Cant wait for Germany vs Russia
Best Matchup of Ro16
|
Go ret! Go Mondragon! I do look forward to seeing BRAT_OK play too, though.
|
Gogo ret... show us your newfound zvz!!
|
Canada780 Posts
Both match-ups are looking really good and should proved some great games today. Good luck to Ret and Mondragon 
|
I am praying mondragon makes it. I know ret will.
Good luck europeans!
|
Western hemisphere fighting!
|
|
|
Oh man, Brat vs Mondragon has me so excited!
|
I want to see BRAT_OK walk all over that slimy alien bastard
terra power
|
I am pumped for this serieses. Altough I think ret coulda 3-0 CastrO (very tough Prediction I know, but ret is able to do it, doesnt matter if its zvz) this should be pretty good.
I am a bit sad that TL do not make predictions in the OP, would be pretty cool.
gogogo TSL, fuck yeah :D

I bet CaStrO will pause at least twice during those series :D:D
|
Is anyone going to stream the stream of this match? Like yesterday?
The original-default stream doesn't work for me, and I can only get audio.
Hopefully someone can post a secondary stream of the original

Ret's alrdy out of Korea, as stated by Artosis.
He'll prolly be super gosu though, improved a lot during his time in Korea, much like Idra and Nony.

You tried it yesterday and had no video? That shouldn't happen any more. =/

Damn, Hot_Bid, really going out on a limb with those predictions.
Jos de Kroon hwaiting! No opinion on the second match, may the best player win.
|
|
|
RET VS CASTRO!!!! HYPE!!!!
|
Brat_OK is definately better as Mondragon (in that match up) but we all know that Mondragon got lots of experience and is good enough to take down anyone.
|

I'm hoping for 10 close games today with Ret and Brat advancing.
|
i don't care who wins.
i like all of them.
|
Totally diggin this music. It's like a wayyy better evanescense
|
Livereports are appriciated as always.
|
Volume is much better this time around, although Day9 is a bit quiet
|
Day 9 has his volume a little low compared to Artosis. Can someone please have Artosis lower his or Day 9 raise his?
|
day9's voice is really soft, he needs to turn up his volume to match chill's

Yup, Day9 needs a volume boost.

wow... they gave Castro two eyes...
I'm going to hell I know

um ... Castro got 1st in WCG Peru 2008 , not 2009

Hey does anyone know who the band is that does all this music in the background.

Is Day sitting across the room from his mic???

Castro isnt the only player who made it from the bottom. Kolll did too...
|
United States4991 Posts
Kolll got a WO in round 1; he didn't play it.
It wasn't his fault, but from the point of actually playing through all the rounds, he essentially came from Q2 not Q1.
|
They are not mentioning him because he got a walkover.

Chill has very good sound on his mic. Day's voice is kind of hard to hear in comparison

I am confident in ret's zvz after all these courage games, as long as he doesn't get totally screwed by BO he should be ok.

Lol. Day 9 always brings the funny.
Ret scouting the right direction, castro not. Wooo!
|
Nothing wakes you up at 6:24 AM like starcraft, ret and day[9].
|
ret going for a 12 hatch for ret, and 12 pool from Castro
|
Build order as well as scouting advantage for ret.
|
Castro has his lings out a bit earlier, but ret will be able to easily defend I think
|
I dont like how ret went lair before speed... =/
|
One ling from Castro slips through to mess up some drones
|
Castro with a sunken colony... which is a bit early

ret's lings had been softened up beforehand at Castro's nat.
|
|
|
OMG Castro takes out ret's natural!!!
|
Ret losing too many drones and the nat hat 
|
ret should have played Terran. Kakashi Zerg will win this game.
|
sick sick sick play from Castro, nice comeback from the bo disadvantage with 7 supply down, ret made a huge blunder there.
|
ret goes straight for the main of Castro... no aa!
|

castro should have put up spores!!!
ret can take this pretty easily now I think, his muta numbers are too great

Haha, I was gonna skip watching Ret vs Castro because ZvZ is dumb, but that was great! XD

That was the sickest ZvZ game ever lol.

wow that was so close for both players

holy shit. omg that was the best thing ever. such a great start to this series.
|
|
|
one spore could have saved castro lol
Can someone explain me why zerg players with 12hatch vs 12pool advantage just dont go mass lings? Its almost the 2nd time ret lost with this BO advantage...
|
In the words of Artosis. "Wowowowowowowow!"
|
Craaazy game. Entertaining indeed.

More awesome than my 1 hatch muta vs. toss into instant gg yesterday.
|
|
|
|
|
OH MY GOD, i wanted to ignore watching Ret vs Castro b/c it's ZvZ. I don't regret watching this
|
Chill and Day[9] are the best casters ever!
|
|
|
Castro should mass lings and defend with spores
|
|
|
LOL ret won with extractor left ONLY LOLOLOLOL
|
Ret really didn't deserve that.

Simply amazing, this series is going to be so sick.

that was a great game, and that's saying a lot considering we're talking about zvz.

How could you feel bad for Castro? He took drones off gas for an all-in ling attack. As a Zerg player, I hate that kind of stuff. Good job ret for (barely) defending it.

12hatch? vs 9pool? i think 12hatch is much more better

that game was fucking crazy!!

I'm tempted to say that the map analysis Day and Chill do before each game is longer than the actual game.

