Backho faired no worse than Bisu did against Shine on HBR. Again, Backho was superb in game 1 and nearly won in game 2. Give him credit. | ||||||||||

Heartbreak Ridge = massive ZvP imba. Even Bisu couldn't do it against a mediocre zerg. Hopefully the next map cycle won't be as ridiculously zerg favored. Anyway, congrats to Calm and thanks again to Kentor. Because he is so increadibly unstable. He often makes S-class moves in games and them throw them away due to very big mistakes, that for some reason, often look hilarious. He the only player who's litterally made me laugh watching some of his games. | ||||||||||

Not sure that is enough Zerg doesn't care about losing the Mutas as long as he snipes the HT... Quick switch to Mutas, punish a few probes if not well defended. Snipe HT while losing your mutas Overrun the P with Hydra Lings (Lurks?) since no more storms to be afraid of. If P goes cors I think zerg can easily go Lurk since P won't have enough gas to have the right amount of obs, HT + goons | ||||||||||

GTR with how free has been playing within the past month, and how Backho played tonight - it's not that far of a stretch imo! | ||||||||||

Matchup code begs to differ! I think Backho just really upped his game tonight - it was impressive tbh and he should be proud of the games he played here today | ||||||||||

The game was pretty even until then imo How was the game even? He let the zerg get 4 bases before he can get his 3rd. The food count was basically even(and it looked like Backho cut probes too since his army looks pretty big compared to food). Plus hydra/lurker/ling pretty much rapes zealot/goon army. That said, I agree that he should've played defensive, and at least put a few lots/temps at his expansions to protect against lings. | ||||||||||

Anyways i don't know who will stop Jaedong or Calm this OSL/MSL if they don't kill themselves earlier . I think Flash is the main contender , but his TvZ looks fragile at times . Other then him i don't know who can do it a protoss player seems highly unlikely... other capable ZvZers could stop their progress but thats to tough to tell . | ||||||||||
