I actually have to agree. Players like Zenio, Fruit, IdrA, and Nestea are leagues above.

Byun looking very impressive. July seems to be playing really sloppily. Did anyone give him the memo that banelings aren't so great on mech?

Byun looks very solid, showed some nice builds and I really liked the little barracks simcity he had going on outside the front door of his main.

Those banelings drops where absolutely terrible :'( . Why would you drop banelings on siege tanks and thors ?No creep spread either and clumping his mutas against thors. I really don't get it :'(.

Well July did as well as he could. You cant just target marines with banelings drops because the thors will shoot the ovies down while youre trying to catch the marines so you cant target them. The drops july did were the only way to drop in that situation. Tanks will kill banes if they arent in ovies. zerglings are useless against that army composition other than counter attacks. Magic box wont matter against that many thors. Its just an army composition that a lot of terrans are beginning to use against zerg and no one has an answer. at least yet.

I still see a lot of people saying he should have dropped them on the marines. It's better to use banelings on thors then have them die in ovies chasing stimmed marines.

Seriously, I'm not even a fourth of the player that July is and I have better Muta control w/ Magic box.

He had 30+ mutas that he just ran into Thor volleys and Marines. Ugh.

confirmed: July does not know about the magic box.

Also confirmed: July does not know how to use banelings. Repeatedly wasting them on thors and tanks when marines are all over.

The OL drops were slightly useless as well, they would have been much more worthwhile being dropped on mineral lines.

You are wrong.

With the games we saw right there, he sure doesn't. But he has played much better at other times.

At least all terran would be something new. 3 terran and a zerg has been every single GSL tournament besides season 3.

John's looking handsome. And tall, too. Is he sitting on a stool, or is he really that much bigger than Byun and Artosis?

bad protoss turns into a solid, overgall good terran
looks really like some races suit persons better than others
he made the right decision, because his terran is SO much better than his shaby protoss was

That was a really interesting defensive play with the barracks walls covering the tanks. It seemed like it might have been a bit too passive though; without Julyzerg's missteps in muta v Thor and banelings v heavy mech it was looking pretty close even on Jungle.