Chill's arms are getting nerd artosises all over them?

Aha lil-ret.. the thug dutchman

I hope this isn't one of those series that have a super awesome first game and the next games aren't quite as good. It definitely was an exciting start to the night, let's see more of this!

Castro's zvz lings are fucking mad, seriously how does he do it, it doesnt make sense, they ARE SOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOD
|
Castro's ling micro is really good. He made a couple of mistakes with multitasking with the lings, but any lings that he was controlling were god-like.
|
So nice to hear some high level English commentary on ZvZ.
Go ret! You can do it!
|
Castro has an unbelievable grasp of zergling vs zergling.
|
At first I was like -.- meh ZvZ and its ret
Now Im like >D
|
Ret now needs to practice zergling micro map!
|
If castro has 10 zerlings and ret also has 10, Castro has more zerlings.
|
castro just do all ling battles ret cant handle it!

If you mean the two lings that were at Ret's third, they moved all of Ret's zerglings out of position so Castro could cross the bridge easier afterwards, so they weren't entirely wasted.

+1 armor wont help him if ret has 2 times more mutas

Castro has nothing left, gg woooot

castro gg's he shouldn't have thrown away those lings

This time ret won on equal builds..GG
|
Nice play from ret, great commentary from day and chill!

If Castro had just had an extra half mutalisk the game would have been totally different!
|
Shows that Castro needs to use lings to win, his muta micro isn't up to par with ret's.
|
United States12607 Posts
ret played much better this game, playing safe to ensure he could get to a muta battle
|
nice clean win. well done :D
|
but then again the lings weren't the decisive part of the game.
|
Ret hasn't shown anything impressive yet, maybe because it's zvz but that muta micro is not that nice.
|
finally ret went speed before lair. Definitely saved him from the lings of castro.

Thats the way to do it!

Ret's ling micro is worrisome. I don't know how Castro's lone ling made it in through like 40 lings in front of the ramp. That shouldn't have happened. Ret's superior mechanics overall though, that's what is carrying this. Nice game.
|
GIVE DAY9 HIS ESPORTS MAHNEEY
|
nice play by bouth players :D
|
ret is playing preety good zvz but his scourge control is lacking he uses like 6 scourge for 1 muta :o
|
Very nice from ret, but I wanna see some of that muta micro that he was talking about and showing off in his muta tutorial
|
|
|
ret was 10 supply ahead when he left his base, perefect timing right after castro started his upgrade

Very nice timing by Ret. He attacked while the upgrade was still going, so Castro ended up with too few Mutalisks for the upgrade to pay off.
Overall, in spite of a few slight blunders, Ret was stronger in Game 3. We shall see if he can use that momentum in Game 4.

I don't think this was about superior muta micro. Ret built up a small econ advantage and attacked at just the right time.

ret's decision to build the 2nd gas way faster than castro and castro building an useless sunken decided the game

WOW down 2-1 CastrO decides to put it on the line with a 9pool, you've got to admire the balls

Castro's gambit totally failed... ret finishing his lair, but the spire from Castro is already started
|
ret knows what hes doing chill
|
Wow Ret's ZvZ has gotten really good O.o!
|
Ret? What're you doing? Get dem lings into that base.
|
evo goes down for ret, still spawning lings - is he going to do a ling attack before mutas are out?
|
United States12607 Posts
ret playing super safe, just droning up and going for spores. I like this play a lot, forces CastrO to work harder with his mutas.
|
yay finally ret will show why he is the superior player!
|
Uhhh wth, suddenly buffer 20sec every 5sec

I need to trust in Ret.

3 mutas out for castro - going to get some free ling shots
1 spore up at ret's nat, and 2 more creep colonies
4 mutas out - killing an OL
|
|
|
ret supply blocked - and another OL dead
castro needs to choose - expo or fight
|
castero taking his nat - he's built up 5/6 mutalisks
|
Ret got over twice the minerals of Castro in the last minute (and only a little less gas).
|
|
|
ret moving out with a ton of lings while castro's mutas are away

Very well done by Ret, he showed his superior skills in games 2 and 3
man, how much would Castro like to have that first game back???
|
|
|
GG from Castro. 3-1 for Ret. Great series.
|
wtg Ret, show the doubters
|
fancy micro 20 muta vs 2 scourge
|
GG! Nice job Ret.
Just have to get through... SEn... now
|
RET! Hulksmashing all of Peru's hopes and dreams
|
Well played by Ret. It looked like he'd really settled in that game.
|
Great series, especially for zvz.
|
Wow, comfortable ZvZ victory by Ret.
|
That's my favorite ZvZ build. I love that spored up econ situation. Great job Ret! He's headed for the finals now.
|
Phew, ret had me worried there for a bit.
I really didnt like his lair before speed in the first two games. Thank god he fixed that in the last two.

Dang it seems like the LLL team has no bad players in it what an amazing team!

RET's going to be a RAPPER lol

Vent with ret

Really great ZvZ series. Castro's zergling micro was so fun to watch but I think ret had an edge whenever mutas came into play.
|
Thank god I hate castro so much glad Ret won :D.
|
hmm, almost all the Ro16 wins have been by a player who seems to have out-predicted the other person

he always had 3+ mutas. At this point u can just attack move them and win

Lets go Brat... Similar-ish flags will claim the day!

