Moonglade would be dumb to go ling/bling vs morrow, considering the games he took off of idra and ret were those style. ZvZ doesnt seem like either players best, but because MorroW has better control I think he will win. (Unless his build is far inferior like it was against ret, but honestly I think he must have learned quite a bit since then.)

I also think IdrA will take it, because frankly squirtle did not look impressive today at all. He just barely got in over sjow and socke.

how did squirtle do so BAD


i don't know how much hour there is between korea and germany but it's a lot

CET +8 h = Korean time

so most of the tournament it's actually better for him (in Korean time) than for the Europeans , especially at the beginning when he lost most of his games.

tournament starts at 9 am in Central Europe/5 pm in Korea

No need to get offensive about this, i've spoke 3 languages when i graduated 12th grade, and i was studying a 4th one, which i still do, it's common, in Europe at least, by no means am i specially dedicated to learning languages. I find it really strange Korean pros barely speak any english. My 4th language (German) is better then the english of most progamers i've heared.
Actually if you care, you can explain why isnt learning English, or other foreign languages popular in Korea, instead of trying to be sarcastic

4 Zergs out of 6 so far, I am very happy.

seriously?
ZvZ's are by farrrrr the worse matchup imo..
i love ZvT and ZvP, but most ZvZ's are pretty painful to watch i find

67% zergs is too many, but we'll see how the matchups pan out


ZvZ is way better than pvp imo.

PvP is bad too, i admit. ZvZ might have more potential for future development, but i find the standard pvp better to watch than the average ZvZ..
they're both bad matchups, we'll settle on that okay >?

I don't think they're necessarily 'bad' match-ups, they're just extremely unforgiving. Like in MVP vs Bomber you see him come back and win from a 60 supply deficit, and that would never ever ever ever ever happen in a ZvZ or PvP.
There are so many little timings in PvP and ZvZ that can end the game immediately or do enough damage to make the game unrecoverable for one player.

I can't say anything about PvP, but as time goes on I think it's very likely that ZvZ games will get longer and longer, and we will see more stable play out of it where a player is allowed to make a mistake or two without automatically losing.

People are discovering safe FE & roach builds lately(like Ret & Idra), and when 2 players open up like that it often leads to a longer 15+ min 2-3 base game. It still mostly comes down to 1 big engagement which sucks :o but at least it's still evolving, albeit slowly.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

The last pages of a tournament thread after it's over always diverge into some ridiculous retarded and unrelated subject.

Squirtle vs Socke, Socke vs Sjow, Sjow vs Squirtle was some good series, not very long though, but i think you will enjoy them

Every tie-breaker match was amazing. Especially the Sjow/Squirtle games. Didn't get a chance to watch any matches before the tie-breakers but I heard a lot of them were good and worth watching.

If you wanna hear my FOB experience, here you go.
I learned English in Korea about 7~8 years, and moved to United States for some bad reason.

And, I could not speak any shit of what I learned in this country.
It's not that I don't remember any grammar or vocabulary.
It just doesn't come out of mouth because I am not sure if what I am saying is correct or not.
And then what I knew suddenly wiped out of my head; and I become speechless.

They don't teach us how to communicate in English; we learn to solve English problems.
We are learning English to survive in Korean Society because Colleges Universities and Companies require us to know English more than Americans know; however, I never ever once thought that we are, at least I am, learning English to speak.

well this looks like a korean 1-2-3.. Easy money... Unless Idra can pull off something awesome agaisnt squirtle. Which we know he can and hope idra can win ace in the finals :D

Well I mean, IdrA is basically Korean as far as play goes and since we're not talking about racial superiority here that's all that matters.

you know, some people are able to apply what they learned. don't quite understand what u are trying to say by solving english problems. they teach grammar and vocabulary. if you are unable to form sentences with them then its your fault. and stop being so mad bro

omg it went to a 4th tie break? I left around the 2nd tiebreak, was hoping SjoW would pull through. Honestly at that point I think either SjoW/Squirtle or Socke would've been worthy of the 3rd spot, all three deserved it, so great job to squirtle.
