I only have one problem with bunker rushes. The fact that they can salvage for full return of minerals is just stupid. If they were, to get punished for not pulling it off, I wouldn't mind. That being said gogo jinro^^

I think the point is, double bunker going up puts you way far behind while using 1 drone to stop it only puts you a little behind (however many minerals the drone would mine for that time). Patrolling one extra drone is not a guaranteed loss at all, you make it out to be some sort of hugely game altering thing.

Plus Jinro was hiding a second SCV anyway, so if IdrA was patrolling a drone that second non mining SCV would have been a complete waste for Jinro thus making them even. Patrolling drone is totally worth it.

A good night for GSL I thought, keep up the great work Jinro. Looking forward to seeing IdrA back next season also.

He interviews well also

Damn, it must blow hard for Idra, all the macro and lategame capibilities and 3 games end little more than 20 minutes. The 6 pool game is a REALLY interesting turn of events, let's just say that. Anyways jinro has my support, he better not fucking lose in the next round ^^

Two bunker ramp on close meta positions, marine makes it to bunker by happenstance. if they played five worthwhile games there might be reason to claim "best foreigner". But frankly, those two Code A caliber games showed nothing.

This, I was trying to get to that...really disappointed how little the games revealed about the 2 players.

Congrats Jinro!
Hopefully next season the foreigners won't be matched against each other until at least the semi-finals.

Look at check's game vs jinro - Jinro had a great opener and then he @#$# up and check took advantage of it and later won. Would it be so hard for IDRA to try? While i knew idra's style was to tap out straight away however it was so disappointing game 2, and the series as a whole.

Would you see the most successful esports people such as boxer do such a thing? Cant' say future sponsors of both Idra and gsl would be impressed - they want to see interesting games. Don't get me started on Jinro saying he could hear the korean commentators other then saying what a failure by GOM!

I was so looking forward to the games however fakeboxer/nada match was so much more interesting to watch compared to jinro/idra but overall imo they were average anyway because nada made some bad decisions.

BTW Gratz Jinro - i must admit i was cheering for idra however that has changed!

I won't lie, I was very disappointed in this matchup. It seemed to me that staying up at 3:00 am was not worth seeing terran or zerg cheese. Honestly if i wanted to see how a person would cheese, I could just go ladder. I'm hoping for a more macro game rather than all-in's all the time.