Beautiful wins by ret... very entertaining games

(The wind cries Mary)
|
Lol, how many ZvZs can one man run into? Poor ret.
|
aw...another ZvZ next round for ret?
|
This live interviews mid-cast are amazing.
|
Bratok = Brother in Russian right?
|
At least Ret will be super at zvz after this, considering the practice he is getting.
|
I'm hoping for Brat_OK, I really want to see a him vs ret match

Yes. It's a bit closer to "bro" in meaning tho.

Brat = Ivan Drago
Gonna crush Mondi

|
man, the picture of BRAT_OK looks so sinister - with his facial expression and his fingers on his chin
|
Wait wait.
If day[9] already has 5 e-sports dollars. Chill bet five more, then day[9] raised 10... to a total of 15.
So if Brat wins, day[9] should have 20 E-Sports dollars total.
Thats enough to buy Jaedong's luck Ivory Pedant.

He lost as the huge favorite last time in the first round, I hope Mondragon can pull the upset last time.

2 drones sent out - 12hatch
BRAT_OK only now sending out an SCV, scouting wrong

BRAT_OK sending out a second scv scout - I like when players doing that
|
oooh, 2 rines moving out - will they kill the OL?
expo CC being placed
|
haha Day is a prophet.
"that little sliver of no vision that marines could sneak through"
Then immediately Mondi's overlord moves to cover it.
|
OL makes it to the ledge, lair going up - scouting SCV finally dies
academy, 2nd rax being placed
|
|
|
8 rines of brat_ok's force the ling back
10 rines now...ebay going up, spire going up
|
2 firebats added, mondragon about to talk bottom left
marines with 2 bats 2 medics moving a little out

mondragon getting a queens nest, for a hive

3 rine kills, one muta dead in a small amount of harass
vessel tech being finished

Mondi's muta micro is not impressing here.

how is it strange to get both tanks and vessels what the fuck?
|
2 more rine deaths, 2 more muta deaths too - first vessel in construction

Defiler den just started, the timing looks good so far

Mondi was never known for his mutal control, but he never wanted to practice it. But he's still decent with it and uses his mutas really good strategically.

Rofl guardians giving day[9] a nerdgasm

Guardians morphing at 12... they should be finished at an opportune time
|
"game-changing guardians" - hmm
they fail so often in pro games, but let's see here
consume is done
guardians done too
|
Lolol
Mondragon puts hairs on the chest of zerg players around the world.
|
brat_ok - great response, saves 2 out of 3 tanks despite swarm/lurker
guardians are being revealed - dropship moving out
|
Oof dropship scourged and drop useless
|
mondie suicides a bunch of lings
brat_ok finally runs his scv's from his nat
dropship scourged after it moves to mondie's main...waited too long
|
France2061 Posts
Brat_ok against a 4 base zerg without having harassed at all. Don't know what's his plan.
|
brat_ok doing very well at withdrawing his forces when swarm done, guardians FINALLY cleared - but they stopped a lot of mining and killed quite a few scv's and even a depot or two
|
defilers are being very consistently irradiated
wow, brat_ok's nat has so few scv's
|
Mondi's minerals just keep stacking up. :/

It's not that they're trying it, they try it in practice they just realized that they have a greater chance of winning when they use guardians
|
brat_ok has a supply advantage 134-103
brat_ok amazing control when swarms appear, and have been irradiating defilers right away
|
France2061 Posts
Mondragon has nearly 3k minerals...
|
brat_ok has reached bottom left with his push - but lurkerling and one defiler close to brat_ok's nat
|
wow, lurkers killed a lot of rines from brat_ok's push, brat_ok has to withdraw from bottom left
brat_ok taking 3? I'm not sure
|
Brat_OK expanding... but Mondragon is doing so well so far I think... other than he's got tons of mins building up
|
Man this is turning out to be just as awesome as i'd hoped!
|
wow, rine surround on lurkers at brat_ok's front door, all killed
mondragon has >3k minerals
|
Mondi's macro is suffering a bit
|
Awesome play by both now.
|
lol - bottom right - mondragon making a hatch, but there's also a rax and factory in progress
|
Nice juicy plagues lol... and two drop ships moving out
|
2 dropships out - game is great so far
plague on 4 vessels and a lot of mnm dies, but brat_ok has 10? vessels!!
|
|
|
wow brat_ok macro is amazing

If you have mutalisks left from harassing its so very cheap to make a few guardians its almost obvious choice to do it.
|
BratOK taking out the nydus at bottom left, and it will be really hard to defend that
|
Nvrmind, lurkers clean it up
|
2 dropships about to attack bottom left - he focused fire on the canal and lost a lot of rines to defending lings
an attack on brat_ok's nat
dark swarm in front of the bunker, scvs run
|
Ultras out for Mondragon!
|
3 lings killing a lot of scv's at 3
|
BratOK taking out bottom right, but losing his expo at mid right
|
but brat_ok clears mondie's bottom right
wow, so back and forth
|
damn mondi has some great game control, keeping on top of things despite bratok's crazy macro
|
Mondi pulling ahead in supply.
|
Holy shit in like one minute the supply gap went from brat_ok 170 - 120 mondragon to like brat_ok 130 - 140 mondragon
|
|
|
Cmon man obs missing so much of brats multitask t.t
|
|
|
brat_ok building vultures now - mines will be good vs ultralisks
both players >1k minerals
2 dropships moving out - even with d-matrix, they die as lots of scourge were there
|
|
|
big plague - on a dozen vessels
|
Oh shit such a dirty plaguu
|
mondis playing much better than i would have ever expected game 1
T_T
|
Ahah the plague hit every vessel... brutal

