Unfortunately today won't leave a good impression regarding balance to new fans in Korea.

I should add that I personally don't see a major problem(!).

These are the first SC2 games played in a tournament by these players. THE VERY FIRST ONES.

going from bw terran to sc2 terran is probably the biggest change in style

Especially when it comes to TvP. The matchup is SO different compared to bw TvP.

Jangbi played good. He has skills in SC2 for sure. I am so happy!

However, I wonder what will happend when he meets MVP that doesn't let you go deathball with no rush 20 minutes?

Why are people posting crap like this? Obviously their decision making is going to be off, with so little time devoted to SC2 as well as having to split attention with BW. Look at their mechanics, their macro looks great, their micro is very good. They seem to already use obs/deny obs better than current SC2 pros. SC2 pros trying to play BW would look 100x more hilarious than this.

Go and read the elephant article and see the outlanding claims it makes. I for one am on the camp that it isn't that easy as the BW-elitists are making it sound.

It's just one man's opinion though, it certainly doesn't reflect the attitude of the entire BW community.

ROFL XD this is actually like watching the first season of GSL

were you even around for first season of gsl?
the games were bad, but in a totally different sense. should be glad that there is at least a good level of macro and micro


Yes i was, but comparativley, compared to how much hype these BW pros were getting to be destroyers over everything not-BW, these guys are playing, very, very, sub-par.
I would, in fact rather watch the first season of GSL than this, atleast that was vaugley entertaining, this is just like watching to very mediocer players battle it out. Not intresting in the slightest. But this is just my opinion

you are being very very critical considering that they have to still play at a top level on two games that are pretty mechanically different on top of different strategies

some of these guys are still playing in the OSL which is a bw only tournament, of course they're not going to be able to play at 100% because they can't completely focus on one game

the more they play the better they'll be


I know, and i understand that, and i really cant wait for them to reach the level when there play is actually decent, because then thee micro and multitasking will excell. However if you look at all the hype they have got going up to this, people should have just taken it with a pinch of salt and not made claims like "OMG BW PR0s GONNA OWWWWN" Since it is a new game, and it is NOT as easy as people claim

that article is a year old and the level of play back then was terrible, it doesn't apply anymore.

it is kind of "normal" that protoss wins almost every game. it's a lot easier to learn the basics of protoss compared to terran/zerg but as soon as they play on a certain level it will even out.

lol.. Such a biased opinion. The level of play here is much higher than early seasons of GSL, that's not even subjective. Remember San blocking his own expo with a pylon? Remember TheBestFou banshees? Just last night we saw Squirtle rally his first immortal into MVP's base. I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but these games are an indication that once these guys fully devote their attention to SC2, we are going to see some extraordinary play.

In my limited SC2 experience it almost feels like the matchup flows in the opposite direction of how it does in BW. Terran feels like they need to take the role of the Protoss from the BW matchup in terms of how and when to engage, and how to fight around armies, etc. and Protoss takes the more defensive style of the Terran in the BW TvP matchup

Agreed, tho i didn't seen Effort


Effort was okay. I don't agree that he was amazing as everyone said, he was just really greedy and Flash didn't do anything to stop him, so he eventually just ran over him.

The ace match with Effort in wasn't great (he lost) but I think that's just inexperience about brood lord/infestor timings.

You need to actually read what intrigue wrote though, because his point seems to have been long lost...



In fact, some of these games now are already better than most of the games that were seen back when the article was written. I don't know why people love quoting that article as if SC2 has not developed for the entire time since.
