This is not Code A prelim (where YongHwa gets -50% debuff) though. He is plenty enough to win over anyone and was arguably best Protoss on IM before last GSL when Seed came out from nowhere to top.
Ro4 to Grand Finals! I think I'll stay up to watch this. Keen, MKP, PartinG are my top 3. I prefer MKP in 1st or 2nd, but I'd like Keen to win something and see how he celebrates!
Sad for Keen but pleased to see YongHwa advancing at the same time. I would love for Yonghwa to win this and then go on to win the whole WCG giving IM back to back WCG championships.

Agreed. Particularly after failing to make it into Code A again, YongHwa definitely deserves some kind of big win.

Pretty sure they don't, Moon and Grubby are 100% sc2 now. Some other top players might still play though.

I think Moon got invited, there was some mini drama about it (could be wrong tho)

nothing wrong with that imo, considering that's what they have practiced with all their career, but it would be funny to see a basketball player sponsored by nike, but using other shoes :D
iirc players in cs 1.6 didn't always use sponsor gear

I don't believe I saw crying. Pissed that he lost to an all in, understandable.
Hands were over his face and he was shaking a bit. Obviously we saw no tears, but that really looked like crying. I wonder if he's really that upset over this one game or if something else is going on in addition,

It may appear to be a diva thing to do, but maybe they were really old glasses with an old prescription? Maybe he didn't have the others with him for whatever reason? I don't know.

stop being a greedy SOB
That build by Parting puts him at even econ with terran.
Which is bad for terran, so MKP punished his greed.
Since when is terran supposed to be ahead in econ over protoss?
Even is even; It's a little silly to think that Gate Nexus is as "greedy" or more so than CC first, rofl. I think Parting should have identified so few Marines, not to mention having no Stalker at the front of MKP's base. No map awareness, and assuming the worst without taking proper stock. Though to be fair, this has got to be the first time he's seen something like that.
So now Parting will crush Keen and we will have our three national representatives ;o I imagine Marineking will go to WCG 100% unless he gets top 4 GSL. You don't have to travel too far + koreans really care about WCG ( korea has always won the gold in starcraft blahblahblah )

Argg I want MKP to go to IPL 5 cause wcg is kind of meaningless these days, but unfortunately maybe not to koreans. I need to hope he gets top 4 gsl next season now, which would ensure he chooses IPL 5.
I wouldn't even be sure creator and byun will be going to IPL 5 because MKP is the only one that won a free trip. Prime would have to pay for creator and byun to fly and I'm not sure they can afford it. MKP only went to the last MLG which was the first unpaid MLG for one for him becase thermaltake paid for it and not Prime.
There are a lot of koreans who won those satellites with unpaid for trips and I expect a lot of them not going because teams can't afford to send them.

quick, guys, go buy more primezzang stuff to fund byun and creator and bboong to IPL5! if mkp gets top4, he probably won't compete in IPL5 tbh
On September 15 2012 17:01 Hiea wrote: How do IPL expect the koreans to get to their tournament if they don't provide the trip?
Well it's cause IPL has to be fair and all the satellites were unpaid trips, but foreign teams will send their pros. It's only korean teams that can't afford to send them. However, there were a lot of koreans on foreign teams in those satellites so if the ones that qualified can't afford to go, they'll just go down the list and give those spots to koreans on foreign teams like MC.

Pretty defensive, he went fast robo bay instead of charge/storm in both games he won, MKP 1/1/1'd in game 3 and Yonghwa held it off the way you normally do with Immortals and gateway units, he made colossus later on.

Ofc he prays to Flash to ask for tips on how to beat Avilo.
This wasn't a thread Avilo made, it was just some random day of Parting crushing Terrans in the GSL I believe. Though Avilo's threads are hilarious.
Maybe we're thinking of different things, but wasn't this Squirtle, who had a group of 3 terrans, where he went for a 2gas opening every game, but did a bunch of different builds off of it? (One of which was the 3 nexus 8gate)

Parting popularised the 1gate into 3 nexus into 8gate pressure (Which naniwa says was his build that parting stole credit for lol :p)

Fuck, it could be, certainly both have done it, but I'm pretty sure it was Parting, he's certainly the most famous user of the build and the one to inspire the most Terran rage with it.
