Apparently TLO is going Zerg, partially because they nerfed terrans openings.

[Kaylia]

Damn nice. TLO zerg is always hilarious to watch. He pulls off awesome combo no one ever try (he does that on terran as well, but to a lesser extent)

[altwight]

zenio vs MVP is suuuuuuuuuuuuuch a nice matchup. i hate terran players and I really want zenio to advance but at the same time MVP is such an awesome terran player I want him to go through also.

Holy epicness. Best 3-game series played in the GSL so far. Both sides played extremely well and both deserved to move on.

fruitdealer vs fake boxer tomorrow haha.

[Iku]

FD lost 2 - 0. My favorite Zerg

[Maguspk]

Did you seriously just spoil that match? What the fuck is wrong with you.

[Thunder]

Eh, a "spoil" could always be a troll. Although...

Stuff like this is expected when the game is changing still. There is no "standard" and I'm sure upsets will be less common when these pros become more unbeatable.

[altwight]

kinda mad i came in this thread. im in the process of watchign game 2 after that proxy barracks. nice job.

[altwight]

yea for future reference, giving away any matches *directly* should be spoilered in my opinion.

[Not Kuno]

spoiler that shit bitches

[Iku]

I watched the match live and i am too upset with that loss. I will put the spoiler next time.

i definitely understand the upset you have.

Spoiler: show

i can't even imagine the amount of time fake boxer put into watching fruitdealer's previous games to learn exactly how to beat him like that.

Wait Wait Wait, the "best player in the game" lost to a guy that stims his marines everytime he sees a Muta and doesn't build medivacs?

It was obviously nerves in that first series he played. The guy is at the top of the Korean Ladder for a reason and had great execution in the matches against Cool. He really showed how to punish a Zerg that goes hatch first without doing an all in build.

Yea, Fake Boxer played really well, His micro was outstanding, using SCVs as the wall to prevent the ling surround. CooL wasn't ready for it. Sometimes fast expand isn't always the best option. Even more so if you're across from your opponent. I rarely fast expand as zerg, I always end up losing
Edit:
Falaras if it was your first time in a big league tournament like GSL, wouldn't you be a bit nervous and do a bunch of pre-empt actions. I probably would, Sitting in a box like that is pretty nerve racking

[GRT]

haha, so FD wins GSL1 to show terran is not OP, and then loses in ro32 in GSL2 to show zerg is not OP

Blizz must loves this guy to death

I can definitly understand nerves in your first LAN but Him vs Apple was quite possibly the worst SC2 games I've ever seen, they both where just so so so so so so so bad. I would actually like to see the Fauxer vs Fruitdealer games just to hear what Tasteless/Artosis say considering how much they shit talked Fauxer before.
