Are waiting for David Kim to nerf llate game P like he nerfed ghosts.


Jinro is very high level. Anything he wins with on high masters/gm korea ladder is probably viable. Your post was condescending, ignorant, and rude.



No, what he said was not rude. Did he blast Jinro there? No. He simply stated these guys are on a WHOLE different level. There is a massive difference between what would work for Jinro at his level and what would work in the RO4 GSL. I realize he made it there a year ago, but lets be realists here- Does anyone seeing Jinro taking a game off DRG in a BO7? No way. As of now, Terran is like Toss at the time of the 1-1-1: Not experimental enough. Within a couple months, buffs or not, my race will be powerful again, but without innovation, a race can not and will not compete.

Woohoo! This is going to be an awesome finals. These two are so evenly matched it's ridiculous. Glad they beat their respective opponents so the final won't be a rout (I hope).

Holy shit Genius. And is this not like the third ever GSL finals to have had no Terrans, and the fourth in which there is a Protoss?

Hell yeah. I fully expect this finals to be epic.


third ZvP plus 1 ZvZ , fourth time with Protoss in a final seems right.

I hope Genius is not going to make a series of 2 base timing push...Because even if he wins that way, this is going to send a depressing message to all Protoss players.

I'm really eager to discover something new and able to deal cost-efficiently with BL/Infestors/Corruptors/mass spine in the lategame...

I mean cost-efficiently given that Zerg is usually ahead in terms of bases !
I mean something not relying on the Zerg messing up and not mind-controlling the mothership or putting all his broodlords in a maelstrom... You know what I mean...

If genius doesn't do it, who will ?? Maybe Hero ... or mb Grubby ;D

One of the key things I've noticed is just how different Genius' play is from MC's. I used to love MC (and I still do), but his play seems just terribly cheesy by comparison. Genius plays smoothly, has fantastic, FANTASTIC micro, and plays a long game better than any other Protoss right now. I'm really interested to see how his PvZ is at this point, I may have to dig through GOM's old VODs and look for replays!

Yup. All 3 of which were roflstomps.

Hopefully, this non-Terran final will be close

MC's PvT is pretty "cheesy" (by which I assume you mean all-inish), but none of his recent PvZ series have been noteably all-inish (read: more than 1 all-in in a Bo3 or Bo5) at all - not at HSC or in GSL. And PvP... is PvP.

Genius is similar but less all-inish in PvT. He does different all-ins - MC favours 2base Gateway heavy pushes, Genius prefers 3gate VR. Whatever floats your boat. We hardly got to see a good MCvT or an MCvZ this GSL - he was in a completely different league to Ganzi, Parting was a PvP, he had just come back from winning HSC when he played the Ro32.

I think it's safe to say that Genius is playing significantly better than MC this GSL, but it's far too early to make general statements about style. The old "MC is a cheesy player" is just that: old and outdated. Saying that MC is just a cheesy player is like saying that all Genius does is VR all-ins - patently false and quite laughable.

Lol Seeker. I don't think you need the extra spoiler "only click if you truly wish to know". Most people have been clicking on those overall spoilers for months (if not years) and just want to just quickly know the results.

Anyway keep up the good work.

MC vs July.
First one that shouldn't be terrible. Even if it's a domination from one side, the games should be amazing, we already know that these 2 players completely deserve to be here.

I just watched genius vs alive game 2 and man that void ray control was actually really really good. I did not expect him to win that game at all.
