We've seen it in the GSTL already. You prepare snipers for people like MC or MVP, not July. It might however change very soon.
I don't even know how you'd prepare for July. This guy is all over the place.

Trailing off on that last thought makes it sound like Koreans didn't live up to expectations. However, this will do good for the overall scene if it shows foreigners being able to compete with Koreans.

Funny how are saying how close this was considering Nestea played last. Cella said he wanted to give a show with who he sent out, and he delivered. He also could've have made this a one sided walk in the park. Foreigners are happy that it only took 5 people to take down July.
Unfortunately, it'll probably take way more than 5 people to pick up chubby old July.
Anyways, I'll stop with the JulyZerg fat jokes now.
July looked quite strong tonight. It really seemed that his style of insane aggressiveness really allows us to see exactly how solid these supposedly solid macro players are in reality. I have a feeling that he is going to look quite strong in the NASL.

I wouldn't make any judgements until after the tournament that actually has a prize pool

Except WhiteRa (the first person to play July) could have beaten him if he hadn't countered so quickly, and so the July rampage could have actually never happened. And keep in mind that MC got a total of one win, and MVP got a total of zero.
So we could theorize all we want, but I think it's rather insulting of you to think that the Koreans fixed it so that it would look close. Apparently you didn't pay attention to how unsettled their entire team looked all series long. And how many excuses Cella was making for his team's lackluster performance early on. They were pissing themselves.

Well...thats why Nestea is the master of ZvZ. His timings are ridiculous.

i thought dimaga used to be ridiculed for being a 1 basing zerg? or was that someone else?

july macro with agression is freaken solid. even with the fail baneling bust had had roaches and bunch of lings after he killed white ra attack.

1. Cella tries to purposely send out players in an order that will allow for perhaps the closest and most entertaining amount of matches, even asking his fans what matchups they want to see and that it's okay if the Korean team loses because he just wants to make sure we're entertained
2. Sen and other foreigners say in an interview that they felt the Koreans weren't playing serious in Day 1
3. People proceed to say, "lol no, Korea was trying as hard as possible, they were shitting their pants"
... What?

The highlight of the night was towards the end when huk grabs MC's manboob. Missed it when it was live had to rewatch the VODs

Damn man. Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn.
Best. Series. Ever.
Totally did not expect the things I saw. Such epicness.

That ZvZ strat is clearly from IM team. I remember very similar strat from losira (v. leenock). Quantity > Quality.

Nada and NesTea would be pretty good in a fight, but Dimaga apparently knows martial arts and he's ridiculously ripped. Dimaga would 8-0 Team Korea single-handedly, do an MC thumbs down over them, turn, and then walk away. Then he'd make Cella faint by just staring him down.

You play a strong defensive style. In his games against Jinro and Huk, you saw both players falling completely into the July's pace. Don't fall into his game or things spiral out of control fast. It's easy to say this but July won 3 OSLs using this mentality. It's almost like preparing independent of his style which sounds completely counter intuitive. MC smashed his way through July by dictating the midgame with powerful gateway armies. July smashed Best in Ever OSL by taking the momentum of the series in game 1 and then never letting go. July lost 0-3 against both oov and nada in osl finals because they played their own game. They were never overtaken by the July "atmosphere". If you can push july out of rhythm just once, you are golden.
