I'm not sure if somebody already said this, but I don't really feel like reading >100 pages to check.

I'm excited to see the results so far. It shows how great of a game Starcraft 2 is becoming. With so many professionals performing at the highest level, it makes EVERY tournament that much more exciting. I personally think it's much more fun watching quality games at each stage, rather than watching the clearcut #1 guy stomp on everybody else.

Also, I think we may be seeing an effect of the new maps. Some of the old strats that served the first wave of dominant players might not be the most effective. Time will tell who will be able to master new build orders and tactics to win on the macro maps.

Artosis and Tasteless discuss how Inca could've come back in that game.

According to Tastosis:
Inca shouldn't have taken the low ground expansion. He shouldn't have engaged in open areas. He should have taken the expansion at 12. He should have harassed more with his Warp Prism, and he should have taken more initiative after taking out two of Kyrix's hatcheries.

They really could have just stopped beating around the bush and say "Inca should have played more like San" and it would mean about the same lol

Too bad MKP is out. I was hoping he'd make another final appearance and win it this time. Especially after the first of his games I had my hopes high but, alas, he was crushed.

MC has no opponent now

( I'm Protoss but sad to see only a few zergs in R16, PvP is boring, PvT in late game is so 1-side

lol, what's with the top players this season? Were they all ordered to lose to make the up&down matches more exciting? This season is so crazy xD

Considering Jinro 2-0'd him last time they played, I'd say it isn't quite a done deal just yet.

Oh wow my liquibet is failing hard, never imagined MKP to go to up/down matches.
I think these new maps are really making the difference, or the underdogs has trained their asses off, maybe both.

I was thinking about it, it has to be the maps.

MarineKing and Fruitdealer, 2 of my favourite players knocked out

So many great players being knocked out of GSL this season. I mean who's left to support apart from Jinro...

I love how NaDa gets almost no love in this thread. Seems like many people weren't fans before SC2 came out...

Everything is like "Jinro this", "MC that", "waah waah waah why is X player out already"...while the most consistent Starcraft player of all time gets no respect. Reminds me of that poll a few days ago of the favorite Korean TSL invite - NaDa was second to last. Wtf man. -_-

I actually voted for Nada even though I didn't follow bw competatively. Sadly most people only cheer you on when your winning lol. Nada's turn!
