Im really loving these previews, makes following the GSL so much easier and more exciting. Too bad the matches allways are played when im at work so that im only able to catch the finals every season :/

Saw this idea from a player named |||||||||||| (Barcode) in the EU Playhem Daily 3 or 4 months back.

I don't care about that build review. I'll never forgive MC for striking down leenock. T.T

I appreciated the shout out to Catz since he proxy hatches in the main against Protoss frequently. It really does take a lot of resources and effort for a Protoss to shut it down and typically leaves the zerg ahead, especially if you can get a cancel on the hatch after a (now wasted) cannon completes.

MC is a fucking boss, he might have the best crisis management of all of progaming.

This was awesome to read. I always thought MorroW was smart, but damn, he's a genius! I look forward to more player analysis in the future! <3

...Is that the caliber of thinking that professional players have?
I'm pretty sure that 9/10 of the rest of the people playing the game would just say "He's just denying the natural and trying to get some early probe kills." That's just incredible thought processing, really wish we had some more of these!

Does no one seen how You Gi Oh was the first to pull off the hatch in enemy's base as a counter for a FFE? And succesfully too. I'm sure MC knew how to react just because he has seen how You Gi Oh does it.

Wait... so vs the offensive hatch, couldn't mc just throw up double gateways at his nat, pylon block opponent's nat, and auto-win?

You can't just "throw up" 2 gateways while in the middle of forge FE'ing and expect those zealots to be up anytime soon. Leenock's build is meant to be a blind counter to Forge FE.

lol, no. May be 1 or 2 games in tourneys but that doesn't help player at MC's caliber at all. There's a reason MVP is the best player in the world eventhough he plays random on ladder and still beat the shit out of GM right?
Plus I've seen Catz own CombatEx with that already, and I'm a victim of it long time ago.

YES. YES YES YES. Analysis like this is why I started frequenting TL in the first place and why I watch Artosis' stream even though I'm a zerg player. Please do more of these!

@MorroW: I really liked your description of Leenock's style as a player and I'd love to see if you could do a similar run-down of other player styles. It seems like these sort of things are the equivalent of a player's own "natural voice" if you will and an aspiring player could aim for their highest potential if they align their development with it.
