what? Probes failed, but the Zealot got too many unnecessary kills. Probes are there to delay the CC and force SCV pull. Terran's econ gets super far behind even though they went CC first because of the lost mining time, where Toss can continue to Chrono Probes and expo because the Terran will have 1 Marine. That went exactly as Creator needed it to. Not really, once the CC is finished the Terran can retreat to his main behind his wall. SeleCT lost 5 SCVs because he wanted to bunker on lowground, he could have kept all of them safely at main while waiting enough Marines to go down. ...And he would have had no CC, because the Probes are there to deny the building SCV. Unless you pull SCVs, you can't actually finish the CC. If you bunker on the highground, the Protoss laughs at you and just gets an even earlier expand. You retreat at main AFTER the CC is complete, isn't it obvious? You need to pull SCVs to complete the CC or else your constructing SCV will die. Are you trolling me? Are you trolling? If you think going up to the high ground is the solution to the Probe harass you're actually clueless. Geez, you're so stubborn. a) You pull enough SCVs to fend off Probes while you're finishing the CC on lowground. b) Then, once the CC is complete, you retreat the SCVs at main. Can't explain better.
And you just give up mining from the CC? Okay. So the Protoss can basically deny mining for as long as he wants since you have no Bunker. So you're still incredibly behind, and your production is already later than 1rax FE.

3-0 3-0 from the Koreans, they're fighting back after Europeans recent success. We'll get to see how a European Korean will stack up to a Korean now. That's not fair! He hasn't been here long enough!
Shut up if he wins we can salvage this day.

What an awful day of SC2. Between Assembly ROG and TSL4 today no close series at all. Guess it's down to a PvP to give us some excitement.
Yeah, its been all exclusively beatdowns, just bad luck though.

Its crazy how different the PvT matchup look if you compare Select vs Creator and MC vs Taeja. Yeah, the "skill cap" (allthough it's not exactly a cap, you can allways become better) is just insane with terrans when you compare it to the other two. Then again when you start counting clear mistakes made by the terran player, not necessarily even micro mistakes but macro, and you'll be hard pressed to find any in Taeja's play unlike Select's. lol, the Taeja hype has blinded you, Taeja is fucking AMAZING, but he still makes lots of clear macro mistakes, arguably the most mistakes of any of the top Terrans that are close to his skill. his builds choice are sometimes pretty stupide too. A tad too greedy from time to time. Taeja has the undisputed best army control of all terrans in the world. when it comes to builds and macro, i would say MVP is on a much higher level. if you could combine the two... you would get Flash. I'd actually put Byun above Taeja in terms of army control, but Taeja over Byun in terms of solid play. I think we can agree they have immaculate ghost control, they look so OP with these lol Byun's nick gives him the edge 
When i say army control, i also mean engagement timings, flanks, concaves, etc. the decisions you make before you go into the battle, not just the battle micro. With these aspects taken into acounts, id say taeja has the best army control.

Today will be known as...
RISE OF THE FOREIGNERS.
wait.

Day9 picking up chicks during the cast, nothing special

The matches have been insanely one sided so far.. To be honest I think daisy/first is the only match that I have any hope for not being a landslide if Sase's performance at WCS is to be any indicator.

We haven't seen Thorzain yet.
I'm expecting (hoping with all my heart) that he brings the fire this tournament.

Sorry? Once you have 5 Marines you go down easily. Exactly how does it matter that you're not mining from your natural for some time since a) Protoss' expand is delayed as well and b) you can still use your second MULE?
