Game 1: He went 3 gate + 1 robo for colossi and 2 stargates for mass phoenix. Terran went MM+Mass vikings + Raven, they both took 3 ewxpansion and were clashing at bottom of Scrap Station, terran slowly adavnced to his side with turrets and poking everytime he could. Terran was sniping stuff with the viking range and would go back to mass turret range, Squirtle became impatient and instead of switching tech just went for the enagement over the turrets Oo. Colossi died so did phoenix so it was MM vs Stalker+Sentry. Game 2: FE from both on Taldarim Altair, terran helion dropped and destroyed lots of probes and Squirtle decided to move out, terran dropped 2 bunkers and vikings killed Colossi. Both of games i believe he was impatient! =( Edit: Wrote problem instead of Probes. And np Telcontar =D | ||

Except for the finals, I don't think teams were sending out their best players in order to save strategies for this Code S tournament... Stinks for MoOnGlade... But Jjun looked quite strong! Also, did rain cheese out his opponent, because I quite like rain in some ways! Ace lost to a zerg not terran. | ||

Also, did rain cheese out his opponent, because I quite like rain in some ways! GSTL wasn't overrated. In Squirtle's case, it might have hurt him, as there was a lot of data to study about him. There's a research/prep component to individual leagues that you don't get in the team leagues. Makes team leagues a lot more exciting and does show off the true skill some of them have. | ||

Tastosis often will both say something only for it go completely opposite. 4. Subjective, has nothing to do with casting ability. 5. Tastosis didn't have synergy at the start.. you build that by working together. her cheerfulness and enthusiasm is good, would you rather have a caster be dry and miserable? So much blind hate, the IRC is unreadable throughout code A games due to all the people makes "Jokes" about her accent, as if its 1, big, 2, clever, 3 1975... not everyone speaks the same, get over it. Look, its not "blind" hate if its substantiated... I don't HATE Kelly as a caster but it should be evident to anyone who has somewhat followed Starcraft 2 that she has ALOT of room for improvement in multiple areas. She mispronounces words like its her job and I can see why alot of people have difficulty understanding her. Personally, I don't have much of a problem because I have many relatives in the SEA region but its perfectly understandable for people to be annoyed with her manner of speech. Furthermore, she just seems to lack alot of understanding of the game and rarely adds meaningful analysis, often times making down right wrong statements. "2 gas so we will probably see a fast expo..." Really? I don't want to hate on her and she definitely brings enthusiasm to the cast but it takes more than that to make a good caster. First and foremost is the ability to articulate and translate your thoughts and analysis to the viewers, somet | ||

I guess they would be more lucky never playing appropriate competition or having a challenge and cakewalking it to the top against bronze players. | ||

STOP "commentating" on every single move and then trying to predict whos gona win which battle etc etc. And please stop using words like "always" and "will" etcet. Its not 100% that a player will do "X" or "Y". Makes you sound so stupid | ||

Predictions are based from more than 1 factor. That was just terrible analysis/deduction based on an irrelevant factor. Just to point out one of the many examples of why people may dislike her casting | ||

I wonder if he watches any games besides GSL. | ||

One!...Two!.......a-Thr----Twenty. It's too bad Yeah did that and made his training partner Nestea look bad in the process, especially given the infamy of the Rain/Nestea thing in GSL3. That said, I am sick of people dogging Rain for all-ins, when he doesn't do it very often since that series, he's not bitbybit.prime. Sad to see Moonglade out, but his terran opponent seemed much better than Rain, just as was the case with Haypro vs Ganzi. What's interesting is that Ganzi is former IM but currently teamless. I don't know the reasons, but it seems IM lost a pretty good Terran. His Terminus game against Haypro, I'm sorry to say, looked about as decisive as IMSeed's games in the GSTL. He looked like an IM player for sure. I'm less surprised now about Junwi's loss to SlayerS_Alicia after J's teamleague performance. I didn't watch Squirtle closely until I saw that giant phoenix fleet in the Scrap Station game. I guess he didn't do the colossus/phoenix mix properly, although tbh the battle was fairly close. Go Supernova! | ||

I guess they would be more lucky never playing appropriate competition or having a challenge and cakewalking it to the top against bronze players. Everyone gives excuses for why their favorite players lost. Remember when cellawerra lost in season 1? Everyone thought it was a fluke because "He's an awesome streamer", but he simply wasn't at the level of all of these other players. Haypro vs Ganzi was a terrible series. If you look at it objectively without considering the name of the players playing, it was pretty bad. Neither player was comfortable playing in a macro game. Haypro's mutas were the most ineffective mutas I've ever seen in a pro game and he wasn't able to deal with multiple harassments at the same time. Ganzi on the other hand played as standard of a terran as possible making tanks marines marauders and medivacs. He lost SOOOOOOOOO many medivacs. Maybe he didn't care becuase he was sitting on 5 bases, but a better player would not have lost them. He apparently did this in bw too. Also, where was the tech for haypro? He's sitting on 5-6 bases (and losing like 5-6 hatches that he didn't need anyway). He could have gone broodlords or ultras or infestors or even, omg, roaches to tank the tank shots. Neither player convinced me they deserve a code S spot and the better (slightly) player won. This is a mentality that ESPN also has with east coast teams. When the Giants won the world series they called it a fluke stating that "they were lucky". They simply couldn't believe that their Philies lost. The Philies are a great team, but the giants had the pitching advantage and they had a group of hitters that could get things done at the right time. | ||
