I love watching pro matches that look like they contain gold league strats
Ah, a fellow sOs fan.


Group B of the Ro16 of GSL season 3 is starting in about 7 hours.


Cure vs DRG

Solar vs Zest


This should be a good watch actually, Cure, Solar, and Zest are all pretty even. DRG had a deep run in season 2.

What's up with GSL taking a week off? Is it because of Chuseok (which I only even know about because I googled the one possibility I could think of, "korean holidays")?

I believe Tastosis said on one of the recent episodes that 'Korean Thanksgiving' was this week, which is aprtly the most important holiday in Korea every year.

while I appreciate you informing me about this tournament, posting the finals itself is actually a spoiler to previous results.

(youtube link to some footage from above mentioned tournament)


2 days, 17 hours until group C. going to be some of the best games yet i'd imagine. end bosses maru and stats and fan favourites parting and byun. should be electrifying.

maru pulling the ultimate long con, delaying the grudge match until neither of them are the best player in the world

Yes that game was crazy even tho..
Spoiler:
at the 70th turet, one might have wondered if it was the right play.Also the last nuke was cool looking but parting was winning this anyway(I suppose)

Great games overall, no really crappy ones.

took me 2 nights to finish the group also lol.. pretty sick games again

Spoiler:
also thought the 100 turrets were overkill cause all they were doing was slowing him down. you could see his whole bank going to them the entire time and fighting 4k+ with nothing didnt seem great. maybe kr has an achievement he was going for

Re: what you both mentioned about the turrets...

Spoiler:
Maru's always kinda seemed to spend resources pretty recklessly in these super lategame situations, and I dunno if it's really the best idea? Like nukes aren't that cheap and in this game against Parting and his lategame TvZ he makes millions of them, and eventually it's like...what are you getting out of this? Was it worth 100/100 to kill a couple creep tumors and one spore crawler?

When mass raven was really OP it worked pretty well for him against Zerg because he could trade super well, but I think this game against Parting showed the downside when you're not trading better than your opponent outside the nukes & turrets.

Like I forget who it was here several years ago who had some theorem - Kirbynator maybe? - that rolling banes into planetaries is actually really inefficient and bad for the Zerg, and it kinda seems like mass nuke might be the Terran version of that.

Watching tonight's group on a slight tape delay. Rogue-Inno g1:

Spoiler:
Wow, I don't know if I've ever seen that good of a player get dismantled so badly in just a straight up game. Rogue made him look like a diamond leaguer who didn't belong in the same match

Dark-Trap g1:

Spoiler:
Great game but it feels like Dark had opportunities to win after wiping the air army and he didn't capitalize well. Making decisions in those situations is always hard, maybe he needed to start gooping buildings immediately? Just felt like the corruptors were flying paperweights for a long time after that big fight and he wasted any chance he had to take advantage of his momentary lead, and let Trap build up an army that basically countered what he had left.

i agree with the nukes, esp when they get what you said, or a cannon and pylon or whatnot. i get its slightly positional, but it seems any time they want the position defended its not that hard to send vision + 3 units to go kill an idle ghost.

should be a good ending to the tourney coming up
