If that's true, then I'm wrong. I was close to 100% certain that the timing of that shuttle should have contained a reaver, but I guess I was confused by the 14nexus build instead of a standard BO. In that case, it was really smart, but still, skyhigh's defence was very good.

I hope they make another map change before the ro8, because Best vs. Skyhigh would probably be pretty onesided (only because the maps though, I'd say they're about even in all other regards).

Yes. Best, the BadAssToss. Effort showed he's a pretty strong player, but I really want to see Best win the whole thing. If flash gets knocked out by someone else then I think it's definitely possible, but I don't see Best being able to defeat Flash.

[B]I think the poor map choices are the reason why I always enjoy the GOMTV tournaments much less compared to the other leagues.


The GOOD map choices is the reason i like GOMtv more then OSL and MSL. ALOT of fun games! Who cares if they are inbalanced. Neo Requiem is fucking awsome!

The maps are terrible. If you wanna have fun games on imbalanced maps, go ahead - but include imba maps favoring both players - one favoring toss, second favoring terran and the third with good general balance. THAT could be interesting - with which strategy will the players come for their worse map? But then again, I guess we would see cheese after cheese.

But I can't enjoy tournament when one player has to fight uphill battle from the start just because he happend to be terran (protoss/zerg). Call me idealistic but I think this is against fairplay...

And I enjoy the tournament which gives all races equal chances and where better player wins because of his skills...

The map pool is insane. Medusa in TvP hell and same goes for Neo Requiem. It is hard to call on the last one but the previous version also favoured protoss... I can only hope that in ro8 the map pool will be more balanced because otherwise we will have another PvP semis...

Man, maps like Katrina are what makes Starcraft fuckin good, its what separates the good, the very good, and the fuckin gosu's.

Flash, anyone?

I dont think that Flash can stand bo5 with Best. Both players 9-1 in their last tvp pvt.Best is favorite here.

Neo Requiem: PvT: 31-9 (77.5%)
Medusa: PvT: 14-4 (77.8%)
Chupung Ryeong 1+2 PvT: 19-11 (63.3%)

Oh wait, you said the maps are GOOD and imbalanced. I take it you like PvPvP....
