Gameplay
Games of Epic Proportions

1. 2007-04-22 eStro vs MBC game 1 - Cool vs Pusan on Tau Cross
Which face will Pusan show: the bold Spirit or the fancy Artist? On this day, Pusan chooses the latter and gives us a gem of a game. A comeback win never hurts either.
TLPD VOD LINK

Look back to his games vs Canata and Firebathero, and it is amusing how some of the most memorable "finesse" games in recent memory have come from Pusan, a player best known for his bullheaded Spirit style.

2. 2007-04-29 Hanbit vs MBC Ace Match -
It's not every day you get to see
something like this

Free vs Sea on Tau Cross
Free puts on a clinic on how to utilize the
templar archives tech line in PvT, as he
takes apart Sea's massive army with
unexpected ease. Simply a great game.

3. 2007-04-23 Hanbit vs STX game 4 -
Boy vs Hwasin on Geometry
Hwasin loses his entire base to a counter attack
from Boy. Left with just a handful of floating
buildings, it's up to his remaining army to
take down the rest of Boy's last standing base.

4. 2007-05-15 eStro vs Hanbit game 2

Up opens with some clever mechanic play,
but GGplay turns on his hive tech godmode.
