Not surprisingly, Killer wanted to turtle up and go to brood lords, while HuK tried to hit with speedlots and archons to disrupt this timing. However he didn't come close to threatening Killer, and died to the floating cloud of death. I'm amazed that Huk of all people is taking a third, let alone a fourth. Any Protoss that goes to 3 base is just asking to lose.
3 base timings are the only way to kill a competent Zerg, Immortal/Sentry is being figured out at this point.

I think we have known for a while now that when foreigners play their A game, they have a good shot at beating Koreans. However, outside of a couple players like Stephano and Nerchio, they just haven't been able to do it consistently. Foreigners playing their A games? From the upsets i have seen, it was more like Koreans botching their games more than foreigners winning. Rain got out micro'd pretty hard in that second game. First game was him botching it but the second he just got out micro'd. Rain never got out-microed. He overextended after he pushed back Babyknight initial push. Ended losing one immortal. Cost him the game. Either way he got out micro'd or made a stupid choice which lost him the game... he lost either way. Your point being? babyknight played better?
As much as I believe that Koreans are still generally better than foreigners (minus the aforementioned outliers), BabyKnight won over Rain. Whatever happened, that means that BabyKnight played better than Rain.
If anything, this should be a wake-up call for Koreans that they need to research their opponents better as their raw skill is no longer at a level that makes not knowing their opponents irrelevant. Still, foreigners are doing better but I don't believe that these players are the absolute best Korean players around (minus Rain). Send in Life, Leenock, Mvp and in-form players like Ryung, Flash and such. If the podium is multi-national then I'll concede.
Heck, even right now, apart from Scarlett, Nerchio and Stephano, I bet most of the top spots will be filled with Koreans. In order for it to stay that way, though, Koreans need to stop being so arrogant and actually study foreign opposition.
