Group A: Close call, I'm hoping Hwasin will make it out, he should be able to take down both others Group B: Bisu can take down Free and should be able to make it past JangBi. Then again, both Bisu and JangBi are slumping, who can tell?
I have a feeling Luxury might just start playing decent and get out of his group.
Group B is a sad sight for me atleast. Jangbi is slumping quite bad, Bisu has been dropping quite a few games lately and Free was never a PvP specialist. I couldn't really call who's going to get out of it, but I'm hoping Bisu.

He can't pull a Kal because there's no one as bad at PvP as Free for Free to play. :x
2nd shop coming for Hwasin soon. He seems to be planning to expo. Hiya adds 2 facts. Wraiths out for Hwasin now. Hiya expoing soon Dropship gets taken out by Hwasin's wraiths
Oh damn, the games are going now? And I was confused, where are the liquibets and I forgot they are already added and those are the playoffs :D So what's going on now?
Hiya drops Hwasin's 3rd again. The Dships managed to pass the golis. The CC is in the red now. Hwasin mined out in his main and he has his backdoor mineral only up.
Looks to be a large engagement at the middle of the map. I cant tell who will come out on top. More units dying on Hwasin's side.
Hiya makes a BIG drop in Hwasin's main aining to take out his factories and reinforcements. Hwasin pulling dropships to defend. Hwasin manages to defend his main at the cost of his nat where Hiya has forces stationed.
*sigh* this game could have been over so long ago if freaking Hiya didn't lose 7 tanks trying to rush end the game after taking Hwasin's nat. Just want to see Lux play and go to sleep
Not a bad game at all, but Hiya was playing from behind economically and kept dropping his units wrong like seiging vs drops and dropping down ramp instead of upramp and cliffs. 40 min TvT with no BCs is kind of weird though.

Basically Hiya was unable to deal any significant damage with his early advantage, while Hwasin had the right idea by taking the 3rd main. Hwasin almost lost the game for trying to take the 3rd main too early, but once he was able to survive that the outcome was never really in doubt.
Hwasin did his best to try to give away a won game though....
Hwasin had a huge economical lead throughout most of the game. I wouldn't have called him really behind at any point, as everytime he lost a fight he easily remacroed up his entire force. Hiya was desperate for minerals for the entire second half of the game. Hiya looked better off than he was because he was rocking the drop fights for the most part and pulling off some decent harass, but it was pretty much over once Hiya couldn't finish off 9 oclock.
damn hwasin the turtle vs hiya who at least tried to play v offensive.. sucks to see him lose like that but as mentioned before his drops were just horrible... he shoulda won that game so easy ;(
I thought it made sense. Hwasin played that out really well, stalling Hiya until his additional expos could kick in. After that it is only a matter of operational bases, and whether or not you can expand safely.
hwasin has been getting wins on outsider like crazy, and most of them are ones where it looks like he is losing right up until 2 minutes before the gg. he's 5-1 on outsider now i believe

If BCs are used in TvT doesn't depends on the time, but on the map. When it's good for dropship use (which means many places to drop and not easy to protect) you will barely see BCs at all.
Hmm HiyA dropped to offline qualifiers but most likely will get spot to Survivor through KeSPA ranking (assuming Jaedong reaches top8) because he is 2nd ranked in Hwaseung OZ
Still 1 sunk for Luxury. Hwasin pushes with 2 medics and rines. This looks to be over. Firebat enterse the battle. Sunken goes down. Nat hatch going down for Luxury. Hwasin has this. Reinfocements coming. Mutas out!!!
Mutalisks still harassing and being annoying. Hwasin still very far ahead though. Large mnm force moves out. Lots of mutalisks out now. They nearly get flanked by rines but barely escape
hwasin in both games really shows how to carry on your advantage. In his game vs hiya securing the other main and defending it. Against luxury waiting till he gets vessels/irradiate and expoing. No hasty decisions really calm.
Now, damn, I need to say it but go Bisu ! Lift me up in the liquibet rank higher and higher ! Although I'm Bisu anti-fan, I still voted for him, so don't let me down.

that was actually a pretty smart build from lux imho, byz3 is such a hard map to beat terran on after early game, if he had put up another sunkn this could have been a very different game. As a hwasin fan I was a little disappointed, I know he won, but it was pretty easy to see his m&m micro was far from red sniper worthy.

