Tired of the rock paper scissors references to mirrors. There are ways to gain advantages but definitely there are also methods of deduction that can be used to weigh out your opponent. Ultimately, the better player wins he majority and duckdeok will win again.

I think NaNiwa will win 2-1 tomorrow with some exciting games.

I can't predict Maru vs Scarlett, but if Maru do some weird cheeses he might win.

Innovation is a so big surprise, as well as MMA for many people.

There's no 2 surprises without a third, shall we see another WTF advance tomorrow? Or an unexpected top 2 (like WCS KR this season)?
Well, it's high noon somewhere in the world

His game 3 vs Taeja on Newkirk can be considered best game of the year, so yes he has show really impressive play, but its just so shocking that he went from playing in the best game of the year to playing so mediocre in just the span of a few minutes.

Looks like Innovation's mental fortitude really is bogus.

Not surprised at Innovation losing, Mvp just put a one season delay on his curse.

You know what's funny? If Naniwa wins tomorrow it would only add to his proof that PvP is coinflip, but I doubt he'd mind.

Never change Jaedong, never change.


So is he going to stomp his way to the finals, then go 0-4?

"and still managed to throw in an epic failure game to keep the "Jaedong vs. Protoss" storyline alive."

Hold on now. That was an incredible game, definitely the second best after Taeja vs Innovation today. Jaedong made a bad attack, but it's pretty ridiculous to just define a game which will probably be one of the top games of the year (look at the poll for it yourself) as an "epic fail". Just dumb to paint sick comebacks purely as terrible throws.

But it really was a throw and Jaedong himself characterized it as a throw. Not to take anything away from MC but he should have never won that game if it wasn't for the "monk" Jaedong giving away many free units.

Yeaaaah I was confused with that one. Honestly what lost the game for me from Jaedong was standing in storms with 39 mutas instead of popping in and out of an army in the middle of the map and threatening the counter.

But still, it was a great game from both players. Most recommended game of the day for me, though I haven't got to watching Taeja vs Innovation yet...
