He's probably referring to gatored having like 4 unites queued up in his robo....I'm not going to take anything away from him. Great piece of execution from Gatored | ||

No but really, finally time for a top Korean to get cheesed by one of our lesser known players (as far as global recognition goes). Happens all the time to our top pros.  | ||

Gatored won deal with it and give the man his credit | ||

People have been doing both builds forever. He had a robo >> warp prism...There was also hardly any stalkers. It's not revolutionary but I dont think people have been doing that forever. | ||

When my favorite player loses I rage too, but try not to bring it into the live report, it's annoying. | ||

We make forcefield then defense it? On topic: I think the way he played it out it was a semi all-in. If he doesnt do a substantial amount of damage he probably gets rolled (though with that large a cloud of pheonix, he could hold a lot of stuff), but he also prob could have gotten a 3rd a couple of mins faster after doing damage in the main and been 3 base vs 2-3 base. | ||

That's calculated and smart. The negative stigma of "all-in" needs to go away or foreigners are never going to win shit... | ||

I love the interview with Carmac and his understanding of pushing the SCII competition by open tournaments and his thoughts about the diversity of tournaments! I hope I can see some games tomorrow | ||

And he had fantastic army positioning when he went to take out DRG's third. | ||
