I don't think it was random ( I could be wrong), but i think its preset so that A plays B and C plays D. PS: yeah im pretty sure its preset. I just checked IEM Cologne last year and they used the same format. | ||

Seriously DL Fraps and do it, it's HARD, 99% of the commentator bashing is ignorant bullshit. I really don't want to be misunderstood on this one. It's completely natural to not always catch each detail, each drop, and so on. But the 2nd game was casted wrong. Socke didn't expect an expand-build but blind-countered a 111 all-in. This is why he built early robo, this is why he built a useless immortal, this is why he cut probes. Consequently, this is why he ended up being behind. And THEN come the clueless people and write about how Puma "outclassed" Socke, just because he made a wrong read. It's not about caster-hate, but people ought to realize why Socke was behind basicly the whole game. Puma tricked Socke by building the bunker, that was the crucial moment in the game. Please realize that I love Rotterdam's casting, it just annoyed me that the LR-thread was flooded with people screeming how much better Puma is, when in fact all he did the 2nd game was trick Socke into a inferior build. | ||

Agreed, in the top level, where the differences among players are so small, pro players have to take risks to get ahead and win. Koreans take risks and because they understand the game better, their risk usually pays off. | ||

Let me put it this way, do u want to watch 2 grandmaster vs gold games just to be able to watch grandmaster vs grandmaster finals. Im obviously exaggerating | ||

Killer is also Korean, long time code S player, maybe you should not cherry-pick your examples. Depends what your point actually is since you never actually stated anything. | ||

I really don't want to seem hating right now, but damn Rotti, you are better than that... I find it very very unlikely that anyone expects 1-1-1 on Terminus Cross map ;P aint really steppes of war , i missed the socke iview but if he said so then I apologize for making a mistake :D but it won't be the last time I'm wrong either ;P nobody is always right Puma was indeed faking it a little bit with the bunker and stuff, but I still wouldnt expect it Hoped you guys had fun though, unfortunately not the super close semi's we expected, let's hope the Finals are going to be legendary^^ | ||
