I might have misread, but did you just say that spreading creep and going up to 88 drones is bad vs Terran?

he said that doing neither isnt good

yeah a lot of things look OK in FireCake's vT, but this is definitely underwhelming.

Not for a lack of trying. Polt's reaper killed every creep tumor firecake put down in the early game.

i love the creep mechanic but i hate how pivotal it is in zvt if zerg doesnt spread they die and if terran doesnt deny they die, its too much of an advantage

I think Nerchio once said it the best: "Zerg is too weak off the creep and too strong on the creep."

TaeJa has been basically retired since Blizzcon, he probably didn't even actually prepare for IEM Katowice and Code A.

What luck 2 of the best 3 of 16 get into the same group now one has to go out 2nd in the group. Hey now Snute can face a terran in the rd of 8.

Naa, it will probably be Polt vs Forgg and the winner of that faces the winner of Hydra vs someone in the semis, and snute goes to the finals to get those sweet wcs points.

cmon Snute is top 4 this tournament, reaching the final wouldn't be much bracket luck for him


Oops that wasn't very clear. I just remembered mid sentence that Snute wanted Polt in the next round. I was sarcastically implying that it would suck for whoever went first in the other groups that not Polt, that would have to face Polt in the round of 8, or for Polt himself if its him vs ForGG.

About Snute i think he showed to be in good form so is ahead of Bunny as our foreign hope. I actualy favor him against Polt slightly.

I'm more amazed that Team Liquid is allowing him to represent the team in his current form. I understand his wrists are poor but shouldn't they at least release a press release or something?

we've seen over and over that the ability to beat Code S players outside of Korea doesn't translate to the ability to make a strong run in GSL.

2012 Naniwa and 2015 MMA are the only exceptions so far

At this point I feel obligated that this group only has 2 koreans, because hydra LOST to Showtime.
