Tough game 3 map for TaeJa. 25% TvZ Akilon Flats. I think TaeJa needs to try and end it in 6 because Terran has yet to win on the new version of Bel'Shir Vestige vs Zerg
I understand that they infested the map pool when zerg in general did very bad (although good at the top top top level), but why do they keep doing it even though zergs have been doing incredibly well lately?

He scanned a RW and started marauder production, remember? If you make a RW against hellions, the usual follow up is Infestor Roach/Ling, and Taeja never scanned the Spire so he assumed Infestors, I'm guessing, hence the further 3rd. its just a horrible map against zerg as terran in General with too many pathways to defend. If gsl didn't want a bunch of zerg in their leagues they should've drop these kind of maps long ago. Map greatly influences matchups, kespa understands that and exploits it
yeah, you may be right, but it's such a shit concept imo
maps in the 50% ballpark are so much better to play/spectate

They were adding in maps to help protoss I think with the redesigns of Whirlwind and Bel'shir which I believed worked for protoss win rates

If the Gom studio burns down we know what happened

man taeja's uniform looks dirty and raggedy from excessive use.
can't wait for TL to look sharp again with nice uniforms.

Teamliquid "jacket" looks a bit poor compared to Khan jacket :D

I think they don't want to change the mappool completely from season to season. Although it would be cool to do completely new maps for HoTS.

these map cinematics are so unnecessarily long lol

Was first game a 3 base turtle? Way to talk about something irrelevant.
Terran can't turtle effectively against zerg without pressuring. Except that map allows zerg to abuse mobility to make sure terran never can leave base, and eventually die to zerg late game unable to pressure or die trying

The finals aren't at the new studio (as far as I know).
EDIT: The finals are at "UNIQLO AX, Seoul" - whatever that is.

OMG Artosis, that was Liquid + Taeja.

For HotS.
New expansion, new studio.

If RorO takes this map I think he will ride to momentum to a 4-1 or more likely a 4-2 victory.

Belshir helped PvZ? I thought the toss winrate had as much to do with temporary bouts of collective insanity zerg players have. (Mutas are terrible yada yada)
arrrgh whens the next map all this talk about % is making me nervous

I think TaeJa needs to try and end it in 6 because Terran has yet to win on the new version of Bel'Shir Vestige vs Zerg I'd be very surprised if he doesn't proxy 2 rax, or some sort of all in on this map. But wouldn't Roro expect that on such a Zerg favoured map? I'm not sure if Koreans think about mind games to the same depth we do (or even DEEPER), or if they just play on some kind of godlike auto pilot.
Bel'Shir Vestige is not a PL map though. I remember how badly SK lost on it (he said in an interview that had never played on the map before...)
