well i hope nestea doesnt play because i have him anti'd and so far that's been working out ok. Not sure what to think about Sniper atm. he hasnt seemed to have adjusted well to HoTS. I think First will beat him.

hrmmm. not sure who/what to cheer for. i guess a close series going down to ace would be good!

fun fact: nestea beat DRG today in a qualifier tourney

You underestimate Super. He just all killed FXO, I think he has at least a kill within him this match.

True, but who is a tougher match for Super, Ragnarok or Byun?

sniper beat creator 3-0 a few days ago, which may or may not mean much depending on what you think of creator's skill

well if IM want to win this, they probably won't be sending ragnarok out too much afaik he wasn't even on their starting 10 the past few weeks? probably first, squirtle, yoda and +1. pretty hard lineup

I hope LG-IM does badly. Especially Squirtle since he's on my anti-team.

Lol why is Squirtle on your anti-team if he has a <3 next to his name in your signature

You can both like someone yet expect them to badly.

That is certainly true, but it's strange how he's putting himself in a position to cheer against a player that he likes (not to mention Squirtle is good enough that it's strange that anyone would put him on his anti). Furthermore, If I liked a player and put the player on my anti-team, I'd still be happy if said player did well. But eh, that's just me.

he doesn't like squirtle or parting anymore i think

I initially considered that he just forgot to update his sig, so you could be onto something.

He's been hating on the Startale deserters elsewhere as well, so I think he just didn't update the sig as you say.

LG-IM is one of the most beloved teams in KR.

So Sniper should allkill fairly easily.

Same. I'll open another stream if I smell leenock, gumiho, polt or jaedong playing, but other wise I think we ahve time to watch GSTL. A lot of "uninteresting" players in the early groups usually.

I have also loved the music the GSL has been playing between matches recently, they have played many songs from the last Helloween album which is amazing.

How did Sniper knew that the 2 widow mines targetted those two lings ? O_o"

On April 26 2013 18:58 Insoleet wrote:


Honestly i dont know how he does it.

He just always know which lings are targeted by the widow mines, so he only split the needed lings. So, so strange.

That probablt it.

We really need, as casual players, a map to practice mines dodging.

Terrans have a map to practice marines splits against banes, why cant zerg have a practice map too t_t

Except for Life, this is the best ZvT I've seen in HotS. Very high understanding of what's important, splitting to avoid mines and denying drops almost perfectly. Impressive play by sniper!
