Looking at the slow-mo, he really could have split his banelings a little better.

Yeah, it's definitely gonna take a bit before they catch up in their understanding of the game. Effort is impressive for a first showing, though.

just in case you people haven't noticed: Proleague protosses have a 100% winrate on sc2 so far ;-)
including a scandalous win against JD and an arguably equally scandalous one against EffOrt

well the games where kinda basic... hope they get to show better games in the future. Basically effort exploited the larvae mechanic and killed an unsuspecting flash that had no tanks to focus fire his banelings and give shelter to his marines... basically Flash had his unit comp all wrong to fight back Effort.

With Lizzy happened the other way around , countered the roach ling of Effort with Immo/stalker/sentry and FF , Effort did not made good use of his infestors and died.

those were basic unit composition wins , its like they dont really know how to stop things and i didnt see lots of scouting going on... its like theyre playing blind.

On the good side loved the production value here , it really makes the show different for the viewer with all those player reaction cams.

GG SPL ill keep watching till you deliver awesome games ^^

I kinda assumed that was one of the points for the format. sc2 fans should be able to tell what a sc2 game should look like. I have to say those games arent there yet but should be interesting to see SPL and then see a "normal sc2 tournament.
