Yeah those multipronged attacks just basically won him the games. It was actually something different and nice to watch.

Life lesson.
Let him learn the hard way through tears His fav playah got beaten by Kespa scrub who trained for couple month in SC II. Now imagine what he thinks of Leenock now if Roro is a scrub...
ZvZ is so random that their results don't mean anything :D. Stephano is still far far better than Cytoplasm for the instance.

There are SC2 pros out there been playing ZvZ for 2 years now and still dont "get it" with ZvZ.
Fact is if you can become a master of the mirror match up, then getting to any finals is no longer luck based

They just try to keep the game entertaining. If there would be a 4-0 in football (soccer for you silly americans) you know the match is over 10minutes before finish. But the commentators are not going: Yeah, that's it pretty much, feel free to leave the TV. Even if we know it's over they don't say that etc.

Yeah, either they had absolutely zero clue about the ZvZ matchup or they were just super biased. They kept calling it for Leenock in game 2 just cause he had more drones, when Roro got every single hatch earlier, had better army value, better army composition, and then started completely destroying Leenock in multi-pronged harassments/expo trades. He had roaches streaming EVERYWHERE, better defense with infestors at home, burrowing constantly to hide shit in Leenock's bases, and focusing on crippling Leenock's eco and shoving units between all of Leenock's rally points.
Leenock's response was to blunder around with two big ass ctrl groups. One in Roro's base, one defending his own base. Just hilarious how big a gap there is between the two players. The mechanics of Kespa are miles ahead.
Roro had the advantage of Leenock not knowing much about his ZvZ skill, but that was still very impressive by Roro, the multi-tasking and decision making.

Come again?
lol I'm glad RoRo won... I like tweaking people who get worked up over silly things
''makes a comment that backfired, tries to make someone that calls you out on it look stupid to safe your ego''
Mad props.
I actually don't comprehend how people get so worked up over this stuff. Not just in esports, but in all sports. When I see mad riots because of something or other than happened at world cup, or someone's head about to explode because their favorite team is losing... I just can't wrap my head around it.
Continue slagging if it makes you happy But if it was all GSL players from hereon in, we wouldn't be able to have any more productive conversations like this, would we? lol
I'm so glad that RoRo has won this game against Leenock. RoRo showed a lot of game sense and multitasking. The most impressive thing is that he started playing SC2 since April-May on half of their time, whereas Leenock is playing it for 2 years at full time...
Roro slapped Leenock with a Elephant Trunk of massive force.
And all the other Kespa players are doing well, too... Oh, wait -.-;
This tournament has already proven the elephant in the room article wrong. Drop this bullshit and focus on the games.
I did focus on the game and what I saw was Roro using his trunk and slapping players left and right. Maybe he will loose at one point but still damn he's a sexy elephant. Tuut-tuut!
About the elephant theory,even RORO win tonight, I still don't think they will dominate soon but I believe in half a year, Kespa player will dominate the scene. Ok, I am a brood war fan.
