Very well written and BackHo is <3
One thing I will beg of you is to spell paid correctly. That mistake, repeatedly made by people who really should know better, makes me cry.

Thanks for the writeup, it's always fun to see other people's views on the outcome. I was wondering, as a rabid Stork fanboy, did anyone else think he just totally threw that game on purpose?? I agree with Plexa's analysis on where the game turned, but I've seen MUCH sharper play out of Stork. It felt like he wasn't putting his full effort into the game. And the fact that the match was one that he chose for himself by picking Jangbi into his group, it just seemed really suspicious to me. Added on to the fact Stork was literally grinning from ear to ear after his loss, goes back to the break room, and is pointing at monitors, smiling and laughing w/ January seems quite odd considering the context of the game. His long, tragic history of #2... I'd think he was a lot more fired up about the OSL.

wtf ur disrespecting ggplay to much! "not in the same league as sea" ??? WTF? Did u watch Daum OSL ? I am sorry but if anything, sea is not in the same league as GGPlay. Those ZvTs he showed were FAR FAR better than any tvz series sea has ever shown in an individual league. In individual leagues GGPlay has shown his potential and his capability, something I unfortunately cannot say about Sea.

Third generation?

First generation I will assume to be Reach/Nal_rA/Kingdom

Second generation Anytime/Pusan/Stork

Third generation Free/Much/Bisu

I think...

I havent found anything amazing in the Bisu's game. He just pressured early and Mind lost a lot of mining time (btw why didnt he wall, if he cant defend from such a typical attack? ok, the positions were cross and I havent noticed if he scouted the attack or not, but he definitely didnt look like a progamer, when he lost the tank). Then Bisu did a nice, but not important DT drop (like 3 scv kills +depot). Ok, for some weird reason Mind couldnt even kill the DT with mines... but I dont think such a DT drop would work vs Iloveoov for example.
And then Mind struggled to secure the center! He was flying around with an empty shuttle/shuttle with DTs instead of utilizing it to its full potential with zealots. Had Mind pushed smarter )(with more mines and more spread tanks), he would beat Bisu really badly and secured the center. Mind definitely had impressive macro and nice multitasking, but his micro wasnt impressive at all - with lots of zealots dying on mines. At some point it was clear that he had the game won, but it looked as if he could actually lose the center..
For me Bisu is much overhyped
I have returned

Ok how is voting against july the safe bet? He is a veteran with experience as champion, he is 3-0 in osl, he beat one of the strongest if not the strongest zvzs in the world just a few days ago and he has the support of his team, rumble is just some unknown who got lucky on a buildorder and he really has no place in this group even with his new skt practice.
OMG you nasty gurl

I agree that mind lost a lot of timing on a relatively simple attack, but not killing dts with mines was not really through his own fault. Simply, his mechanics could not deal with mining the dts, and at the same time putting up his macro. He deemed one supply depot insignificant. (For the record, i doubt iloveoov would have dealt with it much better)
I think bisu player well in the midgame, especially by countering, to make mind move around, and utilizing toss mobility.

Of course at this stage in the tournament, excitement is relatively low - and for good reason. The Razer TSL is entering the Semifinals this week and the lineup is amazing. You would have to be insane or in prison to miss these games so clear some space in your schedule this weekend! Anyway, because the TSL is so interesting right now, I'll forgive you for missing some for the games this upcoming week

Are (P)free, (P)Much, and (P)Bisu really considered the Protoss kings of the third generation? I've read a few posts that consistently detail (P)Stork, (P)Anytime, and (P)Pusan as the generation following (P)rA, (P)Reach, and (P)Kingdom, but never anything about a third generation... xO?

fuck you best.

but the whole speed shuttle vs terran on that map happens all the time, and seems like toss always ends up ahead because speed shuttles are just so maneuverable, and the island is essentially an island map when you can kill assimilators like that.

MM vs speed shuttle reaver = . fuck that. even wraiths can't catch up to speed shuttles.



Don't hate on Best. A lesser toss would have been scared to seal himself in like that.

I stated earlier in the season in response to the final edit that this was STX's year that I didn't think they were quite ready for a breakout. The addition of July certainly changes things a bit... Calm has gotten a lot better a lot faster than I thought he would, and July's presence can only help. It also gives Kal and Hwasin another good practice partner on the team. And if July is comfortable enough, he might actually be (gasp) consistent, and July is pretty freaking scary in top form.

I'm still slightly concerned about their depth... they don't have a solid 2v2 beyond the aforementioned players... then again, no one in contention really seems to (except Khan), and it's not like their 2v2s have been abysmal. I'd be more worried about their depth, but with Bisu being traded to SKT1 no one really stands out as being absolutely stacked like MBC/CJ were last season. Even with the addition of GGPlay, I feel like CJ is substantially weaker than they were as they can't rely on Savior, Much is in a funk, and Iris hasn't been playing that well either.

The additional playoff slots also helps STX a lot. They don't have to worry so much about qualifying, they're practically a shoe in to get at least 6th place. After that anything can happen...

But I still think they're going to fall short somewhere along the line. Still, it'd be awesome if July helped lead STX to a title... :D
