Granted his play was sloppy, but a lot of it came down to missing Yugi's spire timing. But as soon as he saw the mutas he made the best possible choices - keep attacking to keep them at home, make a few more queens + spores (not too many, only made 4 to start), get a hydra den so you don't die and transition to infestors. Textbook and solid, even if he didn't control perfectly or if he didn't scout 100% accurately. Yugi didn't play horribly, he just made a few mistakes and those cost him the game against someone who knows what to do. nestea has been slumping especially hard in zvz, while he is still fairly good and code S level, i wont be surprised seeing him losing against up and comer zergs like shine, life or hyun. | ||

Grats to the winners of their groups, pretty sick lineups overall. | ||

I guess one could argue about MVP's WC and the Open season titles (MC, Nestea) but most people do count those. So no, they are not counting the current GSL. | ||

Having GSL and OSL reminds me of (no disrespect of course to MSL) the old OSL/MSL pairings, and even more comparable, when Gom Starleague was run during those two tournaments too. It's good to see the Korean players have more opportunities in tournament play without having to fly around, displays more raw skill against higher talent, while sparing us the excuses (legit or not) of being jetlagged/tired/etc. Hopefully this also means there'll be less drama about leaving for foreign teams because with 2 tournaments going, they can make a better living, and hopefully even land more major sponsors like the scbw teams did. Grats to the winners of their groups, pretty sick lineups overall. For sure. But you will have 2x the competition as well once the Kespa pros catch up (and they are catching up quickly). | ||

DRG - best in GSTL, multi-champion MKP - best 2nd finisher, and also multi-champion Parting, Oz - at times considered almost the best, if not the best protoss San - very solid protoss This is almost like a dream team of all times; Kespa would be heroes to even break through one of these guys. | ||

Well, Snow did 2-0 Nestea today so anything is possible. But obviously, these 8 are going to be favorites over the Kespa players. If the groups are 2 GSL + 2 Kespa , I think maybe 1 or 2 Kespa will get through to Ro8. | ||

Runner-ups - DRG - 1 MKP - 3 4 in total. If MC wins GSL, 11 GSL champs, if he loses, 5 runner-ups. But the line-up is still scary... | ||

This is sad since most of those viewers just don't give a d*** about this new league. All four groups have the biggest names in SC2. And no one, even the SC2 fans, go to see the matches. | ||
