He is a manager for SK, was the orga for the old WC3 squad for example.

Probably minimal. We're going straight into the second semifinal.

The last time I checked, 3 minutes late Nexus without punishment, and you would lose to diamond players who 1A colossus.


You don't understand PvP at a high level.
The tiniest things can give away SO much, and yes, mindgames are also very important in PvP.


Really?
Mana confirmed it himself, he was just too afraid of cheese to move out/expand. MC used his reputation to win the metagame.

The game he DID go 1base allin, he should've won, if he didn't panic and made an assimilator instead.


I disagree with this, it wasn't a gamble to expand because MC knew the timings of when the Stalker would come out. He stuck his probe around long enough to see that Mana took a second gas and knew that wouldn't be a 4 gate.

MC looks like a beast. calling a 3-0 final against socke who wins 3-2
Things are laid back in Unidenland. And may the road ahead be lid with dreams and tomorrows. Which are lid with dreams. Also.

3-0 for PuMa, I was right everytime. Korean vs Foreigner is just too easy to bet on.

I really hope for a closer series between Puma and Socke. I feel that if Socke wins, MC will take the tournament, but if Puma wins, Puma will take it (Korean terrans > MC).

Even if he made an assimilator there's no way he would've won that first game, only draw.

Mana confirmed that he's not as confident, essentially saying he is more afraid of a strong 1 base timing than MC is. That is an indirect part of being a good player. To be confident in your play and to know when to take risks to get ahead, especially in PvP.

Also in your original post you said the guy with the earlier expo can just 1a with colossus, when MC didn't even go colossus until the last game, and even then he had a smaller count at the final engagement.

If it's 4K euros, it's even more.

Not sure if the prize is in $ or € though.

now Puma will smash Socke since his PvT aint the best, and after that Puma will smash MC since his PvT is definitely his worst matchup as of late.

Mana won against Puma and Socke casted his games, so I'm not sure who will win.
