i dunno, leta's tvp pushes seem a little suspect. maybe it's only coincidence, maybe it's just the games i've been catching.

Leta's TvZ is his suspect matchup, not his TvP. His pushes are the weakest part of his TvP but he excels at every other part of the matchup. He plays best when dropships are involved, so it makes sense that his strength in each matchup would be TvT then TvP then TvZ.

Yeah I agree...if any of Leta's match ups are not tested its his tvz. With few exceptions, his tvz career has been against weak players, or involved some kind of two port wraiths. I don't think its bad by any means, but its untested. Hell, by the simple fact that he has Yarnc, and Luxury to practice with, for large sections of his career, gives a lot of legitimacy to the idea that, while his tvz has not been tested thoroughly, it is probably in decent shape. None the less.

What the fuck are you talking about? Of course the game counts. Blue Storm is an annoying map for Protoss, its not heavily imbalanced, its not terrible. The game was in a high pressure situation, both players played really well, Kal lost. End.

blue storm is bad for terran because of the pathing and if you cant secure the middle, its pretty much over, but if u can split the map, then you will do fine


and leta has been good for months now and ogn even used him as an ace in a crucial game last season

its just that recently hes elevated his game even higher

Kal is probably the absolute most inconsistent dragon out there

He suffers from the Kingdom Syndrome like no other protoss players

I just meant its not the best game to show leta's tvp because blue storm is literally considered to be the easiest map to play tvp on. If you block the early game cheese once you control the center its really hard to lose. You yourself said the map is annoying for protoss. I agree its a fun game to watch but its a bad example of leta's tvp. Its like saying look how good stork is at pvt and recommend a game on katrina.

No actually, its nothing like showing a game from a completely imbalanced map. Blue storm had its share of imbalances for every match up, elements that helped one race over the other. Like every other map on Starcraft. Every map has some cries of imbalance, and the majority do have it. The majority trend one race over the other, significantly or otherwise. At the end of the day, Blue Storm is not remembered as a really hard pvt map, its known as a standard, entertaining macro map that was relatively balanced. Thats why it lasted so many seasons. Protoss may not be in the best position against Terran, but its not the equivalent of Katrina or Medusa.

Either way, when Kal is not playing like ass [and he def wasnt in that game] no terran with bad tvp would have been able to take Kal down on Blue Storm. No terran with bad tvp would have even been able to split the map against Kal. Leta did that. I was not trying to show his tvp was fantastic, I was showing that it was good and it was proven, on maps that were/are frequently played. On maps with similar balance that Leta can hope for in the future.

Leta is not a god, he is fantastic in all match ups, but hes not a god. He can get his ass handed to him some days, just like everyone save #1 on the PR can. And has, recently.


Didn't you just describe FBH's current TvP? That's what I was saying in the first place, that Leta has shown as much TvP skills as FBH. They're about the same in my book as of right now.

You apparently took offense to that, but I still don't see any argument from you Leta should be considered a higher level than firebathero right now in the MU. This is a very simple thing, just compare two player, not whether they're "good", "average", "s-class", or whatever. Just straight-up comparison.

EDIT: Tho this makes me sound like I don't appreciate this thread, which is totally wrong - great OP


yeah i'll admit i don't have much knowledge on starcraft from before 2008. when people, including the announcers, started giving mad props to lomo for his wraith play, i thought it was something brand new.

In my oppinion, Leta's pushes are not that bad TvP. I think he plays TvP the same way he is playing TvT, starting out with a port opening for harass, then trying to maintain superior map position into end game. It all falls apart, however, when he gets recalled and has to reposition his army. I think he is somewhat lacking practise to handle a really strong recall-happy player like Best, who loves his fast arbiters (like every game).

Over rated.

Until he shows the consistency when he's playing BoX series on top of his PL games, I really don't think he's as good as everyone cracks him up to be.

Sea and Mind are defintely the 2nd best terrans around. Sea's TvZ is a bit better most noticeably his overall late game unit control, and Minds TvP might be a smidgen better..not really notably, but Mind doesnt get sexually molested by Stork so yea...and he has won a MSL title, but realistically they are the proven Terran Masters who excel highly in all matchups. FBH is on par with them or slighly better in TvZ and TvT(really good), but considerably worse in TvP.
