I doubt anyone is capable of delivering the exact same focus in these games as the focus you have in the final of one of the biggest tournaments, so it just depends on how you would define "serious". I guarantee they are both trying to win and they are both in practiced shape as well, so imo these games still deliver near their highest quality of play. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + I can't believe Sen's comeback! He was so far behind yet still managed to come back with a sizable lead over TLO. These players are both so good. | ||

For those who haven't seen the Kaspersky Cup finals, I suggest you find the VODs as soon as humanly possible.  | ||

TLO really threw the game away. SHould have stopped producing hellions some time in midgame and instead getting like 8-10 mauders and it would have been gg. Hellions + vikings are really awful at finishing the game. | ||

And some people will play better without pressure. Also, winning an important series can give you momentum and confidence going into your next event. | ||

I think TLO is playing better than he did in the Altitude Invitational, honestly, where he went 1-5. I think he's getting a lot better at handling the psychological aspects of tournament gaming. GGs all around. | ||

Right? 5-4 today. 7-4 in their overall encounters (3-1 in the EU vs. Asia match, 4-3 in the PLU Kaspersky Cup). TLO performed very well, showing that he's not daunted by his recent tournament losses and that he's capable of adapting to Sen's style. Sen is, well, Sen - the world class Zerg who consistently beat the best of the EU (ie White-Ra, TLO, Demuslim), and who, personally, would be winning a lot more tournaments if not for his vulnerability in ZvZ. | ||

Though hellions kill so many drones and zerglings, I'm still not sure it is a good strategy. TLO‘s ground forces are just Hellions. It seems that sen is very passive under TLO's harass，but gains and losses balance each other.Hellions can't give sen a substantive hit. In my opinion,Sen is using a delaying tactic. But mauders is not a good choice. They will be besieged by zerglings easily. | ||

I recognize and really like the fact that Asia and Europe tend to produce different playstyles, and I love that. In that way, they do each have their own special twist. I was just hoping this would help a lot of people realize that the dominance Korea had in BW will not be present in SC2. Seems to me that Asia is already superior and the game hasn't even been released yet. Asia is 9-4 in this series, I'd say that's quite dominant. | ||
