I will enjoy SaSe getting rushed in this upcoming game. I am amused though at people liking game 3 SaSe vs Polt. Cheese is a part of the game (I personally am of the opinion that there is no such thing as cheese) but cheese does not make a great game.

Hilarious how they called it "MKP was too greedy." DRG had a faster 3rd base, same double upgrades, more drones. Basically he had everything MKP had but faster and easier. Then his army was 185 supply vs 135 supply and rolled over for the ez win.


That is because Terran needs to harrass Zerg, or Zerg will go unchecked...

...oh wait, didn't Blizzard take away every way to harrass Zerg, tough luck .

Everyone is apparently forgetting MKP went for a proxy 2rax and failed....

He lost that game from 3 minutes in.


Yes, because that is about the only way for Terran to put on pressure. Flipping a coin, win or lose...No way to harrass. That is what I am saying Dude !!!

Sase's PvZ actually looked extremely strong against leenock.

Not that I expect Stephano to lose, his ZvP is impeccable, but it might be closer than we think.

I hate this so much, if I want some stupid cheeze shit, I play on ladder, I tune in to major tournaments to see epic games

I really don't know how can anyone cheer for this. I know it's a foreigner pride, or some shit, but it's just sad...

it's the anti-ESPORTS


Allins are a part of the game and they have been for forever. A variety of strategies make this game exciting.

Allins are part of the game yes, I have no problem with a timed allin

cannon-ruch, however, is pretty much the lowest form of play, right next to 6pool. It has no place in such a big tournament
what is it next time? probe-rush Stephano?


It was a strategy that exploited polts greedy play.


Exactly. BTW cannon rushing pretty much only works against a toss. If it works against a top level zerg/terran then there was something off in their game.

i really cant see drg losing -if stephano makes it to the finals zvz is his worst matchup and drg is hardly weak zvz infact his pretty amazing.
Sase and MKP both lost 2 - 0 so would be 0 - 2 down straight away (which would also suck and kill all hype for the final)
Puma is doing okay but i really cant see drg losing to a terran his creep spread is so good and its taking terrans so long to get to a zergs base or risk unsieging then just losing everything .. and alica .. zvp is just really retarded if you cant kill the zerg outright with a immortal timing or warp prisim drop youll lose since late game is virtually un winnable due to spines and infestors and gglords, and drgs mutli tasking is out of this world will attack everywhere at once

Ok, here is what's going to happen (Maybe ). Sase is gonna beat Stephano 2 - 1. Puma is gonna beat Alicia 2 - 0. Puma is gonna beat Sase 2 - 1. DRG is going to beat Puma whatever - 0! You heard it here first (and only here, probably )


Except Puma would play MKP before DRG

Does MLG still have the retarded extended series shit?

I bet MKP makes it back to the finals


ofc not mlg sc2 without extended series


It's the only way to make a fair double elim format. Everyone can lose a series without getting eliminated, and this surely includes DRG who went through the entire upper bracket undefeated. In a single elim he would be already have won, so it's only fair that he has an advantage in the finals, in that he too can essentially lose a series in the extended series without getting elimintaed. It's the only way to make terms even for everyone in a double elim.



Double elim is not the same as extended series

Yes it is in MLG if the players have met before.


Extended series is the winer of the previous series starts ahead in a B07/9.

Double elim is the person coming from the lower bracet has to win 2 series while the one comeing from the upper bracket only has to win one.

They are not the same thing at MLG. They are both present at MLG but they are not the same thing

People are seriously bashing SaSe for that? What he did took absolute balls of steel. He cannon rushed one of the best terrans in the world in the elimination game. And it was additionally brilliant because he knows Polt goes for that greedy opener over and over again.

This is one of the reasons why the Korean pros seem so far ahead of foreigners, because they take risks like this to beat opponents. That's why MVP beat Parting, he knew that if he let Parting macro up he'd get squashed, so he threw him off with rushes and weird timings. If Polt was so greedy he couldn't stop a cannon rush in the match where it's at it's weakest then he deserved to lose the shit out of that game.


It's not really bashing, it's just stupid that a player that clearly has better mechanics ,macro, decision making, and EPM can lose to a cheesy strategy used by people in gold league..


If that's the case, then he shouldn't do his 14cc build every time. SaSe's decision making in that match was way better than Polt's. He tried to FFE and then saw what Polt was doing and took advantage of it. Polt did basically the greediest opening possible in that match - SaSe SHOULD take advantage of that - otherwise he's just giving Polt the lead. Polt lost that game because of poor strategizing on his part, not because SaSe's a cheesy all-in noob, which is what many people are portraying him as.

And yeah, if I were a big Polt fan, I'd be bummed cause it's a shitty way to go out, but by no means is it's SaSe's fault for taking advantage in that situation.

Exactly, Flash cheeses Bisu, he gets worshipped. Sase cheeses Polt, he gets burned at the stake.

Double standards TL, not cool.


Well I'm sure you went through everyones post history and determined that it was the same people worshipping flash that expressed disgust at sase.
I am probably mistaken in thinking that with a relatively large and diverse community people would have different opinions.

Looking just at the foreigners who played in the championship bracket it doesn't look too bad when it comes to foreigners beating Koreans. I mean this is quite impressive:

(Thorzain: Clide)
Grubby: Golden, Dream
Suppy: Killer, Select (I guess he counts?)
Socke: Heart, Oz, DongRaeGu
Stephano: Alicia, Rain, Polt, Ganzi, JYP
Sase: Heart, Violet, Rain, Leenock, Sleep, Polt

Really nice to see so far. And Sase's run is even more impressive as he also beat strong foreigners like Socke, Grubby or Beastyqt.
