Such as all the shift clicking and big control groups. If these brood war players are playing at this high of a level I can only imagine the likes of Jaedong and Flash. The ceiling is far from being reached! Apparently it's easier to reach, but the game hasn't been out for that long ofcourse. Atleast, the word is that that is true for terran and protoss, while the ceiling for zerg is much higher.. no comment on balance, just that zerg is harder to play and master. | ||

Unless top 20 in the world reach the skill ceiling next year, then the GSL champion will only depend on luck and psychology. | ||

They are not even close. GSL champion depends on who has mastered their race the best currently. Btw wtf was up with ensnare today? Vs a FE player isn't it a rule that you must have a build to KILL them (3 or 4 rax) or mirror the FE? Wtf was up with the 111 build? It worked one game because of close positions, but seriously why not keep exposing his weakness or if you think you are the better player FE better than he does? | ||

He stated in the interview that he didn't practice much against that buid. Maybe the extent of not practicing was so far that he really didn't know what to do against it. | ||

Maybe the extent of not practicing was so far that he really didn't know what to do against it. Interesting I did not see his interview, but that does not explain his lack of evolution in the games. In a 1v1 mirroring is always a good solution if you think you can play better than your opponent. Also you have to think he has opened 3 or 4 rax before. With that it would have either given him an easy win and after that continued to give him easy wins or if Rainbow switched to 3 rax as well it would then the winner would be the better player not the person who chose the better build order. | ||

In his answer to the 2nd question Hope meant to say that he and Fruit both enjoy the game which is the reason he thinks Fruit is different(from other zerg players he knows). I thought that he meant that was the difference btw him and Fruit. My apologies when someone gives long answers.. translate every 5 sentences.. way easier, even pros make it like that.. btw you're doing fine imo ... | ||

game 2: nice macro from HopeTortue and double-pronged medivac drop. game 3: HopeTorture goes for a fast expo for the third straight time and it worked again, he was ahead the entire game. Ensnare tried a thor rush but marauders took care of it pretty easily even with Ensnare's scvs repairing it. game 4: HopeTorture does the fast expo again and Ensnare doesn't have an answer for it. HopeTorture convincingly showed superior techniques in this series. Can't wait for the finals this saturday, should be so awesome! | ||

Translation between Korean and English is not easy as there is not only the language barrier but the cultural one as well. Keep up the good work. | ||

He will see on saturday" Love it  I'm hoping that Fruit Dealer comes out ahead though. For the Swarm! | ||
