Holy shit. Socke is on fire. I don't see why this guy is so often overlooked. He's still one of the best EU protoss, and has been that since like..forever.

Nice couple of games. People need to give Socke more credit.

Great series to start the event with, some really tense games there!

Looking forward to this next game, Sheth plays a fun ZvP style wihile Sase is always aggressive around the map with any units he can get his hands on ^_^

Socke outplayed him that last game. Nerchio had no reason to blame balance :p

If that was a trick socke did latting the zergling in and then switching to DT then it was a stroke of genius!

Socke had some pretty solid unit control in that last game. Overall nice play. Nerchio BM but he should be mad at himself for buying the fake blink rush.

Socke could've thrown just about any unit at him and killed him... Nerchio made pure units for like three minutes to all-in and then didn't even attack with them, + letting a DT in with a spore already up. He was way, way behind after the early game.

Ya that was a very good series. I'd be surprised if any of the other ro8 matches will be as good, but I'm definitely looking forward to them.

Nerchio should have won that. He reacted appropriately to the potential for dts, he had a spore and a spine.

Unfortunately he needed to either leave 5 lings next to the spore, or he needed a second spore in his main. Either one would have won him the game.

I'm not saying that's why he lost that particular game but sometimes it just feels like they're way too cost efficient in PvZ.
