Unfortunately SC2 better rewards the guy who has the best preperation for a certain strategy rather than creative and experimenting people, atleast thats how it feels like for me. If you put it like that, its only a matter of time before Moon has exhausted all possible experimentation over the course of a couple of thousand of games (after he fully retires off Warcraft III) and hten he'll be owning everyone.
It's funny. People have been saying this stuff even before Beta and still he lacks results. Now they're saying he doesn't play SC2 much although he ended up not playing some overly huge WC3 Chinese tournament/league but is in GSL. Don't get me wrong, Moon isn't bad, but WC3 fanboys...

As much as I admire the guy for the things he's achieved in War3, he just looks bad in SC2. His decision making has been very very poor. God I hate spewing negativity like this but I just can't help it watching moon today. Tbh, Moon has been overhyped; also, recently I saw Grubby get crushed by a random zerg-player while using a very strange BO and rather mediocre overall gameplay. They will be on top again if they continue practicing, but you just can't expect them to play wc3 professionally at the same time and be able to compete with full time sc2 pro-gamers. Not gonna happen. We as a community shouldn't expect so much from them, they will deliver soon, I've got no doubts about it. If you're going to say such things, please at least know what you're talking about. Grubby doesn't even play Terran.

Were there any mentionable moments or just straight up games? HongUn's play in the first game was pretty solid. Micro was somewhat questionable but it was a very well executed build-order and transition. The other games were a bit more questionable and tended to be decided by mistakes rather than great play.

Two mentionable moments:
- G3 of the first match-up - HongUn goes for DT rush, Moon gets a blind spore crawler at his natural. But then sends his zerglings to destroy the destructable rocks at the gold. HongUn's DT walks through the natural (while being detected), straight up to the main as there's no units to kill it. Goes in and destroys main.
- G1 of the second match-up - Anypro goes for 4-gate, Moon holds off reasonably well. Accidentally unborrows his spine crawler and can no longer hold the push.
- G2 of the second match-up - Anypro does a Nexus first on Metalopolis cross positions. Moon does the WORST baneling bust of all time.

I have this sneaking suspicion that cezanne could very well be one of those players reaching far into Code S but being a coach sorts of holds him back and just makes him develop at a slower pace than others.

You experiment during practice, the amount of practice these guys do, they should know every single fucking build by now. There really should be nothing they havent seen other than some slight variations. There is no excuse for the decisions he makes.
Youre hating on him pretty hard huh. I agree, no excuse for his poor decisions and his poor decisions cost him a chance at Code S.
But here is the bottom line, hes new to SC2 and at times he looked like a code S player. its obvious that his game sense and in game decision making is sometimes poor, but guess what, that kind of thing improves over time.
If you take a look at Code S, most of the players have been playing SC2 since the beta, most were SC1 pros, there are a few WC3 pros but they have, for the most part, played since the beta.
For Moon, to get as close as he did, I think its quite impressive.

With the current metagame & balance, I don't think you'll see it on these maps. 3/4 gate rushes are just so powerful. Or getting up a death ball. There just doesn't seem to be much of a mid-game for Protoss at the moment.
But, with new maps, anything could happen.

Moon threw away a couple of games in amusing/depressing fashion, repositioning spinecrawlers at the worst possible time and running his lings away from a spore right when dts showed up. HongUn had a cool voidray/blink allin going up to the high ground near the natural on Scrap, but Moon had an excellent defense and won. Moon vs Anypro game 2 was a hilariously terrible attempt at a baneling bust into losing to 2 base 4gate+voidrays.

Bigger maps will only encourage warpgate play, however.

3) i just wanted the summary so i appreciate your reply
Thanks ! Hehe
