I don't agree, there is tons of things you can do to get huge advantages that are really risky. PvP seems to be all about risks atm

I feel myself rooting for Byun, which feels like some high crime if you look at his opponent. He looked really impressive when streaming a few weeks ago, getting one account to GM#1 and then switching just for shits and giggles, getting a master account into GM. I know ladder isn't indicative of everything, but he is one of the ladder monsters of the korean server. Even MKP said "GhostKing is better than me," which is pretty unbelievable (unless he's staking that on TvT alone). You could also tell how humble/passionate he was in the team league recently, so I'm really pulling for this guy.

Hahaha, poor Keen.

But yeah, looking forward to Byun's GSL return! Hoping he's doing much better, he's still a bit hot and luke-warm in team leagues. Puppy fighting!

Also, hoping FXO players win tonight. Gumiho and Lucky are cool dudes, and Tree. Well Tree I don't know much of, but Brown hasn't impressed me really so either way =/

How can Heads win when (Wiki)TAiLS isn't in the game?

I'm disappointed not to learn about players I haven't heard about so I know something about them going into the matches, but happy to learn that it's not just me who's clueless sometimes!

I'm predicting NaDa to fall to Code B unless he shows us a level of play that we haven't seen from him since he started SC2.

The only thing more disappointing than Brown's rapid fall from glory is the fact that this match just barely managed to miss 4/20 by a few days, robbing us of various Tree jokes.

That line was golden Good job on the preview guys!

while i agree that nada steps up his game for code a, i frankly dont see him beating byun who seems to have been thoroughly practicing during his "time off." id honestly be suprised if byun doesnt make it into code s next season (and this coming from someone who wasnt a fan of his before the coca incident).

The drop didn't lose the game, being out on the map and getting himself basetraded when at an overwhelming advantage did =p

Also Bomber owned most humiliating game before that anyway! *cough* vs Lucky on Dual Sight in the GSTL *cough*


giving away that much supply influenced the basetrade greatly

Nah, I think he had that game ezpz if he didn't send his army round the top of the map for a scenic walk while his base was getting wrecked. Good write up in general though.

And you'd be wrong. ZvZ is far less coinflippy than PvP, and actually has its own proper metagame now. The reason PvP is a coinflip matchup is a series of styles in the midgame that all more or less counter each other, leading to big upsets during the tech picking stage. Meanwhile, in ZvZ, you can hold more or less anything with an FE or 14/14 expand into roaches and transition into the playstyle you want.

There's a lot of build order win scenarios in PvP. There's almost none in ZvZ (excluding early pool vs 15h, and even that can be held in a good scenario).

Every ZvZ I have watched recently has been a build order win.
