Bisu in the finals of MSL would be more epic than Shine. Stork vs Flash is WAY more epic than a Shine vs Flash. Not to mention that would be sooo one sided.. UGHHHHHHHHH I HATE SHINEEEEEE | ||

I thought Stork knew it was coming (since he did check with a probe just in case) but in any case I don't see what he could've done other than keep probes blocking the rear entrance for quite a while like he did, which in the end still fucks over your economy. The part where he sim citied his main nexus was rather bad, but even if hadn't, wouldn't his nat have been fucked? The thing is, on HBR I have no idea what to expect after the initial gayness. If it's mutas, I'm going to have to put up cannons in the min line, but at the same time that will make me weaker against against hydras. If I am lucky and manage to sneak in a probe, then of course I can find out what is going on and cancel cannons if I had put them up already and he goes hydra, but I'm not always so lucky. But the latter part is just standard on any map. The most annoying part for me is that it comes with the possibility of my economy getting fucked early game. I have no idea how really to deal with it efficiently, and that mindset leads to me doing worse in games on HBR than on any other map ;/ | ||

I have no idea how really to deal with it efficiently, and that mindset leads to me doing worse in games on HBR than on any other map ;/ Remember you see the missing drone before you've even placed a cannon (2 player maps ftw). You move your cannons to anti runby locations. You then fake not scouting it. There's all sorts of ways you can turn it back on them. They think the situation is that they have options like runthrough which you don't know about. Actually the situation is you know about their options but they don't know you know. Often when they think it's unscouted zergs will rape their own eco for lings and suicide themselves into cannons they weren't expecting which is always lol. If you want to be really sexy you just place a cannon on your main minline and don't bother walling at all or put 2 probes in your choke and pylon as he runs through. It's only initial gayness if they have the knowledge and you don't. If you have the knowledge and they don't you can reverse it on them. Shine didn't really commit to the runthrough but he didn't have to because Stork lost a huge amount of mining time which fucked him. Better cannon placements would have stopped 6 slowlings running through without needing any probes so we can assume an extra few hundred minerals if he wasn't an idiot. That means his first corsair scouts better and doesn't die. That means his mutalisk attack is met by cannons and 3 corsairs which in turn means he has 2 gas for longer and can get 4 more ht to meet the hydras. If the zerg does what Shine did, opening by mining through then not committing to it, and the the P does what any good player does, adapting by better cannon placements and not needing probes, then the game progresses as normal. The only difference is that the P needs to add a few better placed cannons vs hydra pressure later should that occur and the Z takes his third about 30 seconds later than normal. | ||

Although I think he pretty much is reliant upon midgame hydra/muta play, he does it well and exploits the maps frustratingly well (see Stork v. Shine game 3 on Neo HBR). My disappointment stems from the high probability of a Flash v. Shine finals. Movie v. Shine has El Nino TWICE in the map pool, so unless Movie defies map imbalance, he will fall to Shine, and Flash will likely dominate Calm as he did Jaedong. Then, what happens? Flash crushes Shine. FvZ is a joke at the moment, as Flash is nearly unstoppable. If Stork made it through to the finals, we'd have a rematch of the Bacchus '08, and methinks that Stork is the only one who stands a chance against Flash at the moment. Protoss is Flash's 'weakest' matchup, and he's been dropping a lot of games to top tier Protoss lately, making an upset a tantalizing possibility - but without Stork, and with Movie heading towards a map imba loss... this OSL is decided. I won't bother watching the Ro4, or probably even the finals. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=104246 hopefully shine and flash aren't too much better than hero and light | ||

Isn't the alternate cannon placement for anti backstab worse against ling/hydra all-in since they won't be in the proper position to back up the later cannons you put up? Although I suppose I should be able to survive that allin relatively fine if he basically wastes a drone at the start. | ||

Dunno man... Movie is good but El Nino is like 80% ZvP in tlpd. Though maybe Movie pulls out some new awesome strat for El Nino? i wouldnt put it above him seing as hes proably Aiurs Brightest star atm. | ||

Although I suppose I should be able to survive that allin relatively fine if he basically wastes a drone at the start. You shouldn't have lost your first scout probe if they only have slowlings. HBR is a decent map for keeping them alive, especially when you're 3. If he gets speedlings that simply compounds the economic damage he's doing to himself. In that context it's not too much to pay to get another 3 cannons at the front. You have a significant economic advantage from FEing without taking any damage against his drone missing ling opening. Minerals are cheap and survival is victory. If he hasn't got speedlings you see what's up. If he has got them, well, that's useful information too. One other trick for HBR that it's worth being aware of is that it's very easy for any player of any skill to drill probes across his back mineral with a pylon.You simply get the probe into the corner with the mineral and the temple and pylon and it just happens. It's way easier than outsider or medusa for that. That trick is great for scouting because you can head to the nat, get your path blocked by lings and then have them chase you to the 3rd, whereupon you jump across and get a head start on the way to his main. It's always a bitch to stop hydraling allins but it's no harder than anywhere else on HBR imo. You'd normally have to add a cannon or two to be safe vs it anyway. Now you have to add the normal amount plus two to make up for the two at the back. However that's not expensive when you consider that the two at the back were already paid for by him in lost mining time and drones. It all evens out. | ||

It's probably the series I'm most looking forward to. Movie has been playing the most innovative PvZ of anyone recently. Him and Stork have been pretty much representing Protoss alone, and Stork only by sheer force of skill. Movie excites me. | ||
