jjakji vs Leenock, great finals. Tasteless screaming "OH NO THE BANSHEE!" some game on Whirlwind (I think?). Several GSTL moments (Tails winning vs Mvp/Nestea, qxc all-kill on IM, Huk winning ace match for oGs).
My favorite GSL memories are HerO 3-0ing Supernova, HerO getting through his Ro16 group after the Leenock-Antiga-Disaster, and obviously Mvp vs Squirtle.
Solar must win this! This match is important for Rain! This match is important for sOs! EffOrt has the #1 headband! - Rain is at ~ 26.77 % chances to qualify for Blizzcon 2014 ~ 62.07 % of the time Rain wins this match and their Blizzcon chances go up to ~ 35.61 %. ~ 37.93 % of the time Rain loses this match and their Blizzcon chances go down to ~ 12.31 %. ------------------------------------------------- - sOs is at ~ 83.69 % chances to qualify for Blizzcon 2014 ~ 52.78 % of the time sOs wins this match and their Blizzcon chances go up to ~ 93.52 %. ~ 47.22 % of the time sOs loses this match and their Blizzcon chances go down to ~ 72.69 %. ------------------------------------------------- - Solar is at ~ 7.87 % chances to qualify for Blizzcon 2014 ~ 52.77 % of the time Solar wins this match and their Blizzcon chances go up to ~ 14.62 %. ~ 47.23 % of the time Solar loses this match and their Blizzcon chances go down to ~ 0.34 %. ------------------------------------------------- - EffOrt is at ~ 0.01 % chances to qualify for Blizzcon 2014 ~ 32.37 % of the time EffOrt wins this match and their Blizzcon chances go up to ~ 0.02 %. ~ 67.63 % of the time EffOrt loses this match and their Blizzcon chances go down to ~ 0 %.

He has had one of the best ZvT's for a long time (stating with that surprising game in PL vs Maru, where he was chosen as ace), he also was the player who challenged Flash the most during the KeSPA cup qualifiers! (Yea the score was 2-0 but game 2 was really really close after a disadvantage, compared to that Soulkey looked easy!)
His ZvP has been really really good since his Code S group (b4 it looked kinda lackluster) he dominated Classic, making it look really really freaking easy, and played waaay better than sOs in their game..
Idk about his ZvZ since i try to avoid that MU, but yea those two have been really good for atleast some time :D

That feat though, he doesn't go outside of Korea does Pro League where he has a medium record i agree. However shove him into GSL and he is 3 finals in a row, thats sick! xD No one done that in any of the WCS EU/NA equivalents right?

Scouting the SG right after it's started is actually the best worst-case scenario for Rain. He can cancel and switch plans immediately. And he did it perfectly.

Do you guys think, that using roach - zergling for a counter attack; giving up the third and positioning the swarmhosts in the natural could have worked ?

I was kind of hoping that effort wouldn't reveal he saw the stargate right away and just prepared for it perfectly, but oh well

Yeah that's pretty much the actual best answer to a scouted proxy.
I love the fact that EffOrt actually cancels his creep tumors when they are beeing attacked, waaay to few Zergs do this, I kno it is hard and stuff, but if you got the mechanics, thats just a little thing you can do to have a little edge over the competition :D

EffOrt looked really really strong vs. sOs and especially vs Classic, he basically just stomped him into the ground, it wasn't even close, however I guess EffOrt might be a bit hit or miss with his performance
But on an on day, I'd say he has some pretty sick ZvP

You can't take the lower one as quickly because of the rocks, in this game sOs made a quick wall with I think 4 Pylons and a Forge so he could fend off the Speedlings.

ah, thanks Couldnt see if he canceled the third due to dead stream :p
I only caught the end of it, though for some reason you can watch the youtube stream @ 1080p so if the English stream comes back on Twitch I'm just going to use that for audio and use the Youtube one for me peepers
If tomorrow Flash advances first, one half of the bracket would consist of Rain vs Zest and Flash vs Stats....teamkill and another potential Rain vs Flash (their on the same part of KeSPA Cup bracket too), both of them need WCS points to get to Blizzcon...

So, after the attack, Effort is at ~100 supply, with 1300/1300 in his bank, and isn't producing anything except 2 Drones for 15 seconds, like asking himself what to produce, and then against THAT army made of Colossi, Stalkers and Voids, he made 20 Roaches.

Yeah...
Did he have larva?
I am not sure, but not having Larvae and having 1300/1300 at that stage isn't good either.

Effort looked so solid in the Ro32, however he just got stomped on. I feel bad for effort but I'm really happy that sOs wins that. So, hopefully sOs can make it out of the group. However, that seems unlikely given Solar's strength.

He always looked lost in ZvP, lol. Idk, what happened in Ro32 when EffOrt just played his 2 best ZvP series in whole SC2, guess he just wasted all his karma there.
Let's go, Kim Yoo Jin, time to find a teamkill in Ro8.!

I'm rooting for sOs since I really like the guy, on Jinair as well. I hope he wins. However, I think this is going to be a tough match up for sOs. Solar's ZvP is just amazing.

Observers.

Observers are essential if you're fighting against burrowed roaches. It may feel wrong to see roaches un-burrow under a Protoss army but one must remember that sOs had no observers for detection.
This does kind of go to show how bad Protoss gateway units are without force-fields.

sOs did have an obs. The roaches just closed in so quickly it didn't make a difference.

Observers.

Observers are essential if you're fighting against burrowed roaches. It may feel wrong to see roaches un-burrow under a Protoss army but one must remember that sOs had no observers for detection.
This does kind of go to show how bad Protoss gateway units are without force-fields.

sOs did have an obs. The roaches just closed in so quickly it didn't make a difference.
This!
Also, talking about cheesy player, Solar showed more cheeses today ,-)

my bad :p
Well, his strat just allowed Solar to get into a position where he could get that many burrowed roaches I guess. I guess Solar won strategically since he was able to get out an army that beat sOs's. Still, observers are kind of necessary against burrowed Roaches, it just makes sense to me.
Fuck this. Well, anyway, sOs has decent chance to get to Blizzcon, just needs to beat Reality in KeSPA Cup and get those 400 points, will be enough.
Hope, soO doesn't disappoint tomorrow and hope Rain wins GSL now. Well, either soO or Rain.

Lol, please. sOs just can't deal with Solar, it's as balanced matchup as Bisu-Shine.

Sorry, I was not talking about the players absolute ideal level, but rather about the skill and level of play displayed today : very one sided games and overall not as good as group A and C.
I mean the only game that people noted well is the canon rush frenzy that was solar sos game 1.
It has been a weak group in terms of quality of games, not really on par with what we usually see in GSL, imho

He just has to win against Reality in KeSPA Cup, even if he doesn't win anything more he's going to be on 2850 and it should be enough if nothing extraordinary happens like Flash winning GSL, Rain winning KeSPA Cup, soO getting in the fourth final again, viOlet and Pigbaby being in WCS AM finals and so on.
But honestly, they should really award GSL guys with 1,5-2x points at least :D
+ sOs is playing at D.C, and if he advances from the group there, it should be 3k+ and 3000 is just benchmark to be sure in your future.

Didn't realize he was already that far up. Maybe sOs will get paid twice this year after all :p

Yeah what's up with the lack of pages? I would have thought that Rain, sOs and EffOrt would have a lot of viewers
