23/11/2009, 18:30 KST. The Emperor faces his eternal rival, The Storm Zerg once again... Stick to Channel MBCGame. Because this will be one hell of a night.
We should just put boxer vs yellow on recomended game right now.even if it's over in 8 minutes it's sooooo worth watching.other matches don't even come close to this.
Lmfao, fuck OGN. Who cares about the other match when you have Boxer v Yellow. I'll be streaming this, simply cause I wanna see Boxer bunk rush and nuke Yellow into retirement.

Haha. Staged. (BeSt, despite unfortunate slump, probably still better than BoxeR) Also, AWESOME. (BoxeR, despite not being as good, still more awesome than everyone)

Because Canata never built twenty Starports and rocked another Terran with wraiths.

He beat Flash, what more does he need?
He needs to beat a Zerg without losing every corsair he produces ;_;.
Don't get me wrong, I love Best, but his PvZ brings tears to my eyes... not in a good way .
Any way, I hope Yellow 4pools and sends all his drones and his overlord and then does a proxy hatch in Boxer's main.
I'm not sure how that's actually possible, but I'm sure there's a way to make it work.
And regarding a post earlier about Yellow - Yellow actually used to win in event matches and things of that sort. I think the gap in skill level between Boxer and Yellow has widened a good amount since their rivalry first started, and I think as a result of this it will be harder for Yellow to win this.
Though I'm sure the game will be very exciting regardless .

Have you seen Ruby recent TvT matches?
Ruby is 0 and 3 against Canata and is on a five game loosing streak TvT, I don't know what the hell you're talkin about
Actually i'm interested to know when was the last time these two played an official match together? That means not a superfight / special event match. I think it has been a really really long time.

I hope either Ruby or Yellow wins, so I get to see Anytime crush Hyuk and take it to ace. Thats right, I want to see Anytime play more than Boxer or Yellow. I'm such a loose cannon rebel.
Gogo oov in ACE. And crazy pick with GoRush beating Bisu, bet hell, this is the very same map that Bisu lost to Yellow on so why the hell not? Iloveoov to round out the old-school matchup frenzy.

He played pretty damn well against Flash. I didnt watch his matches against go.go, but he owned Hiya Skyhigh and Hwasin.
He's not going to bunker rush. This is the map he beat Killer on. He'll be going for a standard bionic game, except he will probably use dropships, and YellOw will probably be playing hydra/lurk midgame. If this is a really good night, YellOw will kill him with the hydra/guardian timing (He has not won a regular season PL game vs a Terran since June 2007, vs Leta and Nada with hydra/guardian).
Ruby has a great shot against Canata. If YellOw wins, the momentum will probably be huge, and Canata will definitely drop his game. Yet GoRush will play his set on HBR... and he will get nervous and drop his set because Bisu won't be losing to ACE zergs on HBR anymore. Anytime vs hyuk feels like a toss-up no matter how the previous sets went. SKT's ace should be a P or a T. Bisu or fantasy on Outsider would be pretty likely. They both excel on that map. But wait... what ACE player keeps getting sent out on Outsider? KONG! So Kong could be ACE's ace, but Reach/Anytime (good on Outsider) and RuBy (ACE's hero) are more probable. (YellOw shouldn't actually be preparing for a second set this match.)
The last time these two teams played, YellOw was a god and Xellos threw away everything. Partly deliberating, partly hoping: ACE 3-2 SK Telecom T1.
Gahhh I can't stay awake any longer -_- lecture 9-12 3-6 tomorrow =( You guys better write epic detailed picturesque second-by-second live reports of the LIMJINROK match so I can read it during my lunch break lol
I'm in a internet cafe in Vietnam waiting for this. Watching old reps right now, getting weird looks. Going to be even weirder when I start screaming IM YO HWAN when he bunker rushes.

well letting all the hype aside, it was a pretty good game some cloning mistakes (scourge), boxers mmn micro was a bit sloppy from time to time and the nukes were totally useless, should have played with dropships instead
but the 3 irridiated ultralisks trying to kill the cloaked ghost alone was worth watching it xD fuck haven't seen stuff like this for ages (yellow bisu hbr maybe?) 8/10 gg
What a beautiful game. From the level of control that both players displayed to the cute stuff like the irradiated ultras frantically trying to splash the ghost...this was definitely worth staying up for.

w/e noob boxer fan!! YELLOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW :D
you know nothing
nuke should count double the worth of ace match victory
Boxer nuked Yellow twice and didn't win.
Happy?
Seriously, I think that if Boxer defended the muta harass better, he could have pulled off a good show with those nukes, he didn't expect that muta harass to be that effective and delay him.
to be honest i was very impressed by yellow's defiler use. a lot of nice swarm/plague combos. another aspect i really liked was his vessel sniping with scourge. it's true that boxer didn't do a good job protecting them but yellow was definitely on top of his game, seeing as he always had scourge around at the right moments.

Well, BoxeR , YellOw, NaDa, Reach, Nal_rA etc all made the game big.. They invented most of the original strategies, even when they are not used anymore. New players are amazing with mechanics and not so much with strategy.
Also there's not really a long rivarly between any new players, because the level is so high that if you start cheering for a player, he might not win another league, or at least be in a final again.. BoxeR did play so much against YellOw when their rivarly began.. so.. I think thats why.

That was true Starcraft. My goodness, I've watched amazing mechanical games and amazing strategical games, but Boxer vs. YellOw just has that something extra that made it amazing.

