WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE NOT WATCHING JINRO/SELECT THESE GAMES ARE AMAZING
These matches were so fucking exciting but I feel like Jinro beat himself. He had worker production issues in the first and third games and just gave away at least a dozen vikings/banshees. He threw up a CC at both golds in G3 but didn't start mining at the first for at least 4 minutes after that and never started mining at the other one. He also never took his natural even though he had complete map control for the entire mid game.
Sometimes it sucks to hear people (Ret on SotG for example) talking about how SC2 is too easy, but clearly we have a long and exciting ways to go.
Some people have been asking: "Does anyone even play this game anymore? All you do is complain and watch other people play." Well, I do all of those things. I played against peacekeeper and was put down like a sick, sick dog that had terrible, terrible damage to its fragile, fragile psyche. The spirit of Dhal has compelled me to put up the replay, in all of its gruesome glory.
Just messed around on Test Map 3 to see what the lay-out is like. This map is so Terran-favoured it's incredible. The thirds have a convenient high-ground for tanks, either attacking or defending. Also, because it's a rotational map, you either have an easily defended third, or a completely unusable third.
Whoever designed that crap has never paid attention to Starcraft 2. At all.
Jinro always seems to choke after major tournaments
Idra playing MVP right now on his stream (pretty sure it's MVP), seems quite even right now!
EDIT: He managed to win! Was his last game though, so he's done for now.

That game on Idra's stream against MVP was out of fucking control. Both players showing why they're code S omg. Thank god for Shakuras giving us these epic macro games.
Seriously, wow! Idra showing good infestor play as well:
Yeah that was fucking boss. Fungal doesn't just hold shit in place, yo.

Here's the link. Starts at 47:00. Holy shit that was a boss game. VERY highly recommended, even more so than SeleCT clawing his way back from certain defeat.
I think mvp could have won that with the marine/marauder push early on, Idra didn't have enough. Also, I'm surprised he didn't attack through the backdoor, he's probably trying strats out on ladder. Still mvp came ridiculously close to winning that even though Idra had such a large advantage.

I kind of liked not having the other player's point of view like this. Not knowing how many bases and units MVP had and where they were made it so much more suspenseful.

this is the first time i've watched the korean version of the game being played...and i think its hilarious that the computer voice is as polite as can be (i speak korean)

The music before that game starts cracks me up "I'm going to kill everyone in the world." or is it want to? Kinda hard to make out.

good night on ladder tonight to make up for last night. 3-0. beat a zerg on scrap and then on xel naga (not the same zerg just happy win on those maps)
dude on xel naga went heavy ultras which was great since I went mech but I stayed even on bases and 3/3 marines + 3/3 tanks won it for me.

MVP just let him macro for a good 12 minutes, nothing happened. Bio push halfway across the map and THEN idra throws down a baneling nest. He had shit. Where did MVP go? Tab out to watch porn?

I can't believe more zergs don't use infestors more often. fungal is so freaking good

Because gigantic, slow, short range, waddling targets are hard to use effectively.

Also the fact that they die instantly at the sight of anything not an overlord.
Yes, they're sexy as hell, but the close range gets them snipped.
(I personally need to work on not using right click to cancel a casting command when I realize I have no mp, because the bastards walk into their deaths instead. Damn you BW mechanics!)
I love how a Protoss can fucking place 2 geysers on my base, and 2 pylons on my natural and still win.
And even though I feel very comfortable against Terran now, I still believe they have stuff they can do just fine without. Like the Planetary Fortress. I wipe out an entire Terran army, but I can't get near his base because he just fills it up with turrets and a PF. So I have tech up to something against that and just let him make his army all over again.
i think im going to start double gas stealing hatch first zergs
i mean, theres no way they can get speedlings very fast with hatch first anyway. if they have to make the lings first before they can even mine gas they wont have speedlings for ages which means sentry/zealot will absolutely stomp them

Ya'll non-zerg need to stop getting fancy ideas. =\
But yes, stealing gas is friggin' annoying.
Specially terran who can just half start extractors and cancel them right before they die.
Infestors are great, but I did once kill around 6 of them with 4 Collossi just because the guy wasn't fast enough on the mind-control. They pop like balloons!

if anything Terran is the easiest race to counter gas stealing, you just put a drone to a-move the SCV and it will die with no scvs around it to protect it.
Protoss can just warp it in and run away and cancel it if they want
Zerg is the worst race to have gas steal you because they just constantly cancel and remake it. And they lose less minerals when cancelling it because extractors cost 25 minerals

Wouldn't they just get the geysers at their natural?

Someone with good macro can start the extractor and then almost immediately tells the scv to stop, so he can keep running around and already have taken the gas, and do the same on the other gas. After taking both, he keeps building them to raise the hp but stops right before finishing them. The drone won't get enough hits to kill it.
A good zerg will take the other gas the moment he sees the first one taken though. It's still hella annoying.

you should be able to defend in front of them though unlike JB
Awesome, thanks!
I am having problems with my wall post not showing on the contest page though.
Select seems pretty amazing, great match.

SeleCT's game 3 was awe-inspiring, more please.
