It seems they can't get enough of these right now as they held yet another today on the 28th. It was intended to be Ace vs sSJM (who may well be (Z)Max as the similarly named sSKS really is (P)TesteR), a very strong zerg player who managed to maintain a 70% win ratio right up until the last reset (with 275 wins and 117 losses and a 2247 rating). sSJM had to pull out however so Cool stepped in to take his place.

Ace (P) vs Cool (Z) in a best of 7. I think Cool needs no introduction beyond a small update to his ladder stats (pre-reset he had 233 wins, 102 losses and a 2272 rating). Ace is a Chinese protoss player who has made a pretty strong showing in SC2 so far. He dominated the Chinese qualifier for Starswar Reborn and continued to impress during the main event, with his team 3-0 down to the Koreans he went on to take them all out and seal a 4-3 victory. Can he step up again versus today's arguably stronger opponent?

Game 1 - Lost Temple
Game 2 - Desert Oasis
Game 3 - Metalopolis
Game 4 - Kulas Ravine
Game 5 - Steppes of War
Game 6 - Scrap Station
Game 7 - Kulas Ravine

There are some genuinely great moments in the series so it is well worth watching.

Apologies to those who can't watch these by the way, I'm not aware of anywhere else rehosting the vods sadly.

I suffered through the chinese player and it was worth it. The micro on display here seems well above us/eu.

Hey no worries, it just seemed a shame to me that they get next to no coverage as they've been hosting a lot of interesting stuff during the beta so far.

Did you have buffering nonstop through the whole series?

this was probably because asians are trying to find a solution for the problems at hand while the rest of the world whines.

If you move the time forward about a second or so it should resume playing, I'm not sure why they stall like that occasionally.

nah it looks like the game crashed for one of the players or something, you can see the observers continuing but the action is frozen

LOL that game on metalipolis super is doing his version of flash build with protoss! creep away from his base to the other main by building cannons along the way, it was a hilarious game of cannon defense. He managed to held off 5 waves of 200/200 zerg army before he GGs

As cool as a lot of the micro seems, these players just don't play strategically up to par with EU/US players.

In other words, I'm confident they would get smashed in a trans server tourny.

I about fell asleep in most the games.

Korean protoss players seem to not know what a sentry does vs zerg. This protoss has amazing micro, but plays sc2 terribly.

Just watched some of the games Tester (top Korean Protoss) played in the recent Gosu Coaching cup (which he won without dropping a map) and he basically just manhandled some of North America's finest.

Perhaps, when the koreans play, to us, it seems like bad strategy, but they've already figured out why that strategy works and how to deal with our "counters".
