Like I don't even know if Rainbow can change it up this late, because Cool will be able to take one of the last 4 games, no matter if Rainbow switches it up. 2-0 was a bad situation to put yourself in and now it's 3-0.... I don't even think switching it up at this point, will change the outcome of this series.

Cool is amazing for sure. But ITR is not playing as his usual level. If he played like he did during all the GSL, even if Cool played the same it would have been close games.

Now, he doesn't play really well today so Cool's play is even more glorified.

Have you never played against a weaker opponent and pulled off magnificient tricks and find yourself a progamer (before losing to a 6pool on the ladder) ? Here I feel it's the same.

fruitdealer is always one or two steps ahead of rainbow in those games... both painful and amazing to watch.

what could rainbow do different in this game? he saw cool getting the gold exp and tried to put it down asap, abusing the map cliff. Cool just defended it amazingly well

I think they need to do a DNA check on fruitdealer. Might be jaedong smurfing for him, trolling the world.

Yes, apparently it's overcrowded. Tastosis said there are people even behind their commentator's booth.

And that's without any supporting performance act (famous k-pop bands singing at the event etc) - which is the norm for finals in the SC1 leagues. The people came only for SC2.

If there was a betting company making the odds for Hopes next BO in game 4:

1. Medivac drop harrass from one base
2. Anything else

Option one would be 1.10 in odds.

Refresh my memory, but wasn't it Cool that made that huge splash about only winning 10% of his practice matches? Was he just throwing that # out a a joke, was that based on one day, or what?

Because right now that win% needs another 0.

Does anyone know if players allowed to watch replays during their breaks in GSL?

I don't get why so many people are ragging on HopeTorture. He's TRYING to punish the FE with a tank drop. He saw the fast Roach and Lair going up so probably decided to forego a Hellion harass. As for missing the nydus, he was busy microing his viking and dropship. If anything, it was brilliant on Cool's part to deal with/ignore the dropship and just place a nydus worm instead.

Punish it with hellions?

Marauders?

Expand to a guarded 3rd to counter?

It seems like to ITR, Zerg FE == Tank drop on ridge. 2/3 games, 2/2 where high ground exists.

Punish differently.

Seems my prediction of Hopetorture 4-0 is not going to be very correct.. His play was a little bit sloppy, but Fruitdealer played extremely well too.

They are doing epic camera play but it really looks like 1-2k at most unless I'm totally missing something.

Tasteless called it a gymnasium

The gymnasium has seating for 7k people I believe.. All the camera pans have made it look pretty fully. I am guessing about 4k people are attending.

The deadliest and most flavorful fruit shall be used against HopeTorture. All of Terran Imba people need to understand that the game is very little about the race, compared to the contest of skill between the two players. FruitDealer all the way.

Oh yeah guys ITR is just playing bad, that's why Fruidealer rolled every other terran too, they were ALL playing bad.

Get the fuck over yourselves, seriously.

COOL FIGHTING!

I'm not denying Fruitseller has played stellar the entire tournament. However, this last game had nothing to do with him playing brilliantly at all, but just with a massive fuckup from ITR. I
