What exactly is the super ace format?
I can't find any information on it with the search function either (except that a lot of people complained about it).

That last game really restored my faith in Fantasy -- I was seriously in doubt when he was sent out instead of Bisu. I love the way he faked M&M and managed to kill an expansion with it anyways.

I also liked the way Effort sent out some scourge, seemingly in anticipation of vikings or wraiths, only to be completely denied. Fantasy was really on top of it with his build.

Also, I just noticed, every protoss player won their match so far except Movie.

You now realize that Protoss has won every PvZ in this series so far.

I think Canata has won only 1 game this entire year. I think he's going to be on bench for most of the play-offs.

Snow, Movie, Best, and Bisu are better than Hyuk, Hydra, Soo, and s2. The only strong Zerg on either team is Effort, and he hasn't been paired with a Protoss so far.

You don't need a drone in your opponents base to offensive nydus. Effort built it at his nat and placed the exit in Hyuk's main as soon as he got vision with his mutas.

It wasn't fake mnm - Fantasy had stim researched (but not range). I think the handful of mnm was there to give a mech build early mobility and power - a handful of goliaths are very weak and vulnerable during the early moments of a mech build, but even a small group of mnm is still pretty strong when they have a choke/wall, and pretty mobile.

Ordinarily mech can't punish early expansions by zerg, - but this bunch 'o mnm (with stim)->goliath COULD. In this particular game Fantasy shut down quite a few of Effort's attempts at getting a third while he built up his goliath numbers.

To be honest, I expect to see this build much more often from the SKT terrans, and even other team's terrans (if they realize the implications of the build) on mech-friendly maps because by trading off a little buildup speed on the mech army, your early game is that much more powerful.


Indeed. Well Bisu is as strong as ever, despite the doubters, and Best has been making the game flow to his preferences. And Snow's been looking super impressive rolling over his hapless, non-flanking zerg victims.

didn't Mong try this against JD in some league to get ripped apart by 2 hatch muta?

I think he was just getting valkyries to survive the mutalisks lol....which didn't really work out since they just got scourged.

Actually, that 2nd match between Mong and Jaedong was closer than it seemed. If Mong kept those two valks alive (as in actually microing them considering there was a full control group of MnM supporting those two valks) when he was pushing toward Jaedong's 9 o'clock, the game would have been very different indeed. Jaedong did not have enough group force to fight against MnM.
