yes that right ~ if u want to chat with thai people pls join Channel : Thai
Banning someone from a tournament is nothing to be proud of, regardless of which end you're on - putting it in all caps certainly doesn't make it any more special either.
Also, why would anyone want to chat with a bunch of uncontrolled "grean" kids?
Did you seriously thought that I didn't know why major was banned? My whining wasn't about why, it's about how you proudly go about telling people in all caps that "Hey, I've successfully black marked someone". Stop asking if everyone's Thai or not. Also, wouldn't hurt to proofread before hitting the post button.

He put it in all caps because he already said that he banned major, then someone who couldn't read asked him again. It's not an excited or happy sentence, it's more of an angry, 'I already said it!' thing.
Well played to everyone involved, we've got a beastly top 16 to throw at the top 16 invites from all around the world. I don't care if you think SEA is big or small, MKP is playing, so get in here when we're back in 2 weeks.

Game 1: Select goes P and tries to k4g, a build which no longer works imo. All his pylons die before warpgate is finished. He then dies to a normal 4gate counter. Game 2: Sensei goes for proxy VR, doesn't manage to kill the techlab, and dies to marines with stim. Game 3: Select plays standard, takes an early third while dropping. Sensei kills his drop with stalkers taking no damage, and timing pushes with 2 colossi against 0 vikings, instantly winning. Game 4: Select goes 1base cloaked ghost rush vs proxy dark shrine, ends up heavily behind, then dies to a Colossus push.

Played live.
We're basically going to jump from series to series so if possible, we'll cast whatever games are available. With luck, HerO vs Killer ^^ (Depends on timing/tourney admins etc)
The HerO vs winner of Sheth/xiaOt match was scheduled 15 days ago, but somehow the Sheth vs xiaOt match never happened. Some kind of update on that situation would be nice.
i read a lot of threads in the official forums and tried to contact the host of the tournament via 2 different e-mails.
pretty sure this was never played out - they probably didn't want to pay the price money or something like that, there is no official answer in the forums and there are other tournaments they host, none of who have any foreigners/koreans in it

I am in contact with the tournament host and helped the players get in touch with him, I think they are sorting it out.

It's one of my favourite pushes tbh <3
Felt like HerO let himself get too close to the forcefielded off units? He was taking quite a bit of fire from units he had basically sectioned out of the fight due to letting his units auto concave out that way?
===
MKP playing very standard this time, play like today more in the GSL pls
Hero going 15 nex, phoenix after expo, pretty cool.
===
HerO holds the MMM timing with zeal/sentry/phoenix, very nice. Getting his third up in teh wake of picking off retreating medivacs and teching to templar archives. MKP committing pretty heavily on 2base. Big EMP on the phoenix.
===
Another big engagement and the trade is pretty even. MKP getting up a third, storm almost done for HerO and a double robo on the way.
MKP's caught back up on supply a bit but HerO's got a ton of tech up
Super clutch emp's from MKP, MKP chases HerO across the whole map but HerO eventually gets enough reinforcecments and energy to defend with some storms.
---
Unscouted double Robo Colossus pumping , fourth on the way, and a 40 supply lead. HerO looking in an amazing position now.
by targeting the medivacs MKP was never able to get up the vikings to counter the coming colossi switch. Pretty sick play by Hero. Also I'm a anti fan of MKP so go hero ;D
And thats why I am an anti fan. Only top terran I see regularly using a 1 base form of the 1/1/1, or generally 1basing constantly. Personally I find it shameful.

I only tuned in at the end of match one and didnt notice if MKP 1 based but he only 1 based one game after that?
Plus every terran 111 every now and then vs protoss anyway, I think you might be slightly biased towards MKP.

MKP went fe into 5rax marine. HerO tried to 4gate warp prism drop in the main. HerO's army in MKP's main while MKP's is at his door. Too much stuff from MKP on both fronts, HerO gets cleaned up at MKP's and misses a forcefield to let MKP into his base. HerO goes back with the warp prism to MKP's base in desperation but fails.

"trying-to-win" playstyle not for you?
Just watch Idra games then, you'll be better off.
Throwing in a cheese every once in awhile is playing to win, 1 basing at least half the time is being being cheesy.

Is 1 basing to win, something bad? Yeah I guess a macro game would be better for the viewers but let the players do whatever they want in order to win

The US aren't superpowers for respecting every little etiquette. Their bureaucracy are heavy-handed and hard-as-nails. Cunning I would say as well. But manages to impose the current world order. You gotta all-in sometimes man!

Bad for the viewers and also a less solid way of playing. You can't purely do macro games, because then your opponent will cut a ton of corners and you end up behind, but if you play largely macro games and are a good player you will have continued long term success where the cheesy player can win games they would otherwise lose by cheesing alot, but ultimately they disappear from the scene. Compare the 1st season of GSL to recent seasons and you see no bitbybitprimes. Even MKP can play a macro game, he just for some reason loves to cheese...a lot.

If MKP thinks 1-basing is his best chance to win the game, then he is playing to win. The victory screen doesn't care about how you won.

Nailed it - you HAVE to learn macro at some stage. Kyrix tried to macro up, but just isnt' as tactically astute as other zergs it seems.

Enjoy your scrub mentality.
Someone sounds like a butt hurt MKP fan :/. My message above addresses any of this. Cheese is an option. You do it to punish greedy play and prevent yourself from becoming predictable. You can't possibly defend mass cheese as a good strategy for pro gaming success. For his own sake, he has to play more solidly or he will end up in code B with all the other players(except hongun) who cheese as much as he does ended up.
I didn't watch MKP's up and downs or like any of his Code A games. Don't watch games that religiously cuz I tend to prefer watching replays for learning Terran. But do note this:
MKP went for heavy 1 base on XNF and Dual Site. On Dual Site, Hero went for 3 gate void initially and did a 1 base warp prism/4gate on Shattered. All other games the players were going for more expansion focused play. MKP one based as many games as Hero did, and the 1/1/1 that MKP did I feel could of been beaten if Hero played better.
There is no basis for hating on MKP for winning this series with the playstyles that he executed. He did get a few BO wins but that happens sometimes. With the arguable exception of the Xel Naga Fortress game he never played in a truly all in style, instead hitting a series of timings with each timing potentially ending the game immeadiately and that's just him being a good player.

I agree with that assessment, he let too much of the army attack his units and should have strung out the fight longer if possible - even the first forcefields were off somewhat.
Pretty sick push that really maximizes the timings of the gasless expo having a bunch of early marines :o
1 base Terran vs Protoss actually wins pretty consistently. Remember MVP won 2 1 base games vs Huk, and then still destroyed him in the macro game. Feeling that 1 base play on certain maps will let you win easy is a fine mentality, especially when the 1 base is good and doesn't rely on luck to win. 6 pool, 2 base baneling, 4 gate, and scv marine all ins are bad cheeses. Good TvP cheeses can be scouted and will still be very hard for Protoss to hold off.

You are 2/5 right, so, no.
Didn't catch the games, as I said. What other builds did he pull off, and which ones did he win?
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with 1-basing if it gets you the win. I'm just less-inclined to watch one-sided TvP series that include 1-basing or 1/1/1. Not that any TvP isn't one-sided nowadays (lol EMP). Gives you a whole new appreciation of players like Taeja who typically don't 1/1/1 and decide to go for macro games as a rule.
VODs are available at www.twitch.tv/benjisc2. I do not think they are itemised or broken into games or matches, so you kind of have to guess your way to what you want to watch. Not that it is a problem if you have a minute of patience.
Think either Benji or laguz mentioned on the cast that there would be replays. No eta though.
