I have to ask... With the HotS beta ending in less than 22 hours will you still be able to broadcast the NA/EU HotS qualifiers after today?

With how close we are to the release, you should probably start to put somewhere if it's WoL of HotS :p

Wooo!

Great choice with the 4gate, having to move those barracks cuts so much in his production time.

Yup, MKP just died to 2x 4gates. Death by 8 gates huh?

Quick and effective by finale though.

Wow, Jjakji completely outplayed Lucky.

Remember when people claimed that Lucky was one of the best Zergs in the world a year ago? Lol

Looking good game one, nice to see that he's not afraid to play the macro game even in WoL. Was a bit afraid when he moved out without the combat shields!

It's not even that. Lucky's basic macro is just not there. Like right now, he's floating resources because the injects aren't there, and thus he's lacking larva.

I will admit that I'm pretty critical of Lucky because I'm an anti-fan, a hater if you will. Never liked his gimmicky style.

Probably does, TvT is still his weakness.

He has looked quite solid in TvT though. Looked great in the game vs Mvp in GSTL (was a while ago, prob September or something) and now most recently against Dream in the HotS GSTL preseason. His weakness this past year has been TvZ imo.

Right now in WoL maybe, but he won't face a Zerg anymore and between his TvP and his TvT I'd put a lot more confidence in his TvP.

And in HotS TvZ really isn't an issue, so it's probably still TvT.

Jjaki played way too safe on that push. He should have been able force a lift on the natural, and siege the ramp.

He was too scared of siege mode that was not there for Supernova when the push hit.
