Wow, poor Lyn. Went 7-0 in his group only to get knocked out 3-0 in Ro8.
Anyway, hoping LoveCD takes it. I don't know why, but I haven't really been impressed by Loner from the little that I saw him in NSL.

Thanks a lot for writing this up digmouse! This is the first proper live-report thread that's been done for NSL (although starfinder's threads have been much appreciated!).
Heading over to his restream now, even though I live in China I can't get the original stream to work.

He had forced a lift on the third base, and all he had to do was fall back and take a third of his own. Instead, he tried to force his way up a ramp into a concave, losing his zealots before they could even engage. I've become a huge LoveCD fan over the course of watching this tournament(even though I despise Protoss, his style is pretty nice) and this really disappoints me. I might be an egotistical platinum leaguer, but even I think I saw the right play there.
Yes I agree with you on that, he should just wait for 1 minute or 2, with +1 Armor and Charge and a better engagement he might straight out kills Loner with superior firepower.

LoveCD playing great in the 2nd game.

I'd just like to point out that the commentators deserve some love here too. In the Chinese tournaments I've watched in the past I wasn't particularly impressed, but these guys are pretty good.

It would, but it's really hard for them to get visas. Just imagine the difficulties that guys like BratOK or Dimaga sometimes have to go through, and multiply that by several times for Chinese players =/

it's big, probably they don't have mics in it or the audience is quiet.

Grats to LoveCD.
He thanked his family, particularly his brother Sky, and his girlfriend. Said because of his brother he has a lot of pressure to perform, so he's really thankful he was able to win.
Season 1 was great. Looking forward to even more from season 2

Looking forward to next season.
