Hogil for Hite.
Calm vs Hogil for Set 1.
|
|
Calm better win. Hogil doesnt know how to use mutas for anything aside from sniping HT.

Thread was made in a rush. If there are any errors anywhere (like links leading to the wrong place wrong map pics or something else I missed) please say so so I can fix them.
|
Is it me or has it been recently that only JD gets screwed when he 12 hatches? All other zergs come out ahead.
|
Calm has more lings
looking bad for hogil
edit: takes down lots of drones
pretty much gg

Hogil got raped so bad. That was pathetic.
|
Awful game..even for a ZvZ
|
Good to see Calm win a ZvZ as he should, hope this indicates he won't get completely raped by Jaedong in MSL. His ZvZ seems to have declined so much, from july through december of last year his ZvZ was near 70%, this year its below 50%
|

Pretty good indication of ZvZ BO heirarchy. Calm's 12hatch gave him enough of a larva advantage for the pre-spire attack.

Don't be so sure, PvP is Horang's one legit matchup and it's surprisingly good.

...I knew putting Horang2 on my anti was a bad idea.

Horang2's pretty cheesy PvP (IIRC? it was PvP and wasn't another matchup right?), and Kal is just so friggin' solid. I don't see Horang2 winning =3

13 kills for tigers reaver!
|
rofl HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE scarabs

Wooo Horang2's reaverrrr!

Horang2 raping Kal like Stork raped Best on Return of the King.

HORANG2!!!!
seriously, kal's push to get horang2's expo was dumb..he wasted so many units for one nexus and lost his whole army which gave horang 2 the advantage

Weak.
Kal and Calm almost never win on the same day lol T_T
Oh well STX still got this.
|
kal being recklessly aggressive didnt pay off
|
K.Will and Outsider so beastly.
|
rofl. Im pretty sure kal was ahead until he sacced his whole army to try to completely cripple horang2's eco. didnt work though rofl
this is why i love kal, he only loses by doing really funny shit
|
PvP elo Prior to this game Horang2 was actually #4 highest PvP elo (not sure if he'll pass kal for #3 after this), also interesting, Shuttle is now #1 PvP.

THIS IS BOGUS!
The gnome will strike again!
|
Bogus is such a gnome. I have no idea why but he reminds me of Sheis.
|
its probably the weird nose
|
Bogus is such a strange looking person. Leta probably got this since Bogus isn't a protoss
|
LETA FIGHTING!
both players at 3 expansions.
what's the 3rd anniversary for?
|
leta drops into lots of turrets at 10 oclock. breaks it. bogus attempts coutnerattack on leta's ridge near his factoryline, but is fended off/halted relatively easily. Leta moves straight into bogus's natural, but is pushed back. settles for contain at 10 oclock expo.
|
Run those dropships around those turrets.
|
Bogus expands around the bottom with his tankline at 3 oclock using the natural cliffs well. Map split rather well.
Leta makes attack on 3 oclock, breaks the contain but bogus returns with his dropships and unloads his army right on top of the army. It is takten out, but leta kills troops in the middle of the map.
|
You know what I want? I want Leta to nuke somebody.
|
Leta drops 5 oclock expo, avoids turrets. Bogus does not respond, but rather drops at 4 oclock and takes the expo there.
|
Leta loses all his dropships to turrets...
|
lol about 6 dships get destroyed by turret trap
|
And leta runs 4 dropships into turrets and they all die.
|
both players start to suicide scvs
leta's fpvod shows him with 6000/3000 resources
|
Leta suicides all his dropships through turrets at the four oclock. Units still remain at 5, effectively denying it. Bogus's troops overlooking the 3 oclock deny this as well. Leta has four running bases, including a natural almost/probably mined out and another main.
Bogus has depleting natural, a main, and two other expansions. Game looking very even. Leta constructs four startports at main of 2 oclock. Unsure if wraiths or battlecruisers, but control towers suggest BC's.
|
Map is very locked up. Leta cannot exit double bridges at the upper part of th emiddle of th emap, but Bogus cannot cross them. They are at equal bases. Leta's first battlecruiser pops out.
|
Bogus making huge attack on 10 oclock. Busts it with his numerous dropships and tank reinforcement. Leta does not even bother defending it past its static defenses, probably looking to ride his battlecruisers to victory.
They attack tanks on 3 oclock, and go for command center. It is killed. Bogus drops more tanks beside the turrets at 3 oclcok, and starts up many starports of his own.
|
Bogus putting down a bunch of starports, going for BCs as well.
|
bogusss you need bcs not wraiths
|
Why is everyone going bc in TvT. Just because MVP beat Flash with it doesn't mean everyone has to copy it.

I didn't watch this match yet so I can't comment on his game here, but he's often played games where he comes back with clutch micro and drops. To compare him to Boxer might be a stretch, but he probably is the most fun Protoss to watch right now (and not the kind of fun Backho or Rock provide).

hite needs to crank it into high leta-abuse mode. though hogil was a good choice considering they sent out kal, it just seems like if they were looking to snipe protoss they should have sent horang2.
|
Calm: Meh Kal: No! Bogus: Don't try to be cute, go BC next time. But well played. Hero: Messy hydra bust at the beginning, just messy. Kal: Could kill an expansion earlier but did everything right. It's funny to forget about the HT @ the natural only casting storm after it was attacked.

stylistically kal isnt very similar to boxer at all but i meant how every one of his PvZs are consistantly awesome.
today wasn't his best recent one but 1st off I was coming off the high of his PvP where he tried to sac his army to completely destroy horang2's eco and it didnt work but was still awesome lol
2nd off he did the same build that he's done before on match point and I love it so much. he basically gets his mineral only so early with just half a control group of ground units, a reaver, and 6-8 corsairs.
maybe this game in particular didnt have anything TOO awesome, but I probably just get way too excited whenever Kal plays (especially a PvZ). right now it's basically like whenever July got to play a ZvT or ZvP back in the day when he still played PL :\
|
I really Kal a lot and he was always the 2nd best PvZer for me after Bisu back in the dragon days, but imo it's way too I don't know how to say it (his wins are many times way too close?).
I just don't think Kal's PvZ has the consistency to win a bo5 against Effort.
