Why did they change the groups format to BO1? This for me it seems a really bad decision and more of a coin-flip. And this means that more koreans will start to migrate to european and american tournaments. I guess this is good in the long run. -.- yes more Koreans will go overseas because they have more of a chance in Bo1 vs Flash and co. than Bo3. Totally logical. Bo1's fine, yugioh played really well and deserved the win and then Flash did his thing. I find it a lot more tense watching this than normal BoX's ofc its much more tense really changes the game and that's good that way tournament isn't linear borefest and upsets can happen more Implying SC2 needs more upsets?
Sjow should move to Korea.

You can focus fire, spread, split, stutter only being attacked parts and you can switch targets with effectively all widow mines that are on the field to get detonations you need. So... yeah, while Zerg has some interesting mechanial ability, I still think its less demanding and if you don't want to agree with that, I think we can agree on less rewarding for mechanical ability. Can we? A well micro'd Zerg army will never accomplish the same as a well controlled Terran army for its cost.
And protoss has blink!

more ppl watching gsl stream than ogn??????? Tastosis yo not giving doa and montecristo a chance I admit doacristo aren't as knowledgable as artosis, but they are pretty funny and have good chemistry for the WCS Korea finals didn't the OGN stream have like 5-10x more viewers than the GOMTV stream throughout the whole weekend? I always watched the OGN one then but for some reason this feels different. the OGN stream was featured on all the blizzard websites for the wcs season finals and the gom stream wasn't mentioned anywhere.
Ah i didn't know that. Interesting.
Find it funny the OGN English casters dont have their own computer to see the game but Artosis does and it isnt gom's tournament.

He had the numbers to overrun that, but the drop made Flash plan everything out: scan to check the actual numbers, focus fire the banes, etc. Even if the tanks had attacked before, it's not the same. Arguing that the drop benefited Yugioh because he could retreat, to me is very far from reality. He had a big army supply advantage and the surprise factor. With no drop, Flash would have no time to scan and focus fire, and maybe the game would have ended there. Flash would've scanned regardless, Yugioh took a hit on some roaches whilst setting up to push before the drop, alerting Flash to the attack. Saying Flash needed time to plan to focus the banes is ridiculous. He'd do it instantly, it's not like it's rocket science and he's defended enough of these attacks to react pretty much instantly.
Flash is human, and it is very likely that his attention was not there at that moment. He could be macroing then suddenly hears the tank shot, moves his screen to his 3rd, and by that time, everything is messed up.
Even if this was not the case, I find ridiculous to argue that the drop benefited Yugioh if anything. The guy invested a lot into an attack to end the game, and for some reason, your enemy has 5 minutes to prepare for an attack he didn't know it was coming until 5 seconds before. Does Flash take the same decisions in 5 seconds than in 5 minutes?. If yes, then I have nothing to add.

The emphasis was on crushing everyone and being ahead of its time, embodieng the species.
Also, SK not letting get fooled. yay

It is atm because imo Zerg have never had to stretch and achieve the full gamut of Zerg skills simultaneously to post results.
I'm not hopping on the Terran tears bandwagon by any means, but that race just got harder and harder to play as WoL progressed, as patches came in, as maps got bigger and bigger and took away many of the map features that were conducive to Terran play.

I think its perfectly fine that its hard to play. No one that posts here will ever (probably) lose because of high imbalances. They are not on a high enough level. Whenever I think about balance losing in a ladder game, I try to think what INnoVation would have done to my opponent and I realize , all my fault, all my mistakes.

We can also 'manually charge individual Zealots'.
A serious response to me calling him out on saying that Protoss = A-move race. Crux of my point being even in the hands of bots Protoss has less micro potential than the other races, there is literally not much you can do to push yourself in that sense.

He clearly was looking there, given that Yugioh attacked a widow man right before that, which prompted Flash to siege his tanks.

Even if that was the case, what I won't accept is that the drop benefited Yugioh, as someone argued.
