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  No Zerg that is code S level has played his matches yet aside from Curious. Seriously, da fuck do people bring up Line and Sniper? LOL Just look at the GSTL. GIGABYTE top 4 being Z doesn't even mean much as the skill level was drastically skewed in favor of the zergs there.
They qualified to code S so obviously they are code s

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. What's wrong with his interviews? He's been pretty humble in recent ones.

True, the patch had an impact, but its still really short-lived. I wonder if the top tier player can evolve a new strategy that will restore the balance. One thing is for sure, if protoss and zerg are the only ones reaching end-rounds of tournaments over the span of a couple of months - there probably will be another patch

Mana has worked on his PvZ. Full time pro paying off

Really nice micro from Mana. Targetted those mutas while kiting well.

Nerchio's already beaten Stephano once this tournament, right?

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? I agree, that made me like him even more, but it was sort of a polarizing effect, some people hated it, some loved it.
I don't mind squirtle losing to it (amazing stuff psychologically even) but it's just not enjoyable to watch his games. Not just his games vs squirtle btw.
His interview before DH was pretty arrogant as well. Most other players at least know how to be humble ^^

It almost seemed like stars aligned for Mana lol.

impressive agression by mana.

I actually agree with you, but something needs to be said at least about the Sniper game. Sniper played sooooo bad today. He literally had the last game won, and then had bad rally points and engagements, losing all his lings twice, and walking half his infestors to their deaths as well. Give it more time to decide, that's fine, but Sniper played some of the worst I've seen in Code S. Reminded me of TheBest. I hope it was just the nerves.

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, As close as it went, I think not upgrading adrenal glands and prolonged long-distace mining might have cost Nerchio game no 1.
Wow MaNa, so fast!
