I don't know why but I just love CatsPajamas, both as caster and interviewer. He's not too knowledgable, but everything he says is just right! So loveable and cool. He actually seems to do a lot of research. While he doesn't know the intricacies like a pro would, he knows the builds and he can identify them fairly well.
Yeah, even though I hate his stupid handle so much. I want to dislike the guy, but I don't.

Those games are exactly the same as against MKP indeed :/

He is. The irony is, that Squirtle and MMA will meet in their Code S groups.

So much manner from Stephano... But after this run, getting less money here than in LSC I think he will probably stop SC2 in a few weeks. He is definitely not at MMA level and would need too much training to be close to this level.
But I still don't understand all the haters so happy that the last foreigner is out... Koreans domination is so important for those guys? Is it some kind of racist attitude? The worst is with him retiring next september we will only have Huk and Naniwa as foreigners hope. Maybe we will see new players popping with HotS until then it's gonna be korean dominated all the way.
Sase is competitive as well, I would say. But it is indeed a sad prospect, such a talented guy. And I agree, that could very well be the result of this tournament.

MKP took a quick third on this map while MMA is going for a much faster timing

It's really interesting how that one misblink by Squirtle against Nestea completely changed the tournament.

Stephano can't beat either of those players, especially Squirtle. If you truly were a Stephano fan you would know that Stephano cannot beat Squirtle. Stephano has some exceptionally good ZvP, It's stupid to think he can't take out Squirtle.
It's also sad to look for console in huge "IF"s.

Stephano has a better shot vs. Squirtle than Nestea. I said it before and I say it again. Squirtle's PvZ is good, but it's not very different from what other Protosses Stephano has played do - he knows what to do vs. it, Nestea is nothing like that. Nestea beat Parting and Tails yesterday.... Parting is better than any Protoss Stephano has played. Tails is better than any Protoss Stephano has played besides JYP and MC.
Tails played horrible yesterday.
Parting is very good, but he lost 1-2 to Ret in another tournament and wasn't in his best PvZ form this tournament as he was training to be the MKP sniper.

Stephano, HuK, NaNiWa. Yes I think if Huk was in this trounament he would have done really well as too. he was in the tourney. he got eliminated really early. In a loser's final in the open bracket isn't all that early. I would suggest that Sase, Thorzain and Illusion are also quite good we have less than ten quality players who are close to being on a level with the Koreans. I hope that eventually there will be good forgien players in the GSL on their own skill and making deep runs a la Jinro and Huk. Eventually we'll have a GSL winner, I hope. its relative. if you dont get out of the open bracket, i consider that early. Consider the open bracket though, he was top 16 out of 128 which included about half of code S, and Code A most of the top Foreign talent and a lot of no names some of whom it turns out are really good. Decent enough point though, open bracket isn't its own tournament. But I still think Huk easily could have come out and, if he had, he would have done decently in groups. again, i didnt say he didnt do well. i just consider the fact that he didnt make it out of open bracket getting eliminated really early. if you think not getting out of open bracket is not early then thats fine. its just semantics. Fair enough. I would generally consider it early, in this particular tournament I'm not sure I would qualify it as very early. I concede the point to you though, it was early enough.
huk is a beast.

so what is it, 5 terrans in the RO8? Now we're going to be down to 1 soon.

Catspajamas is the new TotalBiscuit. You can't help but like him, even if he seems like a total knob.

Parting's PvZ is severely lacking, by far his worst matchup. I think Stephano would definitely beat him. Squirtle is a different story though, he's pretty solid at the matchup.

True dat. Can't wait to see him tear up code A. I hope he does well enough to qualify for code S, those up/downs were heart breaking.

Who won IPL2?
I know Idra won the first, Stephano the third, and Nestea looks in good position to win this one.
Might it be all Z's?

True, but it generally seems like the same gameplan.
