Sen was absolutely mauled by Jjakji.
Against Boxer, Sen had an overwhelming position in set1 and managed to lose it. Set2 was closer but Sen never looked like winning. I feel he will crash out of the GSL in the ro48.
I think he'll be fine if he doesn't hit a Terran. His ZvT is pretty mediocre. Not IdrA's ZvP level of bad, but maybe close to it. His ZvZ's strong, and his ZvP's decent when he's not just massing roaches and throwing them at the opponent. He's a terrifying macro player when he gets it going and when he doesn't decide to make ultras. He got probably the worst group possible with two very strong TvZ players and a decent-but-still-Terran third player.
Anyways, on a different topic altogether, most of the Koreans actually like to see foreigners in the GSL even when they bomb out 9/10 times. It's only in the foreigner community that you'll see people complaining about how the Koreans must be so bitter about missed opportunities, etc., when it's not at all the case, as far as I can tell. If they don't see the problem, then honestly what's the big deal?

It's probably similar to how when our "foreign" events were just starting up people were begging for Koreans to join to complete the field and show the highest level of play at the time. I guess Koreans want some foreigners in the tournament to keep things fresh as well as solidifying the fact that they're not on the same level.

I wish he would have moved that starport back earlier or made a viking to sent home... Ah well Boxer played really well today, every game he lost could have gone either way and he was ahead at some point. Other than that already 2/16 terran, atleast this time around it's good terrans.
Damn so close Boxer! T_T Well, I'm pretty sure most people expected Jjakji and Ganzi to advance, but it would have been awesome for at least Sen to put up a fight.

and most of them think the best scenario is MKP Idra final where MKP wins first 3 and lose next 4. So foreigner community explode and MKP 'wins' another 2nd place.
It doesn't look legit I know but if they dont care, why should we? For me, I got hell alot more excited because Sen was there last night.
Boxer was so close, if he doesn't land the viking or his hellions get in before the depot comes up.... Expected Sen to go 0-4 but thought he would play better. Aside from the first half of his first game against boxer (and it could be argued that was more boxer's bad decision making than Sen doing anything) his play was poor all night. He was way too hesitant to make moves and fell apart to any kind of multitask. If he plays like he did last night in Code A ro48 I expect a quick and deserved exit for him.
