Byun is not the Robin to MarineKing's Batman. If he continues winning, you will have to start calling MarineKing the Bumblebee to Byun's OptimusPrime.

This. Also a PvP finals would be awesome.

No, no - wait till next season for Naniwa to become the next Protoss GSL Code S champion. For now, I'm rooting for either DRG or Byun (but maybe I'll always be happy to see MC win )

I don't know how Fionn can write such a comprehensive, acute, and well thought out preview that hypes up Seed and Byun and how waxangel can somehow de-hype the matchup of MC and DRG and even go as far as to say, "well DRG is atleast as good as Nerchio and Stephano".

The second preview was piss poor, it was short, and didn't come even near the point. MC lost at Homestory Cup and NASL, yes admist the most grueling schedule thats ever been attempted in SC2, he flew from the Taeja Ro8 match directly to Canada for NASL without any rest and crushed Puma 3-0, proving he had ben practicing almost extensively PvT lately. MC has been focusing on GSL this season, and he practiced almost solely PvT games playing Ryung, MKP, and Tajea in all his matchups, its no wonder his PvZ ability slid. The question is can the two days preparation back in Korea allow him to get back to form in PvZ? That would be a much better story line than "foreigners are catching up, these two aren't as good anymore, oh well, i'll go w/ DRG.

Seriously, after reading that preview you'd think that Seed and Byun are a lot more hyped/decorated players than MC and DRG because of how poor the second preview was.



There are 2 ways to give feedback.

1) The asshole way. This method not only makes you look like the bad guy, but also makes the recipient less prone to actually make changes. This is what you used.

2) The nice way. This method is more commonly known as constructive criticism and is widely renown because it not only sends off a positive vibe, but also entices the recipient to actually improve them self.

Because MC is a total nerd baller Obama-Toss!!

That said, DRG is DRG. You mess with DRG, you gotta better be bringing out the BIG GUNS!

My prediction is that MC vs DRG is the 'real' finals this season and which ever of those 2 take their match wins this season GSL. And even if Byun / Seed beat the winner in the finals everyone will be sitting here thinking that the loser of this match would have beaten them and they got lucky in the outcome of this match.

Swap the semi-finals into ANY OTHER CONFIGURATION and I would call MC DRG finals without hesitation.

Stephano won against MC only 1 time and he suddenly became the best ZvP in the world? -_-"


no, he's been winning for the past 6 months and zerg all around the world (including korea) are learning from his plays for zvp.

he's changed the metagame twice in zvp and once for zvt.

so no.

Great article!

In the section about seed it reads, "As the series went on, Symbol started to crumble and Symbol's confidence continued to grow with each minute." Second one should be Seed!

I have to agree, although I would have phrased it a little less inflammatory. Your point is correct though. This isn't the first time Waxangel extrapolates foreign results to an unjustified degree but taking it to the point of talking down DRG vs MC of all people is pretty extreme.

Stephano is not better than DRG. If you put DRG vs MC on the NASL map pool DRG 4-0's him. Hell he still might 3-0 him tonight. MC has not looked at that absolute top tier in PvZ lately.

Have you guys ever considered that MC played poorly against Nerchio and Stephano cause he didn't want to show his new PvZs builds ?

^Best quote right there


IMO...

MKP = Batman
Maru = Robin
Byun = Catwoman

Because Catwoman has the same potential as Batman but is independent while you can see early MKP style in Maru.

Polt = Nightwing

Because he was MKPs first sidekick who left because he became good enough to stand alone.

I hope Byun and MC advance.
