Jinro is looking to be in an uncomfortable position in this game though. If he can take and hold a PF at the gold he might be able to catch up nicely though.
edit - what do you mean it hasn't borne out? and why is it different for sc2 than bw? it's the same type of environmental difference
I mean top Koreans don't outclass westerners when they face off.
Per Squirtle getting laughably stomped by two European zergs and then just barely, barely, barely edging out Goode and Sjow. Per some half dozen or so large European tournaments where the Korean delegates get knocked out fairly early and someone like Naama or Mana or Sjow or MorroW wins it.
SC2's more popular here than there, and that's an inversion of the primary factor that gave Korea the long-term edge in Broodwar.

I made a game! Hotline Maui. Requires mouse and keyboard.
Hongun did a really good job getting his money's worth out of those phoenixes - he managed to avoid the two big pitfalls with that opening, not recouping your investment or getting wiped out by an early rush while you've got a lot of sunk costs and little energy.
Good multitasking and a strong follow-up. Well played, Hongun! Jinro, not so much.

Jinro was a good 5+ seconds ahead of HongUn on worker production before HongUn's first Chrono Boost. Weird.
even on LQ
Oh and kill those damn phoenix.

Jinro was the only player left who could actually stand a chance of beating him.
This.
Fuck Huk.
No MC vs Jinro!
But a Protoss got through!
SO CONFLICTED
i dont know i think July has a good shot, as does potentially NaDa.
also sanZenith has been surprising, if he plays as well as he did in previous games this season...
You already have a Protoss through: MC.
So no conflicting emotions here; Fuck Hongun.
I don't know why but something about them seems more bullshit than any other cheese I can think of.
Then again FruitDealer won the whole thing with a succession of lucky wins so who knows.

e~ new favorite show
looks like its going to be a korean vs korean semi final
RISSEN UND RIPPIT.
TODAY!
We... will... be... the terran!
And how did the first two games look between jinro/hongun? Only saw the third one where Hongun actually played really well.
But then his usual style is brilliant play to get to ro16/8, then going out trying some stupid allins all over the place.