mondie has built a queen - and is taking the nat of bottom right
mondie also threw in one hydra - it killed one earlier plagued vessel
|
Queens out for Mondragon... infested cc?
|
epic plague on the vessels
|
mondis play is so experienced
i <3 it..
|
|
|
|
|
Mondragon has great knowledge of the game and despite his low APM he's insanely fast (try to find FPVOD's of him, he really uses his 230 apm)... ^_^! And Brat_OK is a really mechanical player, thats why it will be such a good game.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rofl at those plagues, omg.
|
brat_ok with 4 irradiates on lurkers - mega plague on the entire mnm force and vessels
all 11 vessels die and mnm die
brat_ok in tough situation
|
BratOK's army massacred... this looking grim
|
chill and day9 have the best analogies
|
omg mondis plagues and swarms are out of this world
im impressed man..
sick :D
|
Impressive play by Mondragon
|
Mondragon's Defiler play is spectacular.
|
Wow plagues. Irradiated ultras on plagued marines are beautiful. Mondragon is so good. Edit: Infested cc lol.
|
Oh my god. Those plagues were so sick!

Thats awesome... Mondragon so dominating this game...

what a BALLER is mondi..
wtf :D
^^^^^^^^
|
Hahaha... Infested Command Center. Oh my...
Really nice defiler play too by Mondragon
|
|
|
I guess dissy promised someone to use it... Mondragon's defiler play is amazing.
|
He could have killed the CC but he's gotta be a baller and infest it. So amazing.
|
brat_ok killing the hatch at inner bottom right
mondragon clearing mines with lings
ultraling pushing into the nat, without swarm, repelled
|
Mondragon now racking up like 4k minerals...
|
brat_ok building a cc at bottom right, down to 92 supply
mondie mining more than double gas and minerals than brat_ok
|
modi winning game 1 in a amazing fashion
|
Dirty drone burrow from Mondi
|
ultras shut down bottom right
small vulture raid at 9, but doesn't do too much damage
|
Cute use of burrow again... mondragon should run BratOK over pretty soon
|
well mondragon having lots of minerals now is excusable because he's almost maxed
|
|
|
mondragon taking 4 - ultraling with swarm moving into brat_ok's nat
it's almost over

I disagree, lets assume 6 mutas left that's 750 gas for 6 guardians
|
Mondragon expanding bottom right... and 3 oclock for BRat is done I think
|
Good defense from Brat at his ramp
|
another vessel plague, brat_ok going to be very poor in minerals soon
|
The difference in supply is insane... about double
|
That was an awesome mine.
|
oOOHHH Crazy mine... but its not gonna be enough
|
brat_ok retaking 3
wow huge mine kills like 14 zerg units
but it doesn't matter - an attack coming at 3
|
Bottom right falls to Mondragon...
|
That was a damn good game. Please let this go to game 5! :D
Why did Bratok wait so long before his first push?
|
brat_ok can't fight the well-placed swarms of mondragon without tanks
despite getting his machine shop relatively early, he's stopped building tanks
but then again brat_ok isn't rich enough to do a major tank switch
|
|
|
GG from Brat. Great first game.
|
brat_ok gg's, nice game to watch
|
Very good game, great play from Mondi
|
gg from BratOK... looking forward to game 2!
|
|
|
Despite being high in the banks it was art-mondi-play!
|
|
|
killing 3 dropships paid of so much ..
|
I have a feeling this is going to be an epic series
|
mondragon's macro wasn't great - but his swarms and his plagues were top-notch

BRAT_OK with awesome macro
i saw him at 1 mineral nearing the end of the game lol
|
Brat_OK is so good.
He lost that, sure, but he played extremely well. I really think he's going to win this series, but it'll certainly be tough.
|
|
|
|
|
It was a nice game... I'm glad to see Mond so strong here
|
|
|
not a good game for bratok.
hope he will rise on tornado
|
interesting - unlike yesterday, both day and chill have their own cameras

haha brat ok is good, but how does mondi playing that well (superior to brat ok in that game, obviously) make you think he's going to lose? i just don't really follow your logic heh
|
Mondragon at 1
Brat_OK at 4
|
France2061 Posts
Great game, though Brat_ok really let Mondragon run away with the econ advantage. Mondragon has poor macro, but his defense, and that lurker/defiler backstab were perfect.
|
Mondragon 12 hatching... and dronescouting
|
12hatch from mondragon, he only sends one drone this time, dronescouting!

scv's in mondragon's main

Purely mechanically Bratok seems superior to Mondi.
|
first gas going down for mondragon, 2nd rax being placed
6 lings move out towards brat_ok's base, bunker being placed
|
bunker makes it up just in time, but 5 lings are in brat_ok's main
only loses 1 rine 1 scv and clears it out

oh, ebay is already up too, 3rd rax going up

2 ol's moving towards 11

Mondragon getting the other main as his third...

