Was I not paying attention enough because.. to me that looked like him stimming then target firing one stuck immortal then target firing the other immortal who is super slow vs super fast maruaders which takes like 20 apm to do all that.. I see people do that kinda micro all the time on the ladder..

At the same time he was stutter stepping away from probes.

SeleCT is playing so well, especially for having played so many games in a row. Just nonstop playing can be mentally exhausting, but hes pulling it off so far.

Never seen SeleCT play before, damn. He is soo good. Crazy stamina to play so much and keep his play crisp. Was he this good in BW?

He didn't play BW, he was a Dawn of war player. That's how sick this guy is.

Well SeleCT won two WCGs before in Dawn of War, TWO WCGs in RTS, how many players won two WCGs in BW? 2?

I wonder if Huk's the one to come up with a good counter to Selects MM(&M) play... it's looking quite sick so far =) On the other hand, the way Idra beat Huk earlyer doesnt give me much hope of Huk beating him now... still, fingers crossed =)

God, I'm watching this for like 8 hours, and it seems like there are at least 2 more hours coming. I'm so tired and I'm not even playing. Props for Select for winning so many games.

Me too. At least this coverage seems a bit better than the past WCG Grand Finals event. I have to give MLG props for at least providing separate streams for all the different games and being fairly good about keeping the action going.

This tournament is way too rushed, Idra is going to have a huge advantage over Select in the final, if he gets that far. Even Huk has such a huge advantage.

I would also like to note that I believe that Day9 + Wheat is the best commenter duo in starcraft 2 currently. Tasteless + Artosis is up there, but Day9 + Wheat just complement each other so well.

Thank you much Day and Wheat for providing such sick good commentary.

Agreed.

Wheat doesn't have the analysis of Day9, but the way he so appropriately puts in questions that are actually relevant to what's going on screen to be answered by Day9 is just too suave.

Dawn of war is very micro intensive (more than War3 even).

Note the theme?!

If the first and last letter of your name are both capitalized, you too can be one of the best players in the world.

Nice. I can't wait to win a GSL

.

At the very least it will be very interesting to see the next match. 3 TvP's in a row, with alternating P players. Should be a pretty good barometer.

A dual WCG champion at DoW I believe. The guy is legit.

Is SelecT qualified in GSL2? He can totally rock some natives if he were to be unleashed.

Well to put it into perspective.. Imagine if it was flipped, 2 thors (tech units) + 10 marines (tier 1 range) vs 5 zealots and 5 stalkers.. The thors are going to be doing insane damage, and being able to survive more than 1 volley of shots.. While when you have immortals or collosus vs marauders, they go down in 1 volley.. with less damage output.

Not entirely valid. Thors are a lot beefier than immortals, and are the comparison to Colossi by cost.

Select just had most stuff than Kiwikaki, and hit at a great timing when the Colossus wasn't out. That, and Kiwi only having 2 FFs (which didn't split anything) meant he could be taken apart.
