EPTI honestly hope he was jetlagged. We need boxer to make the Ro8 or better in GSL for SC2 to pick up momentum in korea.

Just one siege up lost him the game.... I'm expecting him to get to the semis or the finals of GSL. He's really really improved since those early replays of him playing TLO and Idra. | ||

Maybe BoxeR could of sent 1 marine to scout every base since he killed fruits natural? Ofc fruit would try to expand again. I really don't wanna get into a balance argument, but lategame zerg macro is just superior to both T and Z. The macro gets seriously out of control. And on the flipside Zerg early game is really fragile. It's imbalanced in both directions, and I don't even know if it's possible to change that. Zerg macro just works like that, every new expo is an entire base's worth of production. Maybe it's not inherently a bad thing that Zerg needs to be contained aggressively earlier on. Asymmetry is what makes Starcraft, imo. | ||

Fruitdealer looks pretty much unstoppable at this point though. GSL is going to be really interesting if these two meet up again. | ||

I am not saying something is IMBA, someone compared the situation from a few months ago when Therran was imba and Terran players were telling zergs to l2p...arr .read the post :p Was funny that's all. | ||

But its too easy for Zerg to expands now, Terran have nothing to stop them early on, and thats need some fixing. Terran players need to play a perfect game in order to win while Zerg players just need to play good and can get away with a fews mistake in the process. If you think comparing boxer and fruitdealer to all koreans is any kind of right, you clearly haven't been watching GSL for the past week. Boxer/fruitdealer games were awesome, fun to watch and clearly between two very very skilled professional players, not something I can say about 75% of the games in ro64 GSL, which is composed of nearly all Koreans. | ||
