That's only because the maps almost promoted it because it was the most sure-fire and quickest way to win. The new maps being used in the GSTL which will be used for GSL5 are much more macro-orientated | ||

Assuming you're talking about  FruitDealer and NesTea, I guess that ZENEXKyrix, oGsZenio, July, and oGsTheWinD don't count.Either way, that is a huge shame, especially for the viewers as, at least personally, the zerg matchups are amongst the best to watch. However, there is a huge amount of zergs in Code A and a lot have a good chance to go up. + Show Spoiler + Cezanne, Ret, Yugioh/Leenock, Junwi, Moonglade, Losira | ||

GSL and Korea have the best executed 1 base timing pushes/all-ins in the world. They're games may be less entertaining than non-Korean games, but they still play at a much higher skill level than the rest of the world. They're inherently aggressive because aggression is the best way to win against passive players. The Koreans who macro actually macro quite well, yet they also play with the trademark Korean aggression that make the games more action-packed and less passive compared to non-Korean games. No matter what, Korea will always be at the forefront of skill and the metagame due to their environment and culture, though non-Koreans are catching up in skill. It has been beneficial for Idra or any other Westerner to experience and be immersed in what is arguably one of the best cultures in the world for competitive gaming, and hopefully he will disseminate his newfound knowledge and experience with the rest of the NA scene. | ||

He also guaranteed that Clide and Zenio probably won't have to play the up/down and risk dropping to Code A since they get a free win from Idra. | ||

Why is it that people assume Koreans can't macro and can only all in? They all in because they're good at it. I have never seen aggression on the US Ladder the way I see it in Korean games. Most Koreans CAN macro very very well. I can believe Mvp macros better than say Jinro, who has amazing late game but not very good early game. Thing is, the best way to kill off a passive player is to hit him constantly with harass early on. Take Ret for example. The guy has very good macro. But what good is that when you literally make 40 drones before any lings? Just because you see Koreans rushing more than foreigners doesn't mean koreans can't macro. It means foreigners can't be aggressive. Watch some mlg games and notice how alot of the players can't even handle a simple poke early game. | ||

I think July would do okay and Moonglade/ret have a chance but NesTea FD and idrA were the only ones who could stand up to the top players | ||

I don't feel that Fruit Dealer is a particularly powerful player anymore. I'd put him as an A-class(not Code A) Zerg. Very good, just a step below where he should be to truly be one of the absolute greatest. Out of all of the Code A Zergs, my hope lies in Losira. Dude's a boss. | ||
