Well, fairly enjoyable GSTL tonight. Funny how both nights ended on a WoL game! And remember guys, this is still a tournament with monetary winnings. In the end, "win at all costs" is the name of the game. HotS stuff is icing on the cake. We have seen some really cool HotS stuff already both today and yesterday, and you have to accept that quite a few games will still look like WoL games, especially in the early scene. That's just how it's gonna go down for now. | ||

I didn't see the opening but I'm assuming ByuN went 1 rax expand into 2 gas. That is not a "super greedy" build at all (unless he did 3x CC and I missed it?), that's about as standard as a 15 Hatch. | ||

ByuN and Maru have both been Code S, with Byun finishing top 4 two times, and Maru and ByuN are both in Code A right now (with ByuN vs Gumiho determining who goes directly to Code S and who goes directly to up and downs). 1. They were better in WoL, this is different 2. Maybe the prime guys should start scouting again? Stupidly greedy openings without scouting as they are used to in WoL but get punished for in HotS. You look at the result, not on how the players played. The Prime terrans played awful and died to unscouted allins | ||

Then does the exact same thing to lose to JKS. Gonna be a long season for Prime at this rate. I'm not good enough to put an opinion in on balance whine but FXO looked good and more up to date on HoTS | ||

And Byun did not scout that. Everything in relativity. | ||

Looking forward to NSHoseo vs MVP! + Show Spoiler [MLG Winter Showdown spoiler] + Jjakji kicked ass on the livestream of the MLG match. I think NSHoseo has a good shot at taking out MVP | ||

That's just how it's gonna go down for now. I loved it. I still have some issues with that hellbat unit, it just doesn´t seem to fit in the game, but otherwise I love the new Protoss abilities/units. Also, we haven´t even seen any zerg going late in GSTL, yet. We have barely seen anything in this GSTL. I like it a lot more than WoL beta/Open Season. WoL Open Season was just disgusting to watch at times. | ||

Jesus I play terran and its retarded how strong reapers/widowmines/hellbats are against zerg. No, my evidence is that the new reapers add to the game and can be defended, as shown by JKS. And I like it more than in WoL. | ||
