In my mind, the predictions of casters in this tournament are akin to a deliciously amusing treat. It seems to constantly have the function of: Foreigner has strong points, Korean has weak points. Strong points beat weak points. This is regardless of whether the weak points of Koreans are actually stronger than the strong points of foreigners. (And yes, the is an exaggeration. But yesterday was also full of this kind of thing going on and it makes me smile). | ||

Standard TvZ if you don't macro in the mid game after failing to inflict economic damage with your opener while your opponent successfully hits your natural and delays your economy AND you didn't increase your production or eliminate creep spread? Nah lol must be imbalanced. | ||

I'd bet a lot of them tried many new things only to find that hellions still work better than most bio openings if you want to apply pressure and have some map pressence. A lot of korean terrans still open with hellions too. | ||

On some websites there were writeups for the Round of 16, and they all said Kas would win because "he could handle Life's antics". In the matchup where Life uses the least shenanigans. | ||

I guess it just varies, I've personally seen better results out of using 8 marines and a medivac to deny creep spread early on and set up a mid game push with a very fast 3rd. | ||
