Wow, very nice and calculated play from Supernova, really didn't expect the game to go like that. I think 99% of terrans would've rushed in to try and kill Leenock in one final attack after taking such a hit to their economy, but Supernova saw that there was a more methodical, economic way to victory. Very well played.

Little dissapointed that Leenock would make such a blunder though, didn't really like his huge attack into the natural/main, and then the baneling follow up on the planetery was painful. I guess he thought he was further ahead than he really was.

Really awesome series between Leenock and Supernova. Well played by both parts, and very small margins and decisions decided those games, though Leenock's counter in the third game was a bit of a blunder.

I love how both the play and production in the GSL just get incrementally better every season. Was doubtful if a year ticket was worth it, but I'm happy I bought one.

Is there no way Leenock will lose to either MC or ForGG??

I am rooting for ForGG!

I hope MC wins against ForGG because out of the two MC is more likely to beat Leenock.

If he's on two bases (hard to take 3rd), he just macros to 200/200 with Collosi +blink stalker armor and all-ins. Otherwise, he pretty much goes for the same, but with storms.

How do you all-in at 200/200 with Collosi + blink stalker + armor?

Supernova's been a really consistent Terran in Code S for a long time. Always knew he was top tier but now I think this might be the season he makes a deep run.

It all depends on his Ro16 group, so it's hard to tell right now but he does have first so he should get an easy first win at least.

SuperNova is really good. There was a reason I picked him to win November. He has strong macro play and can cheese when need be. His Brood War background is also a big bonus to his mechanics.

Hopefully he puts everything together and can go to the quarterfinals or above.

Supernova's decision making in that last game was just so much better than Leenock's.
I cringe every time zergs roll banelings into OCs/PFs when the game is somewhat even.

I have a feeling MC is gonna win the next two series so I can go 0/3 for Liquidbets for the day.

Oh man supernova is a BOSS damn that guy is good. Korean terrans are soo damned good its really amazing to see how they control a race as difficult to use as terran and own so hard.

Go MC!

He had one orbital left alive. It was the fact that leenock traded waaaay too much army when he was low on resources, so he got contained for SO long the superior worker count didn't matter since he had nothing to actually mine.
