Since everyone here doesn't remember, Jjun played vs Moonglade last season in code A. He absolutely destroyed Moonglade, with a beastly macro style. He would've been better off just trying to play macro games vs bomber, because he is at least DECENT at it.
I haven't seen Moonglade play well in GSL once, not even a single game. Color me unimpressed with Moonglade.

I have never seen moonglade play well either. Maybe he has bad luck on televised games.
Or maybe he's overrated.

I feel hella happy moletrap said "MOLETRAP COMING AT YA" wooooo

Why is everyone hating on hyberdub? sure he all ins alot, but he already proved he can play macro games, he showed us great macro games vs TLO and slayers_boxer, and completely crushed hongunprime in a 3+ base game with great use of emp and marauder micro against templar play. I agree. Hyperdub is one of the most underrated players. He's a solid consistent mid tier code S player. Unfortunately he keeps running into bad luck (Mc and Mvp in his bracket last season) That's gotta suck... He cheesed TLO out of the first GSL - thereby having a whole community hate him and call him hypercheese. He is also reknowned for being a part of EPIC games (like against Boxer on Shakuras with the 5 OCs) and losing.
This is so hypocritical when TLO himself is known for even worse hypercheese, ala 7 rax >.<
Hyperdub's not that bad but I doubt he's code S. Definitely pretty good in code A.

You guys are giving JJun too much crap for what he did. He cheeses? He's an all inning noob and shouldn't be in code A. Had he played standard and gotten his ass kicked by bomber? Then he becomes a lousy player who doesn't deserve to be in code A. JJun is actually not as bad as you think, it's just he was completely outclassed by Bomber, who is a top tier code S player probably. I don't blame him. He did what he had to do.

Only 1 night in for CODE A but DOA and Moletrap was such a better combo then kellymikes + 1 i feel

i'm not gonna lie, i don't mind watching cheeses especially if they aren't the common ones. i always wonder how the pros stop certain cheeses
for example when idra 6 pooled mc, i for sure thought a forge and cannon was gonna be put down. however mc just did a very well executed 2 gate with pylon block. i didn't even think of that, but i'll be using that for future games
Totally agree. Most players in that situation would have put a forge down and would have ended up far behind, but MC played it out perfectly.
I also don't understand why MC chose TheWind. I can only imagine that he must beat TheWind all the time in practice games. The Wind should 7 pool him...

yeah, some time you just want to finish the game quickly without wasting your time and energy
I cant count how many time I macro-ed up and turned out the other guy only have one base and I could have kill him like 20 minutes ago

Skill-Level in Code-A has jumped up dramaticly! Looking forward to this comming season the most I think.

He and TheWind is attending some europe tournament together (Assembly?) at the weekend so it would be easier if they both play on the first day, beside TheWind need to concentrate on coaching

Where can I find the points ranking for the players from GSL?

Many people thought that Ryung and MMA before SlayerS's GSTL success were inferior to Bomber, but both of them played straight up and beat (almost beat, before losing to a dramatic comeback in MMA's case) Bomber in those games.
Arguably, Ryung and MMA are better players than JJUN and its understandable that JJUN feels inferior to Bomber. Yet, cheesing 3 times in a row just shows a lack of confidence in your own abilities. If he had played at least once, straight up, he wouldn't be getting the amount of hate he is getting.
Oh, and all-inning 3 times in a row and not GG-ing even after a manner CC and still trying to transition to a expansion after said all-in fails (this is Game 1) btw, doesn't help his case either. Although it was hilarious.

I just watched the VOD for game 1 of MMA vs TopClass. MMA continues to impress me. The bunker contain after his multi-prong harass at the edges of the 1st and 3rd base was brilliant. The harassment kept the protoss in the base and when the contain started going up, protoss panicked and tried to break before storm was done. Even if it was done, MMA's units were really spread out and his play in game 2 showed a lot of anticipation by kiting away from storm range.
It was reminiscent of a certain TSL game last weekend + Show Spoiler +where in game 5 BoxeR's harass moved Sen's army out of position and he marched his main army up to the close Xel'Naga Tower and essentially starved out Sen and used the power of Terran static defense to take the final battles

without the cheese, there's no manner CC

Moletrap was really good. I was a bit worried for him since it's not an easy situation to go there and cast for such a demanding audience especially when the bar is set so high by tasteless, day9 & co. Well done by him, really enjoyed! Some really good and diverse matches too.

Added a link to the players interviews in OP.
Code S today, gogo ! (not a very exciting day cause of race distribution + one player who will pwn everyone, but still, the tastosis return is gooood)

Indeed. This is such a big upgrade. I can't emphasize this enough.
But I'd pay ludicrous, unheard of amounts of money to have Cholera or Diggity joining Moletrap.

i think Doa is also great. he just adds such a nice touch to any caster combo. smooooth man.
