    I thought it was something like that, he just never mentioned it.

    Oh man, that was so close. Loner seems to be choking so hard, not attacking with marines, not dropping when army was out of position and losing medivac.

    Holy shit, Loner's first drop in, what, an hour?

    And of course it fails.
    Yeah that did not go well for him.

    Loner really seems to spend alot of his OC energy on scans compared to most terrans.

    I'm getting more and more convinced that sentries are the best units ever.

    Just seeing every battle between these two players, had forcefield not existed the results would all be extremely different.

    I was planning on whinging about lolossi and the necessity of going robo, but I think these finals have done it for me.

    I will note that NEXGenius is much better at handling mass marauders than I am.

    Amazing forcefields, seriously. He kept denying good positioning for Loner every battle.

    Reminds me how bad I am!

    I guess we don't have to worry about Loner getting far in GSL. Choked so badly. Attacking when he shouldn't have, attacking when he should have, not harassing with drops.

    That game was a good example of why building only marauders and vikings is a bad idea.

    Just the way I like it.

    Also, love the awkward language-barrier (language forcefield?) victory interview.

    Yeah NEXGenius is a great player but toss really doesn't have any flexibility in their unit comp in a tvt really.
    This is the greatest interview ever.

    I'm not sure about that, phoenixes seem to be the answer to extreme medivac or banshee play, but not sure.

    Currently 2 gate robo is certainly the safest build, but Loner kept doing similar things, which meant Nex just kept doing what let him win :P.

    I don't think we can take what the translator says as fact.

    I also had to turn it off because it's even more painful to watch than the usual interview.

    It's probably not what he said, but it's probably the easiest way for a clearly timid translator to translate it.

    But Loner did not take advantage of his mobility.

    Some good games showed and all the reps are available to watch so gonna look at a few of them.

    I don't think Blizzard could have done a worse job at hyping it up and streaming it though, it was very underwhelming.

    Go SEA reps too, I think they won 1 match between them :P

    Granted that my primary exposure was the commencement ceremony and the RTS stage, so maybe I'm completely off base here, but Blizzcon seemed super awkward and soulless.