Mutas building now... so everything looks standard

mondie preparing to take the 10 main, starport being added

Mondi produces only drones and Brat_OK cannot do anything... It seems tha economy of a zerg will be impoving and improving!
|
mutas emerge - flying around
|
Brat_OK turreting heavily... these mutas wil be hardpressed to do alot
|
here comes the muta harrass - 2 scv kills
|
After 2 hours of casting, I like today's casting team a lot better than yesterday's.
Great job, guys!
|
hmm, I agree with Chill, brat_ok has a lot of turrets spread out, a waste
2 rine kills, 1 muta dead
|
lurker aspect almost done evolving
ground carapace starting
|
Lots of the mutas are melting... but they are kinda doing what they're supposed to
|
Lurkes about done... defilers starting to come out
|
hive done - I never saw the queen's nest
defiler mount up
|
Oh yep another greater spire so guardians again
|
1st vessel out with 2 tanks - moving out
greater spire morphing again...
irradiate research starting

Why is everyone telling whats going on. Arent everybody watching? And those who arent cant possibly keep track with this spam.
|
about 2.5 groups mnm, 1 vessel, 3 tanks moving out - lurkers taking tank shots
|
Guardians are looking to be more aggressive and counte the push coming from Bratok
|
Nice swarm... lots of marines go down... very nice
|
wow, the miniplateau swarmed, brat_ok loses a tank and quite a few mnm
|
|
|
Such sick timing by Mondi.

tanks and mnm die to another swarm/lurker push when he was irradiating the defiler
defensive guardians?
more swarm - more mnm/tanks killed
if brat_ok doesn't irradiate the defilers quickly, mondragon's excellent swarms are killing him
dropship moving north!
guardinas finally moving out
|
mnm dropped and attacking the defiler mount
guardians attacking bratok's nat
|
Guardians totally raping this time around... the nat is in shambles
|
defiler mound destroyed, but drop cleared out
guardians driven off, but there's one that hasn't been irradiated - taking shots at the refinery

don't tell me brat_ok is going to stop building tanks like last game?
now just moving around with vessels and mnm

Beautiful plague!!! aweeeesome
|
dropship scourged...mondragon now on 5 bases - bratok right at 9
super plague on most of the mnm and 2 vessels
|
mines being placed - mondragon has taken 7, bratok taking 5
brat_ok slow to take his 3rd in both games
brat_ok loses a lot of rines killing 2 lurkers

|
|
|
|
vessels invade mondie's rally point and irradiate a lot of ultras and defilers
irradiated defiler still plagues a but of mnm/1 vessel
bratok has 180 supply to mondie's 132 - but mondie has so much control
|
Russian Federation26 Posts
I seem that in this game BratOk doesn't have any chance... Like the first one! It's really pity!
|
pure rine attacking 7, it'll probably succeed
|
I'm so impressed by Mondragons Defiler play. If one gets Irradiated he still chases down a group of MnM and gets a plague of before it dies. Awesome.
|
ultra/ling/hydra with swarm push bratok back close to his nat
|
Bratok takes out Mondragons southern expansion with a small mm force.
|
a dropship moving out, over mondie's units - kills a few drones at 11
ultras attacking bratok's 5, it lifts
|
Mondi's macro is looking a lot better in this game.
|
LOOK AT THAT VESSEL COUNT !?
O M G !
|
LOL thats a lot of vessels... wtf.
He could win with just his vessels

lost too much dropship too bad

dropship at 1 scourged
I'm glad brat_ok isn't giving up on dropships as they're necessary
wow a lot of lurkerling in the middle of the map - lots getting irradiated
mega plague on lots of mnm and vessels
|
these games are very good
mondis scourge sniping the ships so goood..
tt
|
plague + irradiate is brutal
|
France2061 Posts
Marines just aren't cutting it v all these ultras, even irradiated.
|
lings attacking bratok's 5 - not lifting yet
ultra finds bratok's 2
|
Mondi's great plagues are winning him the game.
|
seriously i didnt know mondi was this good in ZvT
Im seriously fucking suprised..
+ his plagues and swarms are so top notch..
vessls > 12 T_T
|
god damn, mondragon doing good
|
oh lol 1 hyd killing 6 vessels :D
|
Bratok's macro is sooo good, but he has yet to do anything with it. No successful pressure at all during the first 2 games. I really hope this doesn't become a 3-0.
|
mega plague on vessels again, and 3 are lost
nice drop on mondie's main, kills a lot of drones and the greater spire
but mondragon has such a good economy
|
damn take down great spire for what ??
|
Awesome delicious plague.. BratOK just getting ripped apart
|
mondi just took the whole map.. everythings yellow
|
seriously i didnt know mondi was this good in ZvT
Actually i think Brat_OK is playing poorly.
But still, Mondy is really good.
|
|
|
omfg mondragon so good with his plagues... He just took like 10 vessels with just 1 hydra and plague... lol
|
These plagues are just totally crazy.
|
Mondragon expanding all over the map... this should be gg
|
mondragon doing amazing with plagues and swarms
lots of previously plagued vessels dying to hydra
|
really surprised at how great Mondragon is playin
|
cheese is it mondragon being so good or brat_ok so bad ?
I dont get this.. this is like watching Jd playing a A- iccup player wtf..
sick..
|
minidrop on bratok's 2 - lots of scv kills, it has to lift
|
gg from Bratok!! Very nicely plagued played by Mondragon
edit: lol subconcious
|
Modragon drops Bratok's only mining expo.
Bratok types out. Mondi up 2-0
|
wow bratok looking totally outclassed.
|
GG, mondi up 2-0. Great games so far. Both players doing well.
|

