2nd game on ohana, was so so close for a long time. I just didn't spend my money (had 2k after killing his main) then i got my colossus army stuck out of position, in front of my gateways instead of behind it. Was a fun game and about as close as i could expect to do verse some of these guys. I'll still have a game in the losers bracket up on stage later. Excellent event. Blizzard and ACL have done an absolutely fantastic job at this venue. | ||

Early on in SC2 and during beta he was a more prominent player in Aus, competing in nationwars etc. How has his preparation changed from then? Is he still taking the game as casually as he did then? Is his play style still influenced by what he found intuitive back then or has he had to follow the meta-game more? Without reavers and the shuttle, what are his favourite units to micro in SC2? How does his experience at this major Aussie event compare with what Korea was like when he was a major part of the scene? What are the similarities, differences, things better/worse? Is SC2 in Australia doing better or worse than he predicted in Aus/SEA? | ||

It's kind of disappointing to see him lose like that, but then again Mafia is pretty damn good IIRC. Then again, according to Liquipedia he won't be returning to progaming. =( | ||

I mean, I am very very very very very far from being pro level or even diamond level but I guess when watching pros play, I'm just used to seeing such great macro all the time. Don't get me wrong though, SEA players are good as well. Hoping some of our locals can go on the world stage in WCG. | ||

Also, this is a regional competion for Australia, ofcourse the competition will be less good then what we are used to see in MLG or w/e. It's not like they tricked you in to watching this. And also also, what's wrong with sharing your joy over a victory? Emotional outbursts like that is extreamly fun to watch and even more pleasing to experience. Please don't be so negative. | ||

Sorry, I didn't mean to belittle their achivements but as a none-Australian I haven't heard about the vast majority of them before. And I watch a lot of starcraft. Also, playing in a local or online tournament can hardly compare to this high-production world championship. Some of the seasoned players like legionnare or moonglade will be allright of course, but some of the others might get stagefrieght.. you never know There is nothing wrong with showing respect for them either way. | ||

It would be increasingly difficult to deal with such a larger crowd than the smaller ones that most of players (who don't compete internationally) would be used to. That's a real shame, because it just means another obstacle that SEA players would have to hurdle to give it a real good go in this championship. | ||

People aren't use to showing emotion by how de-sensitized we've become from the Koreans. You just keep being you brah, don't let anyone tell you different. You have every right to feel excited after a victory and in no way is that bad manner. gg bro. | ||

Im sure it was just shock mate, anyone would have reacted the same if they just beat iaguz, one of the best players to grace the Australian SC2 scene. Congratulations. | ||

Again, i'm sorry, hopefully you'll be able to move into a big city and start practice, i'm sure you'll improve a lot in proper playing conditions. | ||

Here's my wrap of the first day: The first day of the Starcraft II World Championship Series in Sydney has come to a close, as the powerhouse of Australian Zergs dominate the competition. Andrew Pender "Nv.mOOnGLaDe", Zerg, Jared Krensel "Tt.PiG", Zerg, and Bradley Seymour "GoSu.tgun", Zerg, join Yojun Yun "Nv.YoonYJ", Terran, safely in the fourth round of the upper bracket. It appears almost certain that we will see a Zerg in the final, coming from the upper bracket. However dont count Yun out just yet. He fought a tough 2-1 match to beat Lei He "iM.MaFi", Zerg, arguably one of the best current Australian Zerg players. Whilst the odds certainly are against Yun, if he can take Pender out in the next round he will be in spectacular form to dominate the competition. Unfortunately Pender, the most well known Zerg in Australia is yet to drop a game. This Zerg versus Terran match surely is a game you cannot afford to miss.
