I recall him having very weak splits against Coca and in his streamed games.

That aside, Byun is a smart player, and he's a good player, but he's a Terran. Even before the last patch, he hadn't beaten a decent Zerg in a long time. Byun is going to be absolutely destroyed by Nestea.

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?

He was wrong, since MC has always been risky and yet continues to succeed. He had a slump but he recovered nicely and has continued to be an extremely dangerous player who can never be counted out. He's also still the only protoss to win anything.


So Huk at Orlando, Naniwa at the MLG invitational, and HerO at dreamhack doesnt count?

Did you not learn after the last GSL finals never to go away after a solid second game?

Kind of annoyed I missed these I was even awake on time too. Just didn't realize that it was happening today.

Were the two series as good as they appear on paper?

Looks like Naniwa will get owned by DRG and we have Seed vs either Byun or DRG in the final.

I missed the games today but I wanted to come in here and tell everyone that Seed's victory over Symbol is not as big an upset as everyone is making it out to be. Seed is one of the most intelligent players in the game today, he had plenty time to prepare and he had a best of 5 to work with (longer series work better with methodical appraoches).

2 for 2 on the dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy


Symbol ended up destroying himself though unless if thats what seed counted on

Agreed, the best of the best have their ups and their downs. I see EG.iNcontroL has been doing remarkably well in tournament play...(That's not to say I don't like him in SoTG nor in casts)...

How is he smarter than MarineKing? The player who revolutionized all three TvX matchups multiple times, has probably the most builds out of anyone and is far more accomplished than Byun.

He's a good player - but there's nothing he's better than MKP at(ok maybe mech tvt).

Ah, both GM-SKIL players made it through. Is it just me, or did Seed play like MC? D ffs, timing attacks, etc.

His forcefields sucked... even in the matches he won... The reason Seed won, according to me, is because he adapted to Symbol's builds incredibly well.. I dont know why Symbol stuck to hydra in 4 of those 5 matches.. He should have known that a GSL quality player will adapt to that eventually...

Byun's amazing. Dude has sick mechanics and crazy APM lol. I'm always dumbfounded whenever I catch him stream once in a blue moon.

are you really bringing something up what someone said nearly 2 years ago? really? ....that low? Should every person criticize you for everything you ever said in the past that turned out wrong?

And why are you not complaining about Nony? he was the guy who said that about MC, Incontrol just agreed to it.
