Welcome to the Korean StarLeague! The KSL is sponsored by own3d.tv and can be viewed as an European event series that features the Korean Pro-Teams. From Monday to Thursday there will be a single player competition. Each of the 8 Pro-Teams will send out one player and they will play each other in a single-elimination tournament-style bracket. All of the games will be best of three. The winning player receives a $100 prize, with $50 going to the runner-up! Friday through Sunday there will be team-matches, which will use a Winner's League format, with the winning team taking home a prize of $200!
khaldor, i just wanna say that you are an absolute hero for the amount of work you are putting in!! i fucking love your casting and am pumped to watch some more KSL today :D :D <3
yeah man i saw the game, that's why i was laughing :D i agree, 74 drones on 2 bases is insane but the way you were remarking it was incredibly hilarious. i did not laugh so hard for a cast in a while, so good job on that :D

Would make sense, paid off super well for Losira vs Sculp. Terrans get a bit complacent about scouting when they think they've had map control with hellions for a while it seems.
Fairy looks pretty good now he's got going, he was very shaky in the first game but he's looked a lot more stable in the last two. TheStC still in a nice position though with such good upgrades on a maxed army, just needs to keep denying hatches fora bit and survive through the initial broodlord attack.
Maybe he's going on auto mode. Broodlord to ultra can be good depending on how the terran react to the ultras. Some zergs do this switch more out of habit than anything.

Haha, yes! I was just thinking that too :-p "I'm sorry, Fairy, but you had your chance and now it's just not going to happen." I love Khaldor, I hope he stays with Gom permanently.

Fairy played really well in the last two games. HoSeo seem to be unveiling new talents all the time. <3

It only cost him 4 seconds or so of attacking.;
It could have though. You can't repair buildings that are under construction and MarineKing had NO marines in his base, and his barracks didn't land in time. At the very least, Life could have done huge amounts of economic damage.

I was wondering more about that goat in front of those zerglings than the dancing to be honest.

you mad?
Why would I be?
Just pointing out that dancing didnt make him lose the game as the casters are making it out to be.
i don't know man on 1-2 day of this KSL our thread is good no one QQ about Balance or Caster everyone enjoy to watch this tour but what we got here ?? (some1 who enjoy to QQ)

NesTea vs MarineKing speaks for itself.
Given the game we just watched was mkp opening with 2 proxy rax and trying to bunker wall in the zerg I thought that spoke for itself too =p
MKP is like Puma on roids when it comes to mixing up hyper-aggression and hyper-greed.
Also, I really hope Life's account isn't going to be his new name. Though it would be kind of funny if the whole Zenex team starts playing under girls names I guess xD
~~~
Nice crisis management from marineking, would have been interesting if Life saw the scv transfer to the third and just rolled his banelings in there instead of trying to bust the nat.

I have no problem with you thinking I'm bad, but please tell me why! No way i can be better without knowing what I'm doing wrong, thanks!
You have a ton of Zerg bias, which is understandable as you play Zerg... but it gets quite annoying as the game goes on. Also, you tend to talk over Khaldor and have tendencies to insult players. You have good analysis though

Your casting's really good with some deep level analysis though a few times, you and khaldor are like parallel lines, never touching on the same subject. I think you just have to let khaldor lead the cast more (hes more of the colour commentator type) and you throw in your insights at more appropriate times.

This! I actually think you're improving pretty quickly, though. Thought your casting was pretty good yesterday.
Wow, crazy unit switch to win the game, suiciding an army basically to do it. No siege tanks really hurt though. Monster winning in a very unorthodox way there.

He probably had a recently rallied ghost hotkeyed with his units or something, then when he mashed EMP desperately while being stuck in that choke he did it enough that the rallied ghost also received the command so it just walked up and EMP'd where the army had been about 20 seconds earlier lol

It's Taiwanese, because it's tough to get a Korean Bnet account if you're not a Korean citizen. Since the Taiwanese merger with the Korean server, it's much easier to use a Taiwanese version.
Khaldor, stop calling MKP stupid. Who except for Choya ever gets Blink at that point in the game. MKP would have been able to get two medivacs into the main as Choya's stalkers were busy with the factory.

Err, it's pretty popular for Toss to go blink first nowadays vs Terran :O
Good engagement for Marineking thanks to Choya's templar being too far behind, otherwise storm would have massacred so much.

To be fair though, if casters want to call players stupid, they should very well accept being called the same when they are wrong or make mistakes.
It is just not good for anyone if that is part of a caster's repertoire; as a one off if the blunder is gigantic perhaps, but calling out players in that manner just makes me at least enjoy the cast a hell of a lot less.
MKP takes another KSL. Well played, Choya is definitely still good, macro is very impressive if not his engagements. Can't wait for tomorrow <3 Khaldor don't ever change :D

I have to say, I had NEVER seen Khaldor cast before I heard he was going to the GSL, and since then he's become one of my favorite casters. He's right up there with Doa and Apollo for me.

You keep track of the scores when I sleep in on the weekends XD
Plus, you've been doing the GSL ones, so you get credit for that too.

I like your taste. Gotta add Wolf thought.
Dolf used to be my favorite casting combo. It fell just short of Wolf + qxc. Hopefully Doa meshes well with the IPL casting crew.

I am sure he will. He was great together with Cats at IPL 3.
