WOOOO Time to watch MKPs <3 Hoping for a nice solid TvZ from MKP to put some faith back in his fans xD I hope Sora wins if MKP wins too, so MKP can then practice his TvP as he struggled (i think) in that match yesterday going 0-3 vs P
Slow upgrades cost MKP there, if he only had a +1 ready on that push he originally hit he probably wins the game there. Being behind in upgrades and supply vs Z is a slippery slop

He was really behind on everything after his 8/8/8 attempt failed.

He was really behind on everything after his 8/8/8 attempt failed.
But it didn't fail that hard. He got a hatch stopped and forced early pool/speedling. He then had his CC being built in stim being made at the same time as the hatch went down. 3rd hatch came up and he had a reasonable army going over to Soulkeys base when Soulkey just had lings. a +1 weapon and maybe few more units and MKP wins game on that push
Looked like Soulkey had that drone scout timed perfectly to hit right before he expanded. The drone that was going to become a hatchery was in position and everything and then he scouts no barracks in the main and drops the pool and gas. Perfect for playing against MKP, who is either all cheese or all greed.

MKP's early push delayed his third and his upgrades and, most crucially, his Medivacs.
Soulkey defended that marine heavy attack without taking that much damage, really. He didn't lose many drones, he didn't have to cancel his upgrades, he didn't lose hatchery. That was pretty much a failed attack.

Gumiho thought Sora was going for a base trade, because he moved his main army to the left and towards the natural of Sora. Sora then pulled back, blocked the main army from entering the natural and then recalled.
If Gumiho instead had moved to the fourth and then third, he could've done so much more damage with either his main army or his doom drop.
Very wp of Sora! I didn't follow SPL that much, did he have good results there?
hahaha sora's family in the crowd. that was fun to see. awesome run for this guy so far. so solid. ro4 grats, win one of the next two sets and you get to go to WCG.

Sometimes this kind of game deserves a better poll (or no polls at all because it's a must watch). You dont wanna watch good starcraft?
Because the poll options don't spoiler at all?
Saying "Game 1 was really fucking awesome" and not explaining why really does not spoil anything aside from the fact that the game was good, which is what these polls are supposed to do, no?

Yeah but saying highly recommended long game does spoil something at least about the length :o
Sora what a beast! If he actually take out Soulkey... well you are really good then. As usual, Parting is always performing when the tournament start with "W" except WCS though I don't see him taking out Innovation. Sora 2-0 Soulkey (14 winning streak incoming) Innovation 2-0 Parting ( Easy game =)) Sora 2-0 Innovation ( New CJ Ace incoming)

Sora got outmaneuvered at almost every turn and still won. sorry Gumi, it doesn't matter how brilliant your multi-tasking or micro is in this match-up.

Your so called outmaneuver is him killing one nexus, while losing most of his army.
Gumiho did damages because he traded army for bases, and that's why he lost. It is usually a bad idea to trade army for bases. If he didn't commit the army to kill nexus, then he would face Protoss death ball later due to good Econ for sora, also not easy, so basically sora outplayed him.

Sora managed to lose nexi to 4 marauder drops HAVING HIS ARMY AT HIS NEXUS. And he lost a nexus to 4 marine drop that first killed his entire probe line, and then killed a nexus.
He got spanked on multi-tasking. Sad part is that Protoss doesn't need any economy after getting high tech units into play.

Yeah marauders tend to kill buildings rather quickly... I dislike the notion that he got "spanked" at multi tasking. Its not terribly difficult to constantly load up marauders and boost them over to expansions. Sora defended Gumi's relentless pressure cost efficiently, which is the key thing.

If Sora wins 2-0 over Soulkey, he will tie for the longest GSL/WCG/OSL/Proleague win streak in SC2 history in Korea. Nestea and Squirtle both have 14 straight wins. Don't think anyone has done better.
