Bisu: go.go must beat Hwasin to keep Bisu's OSL hopes alive. Jaedong: Worst-case, will have to fight a 3-way tiebreaker against two Zergs. One of whom he is going to play in a Bo3 at GOM on Sunday. BTW, is it me or would StarCraft do better if these tournaments were spread out a little? I mean this week, each of these guys will have had to: 1: Play in Proleague games. 2: Prepare for their GOM games (except Bisu). 3: Prepare for their OSL Bo1 game. 4: Prepare for the first part of their MSL Bo3 game. That's a lot to ask of people. Actually, Hwasin has to beat go.go in order for Bisu to not get eliminated. If Hwasin wins, there is a 3-way tiebreaker between Bisu, go.go, and Hwasin. It really sucks as a fan, when your player's fate isn't in their own hands. COME HWASIN, GO.GO CALLED YOU INSURANCE, BEAT HIS ASS. | ||

To be fair, he really did not harass *at all*. He still didn't play BAD just not GREAT. Also, I think Dark Archons are a poor counter to queens, especially if a map has cliffs. Some sairs are usually better I think.. And get reavers, since you can't brood those. | ||

Shouldn't DAs be the counter to queens, since you can just feedback them, and feedback has very long range? | ||

Well, in my limited experience vs queens, trying to make DAs to counter Queens is a lost cause - half the time you won't even kill them with your feedback because they didn't have enough mana. Plus, with parasite/overlords, it's just so easy for them to see where you are anyway. They are great vs defilers however, as defilers are slower, can always be killed when they have enough mana for a spell, cost a ton, etc. Switching to sair/dt/reaver and playing defensively means you get a force that can sort of take care of itself on the defence, while he'll have his hands full saving his queens from your sairs AND controlling his army. Of course, with progamer multitask and the fact that zero's army had a good percentage of hydras, he'd probably still handle it pretty well  But I think my point about switching to a more turtlish gameplan is still valid, and reavers are always good anyway! | ||

I hope Bisu can still qualify to Ro8, but Zero played well, so props to him. | ||

I'm a big Zero fan but his problem is his damn consistency. He often plays as good as Effort and Jaedong and then decides to COMPLETELY SUCK for awhile for some god awful reason. ZerO is probably the most underrated Zerg out there but until he starts to consistently win like someone of his skill damn well should that will continue. | ||
