For all you people who havent watched this series, do yourself a favor and do it now.
You might remember BaBy shaking up the BW world with his performance vs Jangbi in his previous series. He pulled off some impressive TvP skills that a lot of people are talking about. On Sunday he showed he is not a 1 trick pony with some intense TvZ play.
These games are high level, and really exciting.
BaBy showed us some extreme Wraith usage in game 2 of the series.
Getting the most kills with wraiths I have ever seen.

Here is a tally of the Wraith kills that were shown on screen:
39 Drones
9 Overlords
25 Mutalisks
1 Zergling
3 Hydralisks
2 Scourage
5 Lurkers
"The best TvZ we have seen yet" -Tasteless

what i dont get is since baby did so much damage with his wraiths, how did 815 still manage to gather up a big army and win the game?

That's not 815, that's Modesty.

Yeah it wouldn't hurt if he actually won the game. Leta shows how scary terran air units can be better than anybody.
|
Babys wraith micro was incredible. He just screwed up majorly when he pushed out too early and lost a few tanks / rines allowing 815 to do some devastating drops.
|
He spent most of his money on wraiths so he didn't have much of a ground army to deal with the hydra/lurk once the zerg started pushing out. He also didn't have enough detection besides scan nor tanks which screwed him vs lurks. Baby trying to defend both his back nat and his front nat spread him too thin so he couldn't adequately defend attacks from either side.

Because Baby moved half of his army out at one point and lost 3 tanks that he needed for a later push, not to mention those 3 tanks would have been able to help Baby defend Modesty's drop easily.
But since he lost them, Modesty's drop was successful and Baby lost that match.

amazing wraith micro, was very exciting to watch
|
+ Show Spoiler +Even though baby did a phenomenal job of dishing out pain with his wraiths, modesty had 3 base at that time and could recover easily from babys harassment, plus baby does not even have a decent ground forces and plus plus, his wraith play delayed his first expo time significantly...
|
that series vs. jangbi was epic. I was watching that series at my work with no sounds but it still thrilled the shit out of me. I'm going to watch this one now. Thanks.
|
I was shocked. I was like WTF BABY RAPED 815? Although his record kinda wont prove it but 815 is actually a decent player, he is just too greedy sometimes. Modesty on the other hand, is just terrible.
|
baby was greedy that is what happened

And here's the first reason why I was not that impressed by the wraith micro. Modesty defendet poorly.
The second that it obviously didn't help baby to win the game.
No way this was the best TvZ we've ever seen.

Baby has Nada (most successful player of all time) and Mind (former MSL winner and one of the strongest players ever in terms of timing and strategy) on his team. He is definitely getting some of the best terran mentorship possible, excluding fantasy on sktt1. I remember when Baby beat Daezang on Monty Hall, even if that match didn't matter. I was his fan since then.
|
I disagree with the claim that Baby had really perfect or S class play. He just made too many mistakes in this series to be considered to be considered among the best.
However, I am a huge fan of baby's gameplay after the jangbi series and this series. That wraith control was spectacular. All of his games have been entertaining to watch so far.

whoa that was nice play but what a fail way to lose.

You guys should see Forgg vs Jangbi, Forgg loses 100+ units to reavers and still wins haha.
