort and Soulkey are top regular zergs alone atm imo. JD still multitasks and macros like a beast but his decisionmaking and confidence needs a boost. As I see things I think his problem with trolls on stream could mean problem with adapting to this new scene with streaming as a mainlife and income. And he's had a break because of his wrist. Maybe he can't practice like before though he's got the work ethics for it. JD:s max level is still the one zerg that can beat Flash imo. Maybe Soulkey is on his way to a new high as well though, could be another zerg up there. Effort was there, but my view on him is that he needs a better zerg meta to do 100%perfect macro and games of. But he's not the one who changes the meta. We'll see how things go. Maybe shines guardians, hyuns island base stuff will change the tvz meta a bit | ||

Glad Shine proves them wrong ! It also shows that all this balance whining is just non-sense, you can play differently, in a lot of ways. Mong didn't play very well (that wall in game 4 with the scvs behind...) but playing against this kind of well prepared cheese is reaaaaally though. Talking about game4 I really wonder what was Mongs plan for the rest of the game, he was sitting on 3 bases (2gas) and not doing much ? Was he happy because Shine hadn't taken any expansion ? Did he want to switch to mech ? Or was he preparing a very late push ? I really don't know what he was doing. | ||

Last has the best chance, he went 3-0 in ASL1 and Flash was already in very good form. Best and Bisu (and even Soulkey) have Outsider and Andromeda, so without Camelot double map it's absolutely doable. That said, all of them are underdogs of course. | ||

Best and Bisu (and even Soulkey) have Outsider and Andromeda, so without Camelot double map it's absolutely doable. That said, all of them are underdogs of course. Pretty much. I think Last can actually beat Flash. Not 3-0 of course, maybe 3-1 or 3-2. Regardless, it'll be really intense. Flash might be solid and the GOAT but Last is just as great of a player at the moment and has been keeping up with him in rankings for the last good year or so. Also, not sure how many posters remember but Last's TvT is one of his strong matchups. It's actually amazing to see how he has grown since the SSL days. I'm talking drastic improvements. His TvT was solid back then to the point where he rode it to the finals while his TvP/Z needed work. I remember back when he lost to Guemchi's forge FE and Kwarno's zerg on Sin Peaks of Baedu in SSL10. I was not impressed with his matchups other than TvT but he's made such a turnaround these last couple of years. If Last beats Flash, I think he has a shot at the finals but there's always a chance that BeSt will become the macro monster he was last season (if he beats SK) or that SK will upset him much like ATB finals. Then there always Bisu (if he beats Shine) or Shine who I wouldn't hesitate to call a monster at series' preparation. Basically, Last is one of the contenders for top players atm and I think Flash fans should be a bit concerned about him facing Last. I could go on and on... Anyways, for me, there's a great storyline to write about if any of the players win the finals and I'm expecting some intense games (except BeSt vs SK, that might be a stomp unless BeSt pulls off the same form during hero last ASL) so all good :D | ||

I know anything can happen in a Bo5, but my intuition is screaming that it'll be a 3-1 victory for Lee Young Ho. | ||

It's very hard to play vs 5rax into mech. What Shine pulled off is very hard to do consistently and repeatedly. Once people are aware of his tricky ways, they'll be less susceptible to them. I'm also not sure he could have pulled off something like that against Flash and Last, or some other terrans, for example. Can't wait for Bisu vs Shine. Bisu's worst nightmare is coming. :D | ||

Did Juni suggest this strat to Shine back in the day? If my memory serves me right, I believe Shine didn't mention Juni when he was interviewed about winning that game vs Flash when he was with Samsung Khan. | ||

Yeah I agree with you, but I think if you can somehow make the terran spend a lot of money on wraiths, it can be a good thing because you can pick them off with hydras/scourges before engaging with guardians. And if he's too passive with wraiths and then terran decided to try and push you, I think guardians are an excellent defensive unit, they are just hard to control since they are slow so you have to make sure they are never out of position. So yeah they are quite a risky unit, but I think they have a decent potential. | ||

God, I want Shine and Jaedong to become best pals and train together 24/7 after watching that video. And it is so funny how Shine improvised the proxy nydus, hey, he didn't kill the buildings, lets go for it! But he rushed and then Shine had a muta presence so he never really had the opportunity to kill them off, made sense! Man, these 2 Bo5 sets so far has been some of the most entertaining and awesome sets ever and I can't believe that we get to experience this when I thought this level of BW was dead a couple of years ago. I miss Fantasy, I miss Jangbi, I wanna see some new fresh talent emerge onto the scene and surprise us all! | ||

When he pulled back, he immediately lost two tanks and ended up in a tight choke. had he backed up with those as well to his bunkers and turrets then maybe he'd have time to get another wraith, come from the side with them instead of head on to the hydras. But this is all captain hindsight stuff, Flash would probably not forget to unsiege his tanks but that was an intense battle, any Terran would make mistakes there.(Except Flash cuz he's not any Terran) | ||
