EPTI 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.

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 | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
