But Snow has been my favorite player (alongside Movie) since a period before his quarter finals vs Jaedong in MSL. This guy is one of the greatest talents to come up at around 2010, yet this is his very first semifinals throughout his whole career. I cannot even begin to imagine how much he wants this. | ||

I guess this is an all-in that the game works 50% some of the time and pulls even in some other cases? He has a 50/50 shot if Snow is right next to him depending on the direction Snow scouts in and it turns out even if it's cross-positions since the dragoon will be out in time? If that assumption is correct it works vs this type of opening in 1/3rd of cases, loses in 1/3rd and pulls even in 1/3rd? Am I missing something? | ||

It was the same back in the Nate MSL 2009 with Flash vs Jaedong where after the powercut game 3, Flash just didn't look llike the same player. His reaction speaks volumes imo though I don't think he was that thrown off tbh. Biggest mistake was losing that shuttle with 2 reavers and not pushing Snow after he had the goon advantage at Snow's exp. Gave Snow the opportunity to stabilize a bit, get the pylon, cannon etc... | ||

Even though Mini lose some probes to dts, he had a large advantage there. Something like 8 to 3 goons, but he didn't push it and Snow prepared for the assault as best as one can in that situation. | ||

At first in liquipedia it was written that the final will be on 20th, but in the end of the stream they showed us that it will be played on 27th of May. I wonder if there will be any rescheduling of the match for the 3rd place as well? | ||

None. Like I would expect a 1200 mmr player to not make that mistake. It's completely incomprehensible. To me, it looks like he really misjudged the distance to Snow's expansion. | ||

My reaction to seeing that was comparable to say, if a zerg went 9pool speed, made 10 lings first, protoss saw that, protoss countered by not just building 3 cannons in his natural, but literally 7, and zerg then going 'well I kinda committed to my speedling build' and then building another 16 lings and attacking with 28 of them. That's the level of stupidity displayed in the sparkle game. | ||

That's the level of stupidity displayed in the sparkle game. Not to mention that Mini did send the shuttle to initially scout the expo. If he had simply unloaded his units back in his base, he could've defended against the drop (or Snow wouldn't even have dropped). Just let the shuttle die. It's a BO disadvantage, but by no means an unwinnable position. I guess his brain just went into some denial mode and just blanked out. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't opening robo on Sparkle quite a risky opening to began with? The standard opening should be Stargate corsairs. So what was his build trying to blind counter? | ||

But getting screwed by the randomness is no excuse for what happens when he gets scouted by the sair and it starts attacking his shuttle while his shuttle is still in his main base.. there's no defense for this. Accept that you lost your first shuttle and don't try to go again until you have speed. Might as well have just said gg the second he was scouted and left the game, I'd have more respect for that tbh. | ||

Also, SnOw has some real luck with his scouting=) He always get that perfect scout! I guess the sparkle game would have looked a lot different had Snow not scouted him on the first try. Mini's build was more of a 66.6% scout. If Mini didn't find snow with the shuttlescout he'd try another location for his first drop, while Snow needed the 33.3% luck to make it that one-sided atleast. Snow played it smarter and cooler, I think Mini is a force to be reckoned with but he needs a bit more experience from the big stage. | ||

Is there any hope for a real BW European revival with Remastered in mind? I'm not sure if i'm just totally out of the loop.. wish people would at least get back into UMS/BGH as a way to get into 1v1 in the long run. I supported BW through the whole time SC2 has appeared and will continue to do so, i genuinely believe BW will outlast and prove to be the superior game as long as we can pass on our knowledge and passion in a genuine (not fake MLG) way. Also - really sad for Mini and that mistake. Sad way to lose. | ||
