ok, I just converted pounds to dollars. 1250 pounds is almost 2k! Holy cow. Wouldn't it be great if haypro and TLO finish 1-2 in whatever order. | ||

This is probably more entertaining, but this also shows how lower the level of other players are compared to Koreans, IMO. Wasn't Ret saying "Europeans cannot take advantage of Zerg's early weakness"? Non-Korean players are extremely weak in terms of cheesing and defending a cheese. They are also fairly weaker when it comes to timing pushes. We see all sorts of weird timing pushes in GSL. So as a fan, I like longer games, but this is, IMO, one of the biggest reasons why we saw 4 Liquid-oGs players saw in top 4 the other day. Ret wouldn't have survived until top 4 in a Korean event due to cheese/timing pushes. they only had to play 1 BO3 to reach top 4. oGsTop won that tournament and he lost to Fenix and Naama at Dreamhack. I wouldn't say they are on a much lower level. Select is also doing pretty good on the Korean ladder, but he lost to TLO and Naniwa in this week. They are better at cheese/all-in, because that's the only thing they seem to do on ladder judging from the streams. | ||

To be honest with you, I do not consider any of the oGsTop, Select etc. can be called as one of the better players in Korea. Most of those we saw are not even S class. And even S class ones are pretty mediocre (like oGsInca) in GSL as a whole. May be non-Koreans are not MUCH lower, but cheese/all-in aside, they are still a bit behind. | ||

Yep, also I think that TLO would have gone very far in GSL S1 if he didn't loose to cheesy chedderdub. Anyone can pull out cheesy play but as we saw the GSLs were not won by the bunch of cheesers and there is much more in SC 2 to be explored - check out Boxer vs Chedderdub | ||

Well that's not fair, TLO did play well in game 1, but to get into that situation he was outplayed early on. | ||

Don't bring that back up again. TLO just barely won game 1 there and got crushed in the second one. On January 09 2011 05:28 neocron wrote: Cant watch the stream! Can u post results of the games? Would be great! Haypro playing SarenS again atm in the LB Seems they are using some sort of extended series rule, so it's 2:1 already in a bo7 (?) edit: Haypro just won, so it's 3:1 now | ||

If yes (i.e. it's supposed to be serious casting), it's quite disappointing. This guy sounds like he's talking to his buddies in a pub. sheekthief from ragequit.tv and he's just a standin as there would have been no cast at all if ragequit didn't do it | ||
