Afreeca keeps taking down every new stream. I realized my stream was buffery, but I couldn't switch cause I couldn't find a stream to switch to.
|
A buffer heavy stream is better than no stream at all. Thanks Roffles!
|
hopefully the stream will clear up in time for Calm's games

Anyways, from what I gathered, Firefist opened with 3 hatch lurkers, but Skyhigh found out and defended. Now Firefist has 3 oclock and is trying to hold it as Skyhigh's tanks and mnm army is pounding on stuff under swarm.

Skyhigh doesn't care about swarm and marches on into 3 o'clock and takes it down. However, Firefist did clear the 4 tanks chillin outside 3 oclock. Firefist just GGs as his 12 oclock is under peril.

Spotting that Hydra Den was good stuff, yay SkyHigh!
|
Thanks for streaming. Sucks that there's no MBCgame direct. I hope Anytime tears some ass tonight.

Gogo, Calm and Firefist fighting!
|
calm at bottom left
anytime at bottom right
fighting spirit
|
|
|
Calm should have this. Hopefully he won't do anything stupid.
|
|
|
Standard play from both players. Calm taking his nat and the top left nat, while Anytime forge expands.
|
A single early zealot moves out for Anytime and harasses the top left nat, forcing the 2 drones mining there to move away for a moment.
|
|
|
2 star from anytime, Calm sees it i think
|
2 stargates for Anytime! Citadel also being built.
Calm getting up his spire, 4th and 5th hatches, and hydra den now.
|
calm catches a sair with his scourge
|
Careless corsair flies right into 2 scourge and gets taken out; other corsair dances away.
|
looks like anytime is going for sair dt
|
Lone high templar wandering more than half way across the map?
|
random ht wandering around the middle of the map
calm going to win this ez
|
anytime runs a high templar into the middle of the map, barely saves it but it doesnt matter, Calm hits the timing and kills anytime before storm is finished
|
Hydra break coming! HT down for Anytime, cannons and zealost all dead!
He's screwed now.
|
storm not done hydras rape
anytime gg's
yawn
|

Pitcairn19291 Posts
I'm raging. Anytime loses to Hydras as his storm research is late.
|
|
|
gg anytime
|
yay calm 
|
Calm did a standard 3hat spire-->5 hat hydra timing attack and Anytime just didn't have anything at all to defend, so Calm just walked over him. Not an impressive performance at all from Anytime.

1.plu.cn is more or less working, very laggy for me.

I'll LR off what I see:
SH bottom left in green, Calm top right in Yellow.
Early rax for Skyhigh, 12 Hatch for Calm.
|
Hungary11305 Posts
SCV scouts the Hatch.
1 Rine CC for Skyhigh. Quick lair for Calm, 2 hatch muta incoming.
|
Roffles
Pitcairn19291 Posts
Solin is covering for me through Daum alternative.
|
Hungary11305 Posts
4 Lings chasing the scouting SCV around.
2 more going to SH's side. Entry denied by some Marines.
|
Oof, Calm killed a lot of marines and SCVs, Skyhigh will have mad trouble with the muta when they come.
|
Roffles' stream is back. TL streamers are like power rangers with bigger balls.
|
Hungary11305 Posts
6 ish lings going against 5 marines. Calm hatching many more Zerglings.
SH loses all but 2 Marines.
|
Hungary11305 Posts
Calm rallying a BUNCH of Zerglings over. SH tgetting a bunker up, but just barely.
Next batch of Lings does runby, like 7 lings in SH's main.
|
tuned in just to see gg ~.^
|
Hungary11305 Posts
Marines being picked up before entering the bunker. Spire about to finish. Lots of SCVs die. Looks like SH cannot hold.
2 Bats finally out, might be able to finish the lings. BUt he cannot defend the mutas.

Lings still cycling the base. Now Rines start producing. First 4 Mutas on the way.
SH might barely have like 10-15 SCVs.
Mutas begin harassing. SCVs die and SH going for the counter with his infantry.
|
From what I saw, Skyhigh was really far behind from the ling runbys. I didn't see the GG but since it's on commercials now there must have been one.
|

Loser's match started on MP.
Anytime upper right, Firefist lower left.
|
Calm opens with overpool, anytime with forge expand.
|
Roffles
Pitcairn19291 Posts
Anytime with a pretty early scout, plops down a forge at home and is denying FF's expo pretty well.
|
Oh man that's annoying. Probe harass delays the expansion by a good 10 or 15 seconds.

Firefist adding his gas, taking upper left as well as Anytime's nexus and gate are almost done.

Did Anytime misplace his nexus or am I imagining things?

