My match predictions are basically the same, the ZvZ could go either way but MMA is going to go 2-0 and Gumiho is going to win his TvZs and get through 2nd. | ||

How could he have worked out so quickly that the queen laying the tumour was the crux of the build? To extrapolate his past experiences of proxy hatch games into a GSL game on the fly and realise that he needs to surround the queen almost seems too amazing to be true. If it is though... wow that is incredible crisis management.

Yeah it really is incredible how he had such a perfect response in that situation, even if he had seen it before it's still godly crisis management. | ||

MMA simply plays TvZ on an absurd level, where it's doubtful if any Zerg player can beat him in a lengthy series DRG gave him a run :D | ||

MC probably figured out that Leenock would not have had enough minerals to fully take advantage of an inject (Leenock needed to get rid of the pylon in his nat) or that an inject would not have made it in time, so there was no real use for a queen other than to make a tumor. It probably became apparent to MC that the hatch wasn't to cause damage because there was no spine crawler and not a lot of lings. Amazing he figured it out. | ||

First, let's go through this group from MMA's perspective. He's the last GSL champion, so I think you guys can forgive this preview being a little single player-centric. Wasn't  MMA the champion when the finals were at Blizzcon and Jjakji the actual champion?Well, I hope MMA advance. Ro16 will be so sick. | ||

Someone clarify that for me please? =/ It's not about the GSL at Blizzcon but how much Blizzard Cup "counts" as a GSL (hey, the money was still big), whereas Jjakji is the defending code S GSL champion. Polt, sadly for him, seemed to suffer an ignominious fate after the Super Tournament. GSL July began, and it was all about defending champion Nestea, plus that guy who won the ST ^_^ By the way, MC's timing and instinct are really impressive, and micro, as usual. He could probably see the hatchery dancing and the queen making, which probably provided him direction for what to do. | ||
