Korean vs foreigner bias aside, I'm happy Keen lost. I don't really root for people to lose but Keen is the only exception. Why Keen? What have he done? He insulted my mother and hit my kitten with a mousepad, that's why I hate him at least.
Nah I really dislike his playstyle and attitude. His interviews pre-DH, his matches vs Squirtle, floating the buildings on Cloud Kingdom etc. I don't mind play-to-win (I love MVP's play) but Keen just makes for unenjoyable games to watch. All the time.

OK bye. Cyto is a boss, and has been playing quite well so far. And ffs, Taeja never joined the teamhouse and all he wanted to do was join a foreign team so he could attend more tournies, idk how you pull betraying out of that situation. Your post is truly disgusting.

WTF.. He played well throughout the tournament.. he did bad the last game, but let's not get carried and try to extrapolate it to all his previous games...

Kas is a tournament player.. He could have gone far (yes even further than Taeja/Keen).. And even more important, I bet he played all those europeans at least 20 times on ladder last season.. Don't belittle Kas goddammit!

Argh, Keen

Ya, I only root for Stephano to lose! ^^ <3
Edit: I would of guessed that there would be at least 4 Koreans in the Round of 16 and at least 2-3 in the Round of 8, sadly that won't happen TT. I mean Daisy, Vampire, and Dragon aren't that amazing but I did expect more from Puma and JYP so not the biggest suprise at least that what I think.

there are also only 4 terrans in the round of 16 in the current OSL, does that mean bw is imbalanced? Terran has been doing badly since the patch everywhere.
Current Code S
Mvp 2-1 SuHoSin Happy 2- 0 SuHoSin SuperNoVa 2-1 Sniper
With only Nestea winning so far. Terrans having some adjustment problems for sure, but badly everywhere is overstating the facts. Apparently they can still win

Brat-Ok is playing horendeously and making wierd mistakes. He supposedly watched the replay and thats why went for blue flame, but nerchio had ROACHES by that timing EVERY game of tvz he played at dreamhack. so that was just throwing away early game They both look very tense and make many small mistakes. This match is very exciting, but not played on the players' highest level. How is what Brat-Ok did a small mistake, he went for the build that gets DIRECTLY countered by Nerchios standard opening. Infact Nerchio did this opening in every tvz i watched. Brat-Ok threw away game 2 (going with tanks against Broodlords that he has SEEN) and now gave away game 3,

Korean vs foreigner bias aside, I'm happy Keen lost. I don't really root for people to lose but Keen is the only exception. Why Keen? What have he done? Its probably because of Keen bunker rushing Squirtle twice, a risky and ballsy move that worked out in his favor also thanks to Squirtle botching the defense badly. But heck I guess some people just can't learn to deal with it. Anyway, Cytoplasm vs Mana, on Daybreak, hopefully it won't take too long until some action happens. That actually made me like Keen even more, have people really forgotten how cheesy of a player Squirtle is?

Now Stephano vs Nerchio. Many people seem to grant Nerchio an auto-win but I thing if he's favoured at all, it is by the smallest margin. Stephano has way, way, way more stage experience and you could see how tense Nerchio was already. You don't wan't to be tense in a zvz... Its weird that people favor Nerchio so much. 2-3 months ago Nerchio almost ragequitted when he played vs Stephano. Its Stephano weakest matchup now but it isnt really that bad. I think its a cointoss.
Well when you see Stephano play ZvZ you can see sometimes he's not sure what to do and will drone or build army at the wrong times, only his amazing mechanics and micro pushes him through.
But as stardog said, the tournament experience and the fact that he stays calm might very well work in his favor.

If there is something people will never learn, and even stephano fans apparently, it's to never count stephano out, I'm not saying he is going to win, but people are acting like it's already over...

Wheat,
That's actually a very old strategy borrowed from BW (templar halc. arbiters to protect the recall so it's successful). -_-

If players like Keen, Thorzain and Brat_OK are out already, I doubt Kas could have advanced even more. I know he is good and I respect his work ethic, but he would have simply be destroyed by the swarms of zergs and protosses left over.

Links to tourney results where kas or luci have out performed puma or thorzain in the last year? The gathering is where i think Lucifron 4:0'd thorzain. But I'm not a fan of neither so dont know all the results myself. I'm sure there's another fan who can point you in the right direction.
