Somehow I think European gamers are much more entertaining than Korean. But well, it's b/c of money I understand.

Nestea should've won. I think Nestea defense of the 2 rax push today was abysmal. His decision of when to attack was horrible, especially the last game. I suppose the nerves got to him... Don't like the way Rain been playing, but he pulled it off, and deserved his wins.
As for FD, i think he lost the mind battle against Hongun. He would've lost the first game too had he not spotted the two proxy stargates (he was going roach warren I believe) . Well done by Hongun.

If you have 87k US dollars or 65k Euro on the line if you get the first place, do you really want to take the chance of losing in order to make the match more entertaining, or do you want to do whatever it takes to get to the first place?

If you go into a tournament with the mentality like this you will never become a legend, plus you are making a bad name for yourself too. I would rather see a player that shows skill than a player that wins a tournament by cheesing and all in's. SlayerS_BoxeR made more money without winning a GSL, through sponsorship. This is my humble opinion.

Go Jinro!!! Jinroll them

I love that people are just now realizing that the game of SC2 features extremely subpar defensive options compared to the strength of attacking/timing pushes.

SCV/Marine rushing has nothing to do with Cheese Rushing because it is a scouted, calculated maneuver with a high probability of success. It also gives the Terran the absolute best option to make it to the mid-late game in a strong position, because there is no safer way for him to match a Zerg in a macro sense. Terrans Marine rush because the game favors that style of play and has since release.

This isn't a trend that is going to fix itself, even with racial rebalancing. We're just going to see new flavors of time attacks spring up separated by short phases of "racial dominance" where one relatively overpowered race (like current Zerg) tends to win in an equilibrium (as all top players currently admit that ZvX is zerg-favored in a macro game).

The fact of the matter is that each of the major periods of the game have been dominated by timing attacks, minus the extremely small window the GSL2 where Zerg had received a number of major buffs compared to Terran and other races were still in the process of figuring out the ideal way to handle this and when to strike with X number of forces.

Without stronger defensive options and better entrenches positions (and benefits to entrenching), we are likely to see more and more timing attacks as players get better and better at exposing holes in BOs.

Proxy stargate makes for entertaining games?

That's not how you apply the godforsaken "let me see you do better" argument but okay, I hope you feel like you burned him good.

It should've been Nestea that won, he clearly was the better player. His play was much more solid whereas Rain's builds were more like "I hope this works."

As for Fruitdealer vs HongUn, HongUn played like Rain did, only Fruitdealer played even worse. Worst day of the GSL.

TSL pretty much ruined Fruitdealer.

Its so funny how you contradict yourself. Do you read what you wrote before you hit the post button.
"Nestea should've won." Followed directly by "I think Nestea defence of the 2 rax push today was abysmal." And later by "Rain...but he pulled it off, and deserves his wins."

LOL

I hope next GSL season will get better because this all-in cheesy play is getting old

lol. What i meant was if Nestea was playing with his full potential and confidence, I don't see how Rain's allin could beat him. But Nestea was not playing well. Still, still takes effort from Rain to pull it off, that's what I meant. I hope there's no more contradiction. :D