Considering how epic these plagues are, I almost wish the commentators would lose it Korean-style whenever they saw one.
|
Mondragon = plague master
|
I think nobody expect this...
|
This is totally the best series yet. I would like to see some of that tank-heavy style coming from Brat_OK
|
bratok unable to prevent mondragon's economy from really taking off midgame in both these games
|
Sick sick defilers.
Great games this weekend!
|
Bratok should be denying the zerg's third base with his first m&m group.
|
|
|
Why is chill saying that he isnt that good of a commentator? He´s brilliant, maybe partially due to day9 but still!
|
|
|
I mean I love mondi but after seeing his games vs shaman i wasnt sure at all he would do good vs brat_ok since bratok is just a much cleaner and better gamer imo..
Im just stunned
Maybe its bratoK doing a bit bad and mondi really good..
crazy.

Flash always plays SK terran after his initial pre-hive push
I mean sure he goes mass tank in the late late game, but he still utilizes pure Vessel + m&m extensively as part of his standard play

I hope to see some better aggression from Bratok in this game please.

what are you talking about mondie's play not that great- mondie's defilers have been casting amazing swarms and plagues

mondie denies scv scout again

Come on, go lurkers. I don't think Mondragon's muta control is good enough for 2 hatch.

Yup, Mond gets the spire down..

Mondragon upgrading plus 1 air attack. Maybe he is planning ahead and go ultra-guardians.

queen's nest going up - mondragon not doing enough damage for 2-hatch mutas
|
Mondi's mutas are doing nothing
|

vessel tech is in progress
hive going up
a few rine kills with muta harass
|
Mond starting the hive, but it might not be quick enough to stave off all those marines

stream's buffering to 100% and nothing

day got this right, this aggressive style is bratoks bread. Hes 100 times better off vs 2 hat

bratok doing the machineshop/vessel thing again
5 rax now
mnm killing about 3 mutas?
dropship first, neat
|
first tank out - dropship flying to the left of the map
mondie taking the 7 double gas

nvm, site stream works, winamp one doesn't
|
Guardians again.. and defiler tech up
|
Dropship takes out the double gas expo
|
2 hacth mutas finally doing some damage by cutting off reinforcements. Bratok drops mondi's double gas expo and kills everything there.
|
all rines at bratok's ramp killed, but a lot of mutas lost too
drop on the double gas kill 2 drones and are damaging the hatch - but the mutas are coming back - not in time, hatch killed
|
brat pushing out very quickly - mondragon doesn't stall but instead pulls his 5 lurkers all the way back to his nat
|
mondie's swarms are so good - they come out quickly and cover a lot of distance

Day9 is lacking technology.
|
dropship got intercepted at bottom, ob didn't catch it
|
You must construct additional technology.
|
Hello hello hello to you chill!
|
if monragon takes this one it just proves that bratok has no business playing at this stage
|
Open mic for chill atm. I don't think he knows that he's live.
|
|
|
the TSL just doesnt feel right without technological difficulties once and a while
|
victory for this game should go to jaedong
|
|
|
Brat_OK is playing too standard. He has good mechanics but strategically he's not getting things done, like do damage or kill expansions. This series is looking like F91 vs Idra from last year.
|
I think Day9's mic just slid out of the socket due to excessive orgasmic thrashing around
|
You must construct additional technology
|
Its like MSL again...lol
Power outrage.
btw Mondragon is amazing... his defiler usage its like watching Savior on his prime T_T
|
|
|
Will TSL award the win to Jaedong?
Edit: Aw, beaten to it.

Ah sweet they're back... and all those guardians fall

it always seemed that he lacked some tvz sense, he never knows how to deal with specific situations. Its like hes seen defilers for the first time in his life

power outage wins twice in one gmae

ugh swarm lasts too long. So hard to have a nice push as terran.
|
Hahhahahahah wtf was that noise that Day9 just made. Mines make his throat explode apparently.
|
Technology at its finest :/ tsl organizers are gonna take heat for this even though they've done such a superb job overall.

mines killing quite a few units
if brat_ok can irradiate defilers early - I think he can do fine

bratok walks past some lurkers and loses some mnm in the middle of the map
brat_ok once again transitions to a tank-free army, like the past 2 games
|
BratOK's supply twice at Mondragons...
|
can mondi macro at all lol
|
mondie letting a lot of minerals pile up...all his attention going to controlling his defiler?
drop takes out 3 double gas
a drop at bottom left...
|
we missed the biggest plague
|
wow, bratok has 3 rines at 3 taking shots at the 4 hatchery, expanding to 10
mega plague on 5 vessel/mnm
bratok attacking mondie's nat with plagued mnm, but a clutch swarm pushes them back
about 2/3 previously plagued vessels lost
hatchery at 4 taken out - another hatch being morphed there, 3 dropships fly over to mondie's main
|
17 rines 1 medic in the main - mondie going 2 hatch really helped bratok
brat-ok attacking the nat as well
|
France2061 Posts
So if Mondragon doesn't get 3-4 gas before the Terran pushes out he just can't manage to get any units.
|
|
|
couldnt you play like that from the beggining, Brat?
hope next one is his
|
Not sure why mondi is still in the game.
Anyway, great series!
|
all drones in mondie's nat killed, 2 lurkers prevent bratok's 10 from mining
mnm moving towards mondie's main, swarm above the ramp stops bratok from moving up
|
what a change of events now its suddelny brat_ok dominating !
|
mondie down to 61 supply, finally under 1k minerals
the swarm expires - here comes bratok's forces
|
do we need too live report this? i think everyone has the stream working

bratok takes 2, but there's a lurker across the mineral line
4 dropships moving around

drops at 4 and 8!
12 vessels all bunched up at mondi's ramp, asking to be plagued - and they did
hydra killing off all the plagued vessels - 9 of them

