At this point I think grubby loses the series unless he can overcome the Templar curse a second time.

holy crap I did not expect grubby to lose so quickly after that mistake vortix did, and grubby taking down that whole first army.

He killed some sentries and took down the energy on the rest of them, and the MSC too. He even retained some of his hydras, honestly wasn't even ''a hold''.
It appears I have been chosen.

He would have to have Collo to hold that third right?

It just doesn't seem possible to economically trade w/ gateway + immortal vs hydra/roach/speedling over and over.

Never saw that new units lost tab before which details exactly which units were killed. I was waiting for a feature like this, and I'm so glad WCS EU is taking the initiative with this.

they implented it in the last patch.
you might go nuts if you havent seen the zoomout yet.

I know about the zoom-out feature, I've just never seen the new units lost tab. I don't see WCS EU frequently, and I have yet to see WCS Korea or NA use it, so its new to me.

Man Grubby looks extremely uncomfortable/nervous. I don't know how his meditating or whatever works for him but to me he doesn't look like he's in the right mindset for competition. o_O

VortiX's style contrasts with most other Zergs I've seen recently playing against an early Protoss third. While most play for the late-game with +1 Missile Attacks early and going for a fourth with Hive, VortiX prefers the aggression, which I like to see.


Don't all (Kespa) Korean pros play like that? Hydra, Effort, Soulkey. All the strong ZvPers play quite offensive as far as I remember.

Keep in mind that Grubby is a smart player who learns from his mistakes and adapts his playstyle after a loss.

That's what he always does, he tries to keep his cool. He's been a competitor for so many years, I think he knows what works .

Please tell me how finale aka duckdeok is a no name? That no name Korean was in Code S too.


results speak for themselves

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Duckdeok/Results

One brief Code S appearance, and a top 16 at NASL season 4

He is not a no-name, people know who Finale is if they've watched GSTL and GSL.

If name is based off results like he said, wouldnt that make nearly every foreigner a no name?

I.... I guess so.

I think it exposes how ridiculous it is for people to say people are known by results alone. FFS, only one guy can win every tournament. It's not like there's one a week and it's common to be a champion.


Basically it's claiming that a "no-name" Korean = Hasn't won a GSL/ MLG/ DH, which is hilarious because those Koreans can still beat the best (let alone the average) foreigner.


Yeah that is probably the main reason for the decline of SC2 as e-sport.


I hear there's a tombstone already picked out for e-sports.


Well the other games seems to being doing okay. No of course SC2 is not going die completely but I honestly think that KESPAs movement into SC2 is in a long term perspective will cause a dramatic reduction in the amount of people watching SC2.

Korea was already heavily dominating before, now they started to dominate twice as hard and that was the last thing SC2 needed. Not only do we have a situation were 95 out of the 100 best players are from one country which of course is terrible thing on it own. However to make things even worse have 90% of these players almost no means for connecting to an audience outside of Korea.

Not only do they have a introverted/none public personalities but are also none exclusively monolingual, only communicating in a language that extremely few people outside of South Korea understand.

So yeah, it is just bad all around for SC2 as a whole.


You realize there's a whole lot of games other than SC2, DotA2 and LoL right?



Yeah, but I do however not realize how that information relates to my post

He lost a lot of energy and too many sentries to hold the first wave, he was doomed as vortix chose to continue trading.

You say "Well the other games seems to being doing okay. " even though SC2 is almost consistently the #3 game on Twitch, sometimes even #2. How is it doing so poorly again?
