I wonder if he knew that this is the correct response due to practicing vs this before or if it was his genuine reaction for this game.


I think he wanted to put on aggression to stall for time because the longer this all in waits, the weaker it is. There's no charge or blink with this so he really shouldn't take any damage being out on the map unless he screws up. Just happened to find nothing back at home.

How many times have I seen Cloud Kingdom and Daybreak today? It seems that pretty much every single series that is played had at least one of these two maps. I really wish they would diversify the maps that are played on. For a spectator, it gets a tad old to see the same two maps being played on over and over again.
You mean I just write stuff here and other people can see it?

this is kinda what is expected when you don't invite any decent korean zerg and only 1 decent korean toss, which is still in the tourney.


Violet?

People keep forgetting about him a lot when listing the good korean zergs, don't really understand why...

Foreigner vs Korean matches can be boring, but it will get better once foreigners are out.

Actually it will be even more boring then T_T


yo, koreans are good at starcraft I hear, maybe this sport isnt for you if you don't enjoy watching them play.


Watching the best in the world isnt fun apparently. *rolls eyes*. It's all about watching.... your country-men... even though theyre not from the same country as the poster, they are foreign.. thats... the same... what? im confused.

:O what? TvT is like one of the best matchups (by far best mirror) especially when it is two korean terrans.

PvP is better in my opinion.

Same, I thinks it beautiful in so many ways. And yet almost everything I hear about it is "colossus"

Yes,exactly.

Because you don't enjoy high level play? Okay.

TaeJa vs SaSe game 1 was high level play? Okay.


lol

such troll bait

high level play =/= high level entertainment

I've never understood how some people have such a hard time separating the two


but how is it more entertaining to have a foreigner play? We just see starcraft units on the screen. We aren`t watching Sase dance and sing on stage.

It's all about the story. Yet more Korean dominance is a story that isn't that interesting.

Damn just woke up to see the brackets. Yet again Dreamhack brackets have to screw over TL T_T Probably HerO vs Taeja in one of the semi's. Why must this happen?!?!?! HerO was having such good luck with groups till now

Don't sorry Hero will win his second Dreamhack and it will all be peachy, that's a great story.

The only PvP's I've really enjoyed have been blink vs blink builds, just because the micro is insane. YongHwa vs Genius yesterday for instance. Good game, excellent blink micro. Outside of that, though, TvT is much more fun for me. ZvZ terribad.

Nah, Taeja scouted Sase's army. He knew what he wanted to do.

I feel a lot of it comes from when MVP showed how much a threat early Terran base race can be during his finals with Squirtle.
