EPTI found his PvT really cool though. The idea behind fake aggression while taking a FE and only focusing on SCV's while trading only the tanking zealots for it was quite unique and brilliant. The fast third + double forge seemed a bit risky though but I'm sure he has it worked out and just made a mistake in the game Goody won with his bio push.

I think he has a really great PvT style. The idea of being on the edge of a macro lead whilst just barely defending and mixing in harass play while attempting to stay ahead of your opponent on bases. The only thing I would say is his macro is lacking in many aspects. In game2 of the series the idea behind his 3rd base appeared to me to be correct... but getting to over 1000 minerals when Goody applied pressure, that cost him the game. He needs better crisis macro for sure. | ||

His probe count near the end of games is nothing short of outrageous as well. He had about 85-90 at a number of points. Its like he's Zerg or something! | ||

Poor MC hardest group in HSC4, hardest group in Code S. Who exactly are the two favorites in group A lol? You could say Sound yes, but any of the three other guys can make it out, and I won't even be surprised if Sound doesn't make it tbh. Same for group C, JYP is probably certain, but you never know vs GoOdy, and ClouD has looked quite impressive this tournament. e; And so has ReaL ofcourse, but I'll give you this one, because JYP&ReaL are quite heavy favorites. | ||

Prediction: 1) Grubby 2) Sound 3) Dimaga 4) Darkforce Group B: Stephano's ZvP is as scary as always. I don't see him losing to Socke, while MC seems to think he is an excellent player so he has most likely also studied him and his timings. I think MC has a good chance of beating him. He will also lose to MKP, since he usually does stupid shit in ZvT when he's in a major tournament, like mass roaches vs biomech or, you know, make ultras. Prediction: 1) MC 2) MKP 3) Stephano 4) Socke Group C: Goody in a group with Cloud and 2 Koreans who have probably never even heard of him and his shenanigans. This is gonna be fun. Prediction: 1) JYP 2) Goody 3) Real 4) Cloud Group D: Group of death in my opinion. All players are in excellent shape. No idea who is going to win. Gut prediction: 1) Hero 2) Naama 3) Violet 4) Nerchio | ||

Sound Grubby Sound looks really strong, while Grubby showed great PvZ. Group B : MC MKP Stephano ? (Actualy I would bet on him, but I heard he drank too much last night, so...) Group C : JYP Real I don't trust Cloud's and Goody's TvP enough good to take games from these 2 koreans. Even if I really want more foreigners in final bracket. Group D : Hero Nerchio Tough group, I think all these players can win against all other. And I feel like Naama may surprise. | ||
