You underestimate Iris.


Iris vs go.go for an example of why Iris' decision making isn't enough to take Effort.

vods are up. Check gomtv.net.

Iris has a shot against Effort as they are team-mates and within team battles are usualy more balanced. But still, Effort is a heavy favourite against Iris, no doubt.

this series was really weird..

flash pulled an amazing comeback in game 2. I dont think july particularly blew it that game, and flash just played great.

Game 3 was a different story. July fucked up so hard i can't even believe it.

not to mention his complete lack of pressure on Flash's expos was astounding. Its so fucking easy to put lurkers behind flash's 3rd on outsider.. he even had drop. I dont understand!!


just saw the games.

fully agree for game 3. get 2 lurks, drop researched. what does july do, drops a defiler/3 ultralisks or so in the main. so lol
and his lack of defence at his 6 oclock expo which was running for like 4 minutes and dies to 4 marines was just so bad..


in game 2 july just sucked ultrahardcore. it was so painful to watch how a zerg with drop researched cant get a defiler down the map to support his 15 ultralisks or so. lol. i was sitting here like "wtf.. WTF MAN WTF" god
i also dont understand why july didnt take the mid/5th gas at bottom right. god this game was so weird

well, i gota say flashs bio is really really good. but julys zvt just sucks. i mean i always thought he plays non standard cause he is tired of doing so in televised games. but now i think he does it cause he has no chance to win against ppl like flash. his multitasking just sucks

Well the last time we underestimated Iris was going into Shinhan 3 OSL semi-finals. I even remember people laughing that Iris said he is 50/50 with sAviOr in practice. After that series nobody was laughing and we all gained a great respect for Iris' skills. You can't write this guy off ever

People thinking Effort is autowin vs Flash better rewatch or watch for the first time Effort vs Mind in this tourney, if not for cross map on a map as imba as gods garden in game 1, effort wont even be anywhere near this stage of the tourney. People are underestimating Flash's TvZ, late game no Terran in the world comes anywhere close to touching him and only Jaedong/Effort can give him a run for his money in a management game, the games will be really close for sure, Flash's "Slump" is only his timings being really weird with his new build and him getting owned by timing attacks in the early-midgame, he seemed to fix some of that in this series vs July. Flash vs Effort will be just epic, and I favour Flash to win this as he figured how to play Heartbreak properly to avenge his previous loss. Outsider and Gods Garden are just pure garbage for TvZ though :/

Edit: Also Flash's build was probably his answer to allow him to play TvZ SK terran style on Gods Garden without straight up dying to mutaharass, and he probably transitioned it to other maps too seeing how effective the midgame is before dying instantly to mutas. Cant wait to see Flash's late game vs a top class zerg is.

unfortunetly July was pretty much obliderated by Flash ... i was hoping for some 3-1 or even 3-2 long epic series T_T + i wanted July to win cause he is oldschool and i love watching oldschool players . They usually have much more style then new gamers , but just USUALLY ...

Im still so surpirsed that July went 3hatch in games 2 and 3. Like, IMO it just takes balls for someone with his poor lategame to go 3hatch vs the best lategame Terran on earth. I really wanted to see him do a lot of aggressive builds but we didnt

Whats really surprising is that he wasnt very aggressive despite Kwanro being able to beat flash using aggressive tactics last week. I really wanted to see some 2hatch lurker or hydralurker/defiler late game
