Kinda shitty that MarineKingPrime gets through without having to face MC, and MC gets knocked out despite not losing to anyone but Jinro. And now it'll be Jinro vs IdrA.
Yeah, that they put two foreigners up against each other is probably smart in the short term since a lot of people will show up for that one game. But on the other hand, the general interest in non-Korea would probably be higher if there were two foreigners still in the tournament.
weren't the initial groups determined by lottery? thus if any two players collide its through their or other person's wins or just the luck of the draw in the initial stages
i mean, it sucks that foreigners have to collide, but they eventually have to

No, I think they said they do some manipulating to avoid teammates being matched up early on.

carriers arent a bad idea in that scenario but having them scouted sort of changed things
it's a shame jinro and idra have to play each other but it's gonna be a damn good series and it has to happen eventually
Earlier I posted about specifically being unable to join the PA channel. It looks like it's a problem other people are having as well, but fortunately Blizzard are aware of it.
BTW, Homestory cup 2 is being played right now, stream just got fixed. Game one of TLO and Hasu involved
Nukes and PF hopping, as befits a TLO game
What kind of bullshit streaming program are they using?
It crashed chrome, froze up in IE, then I finally get it working after 10+ minutes, and its laggy as hell?
Anyone restreaming it on a player that doesnt absolutely suck?
Edit: guess I didn't even get into the stream, all that played was the same ad looped 3 times in a row. =/
I can read lips. I thought I'd translate the booth conversation for you.
<Jinro enters the booth>
Jinro: 'Hey.'
MC: '...hey.'
Jinro: 'good game, man.'
MC: '...yeah.'
Jinro: '...you do know that carriers are stupid, right?'
MC: '...'
Jinro: 'I mean, really goddamn stu--'
MC: 'Jonathan. Please.'
Jinro: 'Okay. Sorry, man.'
<pats him on the shoulder, leaves booth>
are you serious here?
Or did you just make that up?
Also, why doesn't GomTV upload the VODs of the interviews?

I have the premium, so I dunno. You need octoshape enabled. Apparently there's a VLC link that helps alleviate the shitty flash player they use, you should poke about the TL thread.
And Dhal, he was joking. And they do. It's under GomCam.

I don't really get the hate for 4 gate. I don't think there's anything about it that makes it intrinsically easier than, say, 2 gate robo or many other standard builds? In fact if anything it's more difficult because of the timing required?
i fuckign hate 4 gate, every diamond player i play 4 gates, that fucks up my mmr, that pisses me off

People who claim 4gate is too easy are just being dumb. Its no easier to execute than any other build.
Where their real problem lies, and what they should be complaining about but are too dumb to do so, is that it is disproportionally more difficult to hold off a 4gate using an economic build than it is to execute one, and it is not always possible to scout it in time, sometimes you have to just stick to 4gate-safe builds vs Protoss.
Terran, though, have no excuse for losing to 4gate.
1) you should always be walling against Protoss. I don't care if the pros don't, they are good enough to pull it off and you aren't.
2) Always scan a protoss at the 5:30 mark and throw down bunkers if you dont catch their buildings or if you see 4gates. Remember, you have the only scouting method in the game that is literally impossible to deny. It has its limitations, true, and it can be dodged, but especially against a 4gate, you will easily be able to keep your worker in their base to see the first two pylons go down, and then you should know roughly where to scan. If you scan and see only the 1 gate and the core, you're getting 4gated and the 3 gates are at the side of the base with the 3rd pylon.
I don't think a lot of Terrans appreciate just how insanely good scan is.
Terran can just laugh off a 4gate if they see it coming even only 30 seconds before it hits, because bunkers are ridiculous.
I laugh my ass off at Terran who don't wall, because there is a very low chance of being able to hold a 4gate. Nearly zero.

I have 4 gated, i can 4 gate, the 4 gate build is not rocket science, quite the contary it is stupidly easy and efficient to do.
Protoss who 4 gate every pvp are terrible players and have 0 respect from me whether they want it or not.
