Just a suggestion after I read someone wrote asdf on the predictions spoiler:
Maybe one of these days, you should do a FXO publicity thing where you get thoughts from different FXO players each day whom they think will win each round of GSL. I'd personally love to hear their opinions since they're pros whom know each other and I'm sure lots of people would read them. haha.

Yes, starting in ~30 mins.
Also click the "Hype" tabs for stats/funny stuff ^^
Ugh, Sage played soooo badly there. Nothing to spot the army coming, didn't spread units and let 3 sentres + 1 immortal get hit with a single EMP, and gives away so many sentries. Disappointing play as a Sage fan to say the least.
edit: nvm the vod is already up, I assumed it wouldn't be up untill the current broadcast ended but it looks like they restarted the stream at some point.

Wow, that was really good. I much prefer that to the almost pure muta that some people play. He had about 15 to clean up drops, and everything else went into ling bling.

I don't know what Jinro was doing though. Mass Marine/Tank/Medivac and then... squat in the middle of the map and wait for Hyun to come to him from 2 angles?

As far as I could see Jinro had a bunch of marines and a few tanks defending his third. Split army vs collected force. By the time he got things back together the damage was pretty much done.

I think he was preparing to take his 4th at that middle base? His army was pretty small though.

His PvT isn't good.
And forGG honestly wasn't that great @ BW when he switched, I don't know why everyone keeps acting like he's Jaedong or Flash; he had somewhat recent success, but he was at like a 30-40% win-rate in the later part of 2010.
Jinro had the right idea for that map as TvZ, but his timing was delayed due to Hyun's early zergling pressure while his hellions and banshees did absolutely nothing.
SaSe is playing a beautiful game thus far. The one engagement near Fin's third wasn't all that great but his switch afterwards into Collosus (from 3x Robo) got him back into the game.

Yeah Hyun's offensive style of zerg is really interesting and fun to watch. He just swarmed over the terran defense line like it was the campaign.
What an absolutely absurd amount of ling baneling. Seemed like exactly the right thing to punish Jinro's passive style. 63 banelings morphed at a time though, jesus. Hyun's macro is pretty good
I really like the way that Hyun plays, he seems to have his own style which is what I was hoping that some of the bw players would bring over. If he manages to improve his injects he will be very scary, his creep spread is already fantastic. Love that he got 180 lings then morphs a third of them into banes to roll over Jinro from 2 angles, very nice engagement.
