That concave by Puma was sort of amazing. And I think part of the reason why Socke lost so bad was because he left units at home to defend drops.

I think Socke thinks Puma is way better then him and that´s messing with his mind abit making him play worse. Just as MaNa explained his feelings agaist MC.

Mental game is a huge part of big lans.

Don't let his small stature, his charming dopey eyes, and his innocent smile fool you. This man is a fucken monster.

Upon first meeting him in Korea at the OGS house I thought to myself "eh, nice kid I guess." Over the past year I have seen countless amounts of evidence that has changed my forgoing opinion of him.

The man got chicken-pox or something when he first got to Korea. He had bumps all over his body. Everyone in the OGS house was concerned for him as was I. But he merely said nonchalantly "Yeah I think I should go to the hospital." oGsGon took him to the hospital and upon returning I asked him if he's okay. He replied "Well I didn't understand anything they were saying but yeah I think so." Then he went back to practicing SC2.

The man has carpel tunnel syndrome or something yet he is a SC2 progamer. Like a marathon runner with shin splints. He just keeps running. Or as he once said "No pain no gain."

The man has honor, loyalty, and commitment to his friends and team. He will never change teams no matter what he's offered. TLO has no price.

The man has hordes of girls following him around at MLGs.

Shortly after his chicken-pox healed Spunky and I took TLO and Jinro out to a drinking place in Korea that's very common. The way the place works is we get a room and lots of alcohol then they bring in lineups of girls from which you choose one to be your 'partner.' The girl is just there to pour your drinks and talk and entertain you. Most of them are hot students working to finance their school. A pretty good place to pick-up girls. At this time I still thought TLO was a mere humble nerd. The lineup came in and Spunky and I both instantly chose girls. Jinro manned up and picked a pretty hot girl which I was surprised because most first-timers think it's too awkward and don't want to 'pick.' Respect for Jinro went up. TLO on the other hand was being shy and didn't want to pick. Spunky picked a girl for him and told her to sit next to TLO, though she wasn't as hot as Jinro's girl. Me and Spunky were like "LOL TLO so cute too shy to pick a girl." TLO's girl was to his right, inbetween him and Jinro was Jinro's girl. We start drinking and I'm distracted talking to my girl for like 15 mins.

Suddenly I look up and TLO is sitting there with his right arm around his girl and his left arm around Jinro's girl with a big fucken baller smile on his face.

From that point on I was officially a TLO fanboy.

Seriously, how unprofessional is it to add commercials like these? This is ridiculous. If this is the wat they want to force people to buy a pass, then somethings REALLY wrong.

"how unprofessional is it for them to get money back from the viewers for hosting such a big tournament"
they dont take YOUR money XD

They're random, probably depending on the time you tune in.

Adblocker for Chrome is just inferior to Adblocker for Firefox. I switch to Firefox when I watch streams for extended periods of time because there are no stream ads at all.

Korean protoss have all switched to Chargelot/armor upgrades/HT/archon. Europeans are behind the curve, they are still using colossus builds which the korean terrans have already "solved". You won't beat Puma using a colossus build unless he makes a huge error...

Chargelot/armor upgrades/HT/archon is exactly the style Socke has used this entire tournament except in the 2nd game vs. Puma.
