So I am the only one who thought Stork was fucked in the first game? He did lose his reaver and shuttle, and he did not do as much damage as some of you think. A handful of drones, nothing that couldn't be easily replaced, and yellows 3rd base just popped and he was ready to contain the toss to his one base. He would have lost just as badly as in the second game.

For some reason I had also thought yellow was at an advantage against stork the first game.

I didn't think Pusan was bad. He had a large army floating around the center controlling the map, and only really lost it that one battle at Jju's nat (it was atleast even prior to that point). I'd like to think Jju is just a giant lump of awesomeness, and THAT'S why Pusan lost.

I know you're a Pusan fan Sushi but I can't let up on him. Based on what I've seen, Pusan has been playing like crap against everyone that isn't a Terran for pretty much forever, and coming back from his 3rd seed win from the last OSL he can't even beat Terrans now.

Yes, Jju is a monster ZvP and he played very well (which I mentioned if you noticed

) but Pusan is playing terribly lately and I won't make excuses for him.

I'm very impressed with Stork, in contrast. The kid is winning games and even when he loses he looks really good. Solid play and well executed starategies. I expect he'll do well in this tournament.

Pffft, I'm not even that big a Pusan fan (I am a Jju fan though, so your statement would make sense if you changed the name).
The only monstrous games we've seen from him in OSL were his games against Casy, probably not the best TvPer out there. He cheesed his way past Midas into a seed. Yes, his PvT has looked monstrous at times. Yes, it is disappointing to see him play merely OK PvZ after claiming that it's his best MU, and right after some monstrous PvT wins. Now, I don't even know what I'm trying to say

Go Jju

I really gotta disagree on your Pusan assesment Sushi. Jju is great, but Pusan is playing like crap. I hate his lack of HT control. It's really frustrating to watch.

Mat, I'm going to use Smorries half full ones...he did put the effort in after all.

Ummm.... I guess it was just my Jju bias, making the game seem much closer than it really was (getting worried when Pusan was not totally raped within 2 minutes)

Very very nice Mana! I knew you'd make something of yourself some day.

BTW, the oov vs Yellow[name] game.... I was cracking up just thinking to myself, oov is the cockiest bastard in the world.

That game was one thing, and one thing only. Oov having a total lack of respect for his opponent.

Uber fast expo, playing minimalist without scouting, scouting late anyways, and his scout never even bothered going up the ramp, he was searching for an assumed fast expo to the min-only nat. Total, total disdain for his opponent. And that's why I love oov. The cockiest motherfucker you will ever see.

i remember some program that hack creator dt made.. it could let u play a game from a point in a replay by saving the game and loading it.. couldnt they use that to replay by starting from where yellow disc'd?

It's technically possible, but there are so many psychological factors involved in a game that it doesn't really work. This same debate was had at length during the Testie/Breakdown KOTH disc fiasco.

My thoughts exactly. Oov is the David Lee Roth of StarCraft.
