The foreigner bias is strong with this one. They probably referred to best in the world outside of korea. It's kinda impossible to refer to best zerg without even considering DRG.

The foreigner bias is strong with this one. He said top Europeans, and then he said that he was talking about players like Nerchio and Stephano who can compete with the best in the world.

Yeah, they were talking about best foreign zerg, they very clearly stated that.
Unfortunately I think it takes more than two decent games against supernova to throw these statements around.

Killer always shows solid play at these IEM tournaments, but why do we see him play so rarely?
|
Killer should just bane bust SN =)

He would have been at the last IEM but had about two days of flying and still couldn't get to Kiev due to two seperate visa issues, the first occured when he was already in europe and he had to go all the way home to fix it.

Looks kinda weird when a slow baneling can outrun a banshee...given that the banshee actually flies :D
|
Wow, how did Supernova get 1/1, Cloaked Banshees and 3 bases so fast?
|
This is a beautiful build by supernova tho.

For this tournament we held the qualifiers with this mappol and we don't just change the mappool between qualifiers and the actual event. What we did do (compared to IEM Kiev) is change Antiga to the current GSL version (no gold, no close spawn) and change Metalopolis to no longer have a gold expansion. All players I talked to were okay with gold expansions on The Shattered Temple (even Zerg players).
I understand that our mappool isn't ideal but the players here are actually okay with it. Please don't make it a bigger deal than it actually is and enjoy the games instead.

dKiller just has 0 chance on this map ....
|
fuck rotationally symmetric maps
|
3 really bad maps for dkiller and still pressing supernova to the limit. Very impressive.

After this one @robpsimpson jumps in as a commentator \o/ #IEM #CPBR5 esl.tv

its just frustrating when u see that dKiller has a good chance vs supernova on better maps
|
That drop kill instantly brought back killer into the game.

hi shawn! :D good to see you are aware of the issue
honestly i do think that organizations tend to overvalue static mappools for long seasons, it was the same with mlg last year which led to xel naga caverns being in the pool at the finals in november
i really think all players and viewers would be more than fine if you made changes for the better more frequently

again with supernova over 1000 minerals for several minutes...

That was a spine tingling scream from the crowd.
