My guess : Fenix is gonna win the whole thing
His plays are so agressive while maintaining a crazy macro.
I'm astonished by his skill. I never thought he was that good at SC2, but that kinda normal, because he was such a SC1 great player.

I completely agree. I think day9 has such a large following (well-deserved) that anyone who takes attention away from him will be viewed negatively. Not too sure about gunrun yet, but tbh he's not that bad (have hurt much worse from some online tournaments).



The problem is also that Day9 is so dominant in the casting that it's hard for a co-caster to get two coherent sentences in before he gets interrupted. He is trying to be play-by-play-buy and color-commentating-guy at the same time. He needs to let his co-caster just take care of the superobvious stuff. But he just likes to talk a bit too much


I think if he had someone to match his energy we could be on to something amazing. I listen to the Korean casters sometimes and it's as if they've got two higher energy Korean Day9s.

You're not wrong though, if Day had a designated role things would feel a little smoother. Dude's pretty capable of handling it on his own, but just one person talking lacks a little flavor.

With how popular drop play is in tvt right now i cant understand why both players don't get a sensor tower after starport....would pay for itself.

btw qxc breaking my heart right now =[

Agreed. Maybe because some people seem to think Sensor Towers are "noob" or something.

Don't Koreans cast with 3 people? From what I read from interviews they also have very well defined roles as far as who talks about what. If you'd have two day9's, it would be total chaos I think

Fenix reminds me of MorroW, he plays aggressive while maintaining a very strong macro and economy. I am betting we will see alot more macro oriented play from T's in the future... especially now that players are starting to figure out how to beat the "cute" terran plays.

I love the way the fist pump is parallel with the GG shout from me and day9, sickkkness.

Does anybody else feel that there just isnt any emotion from newyork? Players in Cologne, were so pumped before and after every game as you can see when Hasuobs took a game from Dimaga. Feels extremely relaxed and just a standard online tournament, this is the intel extreme masters tournament for the US, this is meant to be a huge tournament!

It's not about Gunrun cocasting with Day9. Gunrun has always been a terrible caster. He's just plain bad. Always. Not really his fault though. Just the fault of whoever decided to hire him for an event like this.

Totally agreed, he pars with HDstarcraft now for worst professional caster imo.
But he's probably a nice guy ^^

Chill and Day[9] is the best combo. This was proven in TSL2. Having said that, Gunrun isn't too bad and definitely isn't sucking so much people need to complain about it.

Then Terran players will have to step up their mechanics. Stop always thinking in terms of balance.

Yeah, cause they're not showing any players or interviews or anything. They should do that. All we see is the games and the casters.

Hard to tell since they refuse to show us anything but the game and the commentators. I haven't seen a single player or the crowd yet.

Fenix did play well, but IMO he was only able to secure such clear victories because qxc didn't really play that well. Was really rooting for qxc, but honestly it seems like he haven't had time to practice (he's in college right? Maybe coursework is taking too much time). I don't expect Fenix to win vs a great player like Cauthonluck.
