What?! Great won? How....???

Great seems to have like 10 drones left and did not micro at all to protect his drones.

Best did not have more probes as great drones either, plus great was way ahead anyways. Severaly expo's, mining bases, somehow tons of hydras coming out of nowhere... while Best was bases on his 1,5 mining bases and his little army which was controlled by the Hydras of great.

Hydras cop a lot of hate because they are flexible, they are kind of the go-to unit for zergs against protoss.

But why is everyone going "lol just build hydras and win". If it's not 3hatch cheese BS, then it's nothing Protoss haven't faced before. Did protoss over-tech, or have bad storms? Did zerg get up uncontested bases?

I am hardly some pro PvZ analyst but I'm sick of people pretending like "lol hydras" is really the extent of what is going on.

If only BeSt was at 1-2 so that he could get another chance if great somehow wins against Classic to potentially get the wildcard spot... Sigh....

Wait, do you guys actually think Best played significantly better than Great? I get the whole "PvZ imba" thing, but come on, seriously?

this game feels like the players are actually playing some bizarre UMS

zerg is not allowed to issue commands to his drones and is only allowed to make hydras and overlords
protoss is only allowed to make zealots and high templars (and morph archons)

I felt like Great was just dicking around, especially with using hydras to do those moving shots instead of actually managing his bases.

The one there isn't going to be because Great is going to get dominated by Classic.

I suddenly remembered in the last MSL Best also lost 0-2 in the MST with the 2nd loss dealt by a Zerg. Except in that game the Zerg was Hoejja who played a very smart game.

Well, it's assumed that if great qualifies for the MST, he cannot participate due to going off to ACE and having to go through initial military training, so there might be a wildcard spot held in his place. Take these words with a grain of salt though.

that High Templar next to my Drone line charging his energy... I don't think he has any bad intentions.

and that Dark Templar there in my Mineral line right under my Overlord... nah he is probably a nice guy

I'm no pvz expert either, but TBH, it seems best did just about everything right to hold that, and still lost anyway.

He had canons in time for the original (fakeish)bust, he had storm for the second bigger bust, he had zealot speed, he held the mutas pretty well. He killed soooo much of great's econ with dts and storm drops.

I think the only thing he could have done better was maybe not go for that first storm drop, since that ht might have been better in his nat to defend.
