I hope this means Creator is getting back into form.

Also I just watched JJakji get pwned by Violet, it was painful as a Terran player.

Didn't help that it felt like a Platinum Terran vs Master Zerg. >.>^

Yeah, JJ is just not the same... his micro and multitasking definitely looked a tier below in that match. I was rooting for viOLet anyway though. :p

So MarineKing 2-0's MMA and DRG 2-0's KeeN, both advancing into Ro16. Nice to see those two making a push. :D

Edit: Actually, I'm getting mixed signals. The official bracket has MMA advancing but Liquipedia shows MarineKing. lol

Yeah I don't even see MKP on the main bracket! Creator just did the most awesome hold vs Jaedong. This has been a good PvZ.

Yeah, it looks like MarineKing is named "SinabroPrime" on ESL's bracket. lol

YoDa knocked out by SuperNova... ;_;

Awesome comeback by Creator! JD's weak ZvP is showing.

Creator 2-0's JD!! His next opponent is the winner of San vs StarTale Zero.

MKP T_T WHY WHY WHY!

You disappoint me so much! You had game 1. But you had to push too hard and lose your Marines!

Then this game 2 you didn't push when you actually had the advantage.....

Creator please save the Prime team!

Why no tanks MKP? So lazy.

Terran players assume that Widow Mines can completely replace Siege Tanks versus Zerg nowadays.

Problem is all of his Widow Mine hits either sucked or were non-existent. Great play from BBoongBBoong to target them down before they can get shots off.

Just realized that MKP was the last Terran left in this Open Cup. And Reality was the only Terran to qualify from the KeSPA Cup. lmfao

Edit: HyuN vs BBoongBBoong up next!

Wait seriously! Supernova lost vs Hyun?

Lots of Terrans in the Stage 2 of the tournament, only 1 Protoss, 5 Terrans and 6 Zergs lol. All world class ones.

Yey tourney is over! Thanks to everyone who participated. Hope you all had a good time. =) Sorry the live show for the finals didn't work out.

Update on my game: I've hit the downswing again after my latest win streak. It's really hard to get out of gold. I feel like once MMR gets boost up where I'm facing top golds everyone is just super aggro. One base terrans / 2 base gate first protoss / mass non stop lings or like 6 minute mutas. Ugh it's rough.

IEM Shanghai Korea / Taiwan Stage 2 Qualifier

Anybody watching? Believe it or not, this is a Round of 16 qualifier for the IEM Shanghai tournament that'll happen at the end of the month.

Pretty mind blowing. lol

What sucks is even bigger names were already eliminated in the KeSPA Cup and the Open Cup that happened earlier. :(

First match will be Mvp vs DRG... :O

So, I take back everything I've said/thought about Reality, MyuNgSiK and San. They are playing out of their minds.

MyuNgSiK just 2-1'd HyuN.

Streams

DRG is gone. 2-1'd by Solar.

Innovation last terran in the winners bracket. He really seems to be struggling with the hellbat nerf.
Click to expand...

Not winning every game in the first 10-15 minutes isn't the same thing as "struggling" to me.

He still looks pretty much unstoppable. But at least now his opponents can stay alive into the mid-late game.

Streams

MyuNgSiK just took Game 1 against INnoVation with some absolute incrediblely play and patience. When did this guy get so good?

INno played like his usual fantastic self, but MyuNgSiK just bled him out. Denying expansions, 2-3 Stalkers behind mineral lines, Zealots under CCs, all while engaging with his army vs INno's army beautifully in the middle of the map. Man, if there's a VOD of that, you guys gotta get on it!

Sorry, I figured afterwards. All my detectors kinda shut off after midnight. lol

Streams

MyuNgSiK almost pulled off a double proxy 10 gate vs INnoVation to beat him 2-1 and qualify for IEM Shanghai..... and he built his Pylon one hex off that would've stopped INno from walling himself in. v_v

San showing some really cool play today. Really good micro and usage of the warp prism, would like to see more players use this style.

Edit: Dat phoenix play. They sure are entertaining to watch.

Was going to wake up in time for this but ended up sleeping past it. :(

Evo kept me up too late.

Anyways good games, hope IEM can deal with the reduced amount of Korean Terrans lol.
