Completely agree, they can mitigate a lot of those problem by, as you suggested, making the maps a lot larger for 1v1. The way so many of the maps are set up now, it encourages cheese. Go Jinro! | ||

Rain has made similar excuses since the beginning of the season, especially after bunker-rushing NexGenius out and the Koreans did not buy this time and exploded. Rain had to apologize to the viewers and Nestea's fans for "what he did" after the series. I don't know if that was necessary but it certainly doesn't seem "baller" to me. The response to the Nestea v. Rain series there seemed much harsher there than here in TL. The Korean commentators couldn't find words to sugar-coat his plays during the broadcasting (trying to avoid the C-word) and the viewers (especially those who made a trip to watch the series in person) got so mad and they slammed the team TSL page that the TSL coach (manager?) also made an apology and even the team IM (which Nestea belongs to) manager had to help out to put out the fire. I am not sure how this will affect the remaining games of the season, lol. I think it's stupid because nes always goes for that stupid hatch first build, which this allin is basically made for. Obviously you're going to abuse his vulnerable early game with it. It's impossible to get into late game because it becomes broken in tvz if z goes hatch first and drones to hell and beyond. At least he attempted some macro games. it's nes' inability to adapt to the push by changing his BO, something fruit dealer is capable of. I'm sure the koreans know this, they're just bitter because it's not fun to watch and their x-champion is out. | ||

Pool first is only safer against really really really early aggression like 6 pool. After that your limitation is larva and creep- and one hatch doesn't provide enough of either.

I fear heavily for a Rain v Choya finals...(pretty much any other combo I'd be ok with...even settling for an MC v HongUn PvP finals would be better). | ||

FD is my favorite player and i still feel that hes better than most everyone. However he didn't play the game, to the strengths of being the better player today. He played quite gimmicky, and unstable. After winning on steps, he should have been able to crush Hongun with steady play. Really hope that FD realizes this and corrects this for future tournaments. The only good thing to come from the Zergs losing today is i can now focus rooting for Jinro. However i'm not rooting for Jinro cause of some foreigner BS, i'm rooting for him because hes actually very good. Would like for him to set a trend of Terran's actually playing macro games. | ||

His apologizing for it, and the korean fans reaction is just silly, didn't boxer win with multiple bunker rushes vs yellow once upon a time, Jaedongs 4 pool comes to mind. This isn't the ladder where I just play for fun, and cheese is kind of annoying to me because I sometimes suck at stopping it, and makes the game very short. This is the GSL where there is literally about 85x more money than I've ever held in my hand. 85,000 dollars or whatever the current transaction is life changing and I completely support Rain's choices to cheese. Also, go Jinro!, I hope you play Rain in the finals and crush him to the ground, I don't like cheesers. | ||

Everyone saying that the "better" players got beat due to all-ins need to remind themselves that the best players should be flexible and adapt and it's their own fault if they frequently lose to all-ins. Also, Hong-Un's play wasn't all-in at all during the series so I'm not sure why so many people are saying this. It seemed like FD did more all-ins than HongUn did, and I love FD. I was cheering for both zergs to win the previous GSL tournaments but I'm thrilled to see at least one Protoss in the semis. | ||
