Skyhigh and pepe don't count? | ||

Adding a few sunkens around the expos and playing like it was a true sair reaver woulda been the best thing for him to do while letting his lead grow slowly Well that kills economy a lot, this gives Toss choice to bust either natural or 3rd expansion (gas one). Or Toss could just push natural and send few zealots to deal few sunkens at your 3rd and you are now way behind. | ||

I wouldn't mind seeing either of these in the finals: Best/Stork, Bisu/Stork, Flash/Stork. bisu mind rematch would be pretty sick too | ||

I dunno if it was Plexa or FS who said it before, but Bisu's PvZ is so strong because he somehow forces his opponents to mass hydras. After that it's storms and scarabs and guts on the floor. No matter who it is, as long as they keep getting lulled into doing the same shit on a different day, they will lose. Edit: YES to a Bisu v Mind rematch, that'd be sick. | ||

That being said I expect Flash to own Bisu again . I cant wait for Bisu to ruin your expectations. This will not be the OSL semi from couple of seasons ago when Bisu was slumping and no matter how good flash's TvP in general might be he... + Show Spoiler + he lost on the most imba TvP map today against stork | ||

"One of the main rules applied in StarCraft matches used to be “If you’re the better player, play safe. If you’re not, do something unexpected.” This “rule” was formed on the basic principle that the advantage of being a better player expands over time. You used that one build to counter it all, with some small adjustments for specific scenarios. In iloveoov’s prime, he always fast expanded, no matter his opponent’s build. He just adapted the Engineering Bay timing a bit and he had a “worry-less build order” until the midgame." -Mind Games by Rage That's my only source of information, don't know anything more specific. | ||

Simply put, oov always adjusted his EBay timing so that his expansions would be relatively safe, without him having to sacrifice troop count and rely on static defense. A lot of it had to do with the information he'd gather through scouting. Using TvZ as an example, he'd always adjust his timing so that he'd have a number of turrets at his expansion without hurting his econ. In turn his expansion/s wouldn't get raped by mutas, and so on. | ||

I remember when I started watching SC, there were interviews with some top players who thought that Blizzard should release one last patch because Terran was obviously just a little stronger than the other two races and it wasn't quite balanced. There have been no balance patches since then. | ||

Although it is very annoying, I do not think he is capable of understanding the mechanics of SC in near future  . | ||
