What i got out of watcing innovation today (combined with his 0-4 to maru) , is that he goes on tilt HARD if his confidence is shaken. im pretty sure thats what happened vs Naniwa, as well as once he was down 0-2 to maru.
just to clarify: im NOT saying this is an excuse. its vital for a pro to be able to stay composed under high pressure. rather that it is a massive weakness and should be fully exploited by his opponents.
(kinda like scarletts weakness to cheese sad to say)

I love Naniwa's reasoning behind his loss. The rock paper scissors was supposed to show he won based on luck? There's also a mind game in predicting what to do, and duckdeok was able to read naniwa.

when a pattern emerges, you might wanna reevaluate the rock paper scissors attitude.

You need a big sample to have a pattern ^^

Great picture. :D

What a game Taeja vs INnoVation Game 3 was. So good...

Really surprised to see INnoVation just drop out of the tournament. I really expected him to be a finals contender. Sad to see Scarlett lose to aLive, but I hope she pulls through against Maru so I have a foreigner to root for. I'm also glad Jaedong is finally showing what his JvP is really made of. FANTASTIC tournament so far and I can only imagine that the games get better from here.

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

Long live Jae Kong!

Meh at Naniwa, PvP is not a coin flip...look at people like Elfi or MC - PvP winrates of over 70% in big sample sizes - coinflip? B&*^%# Please. I bet my left sock he loses to the Almighty Duck again.

Innovation : who knows?

Jaedong: Sweet Holy Snapdragons I was impressed.

Taeja: Oooo is this Taeja of old? Or a reincarnation of godly finesse!? Or Both...after watching these groups, he is my pick for the tourney!

Great games...

Rain, The Duck, First and Maru to go through!

I really hope Scarlett can beat Maru today. I'm excited to see Naniwa still has a chance though. I must watch his games against Bogus now!

Day 1 was freakin awesome. Several really fantastic games, bosstoss comeback on whirlwind against Jaedong, some upsets, good production. I could not be any happier with this tournament so far ^^

The first day was terrible for me. Out of the 8 decisions made, Bomber advancing was the only one I was happy about. I need to like better players.

i agree, if it really is as paper rock scissor as he claims, then everyone would be closer to 50%, but there are goood pvp players out there, he just isnt one of them
