It's true lol, fly says he watched tossgirl practicing and "She doesn't seem to know SC2 at all."
And it was in 2009, at Shanghai World Expo, F91 and Super both lose to Tossgirl.

Right... cos we should just expect the latest maps and changed spawn positions in all tournaments and show matches even though this event is filled with wc3 and bw players that probably arent aware than non close position versions of these maps exist. Look at the maps played, they are all ladder or old maps not GSL maps cos nobody but the Koreans play them. Why would you put korean maps in a promotional tournament in china?

We cant be too critical of the competition and map pool cos we have no idea how tournaments are run in the chinese scene and what maps they use. Considering the Chinese server was the last to come online I wouldnt be surprised if they picked those maps because they were the most played and would give the chinese players the best chance against the koreans. That and this tournament had nothing to do with GSL/MLG who alter those maps. If the pool was, daybreak, belshir beach, xelnaga fortress and antiga shipyard then this tournament would be even more of a joke.

I think there was too much hype leading into this event ): no stream and no exposure for something that was done at such a big venue. CPL did better lol.

I'd like to correct you a little bit there. The recent Chinese tournament events (G series, PSTL team league) has GSL equivalent map pools with fixed map spawns, as well as the latest GSL maps (Dual Sight, Crevasse etc). For some inexplicable reason, the sponsor of this tournament is obviously unaware of the importance of utilizing a competitive map pool.

Otherwise the Chinese scene is as up to date as the rest of the world.

Moon 2-1 Nada. Nada goes 2 racks at 11 for game one and two. Moon holds and overwhelms Nada's 2 forward racks and takes over with double his supply in the first game. Nada does the same build in game 2 but gets his bunkers up in time and locks Moon in while massing marines and holding off a desperation nydus. Game 3 is a long macro game with all bases being taken. Moon late game transitions between mass infesters to brood to ultra and back to broods with mass baneling ling support. Nada goes mass tanks with thors and has to constantly defend nydus and drops from Moon in his main. 40 minutes game and eventually Nada runs out of income with no Vikings left to deal with broods. Moon with below average macro (was floating 3k, 2k mid game) but excellent execution.

Moon takes out MC and NaDa and loses to Loner due to close positions? Trollolololol.

(No offense to Loner; he's just not on the level of NaDa or MC. Though I guess it's nice to see him put up some results again. I don't even know if he's the best Terran in China anymore.)

Anyways, gg wp, Moon. What a boss. <3 And congrats to Loner for coming out ~$9k USD richer! I hope they release replays.

Any idea if they placed the bronze matches?


EDIT: Found a summary of NaDa vs. Moon match on reddit (thanks to mchang227):

Dear China,
What the fuck.

Moon loses due to close spawns. Lame, but there was probably some biased Chinese commentary blasting in the background too. No offense, but Chinese eSports has been notorious for their "home-crowd advantage," which isn't limited to its "fans." Of course this is all assumptions, so don't take it too seriously ^^

no offense but you probably don't even know about loner or the sc2 player in china because the china sc2 scene isn't open to america or europe, so you have no idea what you are talking about, how can you say hes not on the level of nada or MC when he beat the person that beat nada and MC....just a fyi Chinese were the second best at sc1, they were not considered foreigners in Korea

The surprise in this tournament isn't Loner winning Moon on close positions (seems to have been pre-determined based on those maps and positions), but Moon winning MC and Nada. How does Moon perform so well in international events?
