Just why don't they do like Stork pump from 2 -3 stargates until he has a control group and them move out then risking his sairs daying to scourge ... Stork has the best PvZ on andromeda i could argue he has the best pvz in the world right now other tosses seem to make to many mistakes ...

Flash vs Much this is going to be good :D

Jaedong won, as expected.
|
My predictions:
August 12
(Z)Luxury < (T)Mind
August 13
(T)Flash > (P)Much
August 14
(P)Stork > (T)fOrGG
|
where to watch that? Is Yaoyuan working? MBC or OGN?
|
Oh wow Jaedong really owning Best in the games he won, hes playing really good these past days!
Winning GOMTV final, owning best now, qualified for MSL.
|
BackHo can't 2-0 Stork for a second consecutive time..

how did best even take a single game from Jaedong?
Yeah, I mean it's not like BeSt recently beat the #2-ranked Zerg in a best-of-five series on Z > P maps.

The same zerg who's 3-6 in his last 2 Bo5's ZvP?
And none of those wins being straight up late-game victories? Lux's ZvP is very inconsistent in tourney. It's just because Zerg has a lot of all-in type strats vs Toss. Lux plays the odds similar to ZvZ. He's not anywhere near spectacular as a ZvP. Force him into a game where he can't win on BO and he tends to get horribly owned.
So Best beating him is not THAT impressive. Not when trying to compare Best to other S-class players. Especially not a monster like JD.

I'm not saying I didn't expect Jaedong to beat BeSt or that BeSt has great PvZ (it's his worst matchup by far, and quite weak overall), but merely pointing out that Dazed_Spy makes himself seem a bit misinformed by acting incredulous when BeSt takes even one game off of Jaedong.
|
Oh man that 3rd game was so sloppy from BeSt, losing 2 shuttles and some corsairs to nothing carelessly.
|
Hope all 3 Terrans will advance to the semi finals. Then Jaedong loses to his oponent and 3 Terrans go to the WCG.
|
1. Jaedong
2. Flash
3. Luxury
Dream team fighting

Because Best is really really good.

jaedong was really the worst possible opponent for best, since luxury's ZvP isn't that overwhelming and since best plays (imo) just incredible PvP and still very good PvT
think so too, forgg is currently playing outstanding; I don't think that flash can beat much either, flash really seems to slump right now (although this expression has been used way too often nowadays, but flash basicly lost all of his important matches the last weeks) - would gladly find out to be mistaken despite of the fact, that I'd also like to see a toss in WCG

there are so many tournaments and leagues for all these top players that it's impossible for them to win in every single one, I think it'd be better if there were less tournaments. Quality > Quantity.

Best is incredibly overrated. He beats Nada and suddenly he's the best PvT? He then closely beats Luxury, who has sub-par ZvP and relies on all-ins for wins, and suddenly he's the best PvZ? Right.....
He got put in his place by the 3-0 from July and he got so owned in game 3 against Jaedong I was literally laughing out loud. The guy wanders single corsairs around while scourge are patrolling his base and loses 2 of his initial 5 corsairs. He then gets his shuttle, that's surrounded by corsairs, scourged easily. And everything else is just a mess. Worst Sair/Reaver ever.
