It's so much easier to get onto exact builds and timings with replays than it is with VODs. I think international tournaments should protect the participating players here more. Hmm. I still struggle to see the usefulness. You know he has a few two base timings at 9:00-10:00, otherwise it's 3 base at ~ 15:00. Nothing else really happens. I suppose you could rule out that weird timing that Rain did with 8 gates off 3 base on Entombed Valley against Idra (which hit SUPER early, like at ~12:00). But even if you ruled out 'unconventional' timings such as that one, then what? There are still a variety of builds that hit around the same standard times which are really hard to stop if your opponent outplays you. I can't see any significant way to adjust your play given that you know a timing more precisely. E.g. if you know Creator hits at ~16:00 because he likes to chrono out +1 armour to give him 3/1, what is that really going to enable you to do? He'll still be out on the map for presence, and zerg will be spamming spine / ling / roach / infestor knowing the push is incoming. Having known previously that it comes ~1:00 later, but with better upgrades will not - in my opinion - help you that much. I mean, time and time again, we see zergs teching to hive, taking their fourth, spining up, and just dying to the 3 base push. And excellent zergs, like DRG, too. They know it's coming, with or without replays of their opponents, but they can't stop it. But hey, I guess it's better to have the replays than to not have them. | ||

Ryung's lost his TvT gimmick in favour of becoming a better well-rounded which is a good thing because you don't win GSL's winning TvT's unless it was 5 seasons ago  I think MKP is the better TvTer out them both but both games should be close.. | ||

Ryung vs MKP could be a potentially great TvT series. So sick of seeing many PvZ on WCS. | ||

I dunno how to get excited for more PvZ after Bwc, but Hyun might make it fun. | ||
