All I need is Jila to lose and for PartinG to win... Classic, a Creator loss, and a PartinG win is what I need after that dreadful KT vs. CJ result. :D
SKT T1 without a terran in the lineup makes me sad such a legacy Prime without a terran Im still not used to either D: Fantasy BravO and ByuN please return

Im most looking forward to seeing how good Jila (Kal) PvZ is, i mean his build for PvP was great, he looked really sharp, but PvZ completely different story, going interesting to see what he can do vs the beast that is SKT T1 Soulkey!!!!!!!!!

Kal is definitely the most interesting player on Prime right now.

proleague was mainly toss last year as well, it seems that kespa players just have more good toss players than that of other races
Yeah, most top terrans are somehow not on Kespa teams, TaeJa, Innovation, MMA, Polt, Bomber. A bunch of the zergs too, Life/Jaedong for example. There's a bit of a disparity there, it's not in itself a sign of balance but somehow Kespa seems to have all the good Protoss, and way fewer of the other races.
Oh I love Proleague, missed these weird but funny commercials, the team intros and all that jazz. I can hardly wait for the funny player interviews, the compilation of awkward moments and of course mind time!

ive said this before, but there is a reason why we see so few new terrans. The old esf terrans who have played for 3 years master the race to perfection and can at times make it look imba. At the same time its incredibly hard for new terrans to reach that level. This is what makes innovation stand out and why its so impressive that he has reached the level he has so fast. With all the talented kespa players, known for their hardwork and mechanics etc, its surprising there are so few terrans. Its a bit naive to think its only because kespa has alot of good protoss.
I guess back in the day other terrans could, like some protoss players today, have success with cute builds and 1 base plays. But thats not possible for terran in 2/3 matchups anymore. You can have alot of different protoss players who can fill a role and are good at certain styles but all the terran players need to be all round to be able to contribute to there team.
the best thing about this new studio is that the hosts can really interact with the crowd. it seems funner to go to watch a game than in the OGN or Sindorim studio

He did a nice proxy with arguably poor micro, good scout on the (potential) proxy hatch, arguably failed follow up push with late expo, and then random immo sentry transition because that's the protoss go to when your "super smart" build order ends. Don't see where nice timings and punish greed have anything to do with that.

You really underestimate Immortals and sentries...
The immortal all-in follow up was clever because, Kal knew Soulkey had to play a bit greedy to catchup after that early game deficit. Not sure if he planned it like that or it was a reaction to the fact he couldn't finish it off right there and then with the zealot warp in, but anyway it was smart and it was well executed.

Talking about the micro that happened during the proxy. Getting your zealot surrounded two times in a row in a mineral line is a real blunder imho.

That guy is right, his Proxy ended up with poor control and his first Zealot and a Probe got surrounded by Drones, while if he waited for 2 more Zealots that came like 20 seconds later, he would have won it right there, pretty much... And you are deluded if you think that clicking on Immortal and clicking him to move away from enemy units is good micro.
Not to balance whine or anything, but I still didn't see anything impressive that game, it looked like 2 cheese combined into one, then followed up by Oracles and then by Immortal all-ins. The only impressive things were Soulkey's holds, but that is also because Kal was messing up with those cheeses early in the game, but it all ended with Immortal all-in, so it doesn't really matter.

Why are the Prime players so good? I mean, I expected them to be crushed in every single map and so far... they did decent against IM and SKT - it won't get that much harder in the future :o

Creator got overconfident after leaving the first battle with 3 colossus, he also slips a few important micros. That said, Rain is always so clutch in late game

Yeah, as opposed to starting his 3rd, adding more production and going back home to defend it, or at the very least, posture at Rain's own 3rd so he can't expand again and then recall back once his own 3rd is finished.

Players don't see the entire map like we do.
That's what you have hallucinations for, so you don't just walk into something like that.

Rain's army was split in 3, creator possibly didn't see one of the groups and decided to attack because he killed the third so easily and figured Rain's supply was too low.
Still, if it wasn't for the sick warp prism/immortal micro and chase, creator would have been equal or just at a small disadvantage.

Im pretty sure creater didnt see part of rain army going for the concave... they dont have the vision we do and in my opinion it wasnt a bad assumption, it was amazing that Rain manage to "see" that and make that move while under that much pressure
Creator got outplayed but not because he took a bad decision

as the colossus player you are supposed to play very passive. after such a huge strike (ie killing the 3rd) you need to fall back almost always, since your robo reinforcement are so far away and you have already done your job. so yes, he did take a terrible decison even without seeing what he walks into (which then again a colossus player should never do). too many unnecessary risks taken. punished.

