qxc on fire, I love that. And it means that there is no korean only overall finals, which is great from my point of view. Don't know if he is able to compete in these huge macro battles, but hell, his micro is just awesome.
And I like TLO, but it's definitely good to have a top zerg player in the semi finals. 3 terran players are not really fun to watch (though TLO used to play zerg against terran, don't know if he still does)

Good work Qxc, was fun to see some Thor action.
IdrA, if I can't root for TLO I'll get behind you. Show them your best zerg please and take this whole tournament!

I'm sad to see TLO go down like that. His auto-repair SCVs auto-repaired each other.

Greedy fools. But at any rate, it is nice we don't have too many terrans in the finals. Can't wait for the countdown!

Tbh I think TLO did very well! Or, ofc he did, but even considering the hype around him. Imo he could be a dominating force when you consider how little he has played compared to some of the top Koreans!

This is purely my point of view: TLO is a master of switching his gameplay up and being creative in general, as we constantly hear day9 talk about. The problem is, I think, that his build orders still need a lot of subtle tweaks to be perfected simply because he hasn't practised as much as some of his competitors and because he doesn't simply rely on one or two cookie cutter builds to get him through his games. If he somehow found the time to really practise on the scale of the most dedicated players, I think he would be a monster.

It sucks that he doesn't seem to play Z anymore though! Still my favorite player

Idra is also really good and I think Z's weakness shows when he plays. He's so solid but still, as Z, you have to be extremely focused at all times to know when exactly to shift your production from powering drones to units. It's a really delicate balance that even a player such as Idra can have trouble managing, in spite of his solid and consistent gameplay.

Oh, and Tester is a beast!
