Do not whine about how imba terran is. Light might just be the best tvz player around and what he did today was a pretty much perfect game. Effort never was the favorite to win against him, probably even JD isn't. in the past half year Light has an over 90 % win ratio against zerg

The Guardians were very effective. It was just an effing awesome game by both players and it was in no way one-sided.

Noticed how Light didn't have much anti-air? Might be a good idea to switch to mass-mutas if a terran starts to go Mech in ZvT? =D

You need a monster economy to do this, which effort didn't have

Jeez... I didn't realize how powerful Terran mech was O.O


It is when you run Ultraling (terrible units against Mech, you just need a lot of stuff to beat mech).
Lings and ultras get eaten alive by vultures, spider mines and fully upgraded tank lines. Ultraling is the worst possible combo pretty much besides Lurkers against mech.


Effort didn't play optimally but it kind of annoys me when people just quote day9's advice from over a year ago (mech play hasn't evolved at all since then, right?) and suggest that progamers have no clue what they are doing.

Hydra/Muta is a great way to battle Mech when you have a big econ advantage. Which effort never had. Per cost, fully upgraded Goliath/Tank will destroy Hydra/Muta.

Effort had to get tricky to stay in the game.

Mech play now seems to be a denial of a 3rd or 4th aggressively with marines and then transitioning into Mech off of this earlier base denial of the zerg. I'm not just mindlessly spouting idiocy. Fully upgrading ultras does nothing when the damage received is 85 and 125 respectively.

Lee Jaedong! Go go go!
Because when you left, Brood War was all spotlights and titans. Now, with the death of the big leagues, Brood War has moved to the basements and carparks. Now, Brood War is unlicensed brawls, lost teeth, and bloody fights for fistfulls of money - SirJolt

Didn't Effort go Guardians to combat the earlier marine pressure put on by Light. Specifically the denial of 9 expo and then stall/halt tank, mnm vessel push before consume is complete?
Doing it 3 times was too much granted, but the 1st time when he was parked at the natural seemed a reasonable decision.


Guardians at the natural unsupported is like never a good idea unless you're seriously destroying the terran and/or he's completely awful (Skyhigh level of TvZ).

Sure he stopped the expo, blew a few turrets and killed a few SCVs but lost like 8 to science vessels. Its not like Light was really in an awful position in the first place.

He had no gas, big reason he kept spamming zerglings and when he switched to ultralisks had no defilers.

He had enough economy to morph repeated waves of guardians. Once he had held top right and secured 9 I was expecting him to transition into something else.
