EPTHappy Losira made it through, and that Alicia's hype was again unfounded (sorry, I'm yet to see what all the fuss is about). Did not expect Coca to get through, but dark horses make tournaments more exciting. As much as everyone would hype a semi final lineup of like NesteavMC and MVPvNada or something, it'll never happen so it's nice to find an underdog.

Terran walks down with stim and medivacs and u die. Their variety builds to mix up your play, but korean protoss, and especially Alecia use them 80% of the time. Just watch the last 10 protoss games at GSL, maybe 1 standard game teching to mid/late game play. If you think 6 gate blink stalker build puts you behind when you fail then you obviously haven't been paying attention to HuK or the chinese protosses. You can definitely go FFE into 6 gate blink stalkers with a robo and put a ton of pressure on zerg so that you can get a third up without the zerg being able to saturate his own third. I fail to see how opening up templar tech and getting a fast +2 atk upgrade and a robo and delaying a zerg from saturating their third is somehow having no midgame tech. DT expand is pretty standard, a lot of people do it and it's transition into chargelot archon in PvT is incredibly popular. Also stargate expand builds have been standard ever since MC won using them in whichever GSL he won. BTW you notice how Alicia moves away after he sees MKP try to be mobile with the medivacs? Yeah that's because stargate expand in pvT is meant to buy you time and to punish wallins. If you don't think any of this is standard play then you're probably not a very good player. | ||

4 gate = cheese DT opening = cheese SG = cheese 6 gate = cheese so basically all we can do as toss is expand early, without applying any pressure cos that'd be cheesey. Then we cant use DTs or any air units at all, and if at any point i have 6 gates, im cheesing again dam, now i know why i cant get out of platinum -_- seriously some people are just crazy when shit goes down in tournaments that they dont agree with. Its a game, support the players you like but leave it at that. Dont turn it into something religious | ||

Just watch the last 10 protoss games at GSL, maybe 1 standard game teching to mid/late game play. Actually, when any strategy fails--you lose. Imagine doing a hatch first and they kill your hatch? Fail. 1Rax FE and they kill your scvs with a drop? Fail. How about a 3GateFE where they kill all your sentries? Fail. Actually any strategy where your main crutch is countered is a strategy that fails. That's kind of why there's usually a "main crutch" to every strategy out there. Open Speedling expand but you don't send out your lings for map control? Fail. Open 2RaxFE but you lose your army to forcefields trying to go up the ramp? Protoss counterattacks and you die. Open ForgeFE (Like Alicia did) and have drops circumvent your wall off? Yes, you also fail. Do you even understand what strategy is? Or are you like Idra and simply pretend that strategies are only allowed if you say so? | ||

A race to get the most bases in the game. Ah truly a worthy game for the capitalist masses. | ||
