which might have had something to do with his poor scouting which in turn allowed TLO to do the 6rax rush effectivily in g6. I have a strong feeling Spanishiwas scouting and decision making is way better then what we saw in g5 and g6 under normal circumstances. And for those of you wondering what he could have done if he did scout it? Well the same thing he does vs 4g. Get 5-6 spines and a bunch of queens to transfuse. GL breaking that defense. | ||

I think people focus too much on the "build" and strategy and Spanishiwa doesn't get enough credit for improving really fast and being just a good overall player. He already looks a lot better than he did in his first competitive series vs Minigun. I mean regardless of your initial build, when the game gets into 15-20th minute, just being smart and having a clever unit composition won't win you games against pros. His harassment and micro seem to be getting better every game/series I see him play. | ||

I'd like to see how he adjusts in the next tournament he attends, and look forward to other Zergs adapting the style. I know Idra has been experimenting with a variant of Spanishiwa's build to good effect in NASL. Darkforce seems to think it's too easily countered, though. I think Spanishiwa has greatly improved his early game defense tactics and micro since that series. Judging by this series and his series vs. Spades, I'd say Spanishiwa is pretty damn good at holding those super early rushes with just queens, crawlers, and drones. | ||

Because we saw that in comparison to a truly creative and innovative player, he looked just a very very conservative player. Two of his wins were early marine pushes, which has been around for ages and which almost any pro can carry out. | ||

It's easy for something to be made to look weak when you're playing against someone who's way better than you. scfOu is Code-S and 3-0ed his group. | ||

Spanishiwa is around like 1 month or so. They are both fun to watch and came up with new things. | ||
