Can't believe no one posted that yet. Crazy match, crazy micro, crazy macro, crazy strats, Zerg is imba, terran is weak (jk jk jk). Korean starcraft is awesome.

All hail the Fruit.

Seriously, nobody plays Zerg like Fruit Dealer does, and if they did, we'd see all Zerg in the top 3. His drop micro is insane.

These videos are unwatchable. The fragmentation and frame lag along with the off sync audio only tops off the complete lack of entire sections due to Blizzard's shoddy overpriced stream.

For sure! I wish he was in the tournament honestly. I'm pretty sure he could beat loner easily.

Indeed... I was trying to watch this live but I couldn't... Whenever there was a big battle, stream broke for me, pathetic...

Edit: Also, the games were just pure awesomeness!!! Too bad stream was THAT BAD.

I haven't seen much MM attacks at 7:30 anymore. Why?

Thanks for that.

Man they were some really fun to watch matches. Even though Boxer lost he played so well and he's showing great potential for SC2 so early on. Fruitdealer on the other hand, he is truly a master of Zerg and plays so unlike any other Zerg I've seen. He definitely deserved his GSL S1 title and no doubt one of the very best players in the world.

I'm looking forward to following both these players for the rest of GSL S2.

those were indeed some gg's

i think this is part of a clear turn in TvZ metagame; more banshees mixed in rather than pure ground, which is perhaps best met by sparse sporecrawler placment and hydras (not forgoing the ling roach foundation)

[LordShotGun]

I think that just 1-2 vikings going overlord hunting throughout the game would have discouraged the baneling drops greatly in both games.
