A lot of Koreans have said they've been impressed by Thorzain's play. Unfortunately he's matched up with a Zerg in code A. No prep, jet lag and zerg opponent in code A. That's going to be hard. | ||

Not sure what he's referring to, but if at say, 12:00, Tz moves out to the xel'naga tower with tanks and marines, Ret is forced to invest his 300 gas that he has into banelings instead of 3 mutas. That's how I see it, anyway. It's tough as f, but if you looked at Ret's resources, he was consistently staying below 50 gas the whole game. | ||

Just to reinforce the fact that his playstyle is in no way safe. You're not meant to play 100% safe at top level anyway. I like that Ret is cutting so many corners and playing it a lot like Brood War. Ret gets a lot of edge with his ling micro and perfect map control he can afford to be skimpy in defense. Not saying that he will always win and defend everything, but it's still the right direction to pursue in your play. | ||

Good job Blizzard! =) Very true - apart from the awful map choice (close positions on shattered - wtf?) But it's definitely a very well run tournament with cool games | ||

Hmm, well hopefully he can raise his TvZ up to his TvP level by then lol I really want Thorzain and Nani to succeed in Korea, more foreigners in GSL makes it more enjoyable imo, I like watching koreans and high level games, but it's nice to see some white guys in there  | ||

Dreamhack Invitational is comparable to this, bot not DHS/DHW/Assembly. Note even close. | ||

Ret I think didn't make a single unit that required gas except Mutas until he prepared for the final push. | ||

I think their performance in the first Code A season is irrelevant to them. It's the ones after that will be more important and whether they have improved. I think i read Naniwa specifically say this in an interview somewhere too. | ||
