How is Byun's TvZ? he got to the ro8 by playing 3 TvP and a TvT.


It's never been that great. Maps are

Metropolis

Cloud Kingdom

Entombed

Atlantis

Whirlwind

Byun is dead.


What the hell who decided these were the maps -_- so unfair to Byun really.

The map pool just isn't great in general for TvZ..


They could at least give him Antiga or Ohana or both instead of that...

True. Should have them both if they wanted it to be fair!

Trust me.Byun will beat Seed and Nestea and make it into the finals.
Byun is really good if you watched his stream.

DRG will make it into the finals since there is only protoss left.

DRG vs Byun finals.
Play your best

clearly wasn't quite as all in as you'd like to believe then -_-


He means that MC didn't actually go for the all-in. If he had then it would have been all-in, but as he didn't he was not.

He was ahead in upgrades, he was ahead. He should have taken a straight up fight or added ghosts. Instead he went up the ramp and half his army was hitting probes/buildings.

You don't have to tell me how he lost; I'm aware. I'm just QQing.

How am I supposed to know that you don't think what you write?

He was right, what is your problem? Haven't you seen MC play in 2010-early 2011?

Or do you expect incontrol to predict a player's change of style?

Yeah, MC is definitely not the most successful player topping the earnings at #1.
Mmm, what to watch.

Pretty good. I watched him play Cocoa in GSTL pretty recently and it was quite solid. He lost, but you can't really judge just from that since all Terrans are having a tough time. He has a very good chance of beating Nestea.


Nestea will win if he can mindgame the shit out of Byun. Otherwise, Byun has a reasonably good chance.


This is Nestea, one of the best preparation players. He will probably exploit everything against Byun.

Back to back Ro8 appearances in the GSL is a bit more than online only.

I think he will as well. Byun is incredibly good. Tomorrow will be tough though.

And, to your edit, I always watch his stream when its on!

Aren't Cloud Kingdom and Entombed good maps for TvZ? I'm Protoss so I don't know a lot about TvZ but I think Zergs don't like these 2 in all match ups.

Hey I'm glad MC won too but you can not not appreciate (sorry for the double negative) what Taeja brings to the table... it was a hard choice to make TL, hope HerO joins Taeja in Code S for next season.

Funny thing is, that's how MC's style use to reflect circa 2010-mid 2011. It's only within the past 6-8 months has MC blossomed into the fully rounded (and I mean FULLY) rounded toss we see today.

Taeja going for natural was a pretty big mistake, the fight afterwards completey decimated him and the natural snipe was pretty irrelevant as MC's third just finished. The loss of the third afterwards just put him way behind as MC instanyl remade the nat.

Yeah right... online only? Taeja got Code S RO8, so he has arguably been one of the 8 best players in the world this month. Wait, GSL is no online tournament!

When Stephano was considered the best ZvP and nobody knew how to beat 3 hatch, Seed destroyed Stephano on stream 3 times. His PvZ not many know this, but is f'ng sick. I predict 3-2 Seed winning
Taeja is overhyped because he's from TL. i think it'll depend on what MC does. 3-2 MC winning if he picks good builds.
