Looking forward to tonight's games. Big fan of both Symbol and Life so if either advances I'll be pleased. | ||

No scabs allowed. Not rated. Nice article, and I liked this touch. Will it be seen in future reports I wonder? | ||

I thought of Rain as lucky in his WCS & Ro32 games. Now I think of him as the rightful champion of this GSL! Too bad Polt and DRG got eliminated... Too many awesome players in the Ro16, we used to only have a couple stars ^^ | ||

Anyhow, if Symbol manages to beat the prince of darkness, He should be able to beat the next player too. Seed should then have no problem advancing. The craziest thing would be Seed losing a rematch against Symbol. That probably won't happen. | ||

Well, at least not as perfect as he usually plays. He made a few goofy errors, but they were all minor and he did manage to take the games handily. Looking forward to tonight's games. Big fan of both Symbol and Life so if either advances I'll be pleased. Rain beat Taeja because he was un-prepared for Rain's storm drops/zealot warp ins, and he refused to put up bunkers or turrets, one flaw of Taeja but all he has to do next time is just be prepared against this for every Protoss he faces and he'll be fine. | ||

Meh, I was just so impressed with the couple of weeks where Symbol was so awesome, I basically became a little school girl that just saw Justin Bieber. Too bad it was just a couple of weeks until his performances dropped a little again. Let's see what happens. Seed and Symbol for me, please. | ||

It's one of these situations where if you say one player played badly, people will go "Nah you just dislike the other player, give him credit where credit is due", but I too think TaeJa played badly. I might be wrong, but I feel like usually when skill is as even as it is in Code S, with a few outliers, then a lot of it comes down to condition on a specific day or period. Consistency over time is what makes you one of the incredible outliers, otherwise you will have ups and downs (No pun intended). For that reason, I personally would never dare to think a person is going to take a tournament based on the performance he had in a couple of individual Bo3 series, and that isn't directed at Rain, that's what I always think in these two group rounds. :p | ||

Better practice habits, more disciplined, etc. Can't wait till the next GSL when most of the KeSPA pros would have caught up. | ||
