SkyHigh vs Fantasy was an amazing game and you should watch it when you have the time. There is a quote, idk who said it but it was in the thread after the match that I think describes the game perfectly lol... Something along the lines of. "Fantasy was up in econemy and harassing everywhere, then all of a sudden SkyHigh said "This is my matchup!" Made a bunch of tanks and just straight up killed fantasy." The difference between translating a game and hating a match-up is that: If you translate TvT, unless some interesting build comes out, it all ends up with the words 'Tanks' 'Vulture' 'Goliath' 'Dropship' Example: AHHH THAT TANK GOES DOWN!!! BUT THERE'S ANOTHER TANK IN THE BACK THAT WILL HOLD!!! IN THE MEANWHILE THAT TANK GOES INTO THE MAIN!!! Now if you hate the Match Up (I don't like TvZ... I don't find it interesting), you don't like seeing it. Doesn't mean that this should be not translated however. In general, I do not translate TvT not because I hate it so much, but because there is none needed. I even state that I will skip the TvTs and most people agree. Do I hate TvT? I hate the fact that it lasts long, but it's a good MU. | ||

Why don't you ask for a million dollars to fall from the sky in front of you, that probably has a more likely chance of occurring. | ||

I don't really know what was the reason he wanted to secure that 4th so quickly... Seemed to me he would be ok just pushing towards Bisu's nat and sitting on 3 bases for a while longer. | ||

Every second counted and fantasy lost because he was just one second behind Skyhigh for a while. Totally agree. I even said it in the stream. That seriously was the most action packed TvT in a LONG, long time. | ||

So I think Iris have not fallen behind before that push. Have that 1st push succeeded, he can easily secure his 4th and 5th, keep macroing up and steamrolled Bisu right there. And that failed push came from placing his siege tank on the mine (Opppps....) If anything, overexpansion was more likely Iris' bane than the reverse. I don't think either are quite the culprit, but the commentators were saying that Iris was playing into Bisu's hands by taking a third rather than continuing to apply pressure. I agree. I think he should have tried for a contain, then take his third. But hindsight is 20/20, as is the omniscient observer cam. | ||

Edit: how is it possible to hate TvZ? What do you hate about it? I think it is the most interesting match-up | ||

Now I'm starting to doubt myself if it was Movie that actually made it to OSL finals and actually won a match against Flash in set 3. Sure, there was the BO advantage by Best, but Movie tried to out-macro Best. Seriously, no offense, but why would you do this? Best is known to Koreans as Do-Mul-Yang (mulyang meaning quantity), and you try to out-macro him. Please reconsider next time. This is just so painfully wrong. What was the biggest mistake movie made? Attacking with his early 5-6 goons WITHOUT range against 3-4 goons WITH range and 2 cannons. Him being too aggressive cost him the game more than anything, but you try to chalk it up to "trying to outmacro Best". He had two bases, and sort of a third. Any progamer-level player can macro properly from 2.5 bases unless being severly harassed. Yes, Best is famous for his macro, but even if you assume it was of a consistently higher standard than Movie's in that game, "Trying to outmacro Best" is an awfully misleading and uninsightful comment. What, should all players all-in against Best? That's what that overused line "trying to outmacro" implies. It's horrible. | ||
