I could see vortix actually taking out keen, would not be thaatttt much of an upset hrm

Yeah, I think VortiX will beat him, but we'll see.

And I'd love to see Kas beat Life, I hope he shows up in the same shape as when he smashed Symbol last MSI Cup.

Life is such a huge whiner lol. He keeps saying that toss is imba rofl, if he looked at his own games, it just him that sucks. His series against Elfi was hilarious. It was like watching GSL Season 2 again!

liked the keen interview, thks for the good job

Judging by recent results in Korea, I think he's correct. DRG has been having an extremely tough time lately (Round of 4 and TAC3 ace match versus hero he didn't look like the best Zerg in the world that many people recognize him to be (or top 5 for that matter.) Also I know symbol and nestea both lost to kespa but I don't remember If both played toss or just one. even in Europe recently (WCS for Norway, Sweden, Denmark) only one Z was in the finals which was sortof and he played better than probably even he expected. 2 base timings are extremely hard to hold for
Example in game 3 of DRG MC, MC was doing a 2 base attack with warp prism, DRG saw it coming, killed sentries as they were coming out of the prism and stopped his main from getting FOrce Fielded off and
He still lost (as argueably the best player in the world.) just my modest opinion.

DRG has been playing like a diamond leaguer lately (and before he started playing like crap I'm pretty sure he said he felt like he would always win if he didn't mess up in ZvP and ZvT) and Symbol has mostly been smashing everybody in the face (and if he hadn't got cocky he probably would have won the GSL). I wouldn't necessarily say it's Zerg favoured (although it has been until very recently) or that it's as easy as ZvT has become, but I'd much rather play Zerg than Protoss in that matchup. Protoss has been figuring out some great stuff recently so that people copying Stephano don't just win automatically, but IMO Zerg's just haven't figured out they can be maxed at 14 minutes with broodlords & infestors if Toss takes a fast third.

Normal 2-base Toss timings are just a matter of controlling correctly, IMO, although I find the immortal-sentry all-in pretty tough to beat if it's not scouted (if you scout it it's much easier to get your units positioned fairly early to allow for a 3-way surround with ling-roach). 3-base play is just a matter of refining what is basically a Broodlord Rush.

I like JonnyRecco a lot more after that interview. I really like players that take full advantage of the TSL format to study against their opponent. That was a huge win.

Keen seems like a total douche, but maybe it's just the translation. I hope he wins though.

Keen talking straightforward like a BOSS.

Go Kas!
I laughed when Life said if you play standard ZvP you'll lose so you have to use tactics like 6 pool. Rofl. Zerg is the unstoppable race atm in my eyes

The Koreans really are naive :p. Hopefully Kas will punish Life and I think VortiX has a chance vs Keen too.

"Yes, these days if you play a standard game, Protoss is too imba so I can't beat them. So I use those kind of tactics frequently."
well stephano thinks otherwise xD


I agree, not to mention mr JonnyRecco taking down Naniwa. Zerg has figured out those 2 base timings so protoss= RIP.

That is generally the case.

It is odd that he has never been terrible against Protoss though. His overall ZvP record is pretty decent.

I love Keen's honesty about foreigners. Frankly I wish the scene consolidated a bit more so there aren't always a dozen bottom-feeder tournaments going on, but I guess that's like a minor league system?

Nice interviews all around. I hope JRecco continues playing well and the same for Kas. Keen is a bit too arrogant for me. On the one hand he says he has been playing badly and hopes to win more, on the other hand he completely looks down on foreign opponents + Show Spoiler [FXOpen invitational] +
and then loses to BabyKnight and Lowely in the FXOI
. If you're really serious about winning, you have to take every broadcasted match seriously.

I also found that quite ironic.
Another recent example would be NesTea, who stated stated that he lost against Snow because he expected him to play at a lower skill level. A lax attitude is easily punished.

Do you have any unique hobbies or talents? VortiX for instance told us he can solve a Rubik's Cube in 30 seconds.


Hmm, there will be something but my minds just drawn a blank lol. maybe from beating NaNiwa.

I can do it in 16 seconds :D

Become progamer then!

I really liked these interviews with koreans, they were enlightening. I think koreans are very honest about their lack of knowledge of the foreign scene and how they felt during the games, and they are more free with giving their opinions because I' not sure if saying foreigners suck is really an insult from a korean perspective. Very good interviews.

I wish someone would go thorzain mode and go mass thor vs toss and absolutely destroy them just for nostalgia.
