If they were really the highlight of the day, I would really like to hear about whatever they said. | ||

I actualy thought that Testers play was far more disapointing and worse than Choyas today. I realy don't understand what is with all the huge hype around him. But hope we get bether games today. if you have been following him from beta and is a toss user, then you would get it. tester despite of lack of recent successes has shown that he is capable of being top korean toss. kotb pylon + canon blocking idra (did tester pioneer this strat? I remember idra not knowing what to do about this in some interview as if it was never encountered) stops a proxy gate with a 1gate gas first epic displays of forcefields in gsl1 n such. nexgenius and ogsmc both at some point acknowledged that Tester is one of the top protoss as well. gg tester, hope your curse is finally broken. | ||

For Code A we have Loner and Ret, even if those games aren't that good (as in, completely one-sided) both of those players are nice to watch, so at least it will be enjoyable. For Code S I doubt we will see players of IMMVP or 'SlayerS'_BoXeR quality, but we could definetly get a somewhat entertaining games (or you could always go and watch Bisu vs. Stork, but that's a whole different thing). | ||

He needs to shape up. I'm glad he made it through for once, but I'd really like to see him shine. | ||

Because the whole point of 4-gate rush is to have the maximum burst firepower at your opponent's door at the earliest possible time. That's why people have been refining the 4-gate build to date. If it came later then Tester should have been at a better position to hold it, especially since he already had a robotics. It is a very weak to say you were surprised by unexpected attack, since that just means your opponent outplayed you, nothing less. I also expected some epic game between him and Kyrix. But I won't comment on that game because it depress me. Haven't watched the game between him and Rain yet, but not sure if I really want to. Rain did very well against Choya, which was nice, but then again he simply collapsed against Kyrix and there wasn't anything fancy about Kyrix's play, either, just some standard stuff. Really none of the games has been anything remotely memorable so far, maybe except the Boxer's orbital strat and Nestea's muta harrass. Players must be getting better but why are the games are becoming less and less entertaining? | ||

Both Tester and Choya exploited the bad part of his play. Yesterday the protoss players made bad mistakes and i couldnt say they deserved to go through either. We have to accept these players are a much higher level than us. I thought Tester made a mistake v Choya with the robo bay but then in the interview after when he explained that the 4 gate timing was later than normal and that because of that he expected DTs I suddenly understood. Its easy to criticise when we get to see the whole map and want our favourite race to get through. | ||

So far in this season I haven't seen marine/scv all-in yet, and I wonder if the teams had some sort of talk behind the door. Remember these teams all have players of all 3 races and they know that strat can be unbeatable (on certain maps) and simply turn the viewers off. It reminds me that a few years ago in WC3 when it was discovered that Night Elf's trees (buildings) could be abused offensively. Soon enough every game involving Night Elf became a tree-fest, and the viewership suffered immensely. The teams/players kind of agreed upon an unspoken rule that the trees couldn't be used offensively, and that rule lasted until Blizzard fixed it. So I am looking forward to BitByBitPrime v. Moon code A match-up. Will he do it? | ||

Both Tester and Choya exploited the bad part of his play. To be fair, it isn't the numbers, but the content. I see every terran opens with 2 raxes, on every map, every spawn positions, and Zerg becomes scared shitless. I see every toss opens (at least have in mind) with cannons/pylon block. I don't see much chance of Idra, Check, and Leenock in current metagame. Nestea seems to be at least solid against T, but I have seen him playing terrible against Ps quite a few times. | ||

- Genius will MAYBE get through tomorrow, though his group is the most volatile imo. - Anypro is pretty much rubbish (I truly think Artosis forgot his previous GSL play), and the only worse player is SansZenith.... - MC would be a huge upset not to - Inca is a toss up between him and NaDa, since I would except Inca to wipe Sans easily and NaDa to probably lose against MC, it'll be Inca v NaDa for the decision. For Zergs: - Leenock has a decent chance of making it since Rainbow's TvZ has never been shown to be strong in any of the 3 seasons. - IdrA has about a 50/50 chance of making it out since there is NO way Jinro will rush him. - Check of course is the WORST Code S zerg out there, except for Jookto, if Check makes it through...that would only mean Ensnare's play has fallen off the map, because Check is about as good as Anypro here since he has NEVER defeated a strong player, ever. GSL4 isn't going to likely be the great one for race distribution since a lot of Season 1 carry overs (who no longer deserve to be there) need to be purged out first. | ||