Nice dropship play. Mondragon definitely isn't cut out for 2 hatch. He's just too old school for that.
|
I lol'd when Day made the comment of Russian men. 23 marines + 1 medic
If Brat_OK had better decision making, he'd've won pretty easily given how much superior his mechanics are.
|
China7935 Posts

bratok opened the same way he did every game, it was mondragons mistake to try 2 hat without having proper mechanics and gamesense for it
he was destroyed from the beginning, his loss was a matter of time
|
|
|
Mondragon lost, but I have to handed to him. He held out for a really long time under enormous pressure.
This series can still go anywhere.

It can sometimes be really nice to look back over epic games via the livereport thread. Like this one.
You can see all the reactions and suchlike. You can remember the excitment you felt at the time.
|
Bratok walling in, huge chance of mech play.
|
I love the live reports because while I watch the games on the stream, I usually come back to read peoples opinions/emotions on each play by play afterwards and it's kinda nice because it's like taking off a blindfold (i.e. not being biased for the rest of the game) and comparing my overall impression of everything to everyone elses.
|
9 dronescout is going to get in before the wall is done
now harassing the scv building the rax
12hatch
|
mondragon blocking his ramp with a drone, hmm
factory already going up
mech it is!
haha, scv gets through the drone on ramp - but nothing interesting to see, 3rd hatch built in nat
4 lings pop, 1 chase the scv, 3 head out
|
where can i see the draw of tsl ? i can't find it.
thx
|
den being built, 1st vulture out and kills the 3 lings
|
|
|
2 idle drones in mondie's main for awhile...not so great
nice miniwall at mondie's nat with the sunken will put a cap on any vulture raids
bunker at the bridges

bratok has a really good chance to take this one, his mech is definitely better than his mnm and the map is ultimate gay to zvt on
|
ebay going up, 3rd factory going up, +1 vehicle weapons being researched

hrm - if lurkers attack bratok's nat from behind, his hidden expo will be easily discovered
|
interesting build from mondragon

The commentator is right... What is the Hell going on?!
|
That is so true; Lurkers are so bad that I generally don't prepare at all for them when I mech.
|
i LOVE ( !! !! ) mondis answer to mech
interesting !!
|
Quick lurkers from a proxy hatch cancel mining at bratoks expo for about 2 minutes.
|
im not sure how mondragon is going to benefit from this trick

bratok can't even consider the possibility of the hidden expo? damn

once again mondie's going to be so much richer than bratok

move the damned barracks to the lefttttttt

instead of building lurkers he should have expanded another 2x :/
|
hive being built, +1 zerg ranged attack is already done
the lurkers from behind are trying to harass again, one tank left behind takes a few shots - but the turret is killed
a group of mutalisks run in but are devastated by irradiate/goliaths
mini vulture harass at 10, but doesn't do too much damage
|
if he tries something "interesting" one more time bratok is going to roll him next game
|
man i like mondis play so much vs mech
seriously T_T

i really Mondragon to win this ...
cmon Mondi , 4pool in last game !!!!

finally bratok deals with the 7 expo by raiding it with vultures - a lot of drones killed
|
Mondi macro > Brat_OK macro
|
mondie taking 9? not sure
when bratok takes 7 for himself, half the minerals will already be gone, hah
|
wow, nice hydra/swarm/lurker push - kilsl a bunch of units, and bratok is going to lose 5
|
damn 3rd basically gave up for free
|
WHAT THE FUCK bratok is doing
he gave up his position in the middle holy shit
|
mondi will win this game..
hes playing so wisely..
really
!!
|
Such bad positioning by Bratok.
|
|
|
mondie's macro a lot better this game
bratok mining up bottom middle and taking some territory
a few vultures moving out are killed by hydraling
vultures raid 9, but are killed by hydraling again
|
1-2 hydra ups, 2-3 tank ups, 1-1 ling ups
bratok re-taking 4
|
man hes 2-3 with control grp of tanks
i want some action
|
Brat_OK needs a lot more shit for mech.
|
bratok not even expoing enough
i dont understand what the hell is he doing
how simple is it to take your half of the map and turtle, not like YOU CAN DO ANYTHING ELSE BRATOK
|
hydra attacking a little below middle - but a LOT have been killed by mine/tanks
|
|
|
drop coming in - drops a bit at 4, more drop in main
bratok's going to lose a lot of depots
|
|
|
10 depots killed - the CC from 4 in the red, floating
|
I dont see Brat wining this
No 5 set seens so

