-Adelscott's macro was horrendous -MVP was clearly affected by lag, you can see this clearly when he defends his gold with his stimmed marauders, he barely even microes them, if you've watched the GSL/GSTL you know that MVP is a lot better than this. -MVP also made some poor decisions, like not upgrading. All in all. MVP played sub-par, and adding lag to that, he ended up getting beat by Adelscott, who did NOT play well. When he faces another "foreigner" on equal footing, he'll lose if he doesn't practice his macro. | ||

Certainly MVP didn't play his best, plus he probably was lagging a bit, but adelscott was pooling 1.3k-2k mins, not macroing AT ALL during battles. Things that demand attention: -Adelscott's macro was horrendous -MVP was clearly affected by lag, you can see this clearly when he defends his gold with his stimmed marauders, he barely even microes them, if you've watched the GSL/GSTL you know that MVP is a lot better than this. -MVP also made some poor decisions, like not upgrading.

When he faces another "foreigner" on equal footing, he'll lose if he doesn't practice his macro. I agree. I was commenting on those exact points during those matches. MVP was absolutely horrible about his upgrades. Even my macro TvP games has significantly more attentiveness to upgrading. The poor macro on Adel's part was made up by his upgrade advantage. Was still an entertaining series none the less. | ||

This tournament is just so good in every way, it's just what I've been waiting for since I started following the SC2 competitive scene. Mega props to Team Liquid, the players, casters and everyone involved. husky is actually decent when he talks about the game, which he is forced to do in tournaments. nothing too insightful tho, but he tells you what is happening | ||

I think there was a brief window in which he could've broken naniwa's base by reinforcing with speed lings instead of roaches in game 3, but even then it would've been a close thing. Other than that, naniwa just out-played him. I'll never understand why zerg players prefer defending their third up a ramp rather than through the middle, but they always seem to take a third near the opposite natural rather than towards the middle. Especially with the rocks broken down, it seems like a bad plan to me. Well played, naniwa. | ||

When Jinro/Huk tell me it's not the lag, I believe them. When Koreans get super-far behind econ-wise and then lose because their armies are smaller, it's not lag. I don't doubt that lag is an issue, but MC didn't seem to mind. I think the Koreans lost because they didn't prepare for these matches like they would've for GLS matches. They saw Ace, Moon, and Squirtle wreck all the white guys at IEM and concluded they would do the same. (You know, just like 90% of the "biased foreigners" who did Liquibet and the bracket contest.) I don't think anyone is saying that Addelscott is better than MVP or whatever. But it means the skill gap is small. Koreans need to take foreigners seriously to beat them in a tournament like this, and if they don't, players like Thorzain an Addelscott will beat them. | ||
