I don't think this is aLive. Seriously. There is no micro at all.

I've always found his tvz micro to be rather lackluster for a Korean Terran stretching back to WoL

He's never been THAT bad

Idk can't say cause I'm not able to watch but his splitting vs banes is typically poor for someone on his level. It sounds like it was completely absent this time though

he literally ran into them.

Obviously lag is not even close to the only factor, Suppy played really well. I may look up winrates to help my point, but online KR to NA series are way more prone to upsets. Everyone goes full "America holds!' and then the ro16 rolls around and suddenly there's only Koreans left and everyone goes "Wait i thought foreigners had improved."

This is a really well thought out build by Ian. The overlord snipe followed by the spore as part of the wall-off is pretty cool. Still have to favour Check overall; he just seems like the more well rounded player.

Online series are more prone to upsets regardless of what server they're playing on. NA vs NA, EU vs KR, KR vs NA. KR vs KR. It's just how the game works, LAN Tournament > Online Tournament > Ladder > Practice Game. Beating someone at a LAN is how you prove you're better than someone :D

Agreed, which is why i think the format of 1 single online bo5 to basically determine if you have any shot at decent earnings for the year, let alone a chance at Blizzcon is pretty harsh. But again, people who supported a region lock are probably happy about this and I'm not sure if my opinion is the majority or not haha

For the last time, since it's been mentioned three or four times already, losing one series to a foreigner doesn't mean you have to retire. He got picked up by a super healthy team really recently, and it would make no sense for him to retire right now. I think he's far more likely to put his nose to the grindstone and practice than give up

Man, contaminates were a rarity when I followed the scene. Glad to hear they're being used a lot now :D