I'm not sure on that nexus. It looks slightly off though. Anyways, Stargate + Templar archives being thrown down. Gatorade Zerg getting up to 5 hatches now.

a properly placed nexus would cover that crap to the left of it

Sashin scores 2 overlord kills. Oh shit I saw a zergling burrow.
|
Roffles
Pitcairn19291 Posts
A DT is out for Anytime, 5 zergling kills on it so far. Firefist resorting to spore/sunk for detection. Nice drone drill saves his drones and kills the DT.
|
My eyes hurt just by looking at the nexus...
nothing beats RainbOws misplaced nexus on andro...that was the best...
|

Pitcairn19291 Posts
Rofl, burrowed zergling is denying anytime his third. Sairs meanwhile are just roaming the map, picking off stuff left and right. Looks like lurker tech from Firefist.
|
Roffles
Pitcairn19291 Posts
For the second time now, Anytime gets his cannon sniped as well as his probe.
|
Hahaha wow that expansion is getting mega denied.
|
Roffles
Pitcairn19291 Posts
Observer is finally out, and he finally clears the burrowed ling. Cute tricks from Firefist. Anytime now marching across the middle of the map with a pretty zeal heavy army.
|
then they will get raped by lurks...
|
Roffles
Pitcairn19291 Posts
Damn, two lurker drops from Firefist, one at the main and one at the natural of Anytime. Lurkers score quite a few probe kills, at least 8 I wanna say. Hive tech from Firefist now.
|
Roffles
Pitcairn19291 Posts
Another lurker drop from Firefist at the min only this time delays mining and shit as Anytime is now moving across the map towards the third gas only to pull back due to lurkers at the ramp.
|
Roffles
Pitcairn19291 Posts
Anytime engaging at the high ground now, but his army is small compared to Firefist's. Ton of zerglings out now.
|
Roffles
Pitcairn19291 Posts
Groups of zerglings everywhere on the minimap now. Anytime looking to take a fourth at the gas expo on the right. Firefist adding at least 3 more hatcheries and also taking 12 oclock.
|
Roffles
Pitcairn19291 Posts
Can't read the god damn upgrades cause my streamer has some watermark at the bottom, but Anytime with a ton of Goons at lower right and a ton of zealots going to attack 12 oclock and shutting that down. Firefist sending in waves of zerglings but they all die to zealots.
|
Christ, how many lings died to these zeals haha
|
this game is not very interesting but I think firefist is going to win despite it being match point
|
Roffles
Pitcairn19291 Posts
Anytime playing cannon defense at lower right now, looks to be in a decent spot 4 base to 4. Firefist with quite a few zerglings on the minimap, as well as lurkers, looking to play some defiler defense on that ramp.

firefist has 2 armor 1 melee attack, pretty sure anytime has 0 armor 3 attack

firefist going into a-move ling phase
|

Pitcairn19291 Posts
As Anytime attacks 12 oclock, waves of zerglings pour in with cracklings towards lower right. Zerglings everywhere killing shit. Nexus goes down, but anytime looking to cross counter.
|
lol Firefist doing the exactly samething as HoeJJa did when he vs Kal
|
Wow, firefist attacking with pure ling with swarm
anytime's army attacking 11 - doing pretty good damage
firefist's reinforcements trickle in
where's anytime's observer?
|
Roffles
Pitcairn19291 Posts
Huge counter from Anytime kills a ton of shit, but he retreats as Firefist's reinforcements come. True Sashin style now, DTs and other stuff taking down 6 oclock expo attempt from Firefist. Anytime looks to be 3/1 now.
|
anytime's attack on 11 cleared - dt's and army attack 6 - nydus immediately killed, hatch killed
anytime lets one of his wandering templar get sniped by cracklings, but throws a storm down before it dies.

3-1? ultras vs 1-0-3 ground ups for anytime
ultras dealing a lot of damage to 5 - half the probes run
|
Roffles
Pitcairn19291 Posts
Ultras are out for Firefist though and he's looking to attack at lower right. Anytime with the hero DTs though, ripping shit apart. Anytime trying to save with reinforcements, but Firefist has reinforcements as well.

Pitcairn19291 Posts
Lower right is temporarily cleared, but Anytime storms his own workers. Lower right in peril now, going down. Looks over for Anytime.
|
the attack is cleared - but another wave of ultraling arrives....
lurkerling also stops mining at 3...c'mon anytime, pull yourself together!
you need to pump some units...and get some income

anytime now practically not mining - ultralurker ling attacking 3 - lots of probes killed
anytime gg's
damnit

Streams of zerglings and defilers are pouring in, and Firefist is taking 12 oclock. Anytime GGs. Pretty decent game from Sashin though. =(

nevermind, that was just an awful pass.

