Anyone notice the Step-micro with not just the Marines but the Seige tanks at the same time? I can't say I've honestly seen that before. That was really interesting.

As for all of the rushes, I don't have a problem with 1 base timing attacks like ST_August's. That one was just brutal, and it came at around 12 minutes in. The stuff on Steppes today, well, it's Steppes and there's a reason it'll be replaced in the tournament, hehe.

Just about to ask that. If anyone knows that'd be awesome.

sheesh a lot o people really piss me off here.. just because it was a 4-gate doesn't mean it was a bad game. it was an exciting exchange from both of them, from legalmind's early attack to MK's counter-attack/contain, there was lots of action. but you people only want to watch masses of armies banging each other on the head so whatever.

You can step micro any ranged units in the game, especially when zealots are running at them

Honestly, this kind of aggression is a play style which fits the koreans. For the rest of the world, they like to "play the game" by turtling and massing up where everything ends in one huge battle, whereas koreans play by more aggressive constant aggression such as 4 gate, 2 rax etc etc

Why do people hate all-ins? If someone all-ins and it fails and he somehow comes back, isn't that nice to watch?

I HAVE NO IDEA HOW WATCHING PEOPLE TURTLE IS EXCITING! THAT'S BORING AND TERRIBLE.
It's like I'm wasting my 10 bucks to watch a 30 minute game of both people sim-citying.

set 5 was a delight to watch, heartily recommended

the rest of the matches were pretty bad, but that was because the skill difference between clide/mk and legal/forever was abysmal. definitely different from tomorrow's group of death

lol tomorrows group of death?
groups of death were FD, zenio, MVP or MC, inca, Nada...

And yes that last game was incredibly full of tension

I'm curious why korean terrans aren't favouring 2 bunkers standard if they're teching. The <10secs you save by not investing 100 minerals isn't going to win you the game, not investing could cost you it though. Zergs and Protoss always seem to invest alot more in defence if they feel threatened to me (spines, sentries or cannons).

My view anyway.

Well, MarineKing didn't fondle the mic like Maka did, so that's an improvement!

How did he hold that? By getting lucky enough for LegalMind to kill himself with his own forcefield.

Rhetorical question, actually. That was a big mistake, but pinning the entire game on that particular play neglects MK's crazy-solid play before that.