True that. All new players don't have that quick random thinking like that. I think its because all these mechanics becomes drilled in their head and they only react to what they are taught. Players like Boxer and Yellow think outside the box. They are like Batman of Starcraft.

so tell me, if a building is not bleeding so u can hide the red spot marking the place of impact (like in the boxer killer game) whats the point in nuking? buildings are too strong and drones are just being pulled off. its nice to see (like queens), but there is a reason why it was nevre used in 10 years of broodwar
The use of nuke in TvZ isn't just a cute trick for the fans. 1 nuke and a dropship of MnM can take down the zerg's expansion REALLY fast. The only problem is that the Terran player needs to put up a very solid defense because one nuke = cutting down unit production = likelihood of getting ran over.
P/S: im talking about using nuke in TvZ in general, not specifically about Boxer vs Yellow game. In Boxer's case, going nuke wasn't the most brilliant idea imo.

Since you are at best a B- level player, I can tell you what the difference is. There's moments even progamers don't get to pull off drones because they have either many bases OR other stuff to do. So if I fucking kill 10-12 drones with a nuke (the first 1 killed only an ultra, an overlord and a drone) it shuts down the expansion.. 12 drones is not just worth 700 minerals, its also 700 additional minerals to rebuild them and the time where you have 12 drones less mining.
Its totally worth it since m&m don't really is expensive.. as even progamers usually have spare minerals in TvZ late game / mid game.
But if you still want to say nukes are worthless, go on. People who can't use nukes make them worthless..
pimp hidden drone.. that does not place an expo at the nat but instead goes to the third base. idk no way Bisu should miss that. he doesnt and placed the nex immediatly
speed overlords already out for Gorush, Bisu leads hydras away with 1 DT and drops a second into the base, gets like 6 drones i think some of those were lings beforehand so its not 10 drones

well Gorush kinda didnt use mutas. DA fails at countering anything but Mutas, maybe defilers if youre good with feedback.
DA have a use in every scenario in PvZ, like maelstrom can be used to stop scourge from sniping observers when breaking lurker fields. Bisu tried to do this but did it half a second too late.

I didn't think storms played a huge part in Bisu winning there... I thought it was more about gorush letting him get way ahead in econ and then just macroing up a huge ball that gorush couldn't stop. Even when gorush did get a 4th set up it was shut down pretty quickly.

well Gorush kinda didnt use mutas. DA fails at countering anything but Mutas, maybe defilers if youre good with feedback.
DA have a use in every scenario in PvZ, like maelstrom can be used to stop scourge from sniping observers when breaking lurker fields. Bisu tried to do this but did it half a second too late.
you can also mind control ultras and feedback defilers
I doubt gorush even saw the DA until bisu pushed out; he saw goons. That generally means less HTs and more anti air which makes the DA redundant in skewing z's tech path toward hydras or lurkerling.

There was no muta transition; so I'd consider it a success. Protosses getting raped in PvZ was in large part due to muta transitions wrecking their high temps; any time protoss stops that from happening they stand a good chance of winning.
I didn't think storms played a huge part in Bisu winning there... I thought it was more about gorush letting him get way ahead in econ and then just macroing up a huge ball that gorush couldn't stop. Even when gorush did get a 4th set up it was shut down pretty quickly.
well yeah; the leading cause of bisu winning that game was definitely his opponent being gorush

well maelstorming ultras seems to be much better since the DA doesnt lose his shields using maelsstorm and u dont have to research mind control ^_^
I almost said in the beginning I would have preferred to see the Free reaver all-in from Anytime instead of that lone harass, but this was way way more awesome Amazing play.

Sucking it up lately. Doing terribad. Guy's clearly in a slump.
what, no =(
Speaking of slumps, afreeca's slumping like mad for me. Fuck this shit. Bring back the old days man.
mine's pretty smooth
Everytime I go on a stream higher than 1000k, the stream fucking blows and craps out on me. But all the 1000k streams today are fucking terrible.
kimksj322's one is okay for me
Tried him, not satisfied with quality. Fucking terrible 1000k streams. I was on a good one earlier, but he stopped streaming and left me really pissed off.
ah recall onto the undefended facts, followed by 3 shuttle drop onto an expo, alot of tanks die to the reaver. Recall doesnt accomplish to much and neither does the drop

yeah, too bad teams only send Zergs on it most of the time =/
best wrecking the main and 1 of DE's 2 mining bases at the same time, DE kills 1 of Best's Expos. DE still has scary big tank blob though, and his facts survive, but he pulls back to defend instead of pressing forward
Looks like DE is fucked; it's only a matter of time before he'll get run over cute drop of 2 tanks at 12 to stop mining there best 's army is wayyyy bigger though
oh man Best snipes the starport, no more vessels for DE, his factory count is pretty low as well. but he does have another base established. Best has mined out his natural, and oh god Best has like 5 hidden arbiters.
4 zlots shut down the 10 for a second, recall onto the factories again, gets cleaned up without to much damage but DE is down to about 5 tanks and isnt making many more. another recall at the 11forced to lift, Mines take out alot of zeals and scv's

it looks a bit unsafe atm
At this point Best could just stop making units and kill all of darkelf's buildings with stasis and recall ok maybe not but holy fuck that is a lot of arbiters
Damn, its almost too painful to watch everytime ACE comes so close to victory and they let it slip. Seriously, JD should go to the army now, so when he comes out he will still be young and maybe by the time he comes out Oz has learned to win without him. After all, being in ACE or being in Oz is not that different right now.

yeah it's very sad to watch as an e-sports fan
Why? They're in the freaking army and still they're able to do what they love/they're good at. Nobody really expects them to win so there's a lot less pressure and a lot more fun for them. Just my 2cc.

2 command centers actually cost quite a fortune ...
p/s: thanks kona for the awesome stream, just what i need for my ghetto connection =)
