wooow, KT beat Jin Air 4-2, and now Acer has won the first match of the ATC finals vs Team Liquid, a 5-4 score with TL starting with a 1-0.
MMA got four kills, finally his slump is over?
Edit: How both First and YoDa won IEM Toronto Europe qualifier spots with such a stacked lineup? The last I remember watching from both of them were bad play, I don't understand anything anymore...

I didn't see all the games, but the games I saw were nothing special imho.
First had 2 Colossus out against Sacrsri (baaad scouting) before he scouted them, and had to fight the Colossus lead army with pure Roach Hydra. Not even close. Second game Immortal-sentry-mass zealot just crushed Sacrsci.
Yoda vs Hyun games were pretty weird and not of highest of caliber either. The practice together so you can guess the games were unorthodox and pretty meh. It doesn't give the feeling of a tournament, more like watching ladder games lol.
So do you think SKT can take it? They had so much trouble against CJ already and KT has a history of wrecking them :S Also the new Terran buffs don't affect SKT at all, just Protoss and Zergs (who have failed miserably lately) I should have faith more, I KNOW!

Yes, I still have hope on them. And please, don't understimate CJ, they had a great coach and quite a good lineup. The patch, I forgot...that'll make things more complicated, yes
BTW, teams are already preparing for next Proleague season:
- MVP rebuilding (looks like they are wiping out the whole team and signing a full new squad & coach lulz). DRG is officially out of MVP
- Samsung Galaxy Dear
- CJ Entus Byul ____________
I really like CJ but they are a few tricks pony. It can be said that HerO really carries the team, I can not see it reach this far without him. Effort, Hydra and Bboyng are great, but imho are a step below the likes of PartinG, Soulkey, Rain. And no it is not SKT fanboyism
In SC2 all the top players are so evenly matched though that "upsets" happen very often.

But they have great preparation. Look at effort, he had an awful record yet he managed to beat Maru (twice!), Flash, TY and Soulkey recently on Proleague.
Edit: MarineKing leaves Prime...that means all three ex-eSF (now KeSPA) teams have lost their most famous players: Nestea & Mvp from IM, DRG from MVP, MarineKing from Prime.
EffOrt just crushed GSL champion Classic 2-0 with amazing play, wow.

See Minion? EffOrt can be really great with preparation
And it's the perfect example of why GSL is the hardest tournament in the world. It doesn't matter if you are the current champion, anyone on Code S can take you down.
That's why soO 3 consecutive finals is such an impressive achievement.

Indeed, should have made Vipers(?) before attacking. There is no other way to break such narrow attack points in Deadwing I think, it is impossible if the defender is skilled.
