 Max as the similarly named sSKS really is  TesteR), a very strong zerg player who managed to maintain a 70% win ratio right up until the last reset (with 275 wins and 117 losses and a 2247 rating). sSJM had to pull out however so Cool stepped in to take his place.Ace (P) vs Cool (Z) in a best of 7. I think Cool needs no introduction beyond a small update to his ladder stats (pre-reset he had 233 wins, 102 losses and a 2272 rating). Ace is a Chinese protoss player who has made a pretty strong showing in SC2 so far. He dominated the Chinese qualifier for Starswar Reborn and continued to impress during the main event, with his team 3-0 down to the Koreans he went on to take them all out and seal a 4-3 victory. Can he step up again versus today's arguably stronger opponent? Game 1 - Lost Temple Game 2 - Desert Oasis Game 3 - Metalopolis Game 4 - Kulas Ravine Game 5 - Steppes of War Game 6 - Scrap Station Game 7 - Kulas Ravine There are some genuinely great moments in the series so it is well worth watching. Apologies to those who can't watch these by the way, I'm not aware of anywhere else rehosting the vods sadly. | ||

Hey no worries, it just seemed a shame to me that they get next to no coverage as they've been hosting a lot of interesting stuff during the beta so far.

Did you have buffering nonstop through the whole series?  | ||

In other words, I'm confident they would get smashed in a trans server tourny. I about fell asleep in most the games. | ||

Just watched some of the games Tester (top Korean Protoss) played in the recent Gosu Coaching cup (which he won without dropping a map) and he basically just manhandled some of North America's finest. | ||

Perhaps, when the koreans play, to us, it seems like bad strategy, but they've already figured out why that strategy works and how to deal with our "counters". | ||
