Antiga Shipyard Cloud Kingdom Entombed Valley Daybreak Ohana Shakuras Plateau Tal'Darim Altar Hm, I want to see Ohana, Daybreak and Cloud Kingdom. The maps with the most interesting gameplay of those. Entombed and Antiga mostly play out more boring, those maps are predictable. Shakuras is a kinda bad map and Taldarim had its fun time but that was a year ago. + Show Spoiler [Rant on maps] + Those maps need to go soon. We need new awesome stuff like the anniversary maps of the ESV team. Those would play out differently from everything we have now and would change the game. Blizzard needs to change their map-pool a lot. It's getting boring. And we need more cool features on the maps. Entombed for example has no special, interesting features whatsoever. 3 easy to take bases, only 2 ramps. Wide-open middle with a watchtower. And then those useless high-ground expansions behind rocks and the little ways behind them which don't get used at all. Just a boring map. Just my opinion of course. /rant | ||

Jetlag might cause tiredness at hours you're normally awake becaues your body watch says something different than the clock. But it doesnt mean you're tired 24h per day. You can be as alert as ever even if your body watch isnt in sync with the clock. - A lot of people here really arent good enough to spot the difference between "normal" level of play for a player and "slightly lower" level of play. And even if you can spot the difference, you cannot under any circumstances know its because of tiredness and not something else. - Hell, sometimes travelling players even gets non-mistakes called mistakes and blamed on tiredness, even though given the information the actions werent mistakes at all. And opponents playing awesome doesnt get recognized at all. - Funnily enough, when 10 or 20 people travel to an events in EU/NA just for a weekends and play, their losses almost never gets blamed on jetlag (see Korean losses at DH Summer for example) but when its one big game and not a whole tourny, like in GSL, jetlag is suddenly affecting everyone and is to be blamed for all losses. - How come almost every Korean seem to be travelling foreign events and doing well there!? WHY NO JETLAG!? So please, stop blaming everything on jetlag. Even if it actually does play a role (which it does a lot less than people claim), you have no idea it does. Well, I think case was a bit different from jetlag. Seed just got off a 10+ hour flight 3 hours ago (and had to spend 1 of those on a train). It is true that some people can sleep well on flight and are not as affected, but you could tell he was pretty tired. As for poor play, there can be many reasons and we can never be certain of which one it is or it might be a combination. But I don't think anyone is implying that the person with jetlag/feeling tired will lose for sure. But to claim that Seed wasn't at a disadvantage because of the scheduling would be underestimating the affects. And when players of the same levels play, this disadvantage could be the difference maker. As for you DH Summer and foreign tournaments example, most players arrive the day before the tournament starts to get adjusted. | ||

But never as good as he was that one season. =( Still one of the best TvP'ers around, but his TvZ is nothing in comparison to the shining example he gave us in november. Still, good to see champions being champions. Typically GSL champions win then lose everything immediately after haha | ||

Antiga Shipyard Cloud Kingdom Entombed Valley Daybreak Ohana Shakuras Plateau Tal'Darim Altar Seeds best PvT map is apparently Antiga while his worst is Daybreak although his sample size for that is fairly small. Polts best TvP map is ..Antiga and his worst.. is daybreak and his sample size is much better. So we're probably going to see Antiga for sure and not daybreak but beyond that it's anyones guess. | ||

Not only is his momentum growing and growing, he also made clear he wants to be the new Frontman of Incredible Miracle, after his celebrations waving their flag etc, and he finally made clear that him being considered Starter material was a fluke and ultimately turned into their new Ace. Iam glad he trashed TaeJa (should of won their first game as well, Taeja got pretty lucky) Clearly MC shouldnt watch out for Squirtle this year, but for this new prodigy. They hyped Squirtle, they hyped SymboL, they hyped TaeJa....but only SeeD delivered in the end and kept his nerves together to take home back to back titles, while barely sleeping in between. Gotta say, Love you SeeD, new Villain in the scene, new Jokerface to combat Batman and Superman (aka the Fan Idols) | ||

The starter spot is actually really important and should be taken but a strong player. Optimally, the starter is a very good all around player with no weak matchups so if he wins, he can't be sniped easily. I think the reason IM wanted to play Seed as the starter was to force Taeja to come out early. I don't think Liquid would have been confident sending anyone else besides Taeja. It didn't really work out because Taeja went beast mode and AK'ed but the strategy itself was sound. In GSL, IPL TAC, you had a lot of big name starters like Byun, Squirtle, MMA, Gumiho, etc. So I don't think Seed was put as starter to be the sacrificial lamb. | ||
