ASUS ROG Tournament ASSEMBLY Winter 2012: Game 1 Stephano vs Real

[for links & etc for this event see ASUS ROG Tournament ASSEMBLY Winter 2012]

A very entertaining game 1 between Stephano and Real, 2 base all in Mothership rush with recall.

Real cleared path from his main to Stephano's main with Phoenix, so that Stephano couldn't see it coming, but Stephano seems to make 1 spore per base pretty standard vs Protoss.

And Real didn't execute the recall in the most ideal location, I think it would have been a lot stronger with 1 or 2 more warp prisms to spread Stephano's army in addition to recall threat.

Perhaps ideally a strong Warp Prism attack on the north side of the map with recall on on side or the other of the main/natural ramp to control both the ramp between and the ramp out of the Natural.

Though the other problem Real had, was he was doing a 2 base play that was slow, by the time the attack landed Stephano was on 4 bases.

Still it was a very entertaining game, the coolist game of 2012 so far IMO.

Khaldor is casting a new weekly Korean Tournament

http://www.own3d.tv/live/130010/KhaldorTV

I believed this just started today, at least the English language stream by Khaldor of it.

From what he has said it will run after GSL twice a week Monday-Thursday.

Every or most of the the Korean Pro Teams will be sending a single player to compete, total of 8 players.

Winner (each day?) gets $100 and 2nd place gets $50 if I understod correctly.

I will update this post or add a new post once the details are a bit clearer (to me).
