Zenio did lose to IdrA yesterday
Although I can't say if Zenio was playing his best or anything. Would be exciting to see them play again.
And thanks for the song name guys^^

Zenio needs to have the same pleasure Genius had beating Idra.

Anytime I've seen them play on ladder, Idra has won. I'm sure I've missed a lot of their games but still.

IdrA has played a lot of ZvZ since GSL 2, he is either better than zenio at it or at least on the same level by now.

Am I the only one still struggling to not hate the idea of Bo1 group play?

I actually like it. Brings back memories of the MSL. It's different and nice to have code A bo3 classic and code S MSL style

Ho and sick OP, nice work man.

Anyway today for the first time I had to use a VLC url to watch the stream. In firefox it's like my javascript is not working, when I click LIVE it just does nothing, even when I click login it does nothing, first time that happens.
I tried in chrome, login and LIVE buttons work, but when GOM player launches it makes an error (an error I had never seen, not the usual 000071 or 000051 error
"This file not exist
title" )

The whole format is overly complicated, i don't get why they dont just have a linear seeded tourney -.-

I like it. It gives a much more diverse set of match-ups for the day rather than just 2 Bo3's.

I love how well ZvT turned out in Sc2, it is atleast as good spectator wise as BW. The only problem spectator wise in SC2 is any MU involving Protoss, since the Colsus makes the game stale when it reach mid game. The splash damage units needs to be harder to master like the reaver etc, to create wow moments.

Even the mirrors TvT and atleast ZvZ now seem to surpass the BW mirrors, and that is great news. Not sure about TvT though, BW TvT could be great fun, but I feel SC2 TvT is heading the right way, and with Boxer TvTing tomorrow everything could happen.

TvT is definitely the best mirror if played at really high levels, but can be painful to watch if the players have a super defensive style or are just not good enough in that matchup. Hyperdub vs Boxer will be definitely fun.

MC playing PvT and PvZ makes it fun to watch. The only stale matchup in the game IMO would be PvP out of the 6 diff matches due to colossi wars. The only way they could fix it is by giving P a good counter to them... maybe increase Void ray damage vs Massive type even more (colossi, ultralisk, bc, thor, brood)?

This format creates a large number of safety nets, keeps top players in, but also gives new players a chance to make it up there.

alot of the complaints during gsl 1 - 3 were that anyone can get in, and that people don't deserve to be there

mvp's current state validates 2 things:

sc2's streamlined mechanics allows more apm for micro.
sc1's modern a-teamers have crazy effective training methods and game sense.

as we see more and more modern sc1 players transition, both of these things will become more true. mvp is an a-teamer in sc1 with both mechanical skills as well as good game sense through pro training. only a player like that can explore the potential of gameplay to the max and showcase how great this game can be.

mvp's tvp was better than his vz in sc1. he just needs to analyze the constantly evolving protoss strategic system to show better results. the training method he learned as a sc1 pro will surely help him in this. this is not to say mc is an inferior player at all. he showed potential in sc1 but probably thought that he would have a better future in sc2. this is a kid who beat best in a pvp bo3 after all.

for all of kespa's faults, the progamer training system of their proteams did do pretty amazing work. the level of play for sc1 has constantly improved, and it's interesting to see this improvement validated in sc2 of all things.
