You really love to simplify bw matches into neat little children's stories  It's admirable but bw really doesn't work that way. His bo put him in a position that obviously allowed him to win. Although to do so required superior micro and game management skills. There is no real answer to your question though. It would be like asking if a baseball player hit a homerun because of his swing, or in spite of it. Obviously a silly question | ||

ok I feel better now. Seriously it gets old when every single proleague match all you here is OH (Insert mediocre pro gamer here) WTF!? So and so is better! Yes the coaches are aware. They have in house tourniments daily (at least some teams) and their own ranking system complete with statistics. They need to allocate the map practice coverage based on who is naturally doing well given a certain match up. This allows their S class players to focus on success in upcomming individual leagues. | ||

I'm glad sAviOr won, but that was extremely sloppy and he probably would've lost if Hwasin wasn't slumping also. The only thing more retarded than his terrible muta/scourge/ultra control was Hwasin's terrible sci vessel control. Why on earth would you lead your vessels 4-5 range in front of your mmf against a player that refuses to use lurkers? Oh right, so you can d-matrix the ultralisks before they start to attack! | ||

No, my theory is that in one moment Hwasin thought that vessels are MUCH cheaper and faster to produce than marines, so why sacrificing the precious tiny guards instead of those ugly and useless spheres. | ||

Of course, Calm's multi-tasking might not be very good when he's not the on with the initiative. We saw the same about Saviour when he lost to PJ at WCG. I must say I have now watched Calm outside IEST as I find it too bothersome to watch VODs and couldn't care to watch streams. I really wish that there were more replays from Korean tournaments, and Calm is one of the players I would like to watch the most as I love zergs and like Yellow on a good day, everything seemed to fall into place when Calm played. Calm might not yet be handling the pressure of big games very well and is probably rough around the edges compared to the top players, but I wouldn't ever go as far as to say that he's not a good player. By the way, I'm also surprised to see that Sheis, who even had troubles against LeiLei and didn't play an impressive mirror at IEST, suddenly is supposed to be really good in mirrors, likely to beat a well-known gamer like Iris. It seems from the comments that he was close to doing so, actually. Of course, I might just be underestimating the level of Korean progaming or Sheis might just have heavily underperformed at IEST. He didn't strike me to be at the same level as Calm, at least. | ||
