Go Hero! Still sad about game one, after seeing this game 
|
That's what would had be done in the first map if he hadn't lost his Colossus to pathing...

I'd stick in Rain, but he's not been around for the whole year. He's also just dropped to Code B. If he showed the kind of play we've seen from him so far, over a longer period he'd 100% be in here. Is this for player of the yar? How could mkp not crack top 10 for what he did in the first half of the year and now back to back ro8 code S? He hasn't made deep Code S runs, or had a good spell over foreign tournies in different periods. That said, not his fault that Prime can't send him everywhere. If he'd have won WCG he probably would have made it in but he didn't do that well there alas. Parting likewise, much as I love him didn't quite do it for me. That and the glasses. He looks like what Elton John would look like if he was reincarnated as a Korean progamer. Come on HerO for game 2! That was a bit sloppy on his part, but that pathing is ridiculous. Daybreak is a terrible map anyway, surprised people aren't more vocal in having it removed I don't see how Gumiho can be ranked above marineking Marineking won a MLG championship and a MLG arena. 3rd at another MLG. Gumiho only made it past the ro32 of Code S 1 time this year. every other season he lost in the ro32 including one season where he lost to Thorzain Marineking made it to the ro16 or higher in every season of Code S this year. Gumiho won 2 GSTLs. sure. Marineking won 1 GSTL where he 4 killed in the finals and led the GSTL season with the best record. Sure, Gumiho is the better player right now, but for the whole year? no way The first half of 2012 before Taeja's explosion was the year of MKP. He was unstoppable in like every match up. His games against DRG in the MLG arena's were just unreal. Gumiho has been more consistent throughout the whole year. But MKP's peak was way higher this year. How is losing in the ro32 every season more consistent than making ro16 or ro8 every season? MKP has been doing shitty outside of GSL for like the last 4-6 months. Whereas, to my knowedge, Gumiho hasn't been getting knocked out of tournies by no name zergs and trimaster.
To be fair Gumiho doesn't go to any international tournaments.

Such a great livethread, totally letting people know how the games are going and everything
/end rant from someone who is unable to watch.
HerO opts for the three base preBL timing after 4 gate with +1, choosing not to attack the fourth of viOLet on CK. Circumventing the spines, HerO goes for the third. viOLet chooses to go roach rather than BL, but the corruptors get destroyed by about 30 stalkers, and the colossus reign supreme.
2-1 viOLet

hmmmm why did violet make a bunch more roaches instead of BL's???
I'd guess he was hoping to kill the collosii with corruptors and over run everything else.

Like I said, I wanted to stick in one player solely for their teamleague exploits. Yongwha or Gumiho it was, but FXO got those shiny winner's medals
HerO, well played. His warp prism micro is among the best in the game, he doesn't just use it to show off, but does it very effectively to save tech units.

Is it weird to think the Hots games were more entertaining than the finals

Sooo I saw a tweet with a HoTS beta key, how long have those been going on?

LOL that guy in the crowd responding <3

Since yesterday. I got one for myself and my friend and you can too. Just watch the bottom of the screen and make sure your stream is up to speed (refresh it several times as you watch). Also, have insane WPM or you're screwed.

I wanted to reward at least one player for teamleague chops. Life, Taeja and Leenock got in for their individual league play, Gumiho got an allkill and a 3kill in consecutive GSTL finals, a close-to-unique achievement this season and was no scrub in the regular season. Like Seed he showed an individually impressive achievement, to me anyway. That and his style is the world's sexiest when he's on song.
Come on HerO. Rain/Creator style 3 base timing, you got dis. Taeja got a ton of rep for the IPL TAC performance. Basically all killed or got 4 kills on every top korean team and almost double all killed IM in the finals. To me that is better than Gumiho or MKP to be honest. Those guys had way better supporting line ups. For Taeja it was literary Team Taeja. If you want to talk about GSTL, Yonghwa all killed twice this season, yet nobody is talking about him :p
All YongHwa has is HSC second place and two all-kills, while TaeJa had two championships and basically carried Liquid to the IPLTAC3 finals and a runner-up at DreamHack.

The games today for WoL have been ok-ish (well at least the Hero vs. Violet stuff and game 1 of the 3rd place match). I am REALLY excited for HotS though and hope balance stays wonky and we get crazy games for months with balance patches to fix stuff that is way out of control.

I hope violet win the next one, i wanna see him finish 1st !

Sniper isn't quite as good as Gumiho or Yonghwa, but he was damn good in GSTL and won the GSL and got ro8 in IPL5.

Yes it is, unless you don't like PvZ 
Even though the games might not be that great so far, it's still the finals with a lot on the line.
