He kinda did. Didn't have a good response to the early pressure.

Also, turn off GSL Code A from "ON AIR", it's over now.

Some observations after todays games.

- viOlet really impressed me. Ace didn't play very well, but I think viOlet's playstyle really forced him into such a situation where he was forced to make a lot of mistakes. But still, I think viOlet showed some impressive stuff in that game. Loved how he managed to win even though he failed a 6 pool.
- Ace, continues to disappoint in GSL games.
- YuGiOh beating August was pretty much expected by me.
- Min was disappointing in his win. He had a terrible Game 1, and while he played really well in Game 2 and 3, he had incredibly sloppy moments in both games.
- 3/3 Zergs through today might give some joy to those Zerg naysayers
- I'm really curious as to why MKP and MVP both went for early mass unupgraded marines vs Protoss. The 2nd Lure v MVP game makes me question the logic of it, because even though MVP killed so many sentries and stalkers, his natural came so late and he was behind in supply when they entered the mid-game.
- MVP just shows just how good a player he is. Incredible multitasking in Game 1 and again in Game 2 (this time even showing that he can overcome a better build just by pure multitasking and mechanics alone)
- In relation to the above point, Lure was actually not that bad. He just took a risky double expand in Game 1 and lost to a better player in Game 2.

It's easy to realize that your opponent has an expansion when no matter how hard you hurt his army when he has a LOT more stuff than what he *should* be able to afford.

But in truth--starsense baby! (folks like Flash or Jaedong coming to SC2 is scary not because of APM or micro or macro or multitask--if you think MVP has good starsense then you haven't watched enough Flash games)

If you watch the games MVP basically scouted nexuses that were just being made or just finished building, it wasn't one of those "oh, where are you getting all these units from". I'm guessing MVP probably knew that the only way this guy would win he would have to try something sneaky against him, so he took proper the precautions.

Well Mvp has always had this sort of starsense thing. The game in gsl jan finals against mkp on meta where he scouted the hidden expo comes to mind.
