Will Socke vs Puma be played immediately after this match?

According to the schedule there is another LoL match inbetween. Bo3 probably.


But the lol match is on the side stage.

On one hand I'd like Mana to win so that Europeans can beat Koreans. But I like MC to win because I like a hero!

I was getting all excited that Mana was going zealot-archon, but why suddenly transition to colossus? It is a really slow army to build up and MC took advantage of a great timing.


IMO it was way too much tech. IIRC he was trying to get both Archons and Colossi while MC was massing up tons of Stalkers and a few immortals in the meantime. Just asking to get overrun with a very vulnerable timing.


Also Mana was ahead in probes even though MC had the way earlier expand - this means MC cut probes the whole time, basicly didn't use his additional nexus at all



Mana had like 38 probes when he finally dropped his expansion, which means like over 1/3rd of the probes were doing absolutely nothing for a long time. MC just got barely enough probes to saturate the minerals. I'm not even sure if he even got the gasses at his natural.

Of course Mana is choking a little bit. It's so much pressure. But I have to say that I'm impressed. He was close to winning the first match. The second he just got stomped by a good timing from MC. 1-2 Minutes later attack from MC and he could have won.

Will MaNa be able to gather his wits and take a game or even the series off MC, or will the BossToss just roll over him for a quick 3-0 nom nom nom.

Korean Terrans are everyone's bane, they're so good o,o

True enough. Even Nestea isn't immune.

Truth. Just look at how MMA handily defeated him in group play.


Nestea is mortal, i'd say there is 1-2 better zvt'er than him in korea

Wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of proxy or at least something really cheesy from MC this game.

4gate? :D
A perfectly executed 4gate to end this would be so MC.

I feel like Mana's building positioning really hurt him that game as well. Constantly had to worry about blink stalkers sniping his buildings.

The 2 gateways placed at the ramp is something that White-ra uses and says defends 4 gate like a boss. That whole game seemed more like White-ra playing than Mana. I guess they discussed PvP a bit.


Ah, interesting to know. Still, that's a bit of a gamble, isn't it? Blink stalkers -> get buildings sniped at constantly, 4gate -> defend like a boss - don't know which one is coming.


That's probably the reason for the gas steal I presume? Force single gas, tempt a four gate, tailor your build to handle the 4gate. Nani was doing this kind of thing back in the MLG he won, it's part of how ToD beat Alicia too.


Yeah, sure. It just seems like if your opponent is smart, he'll realize what you're trying to do and react accordingly. Yomi layers, man.

Me and a friend are considering going to Cologne tomorrow, and I figured this was a good place to ask: are the tickets freely available, or are they sold out, and does anyone know what time the SCII finals are played tomorrow?
