My predictions: Losira > Trickster Byun > Bomber Byun > Losira (Byun seems pretty solid in all MUs, Losira's ZvT performances are unstable) NesTea >? HongUn (But not so sure about that. HongUn has sooo many tricks up his sleeve) NesTea > Byun (else Byun>HongUn) | ||

Nonetheless, I feel like NesTea will smash HongUn, would've smashed MC, and will smash Losira/Bomber/Trickster/Byun | ||

Impressive feat by Hongun but Nestea man.. I would be surprised if he even took 1 game from him. I wanted to see Nestea v MC so bad = ( | ||

 Seems all it did was weaken one of Ps all ins vs other two race and did nothing to fix matchup... at least in GSL. Almost every single PvP in last two tournaments was a 4 gate. eh.How about gateways cranking units faster than WG and WG is a twilight tech? I've never understood that button to swap back to gates since there is absolutely no advantage to having gateways as opposed to warp gates. I have hit it accidentally though and died shortly thereafter. This would afford P early units and shut down 4 gating once and for all. | ||

I was hoping to see something new / original shown within the PvP matchup. I guess risking everything on a new strategy so deep in the tournament might be dangerous, especially in a matchup such as PvP. can't really blame the players, they are just playing the game they have been given. | ||

Hongun was blatantly 4gating in 3/4 of the games, showing MC tons of chrno boost and MC was building the third pylon really fast almost every game. He really should of just did a pure defensive 4gate and he would of been fine I think, theres lots of good builds to defend a blatant 4gate and he just wasn't doing it. Don't feel like it was hongun winning this series, but MC losing it. | ||

Way to contribute. I really, really need to watch these series. One to learn ZvZ from the best, and another to know what just happened. That was the last thing I expected. | ||

You're right I didn't mean it like that. I just mean for example his game against puma so close, and obviously he is doing amazingly as a player, I just want him to win everything so bad it's tough when he loses like that :D | ||

The days when you win PvP with only micro is long over, but it looks like MC hasn't realized it yet. More time in Korea will do him good, otherwise the gap will just get wider. What a ridiculous statement. While MC didn't play well today, he is still by a fair margin the best Protoss in Korea. | ||

Sorry, but this is a silly statement. MC is easily still the best protoss, noone can compete with him, he is 10-2 in PvP in GSL, you telling me he's bad?... And yes, you can still win pvp with micro alone, especially since MC has the best macro of any protoss in the world, as quoted by Tyler on SOTG, and agreed on by everyone else. EDIT: He lost because of bad decissions today, the last game was...weird. | ||
