this has to be so demoralizing for fenix


Seriously. He was triple Mondragon's supply for over 10 minutes and couldn't make any progress at finishing the game off.


Yeah, every time I'm in a really comfortable spot and just sit around waiting to win I feel so crappy.

Oh wait, no I don't. You people are crazy.



Yeah. He didnt do any very agressive moves. After he killed mondi's 3rd, he figured he could just starve him

is this really true? i mean i think it's more of ret's style and preference. korean zvzs are progamer level and semi-pro/amateur are filled with zergling aggressions all the time. i don't agree that korean zergs all play the way ret does.

When you watch Korean progamers, I've never seen such aggressive Zergling attacks from any Korean progamer. They never remove Drones from gas, and once the Spire finishes, it's all Mutalisks from there. You might see a lot of Zerglings when they do 12 pool or 12 hatch, but it's different.

Sen had speed. Ret didn't. That's a pretty big difference.



Yeah, i noticed that too. Weird chill/day9 didnt see that. And even more weird that Ret didnt finish it in time. Whats the point in having 20 lings vs 20 lings if one group doesnt have speed... You "cant" win anyway

You don't need speed if you're being defensive.


JD did it vs Savior in WL finals, you can do it when the ovie leaves your main after he sees the spire. Also heavy speedling is standard when both players 12hat infact if you check a lot of games on python they end up mostly to be ling vs ling battles and most 12hat vs 12hat are pure ling into muta, you dont build drones. Also effort played the same style as sen last season which became really popular, except he built spores after the ling harass.

But you see, that's map conducive. ret's been in Korea for the past 3 months playing Fighting Spirit, Neo Moon Glaive, and Heartbreak Ridge. Those maps have certain styles associated with them. Effort's play last season was on the relatively same maps that are used in the TSL (Desti, Outsider, Andro), which are certainly conducive to ling play (well, not Desti and not Outsider to a certain extent). Anyway, the point that I'm trying to make here is that on the maps that ret's playing on, there's a certain play style associated with them that ret has just no practice with because hasn't had too much time with.


hmm,
I think 12hat vs 12hat pure ling is standard on any map, can you find me a recent game with 12hat vs 12hat without pure ling to muta, I am just curious, I thought it was the standard style and I see no reason to change that except on maybe desti where the brides are easy to defend.

Err see below. Korean Progamers inevitably switch to Mutas once the Spire is done. Sen foregos Mutas in favor of lings.

Err, heavy ling play is really nice on Moon and is more standard.

If you want progame examples then effort vs hyuk and jd vs roro.

I think I probably wasn't clear in my post since I just started rambling after a point. I'm not disputing that there's heavy ling play, I'm disputing the foregoing of Mutalisks in favor of Lings. Sen cut Drones from gas and completely skipped Mutalisks in favor of lings. ret would have been fine Sen not done that. ret also made serious mistakes in not pumping enough lings and in positioning, but still, his ling count was solid enough to hold off a "normal" amount of lings.

Then again, I am completely oversimplifying things so, so much, but whatever.
It is impossible to be a citizen if you don't make an effort to understand the most basic activities of your government. It is very difficult to thrive in an increasingly competitive world if you're a nation of doods.

Actually he's right.
There is no way you should have 1k/1k with 2 bases - which he had at sometime. (only talking about the forth game ofc.)

Even tho fenix did a great job on riding his advantage to victory I didn't liked his vessel play nor his lack of firebats. When you have such a huge advantage you should definitely make more firebats to deny the swarm use. But overall great macro and play by fenix anyway.


looool

ok

please show me your ability to macro perfectly while holding off absolutely insane odds with godlike defiler control

and it boggles my mind that the official observer can KNOW HE IS CAUSING LAG IN THE GAME from his updating antivirus and NOT leave

wtf - the observer lag was when the game was played? that's a huge penalty for micro-intensive mutalisks

No, I understand that his attention need to be focused on his micro just to survive and that mondi isn't the cleanest player as far as multitask, but it would have been ideal.

yea right, because I play in the Ro8 of TSL and therefore i should be able to do what these players should be able to do (or not). What a stupid comment.

And still, even tho he had godlike micro and really focused on it it's still NOT good macro from mondragon when he has 1k/1k.
