Zenio seems to have been watching some Spanishiwa replays recently.

The matches that I've seen Spanishiwa lose were more do to weaknesses in his own fundamentals for things like multitasking than the tactics themselves. Spanishiwa style is pretty potent.

this really sux for jinro.. and the way he plays it looks more likely that next season he'll drop out of code a rather than getting back into code s

It has huge issues that Jinro did nothing to exploit. Hellion drops are amazing against it and it's weak to greedy builds.

Zenio played really well but Jinro did a terrible job of reacting to the opening.

Shit is sad. Even that win felt like shit to watch. I think Jinro should go to code A, so he can get his shit back on track.

If it works, Nothing at all.

It just feels like it's all he has to offer tonight. Jinro was entertaining to watch in previous GSLs but tonight it's just doing nothing for me.

The bunker rush in this game was terrible for Jinro. He lost too much for too little gain, and it delayed his own expansion.

to clarify something, jinro did the uneconomic bunker rush were he uses a lot of scv's an delay making scv in 11 food to make 2 rax so his economy is way delayed in the beginning and the only way to do justify it is by killing units + hatchery but he only get the hatchery and lost more than its worth.
but it has done more damage to him because he lost a lot of scv's and lost his entire army so he was set far back in the beginning.

the problem is that he has zero confidence in his own game if he feels that constant bunker rushes is his only way of winning

Sad for jinro, but hopefully he bounces back from this and regains his confidence in Code A (and eventually moves back up to Code S).

Can't believe I'm going to say this, but I'm glad Jinro has been moved down to Code A. He doesn't deserve to be in Code S at the moment considering how poorly he's playing.

Code A is really good now, as shown by Keen and Coca cruising through their up and down matches.. Coca only made the RO8 of Code A but he looked a class above Jinro today. Jinro has to hope he gets a decent draw just to stay in Code A, let alone get back into Code S.

He still has the supertournament next month though which he has already qualified for.

Yeah I just hope that he doesn't lose all his confidence. It must be at an all time low at the moment.

The finals might be pretty embarrassing if Inca doesn't get used to the pylon radius and warp gate change. Probably will be regardless.

The vod was already up so I watched the Zenio match, and yeah Jinro is not code S material by any stretch anymore. Found out him and Haypro don't even have a 50% winrate on ladder which shocked me. I said earlier I wouldn't be shocked if Jinro leaves Korea not getting back into code S and I think that would be best for him. He is getting way too frustrated at the game. He needs to step back for awhile.

Yeah i like jinro but im kinda happy he lost. He was rolled in both games. Alot of people are saying maybe he will come home now but he said before that even if he dropped to code a he would stay to korea, i guess we get to see if thats true.

It was fun to see the spanishwa style with a real progamer behind it, looked awesome.

Jinro has said before he's not going to leave korea, even if he gets knocked out of the GSL and has to get a real job he wants to live in korea.

Yep. Too bad about Jinro.

Really thought jinro would beat at least one of these zergs, especially with zenio in a huge tvt slump.

Wow, I guess now I'm just holding out for a hopeful 2-1 win huk vs mma.

Finished catching up on last night's games. I kind of expected Jinro to lose, but it's still disappointing. His play just wasn't very good, and it didn't seem like he had many strategies to deal with anything Coca or Zenio was doing. I hope he pulls out a turnaround like he did when he finally got into GSL and surprised us all in S3/January :(

To be honest, Jinro has become quite mediocre.... Why doesn't he play on his stong points i.e safe macro games instead of those poorly executed bunker rushes?
I'd be curious to know what he thinks has changed in the game to justify this new style of his.

Poor Jinro. Funny to see SadZenith back, after all the hype for him.

He realy rose up on the back of his pvt, his pvp is has always been pretty ordinary and still it was like he lost those games as much as Tester won them.

You can't blame anyone for losing pvp. The match up is so completely messed. Hopefully the new patch will fix that.

good with gravy
jinro has been sucking so much since the WT. hasnt won a series since.

really unimpressive play. made zerg look completely unbeatable. he deserves to go to code A. hopefully get gets better and gets back up to S.

Wow. IM did qualify for GSTL due to not enough points

The method they use to choose teams is as follows:
Total Points = (1.6x + 1y) where
x = number of players in Code S
y = number of players in Code A

oGs : 13.8 (8+1)
TSL : 10.0 (5+2)
Prime : 9.0 (5.1)
StarTale : 8.8 (3+4)
SlayerS : 8.6 (1+7)
MVP : 7.6 (1+6)
ZeNEX : 6.2 (2+3)
fOu : 5.6 (1+4)
IM : 5.2 (2+2)
NS호서 : 3.6 (1+2)
Liquid : 3.2 (2+0)
FOX : 1.6 (1+0)