With 1 base economy, nearly no drones, no defense, PartinG finished tech and GWs. He would fall even farther behind on eco by having to make army to defend against PartinG's pressure and he would have died.

No economy. Plus with all the sentries PartinG had made, he was due for some (immo) sentry action like 1 min afterwards. That's how sentry count works.

When doing an all-in like that, you always stop drone production at 15-20, otherwise you wont have enough lings to deal damage. The third hatch is for larva and to fake opponent out if scouted.

I wouldn't say that, lol. That would be quite the feat if they did. I mean even in the other format I'd say it wouldn't happen, but in this format? Higher probability of happening. They'll lose a few throughout the season. ;9

Check my sig I like proxies and protoss though TT
I'm honored. I don't mind proxies and protoss matchups, I just dislike when there's almost nothing else for two days straight.
Sigh, I still think we can do it. Make the playoff and such. But I still get sad every time people start hating on Prime. I know it's what "the kool kids" do these days. But I still think it's sad. I mean, Gerrard does his best, so do the players. I can only be proud of them.
Go Prime. I love you guys. Never give up, never surrender.
Also: Even though losing MKP and Maru, stay strong. You guys can do it. I know the Prime players/coach probably won't read this. But seriously stay strong.

I mean, I believe in Kal. But the only games he played was a cheese against Soulkey, and a straight up build order win against HerO (lucky MSC snipe into a win). I still want to see him win a straight up macro game.
Hopefully we won't be last. I just hate being the laughing stock.

As a Prime fan, I'm getting used to it after a couple GSTLs and now PL.
All this poor me I'm a prime fan whining is ruining the moment for SKTs victory. I didn't know it became cool to hate on prime or that whining about being a prime fan is the new trend. Have some pride for your team and start talking shit. It's only the first week of PL lol. This is the talk is expect from the bottom halfers in the fourth round.

I agree, the best part of proleague is proclaiming how good your team and how bad everyone else is is the best part. If you're not cocky, you're not allowed to be a fan of said team.
Why the hell does Kal do this to me. He looks hopeless in preseason, prompting an anti team pick, then wins both of his first two matchups, one against Soulkey. Just why.

My anti team is all protoss and they all won their matches haha. I guess I should have listened reddit and twitch chat about the race hmmm

I will probably regret this is in the morning but ah well.
I have pride in cheering for my team, don't you worry. I've cheering for them for almost 3 years now, waking up in the morning, doesn't matter what time it is. I make shops for them, cheer for them even though they lose almost every match. But everytime they lose, I have to witness people just hating on them for no reason. I'm proud of Prime, really. SKT deserves this win. Hell, Prime has giving this community one of the best Terran to ever play this game, not once, but three times. It just saddens me. (I know it's people trolling but still).
And yes, it has been 'cool' to hate on Prime for several seasons now. But well, I guess it's hard to realise for someone who cheers for a team who can literally buy everyone and anything in this scene.

Ok the VODs i linked on twitch i just been informed are for subs only lol fuck im dumb. Just upated OP with VODs to each individual set in English on YouTube
I feel like Kal's approach to his game against Soulkey is very clever. Soulkey is by far the more established player in SC2, known for his solid defensive play. I think Kal is smart to bring the game into some chaotic, uncharted territory, where Soulkey can't just switch on autopilot. Very well prepared game by Kal.
On the other hand, I have to say, Terror's game against PartinG is very ill prepared. It's simply the wrong strategy to use against PartinG. Maybe on players like sOs, but if you've watched PartinG's games you know this kind of ling gimmicks is not going to work against him. Remember season 1's group of death and PartinG's remarkable hold against Life's 10 pool? with that ridiculous sim city and rock solid composure? Remember in that very same season, when Soulkey killed PartinG's natural with lings and PartinG still managed to come back and win?
Creator against Rain... it's a very close game for the most part, but Creator's decision to commit on that last fight was a little strange (altho granted, Rain's army control in such a situation was truly remarkable). Also, I feel like going Colossus off of 2 bases is simply not a strong choice anymore.
Just finished the VODs of the week :D Amazing and hilarious strat by Kal, amazing engagement micro and WP+Immortal micro by Rain, amazing hold by PartinG! Very impressive show by SKT!
Really amazing hold by Parting.Failed cheese like that deserves a ceremony. I guess 'twas prime coaches decision to cheese Parting and at the end it made Terror devastated.
