@Jinro : was it that way already in SC1? I thought the headphones were noise-cancelling so that players couldn't hear anything. Would suck if it hindered them to have some music playing, I know I'd hate it - I only want the ingame sounds to have maximum focus.

[Edit] Oh and Ret : I had no idea you were this good, I was very impressed by your games. Jinro : I've seen a few replays from you before you left for Korea, and I have to say, I had the feeling you improved SO much as well. Hope you guys keep going that way

I guess you could say that everyone is realizing how imbalanced the map pool is favored against Zerg. Idra even said it's terribly against them. I can't wait to see what Ret is going to pull out on these maps.

I think Jinro will take it. Moon's play wasn't very impressive today.
And it's really great that you can practice with each other. GL guys.

Maybe Gom purposely set tough Zerg maps to avoid 3 Zerg winners in a row.

Ro8. I don't know if it's possible to get S with just a single Ro16 now.

Oh and yeah, about the maps - I have to say, I hate most of the current maps. Ok I am a zerg player, but I'm pretty bad so it has nothing to do with my own experience, I'm mostly interested in watching top level plays, and with such small maps that TEND to favor all-in rushes to a certain extent, it just makes it that less enjoyable.

I sincerely do believe one of the biggest reasons why BW is still that much better at the moment is because the maps are just absolutely lightyears ahead of SC2 maps (which is obviously normal due to the age of both games). Once maps get bigger and better in SC2, it's gonna be so awesome.

Sorry for a noob question, but i didn't quite understand the bit about the maps. Do the pro players want better quality maps and then keep a high quality map pool that rarely changes or do they just want the map pool to continually change because they get boring and predictable? Thx for answering.

I'd say neither. A pool of high quality maps that changes every year or so is what Ret is suggesting, for example.

Not a SC2 fan but as a TLer it's my duty to support all TLAF-Liquid players.

Ret and Jinro, you guys worked hard for this, congratz!

fantastic, well done to these 2 champs.

GSL just gets better and better although they're so right about the maps. They need a regular change of maps like BW has now.
