San's play was pigheaded and poorly-practiced. He had no answers for a very logical counter from Check. In using a build that placed a premium on building placement, San got nearly everything wrong. In fact, it's hard to find a single thing San did right in any aspect of the game. Total, utter humiliation.

Having watched the game live, I was skeptical that words alone could articulate the extent of failure that was SanZenith ro32. Although I must say, this review almost does it.

Zenio vs mvp definitely one of, if not the, best starcraft 2 series of games yet. Be sure to watch it even if you play protoss!

Check vs Zenith battle reports and player grades are hilarious.

Good write-up and nice read as usually.

I think this has already been settled. Foxer got several hundred more votes than Fauxer and he mentioned the name Foxer in his Ro16 interview (which apparently never got properly translated).

Faux is pronounced "FO" so it would be a little weird to call him FO-er. Although I would have to agree that FauxeR looks way cooler but sounds way weirder. We all now have named our first progamer

Man I would give "IMmvp" a much higher rating than B+, I mean the level of marine control he showed in game 1 and 2 were simpy amazing and was the first that was able to cost efectively take out banelings with marines....it was only in game 3 that he was a bit unprepared for the massive amounts of drops that I think he should get less than an A+ for his performance

so many bad games, just shows how inexperienced players are and how many skill levels there are in this game.

Awesome write-up

I am actually looking for Idra to do quite well in this tournament. His Creep spread is crazy and extremely powerful, especially now that roaches have gotten the range boosts (they are rockets on creep imo).

Glad to see Boxer making it as well, his tank dropship play looks just as good as starcraft 1.
