There's nothing wrong with scouting that direction and it isn't slower, you still have to enter each base to scout...

[Maguspk]

OH MY GOD.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO WATCH FRUITDEALER AKA COOL'S GAMES IN THE QUARTER FINALS OF THE GSL AGAINST OGSINCA.

[Correction]

First game was fun, not sure if the other games are worth paying for.

[Maguspk]

He renewed my motivation to play zerg some.

cool 6pools and OMG COOL IS SO COOL!

hyperdub 7rax and he needs to DIAF

lol

6 pool was risky, but not that exciting a game. I was interested in seeing what Inca was going to do, they said he had a pretty cool build that spunky put together for him and we didnt really get to see it. The 6pool was basically a coin flip, had the probe scouted his base first, its an auto lose. As for why people react to it differently? Cool is awesome and the only zerg left. Hyperdub is one of a million terrans and took out the last non-korean in the tournament.

The ling+baneling game was very good though, I can't believe he held off 2 gate with 14hatch 15pool so easily and like zero losses. I guess the map distance helped him a lot, but yeah he handled it so well and had the perfect follow up.

Im watching Fruit Dealer vs NEXLiveForever at Semi-Final.

Man, Fruit Dealer is a beast. He survived the reaper rush, cloaked banshee and then curbstomp the Terran with Ultralish. Man.

Btw, if you watch the Live Stream, it is free.

[GRT]

fuck, overslept

[GRT]

first game of the set is free on VOD, and holy shit cool is cool, he actually may win it all as a fuckin zerg

actually i read the difference as hyperdub unsure he can win a macro game (as shown by TLO's epic comeback) so he takes the easy way out by cheesing, vs cool's cheesing to get his opponent on his backheels

but cheese is cheese is cheese ;p

[Bweigelt]

Cool vs Liveforever games are up on youtube if anyone wants to watch them.

[altwight]

FRUIT! DEALER!

he's gonna come out and deal some fruit you can't refuse to buy.

[GRT]

I want to murder the caster of the games for his incessant punning.

[GRT]

he is COOL as a cucumber, which btw is a FRUIT not a vegetable

I actually hate Artosis slightly less after seeing him cast the GSLs. He has his ROFLMAO moments. Tasteless tries too hard, but I can't bring myself to hate Day[9]'s brother.

[Maguspk]

aFruitDealer is my fucking hero. His skill level is just LEAGUES above his opponent, I am like really confident he has a chance to win, he is managing to win games where he SHOULD be losing just due to straight SKILL, it's amazing.

[altwight]

im glad i've found a zerg player better than idra. i hate idra so much but everyone always says he's the king of zerg. koreans are cooler anyway.

[GRT]

man, this is why SC2 is a great game, true to Blizz's moto: easy to learn, difficult to master

there's nothing bizarre about HopeTorture's build, you just need lots and lots of practices to make it shine like that, fundamental yet beautiful game

[altwight]

Spoiler: show

so it's gonna come down to a z v t in the final? fruit dealer vs hopetorture?