Can you elaborate more on this?
made free pull probes and deviate from his tech path.
bisu's dt's didn't do enough damage. don't understand why you'd want to dt on a map like carthage. free definitely has this unless bisu does some crazy harass shit.

no, maybe you havent noticed but bisu's core and tech was like a hole minute faster than free's. Bisu's opening was great, he screwed a bit afterwords but he clearly showed better strategic play if not else
What's great about Bisu's "cheeses" is that it gives him the chance to win the game or putting him not too far behind otherwise. So he failed proxy gates, failed DT, and yes he was behind and Free fucked up, but has any of these cheeses succeded Bisu would have been in a greater advantage Free was.

It's not uncommon to be ahead in tech when you go behind in bases. As a matter of fact, that's pretty much what you always do. Bisu played predictably into Free's build and the only reason he won after the DTs was the impressive storm drops and Free's own incompetence in defending his third.

Pretty sure that's the case for all cheeses, not just when Bisu does it.

free
Free allowed Bisu to expo to a 3rd at the same time as him despite his army and econ advantage. That allowed Bisu to come back into the game.
Edit: +above post
But you must consider the map distance, free couldnt attack even if he had 4 more goons or smth. I mean wtf, its not like free killed his own nexus, storm his units or smth? Bisu had faster tech, faster upgrades and abused map distance thats all

His games vs jaehoon n free shows that his 2 gate dt forge expo isn't really an all in cheese. He planted the expo and canons before the dts even popped and realised free went obs
and yes he lost his expo and free had a 2nd BUT: 1 base with 30 probes isnt really very far behind 2 bases with 16 probes

If he will not use different cheese strats, other games will predict only normal play from him. And this will be his disadvantage. Remember, every great player used cheese. From boxer to flash and JD. So is bisu.

Bisu engages jangbi's army. lots of storms. bisu decimates lots of jangbi's forces. 1 reaer in shuttle dies for jangbi. Bisu claims the high ground. Jangbi forced to retretat

Actually, its for ease of defence, if he can defend his min only he can defend his 3rd, and once he secures that he can proceed to take the 5th.
Epic reaver micro from jangbi, never seen anything like it before, shame if only their openings were mirrored.
Oh well serves Jangbi right for making this dumb group and not putting stork in, if this was operation kill Bisu. Too bad for Bisu, he has to play fantasy could be a very short MSL run this year.

lol both the finalists in last season's MSL out on the same night. Now lux has nothing but Proleague. I hope he performs well especially when Khan just semi-gave away a ticket to the playoffs.
Bisu didn't show much micro in the Jangbi game but only because he took his early lead with the quicker expo and never surrendered it. He gradually built on his advantage, leaving only one chance for Jangbi back into the game that Jangbi was too scared to take. It was very strategically, if not technically, impressive.
btw I totally love bisu's opening in the game vs free, although it didnt work out perfectly. It was brilliant, he gained significant advantage, I just question his choice to tech to templars instead of double gate robo and take comfortably his natural. Some said the proxy failed, but check out where Bisu put the buildings, free was supposed to see this coming and to react just like he did, Bisu didnt even bother hiding the pylon somewhere.
That's ridiculous. Whoever makes it to the finals beat out all the competition to get there. Sure, sometimes the players cheese or get easy groups or whatever, but just because your favorite/the best player isn't in there doesn't inherently diminish the quality of a finals. It is the play displayed that counts and only that.
That said, HiyA vs Hwasin was extremely entertaining. Worth a watch for anyone who skipped it because the players aren't superstars or just because they think TvT is boring (though it is long).

I'm saying that there are others things to a final that makes it great besides gameplay. You're disagreeing. I'm tempted to insult you.
when you say it like that it makes a lot more sense lol
If Bisu manages to defeat fantasy, I don't see how anyone else can stop him knowing that vT is his worst match-up and it's against a guy who knows his playing style very well. GL Bisu and hope you do well both here in the MSL and the OSL.
