referencing done right

The Ro8 went pretty much exactly as expected on all fronts. The semis will be harder to predict, but it just seems so hard to picture Rain losing to, well, anyone right now so I must see him as the favourite for this, As for who he'll play the finals against... I honestly have no idea, Life vs TaeJa is dead even on paper, and both've been looking really god damn scary leading up to this. In the end I decided to LB Life and predict him winning 3-2, but honestly anything can happen.

Regardless, I don't see anyone beating Rain this season.

Why wouldn't you watch MVP vs Life? It'd just be a higher level version of Taeja vs Life.

Seriously, every final is acceptable.

I hope Life beats Taeja, I really don't like Taeja and I want some ST victory in the GSL. <3 Plus, Royal Road, yadayadayada. ;-D

Really though, surprised Life dismantled MKP like that, granted MKP is an emotional one. Well, glad to see rising Zerg talent, there really just doesn't seem like theres a surplus of good Zerg players in KR. :-P

Ehh I can slightly understand not wanting to watch a PvZ. Even if that would pretty much be the best possible one in existence. PvZ is probably the most boring matchup in the game. I've even liked PvP more lately.

Depending on what Mvp prepares and how well he executes it I feel it will be really tough for the terrans to beat Rain.

At this moment the only person I would put money on to beat Rain would be Life.

No, he wouldn't. He doesn't have Rain's mechanics, all MKP has is micro.


Meh
His mechanics are pretty good.
The thing that make MKP so inconsistent right now is his decision making.

And god damnit, Life is just scary.
That guy is 15yo and he broke the mentality of a player we're seeing since the Open Championship GSLs like it's nothing

proof that as protoss all you need is mechanics?

MKP's mechanics are solid, but rain definitely has better nerves, which imo leads to better decision making.

MKP is emotional, worst thing about getting emotional is you start making emotional decisions based on your feelings and not calculating.

Are you really surprised that Life broke the mentality of MKP? MKP really needs to just toughen up a little bit, I feel like that 10 pool vs 2 rax game was essentially a bo loss but it completely cracked him. Him and Byun both have issues with staying calm, they need polt back on Prime lol.

Mvp vs Taeja finals would be preferable, but I'd also love to see an Mvp vs Life finals just to see how Mvp handles Life styles. Would be really exciting.

Either way, I'm so excited for the Barcraft in Sydney!

at least no Mvp vs MKP finals. Looks like Finals will actually be good this time around.

Don't compare Stephano to Korean zergs. Sure he 'might' be 'almost' as good but until he goes to Korea and proves it he's not even in the top 10

Great write up shame to see Leenock Fall but I guess Taeja is just on too much of a hot streak.

I don't think he's the last at all. MC is still doing well.

I feel everyone is writing off Taeja as a viable contender against Rain since he lost once in the ro16. He's Taeja goddammit, give him some credit guys.