|
my predictions are going to become real xD!!!!
|
gogogo skyhigh, beat that gatorade zerg!
|
i believe Firefist can > Skyhigh this time !!!
|
Firefist, Skyhigh: who will break through and move on to the MSL? Who will be left behind in the dust to fight in the preliminaries once again next round?
Skyhigh, the teal terran at 11
Firefist, the orange zerg at 5
|
|
|
Skyhigh showing his confidence in the matchup by building a depot first. No shenanigans from him, yet
|
Baa?21244 Posts
Firefist fighting~!
My predictions are 4/4 so far, let's go 5/5/~!
|
rax for Skyhigh, overlord for Firefist - he takes his natural at 12!
|
Firefist taking his gas, well before his pool, which just starts now
an scv dropping by for a visit!
|
The scv giving the spawning pool a massage with its fusion cutters
Skyhigh takes his nat with only one rine hanging by his choke - but the pool isn't done yet.
|
lair immediately as the pool finishes
no speed first
Skyhigh adding a 2nd rax and his own gas
|
Skyhigh's gas completes - he's slow to add his 2nd and 3rd scvs onto it
he builds a bunker at his nat for his 3 rines
but firefist has made only 4 lings it seems
Firefist adds another hatch in main, starts his spire
|
academy in progress for skyhigh
firefist takes his nat gas
his early gas should allow him to mass a few more mutas earlier
stim being researched as the academy completes, ebay starting!
|
first two medics are out
spire already complete, turrets starting for skyhigh!
|
6 mutas pop,
skyhigh with a wandering group of mnm
the mutas move to engage!
|
but the mutas move to attack the natural after 3 lings soften up the 2 turrets - mutas getting a decent number of kills with no damage
3 sunkens for firefist
skyhigh forced to move back with his troops
turret at rax killed, firefist rampaging in the main
fangirl giggles to her boyfriend!
|
skyhigh's troops arrive back at the main, firefist backs off - but he's only readying quite a few lings to join the fight soon
more muta micro at the nat - dealing tons of rine and scv kills
|
firefist so focused on his micro there's 3 mutas and more than one group of lings idle at the nat entrance
they join the fight - the bunker is crushed!
|
Skyhigh is amazingly bad at TvZ.
|
skyhigh finishes his factory - but it doesn't matter as mutaling streams into his main
gg!
|
Told ya ) haha i no my KT Zerg
|
skyhigh gg's

Pitcairn19291 Posts
Nah, Skyhigh's aight at TvZ. Firefist CLEARLY had his Gatorade today. Played that last game like a complete hero.
|
firefist all smiles as he plops himself into a chair in the waiting room and chats with what I presume to be his coach - they never show the other people in the waiting room
|
lol firefist is really good at knocking TL-loved terrans out of the msl
|
Baa?21244 Posts
|
firefist's timing might have been slightly tweaked - his gas was a tad early, and skyhigh built only a few turrets
|
Skyhigh began his career 16-7 in TvZ and has since proceeded to go 7-15. (It's not like he started playing against better Zergs, either--that 16-7 includes being 2-2 vs Jaedong, whereas the latter stat has stuff like 0-2 ggaemo.)
|
Skyhigh's play was indefensible that game. He's got all the talent in the world as evidenced by his occasional amazing showings against the biggest names (including the only straight up win against Flash since MSL), but his inability to control his aggression and make good decisions consistently is why he's once again in zero leagues.
Just absolutely indefensible decision after meeting the Mutas in the middle to go TOWARD the Zerg base instead of going home. What was he thinking? That Firefist wouldn't just make Sunkens which he had the time to do? Skyhigh basically flipped a coin and said "I'm going to go forward and hopefully distract your Mutas into following me, but if they don't they'll ravage my insufficiently defended base". But you can't go deep in leagues (or even make them apparently) by flipping coins all the time. Why not just follow the Mutas home, hold your position (not like Skyhigh cut hard to get to that point anyway) and play out a game against a mediocre Zerg on a T > Z map?
It's a decision that Flash would NEVER have made (except that time he actually did after the power outage, but I think those were special circumstances). Until Skyhigh figures this out he's going nowhere in any league, which is really sad, because he's really fun to watch when he's on.

Why is his 2-2 vs JD even impressive at all, did people even watch those games?
The games he won were a proxy 8rax bunker rush in the main designed to snipe him, the 2nd was a 5pool defence. One of the JD wins included a nasty queen humiliation.

Actually Flash was the one who brought this back into the metagame, that aggressive push vs the Muta heavy Zerg who is cutting sunks, though it works for him most of the time, it failed vs Calm in the Heartbreak ridge set.

oh boy, skyhigh got firefisted.

... I'm fully aware of what Flash brought back to the metagame.
What I'm saying is that he never would have made that decision in this SPECIFIC situation, when the cons so greatly outweigh the pros and there's a large element of chance involved.
I can't believe you'd interpret what I said as "Flash would never go forward to break Sunkens", are you serious?
|
Wrong order of bets costs me 2 points in LB.
|
Damn sKyHigh needs a humbleness cure. Sometimes it looks like he is playing like he doesn't really care if he wins or he doesn't.
|
skyhigh is so bad vs zergs.

I didn't say it was impressive. I said that an increase in the level of his Zerg opponents could not explain his recent poor performance in the matchup, unlike, say, Skyhigh's no-loss MSL+OSL prelim run, to which the poor quality of his competition greatly contributed. Apparently it's necessary to include a meticulous disclaimer every time one mentions one of his losses lest someone think that mighty Jaedong's invulnerability is being questioned.

stupid MST. Firefist went 2-1 because he had to play Anytime, while Skyhigh 1-2ed because he had to play Calm. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
