Fly vs LoveCD (Tiebreaker) LoveCD started the game with a Nexus first followed by a warp-prism sentry play to seal and kill Fly's main. However, LoveCD's force fields were not optimal, and Fly deflected the attack. LoveCD followed up with immortal all-in after tricking Fly by canceling the 3rd Nexus. Fly was not prepared for the all-in and lost the game. Fly vs Flash (Tiebreaker) Flash 14cc at the natural and walled-in in time to deflect Fly's harassment. Flash safely put down a 3rd while damaging Fly's economy with hellion harass. Fly scouted the 3rd and tried to do a roach hydra timing push. Flash read Fly's strategy and made a large amount of marauders coupled with tanks, widowmines, marines, and medivac. Flash deflected Fly's push and ended the game soon after. Thanks for the info, one of the few bits of actual Starcraft we can actually glean here lol. | ||

having your athlete play to represent korea (and your asian based company) at an olympic type event is a priority. Life does better for the redbull product overseas probably (I would guess). Those decisions made before the kespa qualifiers--i.e. Stats also got to get to represent KT at MLG. | ||

KT is a korean based company and thinks little about the western world. Pretty easy tournament with only one real competition (sOs), + gold medal + the title of "representing korea", considering how nationalistic koreans can be, the logical choice for Flash is to choose this tournament over MLG | ||

I really wanted Sen to win, but sigh forever third | ||

"The Starcraft games was very embarassing to say the least. China to send 2 of their Fifa and NFS players to join a Starcraft match instantly forfeited and gave Korea the freewin.Games between Qatar, China, and India are absolutely shitty - ones that you can see a player open with 1 gate 1 forge PvZ and start zealot production. Lets not even start taking about Flash vs Qatar, the result? Flash won in game 1 with a 2scv+1marine attack tvz. Won 2nd game with a full force 6 SCV attack." http://bawalgaleri.com/duskbin/?q=node/178 hahaha. | ||

The asian players outside of Korea are huge unknowns outside of a few well known ones (Sen + Macsed etc) Going into the tournament though, youd think itd be pretty much a clean sweep for both the players. | ||
