Man watching this European robo style in PvT feels so weird. Almost nostalgic.

Now lets enjoy the games. Someone DID learn to counter it properly. It's just that the counter automatically loses to Select's marine/scv all in.
Do you mean Puzzle with the phoenix open?
Been seeing Hero do it a lot on his stream.

Yo Diestar vikings are good.

Didn't their opponents arrive in a similar fashion?

The commentary regarding the delay of the starport meaning collosus would be strong, fantastic.

Yeah his opponent did as well, Yaotzin asked about the Koreans specifically, though. So I was just answering that :p

Been seeing Hero do it a lot on his stream. No, I meant 15 nexus. See MC vs Thorzain at Columbus to see why phoenixes are not a reliable counter to the 1/1/1.

This is why I like the ESL Events. Progamers casting. Rotating casters who are all fucking good.

He's referring to nexus first countering it really well (as seen in game 2 of killer/select), but being very vulnerable to a 4rax all in like SeleCT did in games 1 and 3 (after scouting it)
Hero's opened phoenix forever in PvT, it's kind of his thing ^^
Poor Diestar, caught completely unprepared for that fast 2 Colossus push.

No man, Koreans just have a hard time in EU tournament ... look at Nada's results in Assembly. (Just trolling)
Seriously, if the Jet-Lag is a problem then fly-in earlier. Also, tournament started early, most of these pro-gamer-nerds would still be sleeping now.

It's mostly Koreans/Europeans though so I asked about Koreans. Seen it alot, they do kinda iffy on day1 then tear shit up after that.
Dying to a build as old and figured out as 2base collo push is...kinda sad :<

Yeah, really nice in-depth touch! 
Anyone else a little annoyed with the background noise (ie hearing them slightly again)

He is studying english as a teacher.
