As far as I can understand Socke is confident against both Puma and Mana. I hope my school-Deutsch hasn't failed me

Socke would've lost in a straight up macro game 3gate failed harass vs. the fast expand of terran. He had to all-in or his chance to lose was gigantic, I would say over 85%.

Kas had information of Socke's gates, from the energy on the sentries when he poked with the SCV, but he failed to recognize it. Pro players are still often not taking the initiative to actively look at sentry energies.

I'm sure Kas will check every damn sentry next time he plays.

Grats to Socke.

That was really classy of Take. Well done sir.

Yes I am vehemently against interviewing a loser (from any kind of game) right after the loss but he handled it very delicately at least. I really hope IEM stops doing that.

Regardless that was a great series to watch and grats to Socke for moving on after a hard fought series.

Socke so lucky he never get attacked by a real 1 / 1 /1 with super timing , with raven , without cloak , with bunker and knowklege how to follow up if you got rid of nexus

Also before in this event some Terran did 4 rax fast third on Shakuras Plateau vs him They should know that rax builds are useless on this map.

2 FF choke for natural = easy holdable bio push
There are to many targets , and i smile everytime they try to defend and thinking they are smart.

To be fair it wasn't a very greedy opening


Except it was, socke said he wanted to play standard with 1 or 3gates expo, but he felt that in game 4 the expo was way to early and greedy, so that he had to play catch up, so he decided to all-in.

Kas looked like "lesson learnt" with a smiley face. It is obviously a huge lesson for EVERY player to come to a huge lan, participate in it, GET OUT of the group(!), even losing in quarters, I think (only saw the last game of Kas, where he said he played a one skill level down because of being down what happened game 2 and 3) and this scv pull, building bunkers and supply depots was really good - I am not sure if someone caught this, but Kas had Stim ready just as the push happened. Socke is one of my favourite P's, I know him from solid play or interesting builds. I am happy to see players compete in tournament like that.

True, there are greedier openings out there. I ment in general I guess. Like the games with Select and Killer as an example.

Hey guys, the commercials that most of you see randomly are only on the free stream, they dont cut us of, they just play a lot of commercials like you see proplayers do after games /commercial ^^, on the premium stream you don't see them, just wanted to clear that out ~

Other than that, hope you guys enjoy the games, I liked this bo5 but it wasnt as expected or awesome as I hoped it to be, let's see how cool EG.PuMa vs Acer~Nerchio is going to be, foreigner power or EG love <3 hmhmmh ;D

OMG I really think foreigners can take this event.
Too close to call, imo, but I'd love to see a Nerchio upset.
.


I dont know what makes Americans constantly think ( especialy casters ) that Korea > EU ( or all foreigners) .

Nerchio is clearly the second best Europe player right now and i see him be able to take a GSL finals title.

The only issue with him is that he cant accept my superiority over him.

And to the Mana vs Puma series , Mana isnt at a level of Puma if you saw the series from Puma vs Sase then u know where its at dont know why Puma decided to play that odd in those series.

And to my fellow toss underlings outta there stop FFEing Nerchio shows why its absolutely useless and i never played FFE because i knew game maths dno why most toss prefer FFE .

You need to wake up and come back to reality lol =)) Inception time is over

Nerchio was the guy who lost to White-Ra easily 3-1 a week ago. And he's good at online tourney only, not at LAN. Clearly doubt him to make it from code B to A, don't eve mention GSL code S final in here lol


One reason why you think he's good at online tourney is because he hasn't been to them. He's only been playing in online because he's been studying without the possibility to attend lans, and the players he's been beating in the online tournies are top european players.


He got crushed in the NASL qualifiers and TL Opens against Korean B teamers. Left with no GG. Not saying he isn't good but GSL title? That's pretty lol.
