Gotta admit, I do prefer this choice of the seeds all being announced up-front.

You're basically the soO of TL posters, Boucot.
First started with 6 Protoss now there's only 1.

pretty reasonable result.. from the best european
WTF ?? Can't believe snute defended 15 hellbat + 3 thors with 1 spine and like 10 queens lol
Yoda at least will have stim.

I think VortiX just doesn't give a shit today. Loses 40 drones, wins. Gets pylon blocked and hatch down, wins.
Still no update on ForGG - Kas ? :/

He shouldn't be allowed to play from Korea theorically. You need to be either a player with EU nationality or living right now in EU.

I saw a post with pic yesterday here, he and Innovation are at airport in germany.
Here we go again. The dreaded Swarm Host play leading to a slow Protoss death animation.
I wonder if this will ever change. The SH removal doesn't seem likely anymore.
so fun to see First getting rekt so hard
Snute and MaNa get 2nd chances cause Kas can't attend IEM San Jose!!!!
why am I seeing swarmhosts?

I think Vortix is definitely top3 foreigner if he can actually focus on SC2
First needed some ravens
sick performance from Vortix, wp!!!
So, looks like we were wrong all along. The solution to be better at SC2 is actually to play another game.

This went much better than expected for ForGG

The more I think about it, the more I think only hatch first 15 pool or 10 pool or 13 drone scout are the only good builds vs 11/11.

I think it comes down to execution. And as far as I know 15/14pool doesnt make the pool faster than 15/15.

If he couldnt win a 11/11 against a nexus first, he'd be the second worst 11/11er after Happy.

He also beat MMA in GSTL in a big tomato suit when Azubu was on the brink of extinction.

Big love my man!
Trying to get back into SC2 on the side, was just reading through your Terran help me thread earlier :D
Does anything like a cookie-cutter build exist that I could use in all 3 matchups?
Like 1 build that would be decent(ish) for all 3?
Really having problems trying to learn multiple builds :x
whoa. ForGG is scary good right now

You can go Reaper expand in the 3 match-ups, but it can be a bit tricky in TvT and the transition isn't the same in TvZ and TvP.
well played ForGG
Yeah!!! ForGG!!!! About time we see him in a big event!!! :D
well done forgg,fighting through the losers bracket!! so now, when will the korean qualifer take place? and does anybody know if flash gets a spot for winning the last iem or does he have to play in the qualifer?
damn i really hope mma played from korea today with some significant lags.
