That series was such classic White. Game 4 was actually a lot more "worrying" than game 3 for them, looking at their semi-final chances - they won't allow their cockiness to get the better of them if they're 2-0 up against SSB or NJWS, but they will still be vulnerable to smart rotations. If TSM had been just a little bit slicker with their guerilla tactics (on one occasion, I think they could have gone up two inhibs before SSB collapsed if they prepared to sacrifice Turtle, and obviously Amazing ballsed up the last-gasp manoeuver) they may have been able to steal Game 4.
One thing that TSM, C9 and Fnatic have all been able to show is that you can hurt the Korean teams with smart, decisive, aggressive, rotations (a kind of rat LoL, not exactly splitpushing, but simply moving around your opponents). You need the guts to take big risks - they often assume you will back out and make the "high percentage" play rather than moving all-in.
And suddenly it's clear why M5/Gambit, the least risk-averse of all Western teams, have historically been the most successful against them!
