Doesn't really have anything to do with the group selection, even when you had MKP vs MVP, it was still one sided. There's plenty of players that are good enough to win the GSL and it's just unfortunate that the finals haven't been great so far.PhoenixDark said:

The picking system isn't bad at all, if it was done by rank there would still be groups of death when new guys Puma/MMA/DRG finally make it through or somone has a slump, and the top 8 from the previous season can't be matched against each other as they are the ones who get the first picks.

I guess it depends on what do you want to see but for me 16 sounds kinda late. I doubt that you can even enter his base with that scout.
For me I usually send the one that comes after my 9/10 overlord and I just rally him to Terrans base. In example on xelnaga you get to his base excactly when you are about to putt your hatch first so you still have options.
Usually I hatch first no matter what I see so my goal with the scout is just see if he has taken his gas or is it 11/11.
If he has gas it's pretty much guaranteed fast hellions. In most cases it's either gas hellions or just 2 rax. Even if I don't see the 2nd rax I usually prepare for it if I don't see the gas.
Terrans are kinda predictable early game.
well it's hard to judge people this low of league too lol. I saw quick gas(he didn't wall off so yeah) and he got like 6 vikings...
but i'll keep that in mind too. thanks. scouting is my weak point. I have no idea what means what. outside of remembering things from just watching SC that is. Also I feel that i'm not aggressive enough too, probably as a result of the scouting. Last game I took map control pretty quick to help. I think i need to do what day9 said once. Just mass some units and attack and see what happens. if it doesn't work, adjust for next game and so on.
I try to delay my opponents expand as much as I can too.

Group selections has nothing to do with one sided finals, but you keep telling yourself that anyway.PhoenixDark said:

Yeah, i did it with my OL. it was on xel naga so didn't take long. I always have a ling or 2 peak at the ramp too.
I use to do 10 scout but found all I saw was the standard wall off so that never helped much.
I apperciate everyone's feedback. going for gold next season!

I wish I found ZvT early game scouting easy. I struggle with that more than anything.
This TL post is pretty useful, I guess. Plenty of timings to memorise and learn. Fun!!!

The problem I found is that Terran players can do all sorts of dumb one base all ins that, if they catch you off guard, can finish you off.
For example, you run a ling up and see a ton of marines at the top of a ramp, you sacrifice an Overlord and see two factory, one with reactor, one with tech lab. What would you think it is? Blue flame expand, probably.
But then it turns out to be a marine/tank/hellion/scv all-in.
It's fucking annoying.

Tried it myself and it worked. All audio in MP and SP is now in Korean. The SP cutscenes have also been changed to show korean text, etc instead of english.Yoshichan said:
The actual menus and interface itself though is still english, and it still connects to the usual SEA server without problems.

well exactly.
good thing zerg has really good scouting optio.... oh wait.
If you change localeiddata=____ in the variables file then it will change the text interface, but it will also try to connect you to that regions servers instead of your own.Yoshichan said:

MKP constantly gets exposed as a one-dimensional player, so that's not a good example. If there was a 1-16 or 1-32 ranking system, things would be better. Also, cut the downtime between semis and finals.
Do you really think a ranking system is going to be better for producing better finals?PhoenixDark said:
Every time a new player gets into Code S they'd be pit up against the top ranked players. You really want to see DongRaeGu vs Nestea or MMA vs MVP in ro32?
