Maybe try with foreigners vs some top amateurs like sSinz, Zelot, Yangachi, Bishop, Scan...? | ||

Apart from the game with Dewalt, which was kind of funky, this has got to be the most crushing defeat for the foreigners so far. Snow looked and felt so incredibly dominant in these games. That was, to be fair, expected This series is great, I hope this can become a regular thing. Who's playing next week? | ||

Just looked at all the games. Very entertaining. The Dewalt game felt like an ASL game, very close. All other games felt like Flash vs amateur | ||

Tbf it's a popular opening when Korean pros play each other. Any rush can be held with proper micro, and Snow knows his micro is superior to his opponents, hence he can comfortably "risk" it. | ||

But when you know you're superior in any aspect, it's a pretty safe bet you can get away with a 12 nexus.  It's like even though foreigners obviously know what the best response is supposed to be, they just can't execute it properly and this gave the needed layer of security for Snow. And he's so tricky too, that probe dance against gypsy, I gasped when I saw it and I thought "No way you're doing this, you're so dirty!" It was so pretty! | ||

Also I'm quite ignorant, can someone explain why did Snow choose to cross scout vs Oya? Is it something like "If he's not cross, I fork my build like this regardless if he's up or left." I'm so confused when pros scout like that, it has to have a reason. It was critical this game as it reveled the zealots and the goon damaged one before they were at the ramp. | ||

I think it would be great! Kudos to Dewalt, someone with worse reaver control than Snow would have lost from that position. | ||

It's even reflected in that you and him didn't quote my full post but just a part of it. I agree the game was lost after that sunken rush (hence I said in one of my previous posts that I thought the game would have ended sooner), but not in the manner that we saw. In fact I didn't respond to your previous post about the unwinnable position because in the end it's not something clearly quantifiable so we can agree to disagree. But now you've made the bolder claim that "Nothing after that point showed anything about who was better", then a certain poster in this thread may feel inclined to remind you that "The discrepancy in skill was apparent in other more subtle aspects of that game". Now back to topic, if you are unclear, here's my two main points: - At the 8:25 minute mark, Bonyth is up 30 supplies (82 vs 52) and 12 workers (46 vs 34), has speedlot +1, while Action is on 4 and a half hatches with only hydra tech. And Bonyth had that lead until the 15 minute mark. Please tell me that there has been no Protoss players in the history of BW who could win the game from there. - Action never made any other fighting units apart from Hydra (and a few lings at the beginning) and he won a 20-minute game just by navigating them effectively (it's not like he did a hydra bust by A click at the natural of a regular map). He probably doesn't need defiler in that game but in a normal game at least we'd see some lurkers or mutas to make his game easier. Why? If it were Bisu at the other end would he dare to play out like that? Or show me a foreigner Zerg who has the audacity to do that and pull it off. A few great storms and the game can turn. So if that doesn't show the gap in skill I don't know what is. Completely agree with you. Action was just trolling him more or less at this point. Don't know why these guys are in denial. | ||
