If he didn't build the depot, he will have to kill most of his army to make room for the viking. Either way, he cannot win.

Awww, the Flounder and the Gorilla. <3
I probably wouldn't have minded MC getting all emotional when he lost to Jinro if he hadn't gloated so much when he won before.
Glad to see he's rectifying that. I hope he won't let success go straight to his head again in the future.
Gratz to Jinro! I want a Terran champ this GSL.

Sounds like GOMtv is going to make some changes to their current setup. Check my post in the previous page.

Amazing series, never thought I would be excited by cheese 
Congrats Jinro, you win this season now you bastard

Bunkers are 3 by 3.

It was really frustrating watching the Jinro Idra series. I really don't like Idra for his sportsmanship etc, but I was pulling for him given how many terrans there are in both Code A and Code S semi's. 7/8 Semi-finalists are terran. Not saying there's imbalance, but sooo much TvT, it gets boring to watch it. Hopefully Nestea continues to push through.

Games were good, Idra was perhaps too confident after game 1, but I'm sure we'll see him play even better in the next GSL!

Wow Idra being such a loud anti-cheese supporter ... and he lost ... for shame.

Man people are focusing too much on the negatives of the Jinro/Idra matches.
Yes it is unfortunate that Idra had to get eliminated for Jinro to advance, but don't let this distract you from the fact that Jinro made it to the ro4 *again*! We should be supporting him and wishing him the best of luck!
I'm a fan of any foreigner baller enough to qualify for the GSL say nothing about make code S and frankly anyone who is a fan of esports should try to have the same mind set. The better Jinro does the more coverage there will be outside of Korea.

Yes, I saw that but I still wonder if that's a solution because of the "vibration" thingie, meaning a very loud sound will probably make a room or a cabin or one's own body vibrate slightly so you would feel it even with the best soundproof headset. Or is this just a myth (can't pretend I know much about the subject) ?

I wanted IdrA to win but congrats to Jinro. There are way to many Terran players left through. I would rather not watch mostly Mirror matchups. I hope Nestea at least makes it to the finals so we can see another race. 7/8 T is meh.

Actually the point I'm making is that next time Idra complains about cheese ... ppl will just point to this game and say, "well look, even though you hate cheese you do it yourself".
Idra was an extremist in terms of "hating cheese" ... so it's surprising that he'd do it ... even for "strategic purposes".

greg looks like he doesn't enjoy playing the game.

I liked MC coming to jinro and high-five him to make up for his bm after jinro beat him.

This is like in basketball, I used to get knocked about all over the court. My coach told me a story about an NBA player who was having the same thing happen, his coach told him to throw an elbow just once, in a televised game, and you will never get pushed around again. The player did it (cant remember who it was anymore lol) and never got knocked around again.
I threw an elbow during a semi-final of a big tourney, with all the other teams in our league watching, and I never had to do it again.... they were so scared to come near me.
Idra showed, albeit not very well, that he can cheese when the need arises, now players will have that fear in the back of the head when they play him, before today they didn't

Does no one listen to Artosis? He said If the games got to Jungle Basin he would be 6 pooling regardless he talked to Artosis about it prior to the game and told him of his idea. Frankly it doesn't surprise me Idra is never going to win on Jungle Basin

damnit I really hope + Show Spoiler + gets knocked out soon.
see if blizzard actually paid attention to things, I would appreciate his efforst to bring to light to certain issues that should be addressed, but since they dont I just hate watching him play.
