Even on Saturdays ! :D Poor Khaldor, well at least he's busy ^^ Zenex will take it, but this is a random prediction.
|
|
Prime, easily.
Can byun play? There's been a lot of talk about him since he holds like 2 top spots in GM.

Nani co casting is honestly the best time i've ever had on a stream. Im not a big event watcher, just religiously the ESV korean weekly and more recently, the KSL. Naniwa has had a good attitude lately, and I think it's important that Nani knows some people do notice his effort. Been a fan of his outspokeness and cohananas ever since he lost one of the finals and told blizzard to buff protoss in front of like 50k viewers.
It's obvious you put in a lot of effort and genuinely care about providing a quality stream. It really shows!
more naniwa though you guys seem to have fun
|
Yeah Prime should take this really easily. ZeNEX have almost no-one left. =(
Hoping for a good series though. =)

Sorry Khaldor! I didn't mean it like that! Just was curious thats all
Still love you Khaldor <3
P.S, that was the first shoutout I've ever got.. feel kinda special... haha <3
|
Gogo AnnYung! He is one of my fave Zergs and someone I think can do really well in the future! Hope he can take this with his big lead.

No lags on Korean stream. Khaldor is(and was every time i tried to watch KSL on his stream) unwatchable even on 360p.
|
Getting terrible lag on Khaldor for the first time after watching pretty much every day. Can still hear his cast though and I do suppose that is pretty much all I need.
|
Hmmmm... stream is laggy for me.
|
Stream is really stuttering. Anyone else experiencing this?
Edit: Korean stream is perfect though

Those bane drops just work so much better with fungals.

MarineKingPrime..... Seriously... LOL

looks like they managed to scrape marineking off his desk after the wcg xD
He's been playing very well in the KSL, Zenex will have their hands full now but if they can take him down fast this could get really interesting :O
|
Proxy Barracks on Dual Sight, but Extreme scouts it. Looks like it will be a quick one.
|
I dont think there's anyone capable right now of taking him out on ZeNEX... Correct me if im mistaken...
|
marine king i was hoping to see you in a macro game ;; now it is pretty much over, lets go for the comeback MKP!
|
Yeah this is over, MKP early proxy failed. Barr a major fuck up from Extreme, he has this in the bag.
|

Sigh never mind. Extreme didn't use his Chrono boost and did not take out that reactor in the former proxy. MKP so lucky with all-ins.

|
United Kingdom38056 Posts
That really was truly attrocious from Extreme.
never ever should have lost to that all in lol
|
oh my gawd what just happened... Extreme just got wayyyyy too overconfident. He forgot that he is playing against MKP! Woahhh that is so crazy.
|
marineking pulling that game out of the depths of hell

insane game outcome, after the failed prox attempt by mkp, I thought it was over.

That was insane by marineking, played it really well :D

Scouting common proxy locations isn't luck lol, especially against someone who likes to mix in a lot of cheese.
|
Extreme pulled out this win, not MKP rofl
|
|
I'm seriously considering MKP is reverse Tim Tebow. So good in the early game, you can't really hate the guy, makes girls squeal, and mediocre in the late game.
|
|
everyone tries to baneling bust MKP. it always fails.
|
questionable decision to attack there by MKP
|
DeParture's macro is really suffering. Being supply blocked for 45 secs at 84/84 and while having a third base. His mineral count was very high at the 1000.
|
|
Either Life, Mujuk, Line, orrrr Kyrix? lolol
|
GG WP, but so far MKP has beaten two opponents who frankly beat themselves. departure killed almost 20 workers, and that supply block and bad macro just destroyed departure. I wonder who they will send out next against MKP.
|
Zenex's best bet to take out MKP is a Terran. Don't see any of their Z's or P's doing it.
|
all kill incoming !
I think the KSL is really great. Its nice to see the korean pros outside of the big events in just plain online leagues.
|
Zenex line up is looking really weak here. Who can they bring out that can possibly take out MKP?
|
YangSong?
EDIT: ZeNEX Mushroom

Fantastic question, I really just don't think they have anyone near his caliber. Posisbly Mujuk, and possibly Kyrix, but even those two big players, I just think they are going to have trouble beating MKP.
|

I think YangSongE is also know as Mushroom, but I may well be mistaken =)
Don't know who Nex can send out to beat Marineking, Life maybe but he's so up and down.
|

Life and Line are their best players I guess, although It's also MarineKing's best matchup
Life in particular is very good.

(how could I X.X) But yeah I think they should be playing mujuk line life kyrix and extreme for their lineup. Guess they want to give everybody a shot.

this kind of 2 rax is really popular in Korea right now. 2nd rax before orbital and push out with 1 marauder and some marines. seems to be good, saw it on Bomber's stream.
Edit: but bomber didn't get a reactor and pushed even earlier.

This is the normal reactor first 2rax? He just proxied one.

yeah, didn't notice oc timing. slighlty faster on the second rax then.
there's a lot of different variations on it that are pretty popular, most T seem to mix up their 2rax choice when they do it to keep people on their toes and not just ready for the normal version.
|
MKP just completely outclassing these players. YangSong making some mistakes, and MKP showing off good micro, and once again MKP is destroying due to ZeNex players' mistakes.

wish he made for more entertaining games =( Ehhh its not really an all in TBH just an agressive 2 rax. If you want to do good damage with the 2 rax you usually need to get the 2nd rax before the orbital. Good BO from MKP but if you are good enough it is fairly beatable.
|
MarineKing doesn't like hanging around in these online tourneys. I remember in one FXO Koth he killed 5 guys in about 20 mins combined, and has been rushing nearly every game in the KSL as well

He cut workers and went up to 4rax after the first push rather than expo like normal.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, it was obviously a good decision given he won the game with it, just a bit boring ^^
Hope Life actually plays well today TT

So then Hydras are now a good unit vs terran?

MKP is very predictable when he goes 1 rax FE in TvZ. its basically a TvP build against Zerg lol

maybe life knew he would win so he decided to produce som hydras in order to taunt mkp. xD

Isn't Life the one who knocked out Puma on the gsl qualifier? He has good ZvT.

Gonna be a great ZvZ hopefully ^^ BbongBong is really really good, and the same goes to life. IIRC life is pretty weak v zerg, but that might have changed. Lets gogoogoggoogogogo good games!

Hmm he hasnt been in a competition since Super Tournament, and I havent really seen him in the Korean Weekly's...

He did really well in the recent MCSL, he still does crazy all ins a lot but his macro game has been pretty sharp too.
|
that was a really poor pressure by JJUN, but his micro made up for a little bit of that bad strategy. Shaping out to be a decent game
|
ummm bboongbboong why did you attack at that angle with only 4 banes...
|
|
and hten another bad push by jjun. This game has just been a lot of bad pushes pretty disappointing.

Jjun overcommitted so much, Zenex managing to lose themselves so many games with mistakes today

Maybe goes to the team to send players to events in the future? Maybe goes to upgrading some things around the house. Might be an even split to the winning players.
