The Kwanro vs. Canada OSL match is a good example of ZvT. Just so many switchups in tech in one trying to throw off the other.

With ZvP you know he's going to mass goosn and zealots. The only real X factor is if he storm drops, reaver drops or DT drops you.

Honestly, I think it's ultimately just that zerg is fun to watch.

Yep, that's the big part of it. Zerg can play in many different ways and yet is always vulnerable to some near hard counters from P or T. They really need to control the game to do well and capitilize off mistakes so very effectively.

A very good Zerg though can make even a good opponent look bad just by forcing him to play reactively from first contact. The tech switches and sheer number of possible and effective zerg builds essentially force the opponent to maintain scouting or start flipping coins. I guess that's why I like Protoss v the top Zerg players though as they can, with some heavy effort at times, maintain the scouting needed to counter.

Hell, they are all potentially good matchups though.

Its weird I really cannot stand the English commentators, maybe its because I can understand the Korean ones I dunno.

That was a very good game there posted however

There are some huge PvP battles in this fight.



Edit: Here is an awesome game of Flash vs. Jaedong. Don't think I saw it posted.

I do love me some Korean commentary at times. Despite the vague Naruto flashbacks (odd I know but the sentence endings sound so similar) I love the "&*^%*^ Pylon (*))_@# Zerot russhu*&^ stuff. It sounds more like japanese than mandarin or cantonese does and I can almost understand some.

Plus the ongoing hide-face-from-camera game amuses and even more with Korean commentery that takes it seriously.

(BTW: Fun games and all for those that might have missed them. I'm not sure I see the 'epicness' of the Bisu/Free match but everyone always tells me it was incredible. It seemed less equal though to me and I've seen it now three times I think. Yeah, yeah, a few less mistakes or changes here and there and it would have been different. Shocking that.)

GomTV games are up for the week.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
In July v Skyhigh, Skyhigh owns July's face off in the first one then sucks it up in the next 2 games. Shuttle v Flash, Flash wins but game 1 is an amazing game.

Yeah that Shuttle Vs. Flash game 1 was the best game I've seen on that map. If Shuttle had just been more careful with his units instead of trying to force his way through every time he woulda won. It was pretty amazing what Flash was able to do that game though.

Flash v. Shuttle 1
I think Shuttle should have won that game. He tried to force it to end sooner by focusing more on Flash's army when Flash's was turtled. If he had focused more on harassing Flash's expansions, maybe with storm drops, he would have outlasted him and came off with the win. Super fun game to watch though. Some really good battles all the way to the end.

That, or I think if he had pushed the front of his base after the first big push that almost got in, he wins too. But I could be wrong about that. Also that recall that caused Flash to push in the middle was bad. If he had used those troops to hold the middle he would have been fine imo

ZerO made Bisu look less skilled then usual. Amazing sniping of the templars with the queens.

His loss knocked out Effort and Flash so some are saying that is why. Personally I think he just looked tired, realized he was fucked and gave up. Considering JD's ZvZ win rate there is zero reason he should lose to YellOw[ArnC] of all people
