Here is a link explaining the third set controversy. I honestly am a bit split on if I think the decision was right. On the one hand, there was a clear advantage at the time, on the other his opponent was still in the match. I suppose it is a tough call, with either awarding a win based on the game until that point or starting again… They probably made the right choice but it doesn’t sit entirely well. I think it affected the loosing man in the fourth set.

There’s the link to the live stream. It’ll be on until about 07:00EST or so, depending. I am about to fall asleep, so I’m going to just watch casually a bit and I’ll add to this post tomorrow when I catch the YouTube coverage. I don’t have the energy tonight, unfortunately.

If you’re interested in pro StarCraft, I do have 3 links which you might find useful.

1. Jon747 – Korean VODs of proleague matches, with the occasional Tekken and Street Fighter match. Updated pretty much daily. After learning the game, I tend to prefer the Korean commentaries, it’s much less distracting to the game. However….

2. SC2GG.com – If you do want English community and commentary, here’s where you want to be. There’s links to the YouTube accounts of the commentators, and it is also updated almost daily.

3. Team Liquid.net – A wiki style database of everything StarCraft with more community and VODs.

Also, while I was updating this, Jaedong knew exactly what Flash was going to do and beat him in less than 10 minutes. Set 1 goes to Jaedong, a massive upset considering how perfect Flash has been doing lately. Maybe I will stay up for this… If I do, you’ll see me updating this page. If not, then I’m asleep. Either way I’ll do a full commentary tomorrow, but I’m certain no one here is relying on my StarCraft coverage.

04:38 – The second set just finished, Flash ties things up. Getting interesting, but also very tired. I’m going to offically sign off for tonight.

Good night, everyone.