France2061 Posts

hydra ultra attacking bratok's left forces, since bratok's forces are split up - they're killed
but mondragon loses a bunch of stuff too
|
If you ever see Flash play on desti, he will have like 200 turrets up across his half of the map, essentially stopping any drops.
|
Mondi was playing that BEAUTYFUL
SERIOUSLY ! =)
|
irradiated ultra killing scv's - haha
bratok's 8 attacked, mining stops
|
its like bratok fails to grasp basic ideas of gameplay
this map is so specific, how do you not know your weak spots
its been done 1000 times before
|
Mondragon solving Brat_ok's supply problem
|
another small drop in bratok's main - all lings - they aren't moving yet
lurkerling attacking towards 9 - 2 sarms down
there aren't enough tanks to deal with allthe ultras
|
Im so impressed with mondis ZvT .. especially this game vs mech
Just AMAZING
...
GG !!
|
like i said bratok had no business playing at this stage
ggs

bratok down to 61 supply, mining almost nothing
game is almost over

Sweet game though. Mondi doing everything you aren't supposed to do vs mech and kicking ass with it.
|
Bratok has nothing but tanks. Mini drops are Super-effective!
|
crazy series.. the first one that really showed what I expected from it..
amazing stuff
GG
Mondi 3-1 vs brak_oK advances to face Fenix

ultraling in bratok's main - factories lift

Mondi's ZvMech is beautiful. o.O
|
Beautiful play by Mondragon.

GG. One of the best series i've seen in a long time.
Amazing!

sick series from these two.

Alright mondi is looking extremely strong If he could just get a better grip on his macro...
|
great series tonight, props to Mondi he played really well against Bratok. GGs and thanks Chill + Day9 combo entertainment
|
Mondragon wins, screws up my Liquidbet points.
|
nice play by bouth players gg
|
Mondragon played some impressive ZvT today. He would still get stomped by Idra though.
|
Insanely epic games today!
ZERG MADNESS!
|
|
|
mondragon did play well against mech on that map, but also bratok didn't play to the advantages of mech either, which made mondragon's job easier
|
Too much hype for Nony vs Idra, i feel a power outage coming!!!
|
|
|
Great games and I really liked the commentary too. Such good chemistry between Day[9] and Chill

By far. Great commentary, great games.

Zerg have become really good at dealing with Mech and this game preety much higlighted this.
Another victory for the Blitzkrieg Zerg. Good job, Mondragon!

Thanks tons for the games, the commentary and the starleague itself. This is shaping up to be truly epic.
See you again next week
|
Really entertaining series and strong looking winners (100% liquidbet -_-). Thanks TL.net!
|
Too bad bratok was eliminated this early, but he played good games! Congrats Mondragon! GGs
|
Good games. Is it just me that in games 1-3 Brat didnt have enough tanks? One swarm always stopped his attack and every game it was 2-3 bases vs 5-6. Game 3 he won because there were no swarms. His response to defilers is D level, I just dont know how he managed to hang on for so long.

I think it has to do with Day[9]`s flexibility as a caster. Out of all the commentators in the foreign community, he is the only one who can completely comfortably switch between "colourful" and "technical" commentating. So regardless of who he works with, he can easily adapt and make sure the cast is excellent.
Two excellent serieses. Zerg dominate this day.
EDIT: Also, has anyone noticed how each race seemed to have a day of domination? First it was IdrA and Fenix winning, then it was Nony and JF and now Ret and Mondragon. It`s really funny. XD
EDIT 2: Woops, I forgot IdrA and Fenix did not play on the same day. o.O Oh, well...

very good games, very entertain.
that's for the show teamliquid.

awesome tsl not gonna lie

And Nony beat Tarson while Draco got smashed by SEn.
EDIT: Er. Whoops. You led me astray!

Nice games from all players, espeically the first zvz
|
Woah, Mondragons defiler control was just insane.
And that first game of ret vs castro, best. ZvZ. Ever. Can't wait for next weeks games!
|
sucks for castro and bratok, the 2 players I wanted
|
Awesome awesome games, commentating and obsing today! Congrats to the winners.
|
Ya, Day9 and Chill are great together.
|
Ret won! Yay! Mondragon too! Yay!
|
yeah, i must say that day9 & chill > artless , maybe that's got to do with them commentating at 4 am, but still .. :-) and awesome games today, cant wait for the next series! gg! <3 TL.NET
|
If fenix doesnt stop mondi in the early game or make some serious damage he is gonna be dead. Mondi late game was awsome. Ret vs sen would be an awesome zvz I think ret should take it
|
sen will crush ret
and mondi....AWESOME <3
|
Mondragon have incredible lategame micro with defilers. If he can improve his macro, he will be the best.
|
to me it seems mondragon willingly sacrifices perfect macro for being able to be focused on key points and battles in a match, so this " If he can improve his macro, he will be the best." is not possible i think, its a trade-off in his case imo
|
Great series between Mondi and Brat. Good stuff with the commentary too guys.

Well it's a fact that his mechanics aren't too good(low apm), so if he got his apm up to like ~350, he would be able to focus on the micro while macroing like he should, so I don't think that's an intelligent thing to say. Someone like JD can macro really well while having even better defilers.
|
Ah Mondi made such awesome comebacks with defilers!
He shouldn't have two-hatched in 3rd game, he always says he cant do damage with mutas himself :D :D :D
