Hey all,

I just got back to hostel in Busan after the match.

There were actually a lot of people there. They showed a movie in 3D before the match so it was already packed when I got there.

People started to leave after game 1 after finding out yellow didn't actually know how to play.

Was pretty fun regardless. Met up with a couple foreigners there but overall was pretty much all Koreans. Makes sense though considering it's not in Seoul.

I didn't take too many pictures since I had a camera boom in front of me and there was a gay imitating wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tubeman right in front of the middle of the stage from my perspective. I'll post them up some time soon.

I didn't get a chance to wait around for a potential autograph as the subway was about to close and there were enough people that it would make sense for them both to just leave out the back without doing any autographs.

I was actually pretty pumped up by Yellow's play. He was playing pretty damn good for someone who's only been playing the game for mere 25 days or so. You could see his old school awesome SC1 hydra micro when he was micro'ing roaches, but also see that he's not so used to having to split his drones or zerglings against hellions (makes sense... who splits zerglings or drones vs vultures in SC1?)

There is nothing wrong with hellions, but I think the research time on BFH can be extended a little bit just like protoss warp gate nerf.

They're pretty good against unstimmed Marines in the early ZvT game.

And they eat Zealots alive in ZvP. They're also the cornerstone of ZvZ.

Yeah, this would make hellions go from OP to useless in terms of harassment, make marine/scv all-ins harder to stop and turn phoenixes less useful.

If he had baneling speed it would have been much better xD He has a lot of potential though if he decides to continue SC2. He seemed a bit angry/humiliated after it though lol

Maybe he thought it would just be a fun, friendly contest for the fans. But then Boxer dialed it up to 11 and rolled him.

So where can I get vods for this? It started at 7am, which is right when I need to wake up and get ready for work, so by the time I got into the office they were already over

Watching yellow actually inspired me to think about some new builds, Roach / queen drop vs 2port banshee is obviously actually very viable if u can transfuse correctly, then he reminded me to use more burrowed banelings ... YellOw might of been able to even win game 3 if he exploded all those baneling mines at the correct time , macroed a little better and defended against those hellions a little better, but all in all for only a lil under a month of playing, he did amazing. I really hope YellOw moves to SC2 full time.

From the Milkis interview, Boxer's really trying hard to get Yellow onto SlayerS. I hope Yellow improves quickly

You do see flashes of brilliance with his micro though. The single burrow of roaches he tried pulling off reminds me of blink micro. I think with a bit more practice, he could be competitive.

▼ Suppose that you did decide to come back. Do you have any thoughts of joining SlayerS?
Yellow - If I make a come back then all realms of possibility are open. I'm not going to not go just because it's the team that has BoxeR. I think in order to overcome that person, being on the same team would be helpful. I think it's one good method.
BoxeR - I'm against it. I think it'll be better if Yellow made his own team. If you look at the big picture for the Starcraft 2 market, I think Yellow having his own identity would be for the best for e-Sports.
