i hope hongun doesnt lose a game in the semifinals and finals and wins it all in a dominating fashion (1 star out of 5 games? we can only hope), all the people who couldn't beat him in 1 game out of 20 talking down on him in this thread and then the smug and vaguely snide tone of the article as well is just ridiculous, who cares if it's written up for free it's the kind of immature style that the community will eventually grow out of hopefully

Shouldn't you be watching the GSL to save the dogs they keep as pets?

Regarding a ZvZ finals... I am not looking forward to it. :/

Really only TvT is any interesting to watch, even if it can drag out a little.

4-gate in PvP is so strong and makes for some really predictable games, while the Zerg matchup is decided by who gets the most drones at the right time or something. In PvP it can atleast look like the one with the best micro wins, while there are basically no signs beyond winning a ZvZ who is best at it (Atleast not for me, a casual player).

Yes he is, because its true

It is most often used as a livesdtock dog, raised for its meat and not commonly kept as a pet.

Awful write-up, can one of the better posters please clean this mess up? This guy sounds like a whiny little kid, dogging everyone like they're awful when they're in the top 8 of the gsl.

I was so sad MC lost
I'm mad at Hongun now.
I hope Nestea stomps his face and Byun beats Losira because i would rather see a TvZ finals.
Puppie man Byun better show us some good games if he gets there tho ;p

Totally relevant!!



Anyways back to the finals, although it is a ZvZ I really hope that Nestea and Losira can put up some epic macro games with stuff we haven't seen before.

Didnt read everything but you were tottaly biased towards Bomber.
When you have a important job like yours, you should be neutral. You almost said Byun rided his race in a freaking mirror match.

It´s not SUPPOSED to be a neutral post. And "important job" was a funny comment bro.


Well, in his place, I would care about the quality of the post.
He didnt, clearly. The writeup on Losira vs Trickster was good, the Bomber vs Byun was awfully bad.
He may not be getting any money from doing it, but were talking about TL community. I think its a important job to keep people posted about what happens in the scene.


It was fine,bro. Stop being butthurt

Haha, the writeup for game one of Bomber vs Byun is priceless and makes a good point.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

HongUn is like the most consistent GSL player ever, and sometimes comes up with tactics that only Boxer or Nal_ra could think about. For an unknown reason people all the time treat him as an underdog, while its so easy to watch some of his games and acknowledge his skills.
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight with you, then you win.

Well how is IM going to re-arrange their seating chart? Losira and Nestea can't still sit next to each other right?

Can't believe this article placed LosirA third best zerg behind DRG and NesTea.
He's easily the second. Don't know why there's so much more hype about DRG than about LosirA.
When you play the game of drones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground. Huge IMLosirA fan.

The ZvT of DRG was justifiably considered better than Losira's before this. The Game Festival tournament finals that DRG played was inspired ZvT. That was against sCfOu, the guy that took NesTea to a game 5 in GSL May, knocked Losira out of GSL May pretty convincingly, and pretty much embarrassed Losira in their GSTL match.

This in addition to being a Team League hero.

Now, I do think that Losira's vP has an edge on DRG's, and I think this match made some headway convincing me that Losira's vT is comparable to DRG's. It wasn't as impressive a 3-0 as I would have liked, but he beat the guy put in front of him, so no complaints.

I actually thought LosirA was better than DRG long before that match. The last time he had a poor showing in ZvT was weeks ago. And the ZvP of LosirA, I always thought, is god-like. Taking out MC at MLG with splendid games.

Obviously there were mistakes made, and sometimes questionnable decisions, but I haven't seen a better ZvP than LosirA'. NesTea's including.
