No, completely wrong. Not to disrespect Shockk, but HongUn's bad decisions ended in him loosing somewhere around ~8 DT's. Moon made one mistake and lost his main because of it. The difference between the mistakes of one of them and the other was quite large. That being said none of them deserves to go above the Ro32...and I'm saying this only because the game is young. | ||

You're correct, it's like saying.. "Yeah", or "Mhm". Though it's often without the Y sound. | ||

I don't really have a massive problem with a little cheesy play if it's done strongly with some finesse. I was a huge HongUn fan around Season 1, he was really impressive, trying new things and his mechanics felt more solid. For some reason, he's starting to look much worse in comparison to everyone else, maybe everyone is just progressing so fast I dunno. | ||

I like watching HongUn play more than most protoss pros in GSL. | ||

To be fair the only 1 of those maps actually Z favored may be Blistering. The other 2 aren't really Z or P favored. You can't say "Big map favors Z because they can macro" because any of the races can macro. T and P just have and easier time on short maps to do early attacks and cripple Z. | ||

Although moon didn't play well either. Wait...HongUn goes FE almost every game into a more stable midgame, nothing wrong with that. Sometimes he cheeses, sometimes... | ||

Am I underestimating his Korean skills? Am I expecting too much from a foreigner? | ||

I understand that you're a zerg player and maybe a little biased but saying that Shakuras and Scrap aren't zerg-favored is simply ridiculous. | ||

Well, Shakuras was Top positions and Scrap has those insanely powerful Air builds. He probably should have gone that on Scrap, but that rush was really good. Moon just pulled a Tester and held it off. Blistering, at least in GSL, has tended to be: Zerg beats Protoss; Protoss beats Terran; Terran beats Zerg. So probably should have just 4 gated, but he did win. | ||

Really depends on the matchup and what point in the matchup imo, I feel like that Terran push through the rocks on close positions on Shakuras is brutally hard to stop and late game Scrap I feel like T and P may have an advantage, just me tho. | ||

Have you seen any interviews with IdrA, Morrow and many other players they will tell you scrap isnt zerg favoured anymore since the change in metagame with less rushes. Scrap is a very difficult to get a 3rd base on unless something like the 2nd game happens | ||
