"They use the lunar year. When you're born, it is your first year of life, hence making you 1. Your first birthday marks the start of the second year of your life, making you 2."

Ok so he's 15 in korean age and 16 everywhere else. :p

17 in korean, they're +1 if they count you as 1 straight off.
 
How epic is Leenock.

That micro, those builds, that macro, the quality of play and just 16 years old.

All those great players he beat to get to the final.

Then the final itself.

Amazing.
 
Naniwa just needed to risk atleast one game on a non FFE and the tournament was easily is, exceptional micro throughout the tournament from him, some of the best in sc2s short life
 
didnt see the final but saw Leenock destroy HuK which was pure lol worthy.
I cant believe how he held that when Huk was warping in + voids , mental. HuK looked like he was gonna cry lmao.

Hypro also did really well, that game with all the Ultralisks was crazy cool, but stupid (really zerglings vs tanks and thors???hmmm), shame he didnt win :(
 
Still don't see why people call a timing attack cheese when Zerg does it, but when Terran or Protoss do it, it's a timing attack.

When Zerg pushes out early with a small group of Roaches, it's "cheesing", it's an "all in".

When Terran pushes out early with a group of Marines or Hellions, it's "applying pressure", "harassment" or a "timing attack".

When Protoss pushes out early with a group of Stalkers/Zealots, it's "2/3/4 gate pressure".

Why the bias?

Leenock did one cheesy build with the really early pool, but that wasn't even cheesy really. He used it to apply a bit of early pressure to a guy who takes liberties with early expanding. He'd seen better players than him get slaughtered by the expand strategy Naniwa was using when they played conventional Zerg style, so he changed it up.

Zerg are allowed to have some aggressive builds too, not just Terran or Protoss.

The cheesiest thing done all tournament was the Cannon Rush by Naniwa on NesTea, but people weren't saying that was cheese were they, they were just praising him for it.

Leenock outplayed Naniwa and deserved to win.


Pretty nice moment!
