Spores up before Banshee gets to the main.
hellions go in to third at the same time but immediately attacked by sLivko.
6 Drones killed total. Stim, Siege mode and +1 +1 bio coming for DBS. +1 +1 melee for sLivko with macro Hatch and Infestation Pit. Lots of Lings. DBS drops in main, gets 2 Drones. Taken a weird 3rd in the middle of the map with an Orbital, not scouted yet. Hellions caught in the middle of the map by lots of Lings and they all die. sLivko takes his 4th and a drop over it is caught by Infestors. Double Spire and Hive with +2 +2 melee ups for sLivko. Middle base still hidden. Tripple Raven incoming from DBS. Greater Spire incoming, more drops from DBS and more quick responses from sLivko. Almost constant drops at the moment. 5th incoming for sLivko. 4th and 5th for DBS. Massive Ling push from sLivko, forces lift on both new bases. Ravens drop auto turrets and at the end of it all, both are still maxed. Yamato Cannon being researched. Ling push takes out 5th base. Corruptors incoming, more air upgrades for DBS. 4 CCs coming from DBS. Battle Cruiser production started. Game crashed during fight between Broods, PDD and Ravens, Vikings and Seeker Missiles. No idea who is ahead.
Yet more drops from DBS harassing 6th at the moment.
Right side base taken by sLivko and scanned by DBS whilst morphing.

Yeah, there's always some group of hardcore scene followers who can predict when players go big. They were paying attention when Coca, Taeja, Squirtle, Life, etc. were playing in scrub online tourneys.

Same one I linked to as well =P I am guessing you also found it through dignitas' article.

If Jaedong played in the BW equivalent of HSC, his winrate would be 100% I'm intrigued as to how you would translate HSC into a BW equivalent. Did foreigner ever take a game off korean in WSG ? I actually don't know if it happened but I guess it didn't
There would be no BW equivalent. The scenes are too different to make a meaningful comparison to a hypothetical BW HSC.

as far as I know that was way before he ever started his reign as tyrant

Of course they took games off koreans...there was a russian guy that took a game from jaedong once in a WCG, think it was 2009.

Tank line moves up to die for supply gain.
HUGE fungal on all the air of DBS. Loses everything, drops 70 supply in that fight.
Tanks still not killed.

Now Nightend just has to win 1 game vs MVP. Then it would be a 3-way tie. Anyone knows what happens next?
Mvp would have head to head against both of them, so he would probably advance in 1st and the other two would fight for second, or they do tiebreakers if they don't use head to head.
edit : forgot about monchi for some reason, would be tiebreakers for sure.

Monchi's fast hidden third wins him game 3. Disgusting series. I know, MVP should have played better and scouted it. He should have assumed his opponent would take risks against him. Yup, should expect inferior players to do this a lot. I guess he was just overly scared of another 2 base all in after the game before rather than Monchi going the other way and hoping to get away with greed. Inferior is a strong word and not one that I would use for someone who just beat MVP. I would say that Monchi knew he was not going to be able to match MVPs end game macro, since he is the Game Genie Terran. You can't fault people who do not have access to the Korean ladder for taking risks. I think the whole situation of MVP being able to be beaten by these guys is just very sad for the game and when he streams and loses to jackthejasonbowler high master NA it doesn't help my mood either.

Theres a reason why there's no such thing as rock paper scissors tournaments. Game is a joke if the best player in the history of the game can lose to someone like monchi, sorry... Oh just shut the fuck up already, MVP played bad, monchi beat him, end of story. No need to fill up 30 pages with whining imbalance over that.
Seriously, MVP could have a cold, be jet lagged, hung over, tired or anything. Or he could be having a bad day, people have those you know.

I'd say WCG is pretty close, actually.
