Yeah, it looks like Shine isn't a fluke after all. Will he and Bisu meet again?

Great spell usage from Shine in the low eco game you want to use as much cost effective spells as possible .

Shine played really smart today.
Violet's biggest mistake was waiting so long to get reavers, I think. He had to go around the lurker camp in the middle for 60% of the game.
Ya and also if Violet really wanted it badly enough he could have taken his last base earlier. Maybe he thought it would come down to just holding it but he never managed to get it in the end, great game by both.
Multiple EXCELLENT games tonight - pretty much every single one was really good except maybe Shine vs Skyhigh.

Really great final game, by both players

I mean seriously, esnare archons so that your mutas can harass the shit out of the remaining reavers. That right there is sc at the highest level you will ever see. Be glad you witnessed it calling this game stupid is seriously mind blowing.

That last game was by far the best use of spells by a zerg that I've seen so far

shine will win osl. period

Agreed.
When those archons were right there and couldn't do ANYTHING !
Then Shine comes back around and snipes off more reavers while the archons move 2 inches and can't do anything again!

The game was very entertaining but it was sort of sad to see how zerg on 4 bases can afford tech switching every 3 minutes despite losing like 100 drones. I think Violet should've went mass sair late game, instead of reavers... but GG nevertheless

Really fun games today.
One thing I don't get though. Violet manages to secure five bases, and uses up a ton of resources on zealots and cannons. There's only one base left with any respectable amount of resources and he has no resources left to rebuild his army.
With cannons, high templars and DAs and some reaver/shuttle micro, perhaps Violet could have prevented Shine from taking the 10 o'clock base instead of suiciding his only remaining army after mining out all his five bases. He could have AT LEAST gotten a draw out of this game.

The flanks. Oh god the flanks. I dont think anyone predicted this out of shine :S
|
Violet really earned my respect today. Great play all around.
|
I notice that the recommended games have one thing in common: Violet. The man is highlight-reel bait, for good and bad.
Also if you stuck together every storm in this game it would be over seven minutes, I think.

Indeed, I was like O_O?!??! when it happened.
Also its not all that easy to just DO that kind of flawless muta micro right in this situation (40 minutes into the game) with only 8 mutas - especially if you know you will lose if it fails.

He went a delayed hive strategy, getting it when violet had 4 bases for a while, and since violet went over defensive to counter it, it transitioned into a macro heavy late game anyway.

shine is a next big thing. dont know for his zvz but in other matches he is better than jaedong. specialy in zvp

i think its just people who aren't happy with the result +shine not having as many fans as violet

BW has been really exciting these days for me, im repeating it a million times but the skill level this season is mind blowing, a lot of players that are really good and can take games from anybody and make really epic games, I have enjoyed most of the matches I have seen from the real season, and the question that remains if the Ro36/Ro64/R1 is this good, how good will the real stuff be?
Its a good time to be a fan of SC, better than any age of SC before it, and if you are denying it you are just living in blind nostalgic days
