But like being a US soccer fan, I'll never give up on them. TLO played a great set, and this is a small chapter to the much bigger risk he took for going to Korea in the first place and shouldering so many of our hopes. I hope he knows what a talent he is, and lets this only motivate him to keep playing ^_^ wp SangHo. TLO in GSL 3! Loner won today <3 | ||

Do you happen to see thor rush every other game on ladder? On the other hand, one out of two toss on ladder will make 4-gate. Not to mention that tlo faked a fe causing sangho to try to expo and delay his robo. 4-gate was just a terrible way to end a great series... That being said, tlo really shouldn't have gone for such a risky strat in game 3. And although the 4-gate was pretty hard to scout since it was hidden, tlo should have anticipated it. | ||

TLO called Sangho's response to thors by saving scan, and Sangho had the sentries ready to stop the bunker repair (if TLO had noticed in time). Just good play | ||

TLO is a good enough player to know that he wins the game with cloak banshees if he can hold off the rush and that he'll lose if he cannot defend a 4 gate. It was completely his fault for misreading / not being able to defend. I also think FruitDealer vs SangHo is a lot better match than TLO vs FruitDealer, since I think TLO/SangHo are both worse than FruitDealer, but PvZ is favored towards Protoss more than ZvT is (when it actually still is what I doubt) favored towards Terran. That's exactly my point. That Sangho played poorly and won anyway because TLO screwed up which is why I'm so dissapointed. 9 out of 10 times in that situation TLO gets his cloak banshees and wins I bet. He knew that pylon was there reacted very poorly. People are making Sangho out to be a beast when he got completely outplayed in game 2 and in ro1 again TLO did something imo that was an awful BO/Army comp. I wasn't impressed with Sangho at all. | ||

Single elimination is more set up for entertainment, every match on the line counts, it's very on the edge, you care more.. unlike double elim where winner's bracket is more of a formality, the real placement edge of your seat matches take place in losers either way, both systems have their positives and negatives | ||

I really hope that by time the real seeded seasons start that gsl gets some real maps. It is so tiring watching the tournament when almost every map is super exploitable by one race or another. If only they keep getting shakuras or metal with no close by ground spawns. Not to suggest that maps aren't exploitable by certain races, but really players just adapt to it and deal with it. I mean Fruitdealer came through despite all the map "imbalance" and race "imbalance" after all. | ||
