The last one doesn't seem true since he did quite well against the 2b 4gate, so he has to step up if he wants to beat MC. last one is obviously true if you watched game one, Naniwas build would completely throw off every timings hes ever known so took a couple games to get completely used to it, if he had experience against that build Game 1 would ahve looked like game 5 | ||

He's made ro8 back to back now, and he just went 2-3 against DRG, and he had a good chance to take the third games. How is that not Code S level? Clearly, because he's a foreigner who used to be BM and 7 probe rushed Nestea this one time, and even though he has become much more humble (comparatively) and respectful (definitely) of his opponents, he is just a bad allin foreigner protoss who can't actually hang with koreans and gets by through a combination of luck and his opponents derping. It's not actually his own skill level - if his opponents played like they would against any normal korean, he would easily be Code B. /sarcasm | ||

"Haters.... haters everywhere" ! Seriously, making back to back Code S Ro8 and being kicked by MVP the first time and DRG the second time is completely code S level. | ||

But hey, maybe ByuN is truly capable of pulling out God Mode and taking DRG out, I can definitely see that being the case... Ryung borrowed a page from MMA's book and beat drg in a macro game by constant harassment and small engagements. Byun can do the same thing. But over a whole series? That'd be incredible. | ||

I actually need to quote this again because not only is that the wrong map, it's an old as hell replay as well. | ||

Well, you have to take the map into consideration, Whirlwind is ultramassive, though I can STILL see ByuN pulling the constant drop style off on some of the other maps, but probably to a reduced effect. EDIT: DRG vs ByuN would probably make for a beastly finals, but I just... I just can't see DRG losing. | ||

The games are tense but not really interesting. And tension isn't enough if you're not emotionnaly involved (and i don't really care about P or Z :D) | ||
