The masslings in game 2 didn't even win either. I hope his performance was a reflection of nerves and just not a product of a low-econ, micro-happy, no-game-sense, bad-macro style. | ||

i thought he did VERY well in game 2 and almost reached the threshhold of being able to take down bisu in early AND around mid game but bisu is just a monster and created a huge army during all that harassment. game 3 was over when he lost his scouting OL | ||

I did watch some of the games you talked about, especially the 3 hatchery, mass lings into mutalisk, and he caught my eye, I believe this is the first time I noticed him. I did feel that he was an unconventional zerg as you mentioned, which gives him the advantage in cases where scouting is not practical by his opponent. But the bottom line is, he has a very unorthadox style if you will. Notice, that if he doesn't win with his strategy he won't. Furthermore, I noticed that his control is actually very poor. Being a zerg player, zergling micro is not that hard, simply surround and destroy. Your ability to micromanage zerglings is more based on your opponent's placement and understanding of your strategy. His mutalisk is average, and his decision making skills are poor to say the least. He does not have the ability, or chooses not to play the standard zerg style. After a while, people will recognize him and counter-act him accordingly. Boxer is the perfect example, he likes to cheeze, and if you'll notice, many smart players scout earlier because of this against him. In addition, the mistakes he made against Bisu were inexcusable and downright pathetic. If you can't do the basics, that puts your ability into question. I have never watched him 'dominate' a game like Savior can do, he always involves risk and uncertainty. His macromanagement is terrible. One thing I do agree, he is the most aggressive zerg to the point of stupidity I have ever seen. And the only thing that goes through his mind is KILL KILL KILL. And his play portrays that. The only good that comes out of him is Savior can watch the wacky shit he does and maybe add to his own playstyles. The 1 hatch play was genius. [Sam] is just stupid, and sloppy to the point where it makes the other player seem sloppy. | ||

Jaedong's weakness is his decision making skills, which recently have seemed to improve at a lot. But I always had faith in his potential because of his excellent micro. Arguably, he overfocuses on micro and if he used more of his apm on macro his game improves. There's actually a trait I like very much that Savior and Bisu portrays that not many others portray. When they get an advantage, they don't keep spamming zerglings or w/e in a quick attempt to end it, but they rather, macro up and play a longer game, with this advantage rather then try to end it quickly and hence their greater consistency. Any comments on Magma though? He's been around for a while but only noticed him now. Good example is with his game against Boxer. Excellent micro and decision making. | ||

Personally, I think Kwanro is still a really dope player. Personally, to me, it looked more like he choked, not suffered from his bad skills. If you noticed, his macro was off, micro was panicked, econ was low... he played very skittish. He made some careless mistakes for a pro to make, like the overlord loss to the cannon in game 3. In moments like that alone I am convinced that it was an instance of choking and not lack of skill. I'm holding out to see him in the future. Everybody should get more than one chance, especially after brutally raping players like Light in legit tournaments. | ||

yea i think he choked too =( he made too many mistakes for it to be "because he is a non-skilled player" than "paniced". I still think he's a very good player with potential. Maybe it's just because he's up against Bisu and he just shat his pants (I would) and played horribly. Of course that is another thing too, to control your nerves. However I think he'll have plenty of opportunities in the future to train that =D | ||
