If anything taking two gases is a sign that you're getting out enough tech to take and secure an expo. In PvP at least.

All answers were good but this one since that game was obviously a blind counter. Should just say that. It's a good cheese for that map though since blink builds aren't very common on it while early expansions are.

He had a proxy robo long before the nat went down in any case so still doesn't add up. Unless was gonna do a proxy colossus build if he didn't see an expo but that wouldn't make sense either.

This. The reason for early DTs is not to kill but rather to be able to defend your fast expand and pressure his. Your opponents needs 2 obs before he can even think about attacking and by that time, your natural should be established with defenses. And there is no reason for Seed to lie. The games were over... I guess he could be mindgaming his next Protoss opponent but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

And Yonghwa did well at HSC. With the way LosirA is playing, he definitely needs to get back to code S.

He had the pylon down for the proxy but not the robo yet. After placing the pylon he sent that probe to scout what MC was doing and once he realised he was being greedy, he sent the probe back to drop the robo iirc.

I just watched the game again and he didn't see anything except the 2 gas before cancelling his 2nd gas and building the proxy robo.

What I think he meant was that he saw that MC was going for a defensive, into expo build (I dunno, but DT expand builds seem to be pretty popular on that map) so maybe seeing the way MC was playing told him it was a build which was going towards an expo. Somehow... but it was still quite blind how he executed that build.

Jeong, Woo Seong handed out the prize so how did that feel?

I feel that it's common courtesy to face someone in the eyes when you talk to them but in this case, he was so good looking that it was a bit intimidating. I'm so happy to have had the chance to talk to Mr Jeong and shake his hand.


Hahahahaha, dem koreans man.

No, not "this", 2 gas can mean anything, but most definetely not the earliest of 'naturals', Seed had a proxy robo going way before he got a glimpse of anything, he was gonna do the build regardless of whatever MC did is my point.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

Maybe he was going for another proxy-Robo strategy? I believe that he placed down his gates after scouting the natural, so perhaps he didn't intend to go for a 4-gate WP.

And you know this because? Pro players can spot things that we cannot. 2 gases at certain timings might mean certain builds to pros. The fact that MC did expand and the fact that there was no reason for him to lie about it makes me lean towards his answer.

Before the finals, I didn't pay much attention to this. However, once I had actually won and stood alongside Nestea and MVP, the realisation hit me. I'm extra happy about the fact that our team won the GSL twice in a row since LG Electronics started sponsoring us.


It better not be those screens that Mvp kept promoting in his interview about LG sponsoring IM. Did those screens give IM a Protoss champion?!
