I'm having tonnes of fun theorycrafting who should be sent out when and in which game, this is great :D As someone who doesn't understand BW that well, having English commentators to explain shit helps, and then it's fun to see the new guys in SC2. I actually really like this format so far.

Best seemed pretty solid. Jaedong had an ok game. Brilliant mechanics but lousy decision making. Seemed like he didn't know what he was doing and was just trying to max out and attack everywhere.

SKT Protoss look pretty good, but their Team 8 opponents looked like random Masters players. We need more games to see

best looked ok i guess
they seem like they know some builds but dont really understand how to react to things. micro/macro seem pretty decent.

Probably mid->high korean masters with great mechanics and iffy decisionmaking

Why? Both will kill foreigners :D
nah man, what we saw from JD... pfft. not impressed.
and best "i didnt know what i was doing i just dropped like in BW".
Erm... they just started playing serious SC2. I have no doubts OSL koreans will kill foreigners very very soon
MLG anaheim's OSL koreans tournament is going to be very nice, I'd expect to see them playing a lot better by then
If you think in terms of game understanding. One guy executed an ancient timing and the other guy failed and then had no idea what to do,
They're miles behind in game understanding, is my point.
Immortal all-in is not an anicent timing. In fact its very popular right now and is killing lots of top zergs. Even elfi beat stephano with it in 1 game in a recent dreamhack.

"who do we have next week, should we have Jaedong playing SC2 this week so he can play BW against this player next week"
I know its a pain for the players, but as a spectator I kind of like it ^^
But as a spectator you get half-quality games, because they can't fully prepare for one game or the other.
Well the players could rotate their play schedules....Now the dong has played his sc2 match, they could rest him next week to give him 2 weeks of solid BW practice...then after that game give him another 2 weeks of solid practice etc...
