I'll be interested to see Coach Park's line-up tonight. Unless I'm missing something, it'd be in SKT's best interest to try and win 3-0 in the remaining two games and thereby secure 2nd place.

Yeah, normally I'd be okay with sending out other players for ACE, but not tonight :/ We need to get ahead while we can.
5 hydras are at sun's natural, they're targeting the gateway
Sun's also being attacked through the backdoor, hydras coming through as the mineral is mined out. sun has to put cannons all around his natural. Gateway goes down
3 sairs enter into Great's main, they starting killing an overlord
Sun still warping in cannons at his natural, don't know why he didn't put a cannon at the back mineral path when he had the chance. Now he's wasting so many minerals building cannons all over his natural
Great is on 5 hatches. Sun on three gates, he's got templar archive up, and has three HT sitting at the natural

Shuttle brought into play, they drop zealots into the main, they're attacking the spores. Hydras rush over quickly and fight with the zealots
Shuttles HT at the main mineral line, storm gets a lot of drones! Great mumbles something to himself inside the booth
Meanwhile Sun's army is wrecking a lot of hydras in the middle of the map. Lurkers are brought in and Great tries to sandwich Sun, but the storms tear apart most of his force. More hydra reinforcements arriving, Sun fighting at the bridge!
He's holding off the attack! Sun now taking his fourth
Zergling spots the protoss fourth, kills off the probe before it can warp in any more buildings.
Sun engaging once more, omg he's got so many HT, storms tearing up Hydras. Great doing his best to hold off the advance, but there's too much stuff from Sun. Storms killing a lot of lings. Sun just marching through this and tearing through everything
Sun now attacking into the natural. Zerglings attack from behind, but they are dealt with easily. Great has nothing now
Zealots enter into the main with HT, storms go off on the mineral line and decimate the drone count
Large ling-line arrives to defend the natural, but they die to archons/dragoons and storms
Great's main is now under siege. He's going to lose all his tech at this rate. Great is starting to build sunkens around his remaining three bases. Sun on four bases and is making more zealots/archons and HT
More lings arrive at Great's main but they all die rather easily
I was rooting for great, but this was a textbook PvZ by Sun (no pun intended). He kept his composure under pressure, made all the right decisions, and kept up his macro. That said, I can't help feeling great could have put up a much better game with a little better multitasking and foresight.

Great had 4 saturated bases when sun's third nexus started. The reason he won from being so behind was great failing at everything.
I don't understand. You need pretty good marine micro to be decent at TvZ, which FBH is. How come you just stand four marines and let them get taken down one by one...

Blame ACE for not letting FBH come out every time they have a match seriouly he's like one of their best players
Shuttle enters into FBH airspace, turret gets a shot off at the shuttle. Zealot dropped to draw fire. A scarab is fired, but it's stuck and turns out to be a dud, scvs get away.
tanks are brought in to defend, another scarab fired. gets like one scv.
Bisu's third is online, FBH making his third CC inside his main.
Shuttle leaves FBH's main without doing much damage. Shuttle comes back to take out two turrets.
FBH taking his second geyser. Bisu getting his stargate up
Bisu adding some gates and pumping out more goons. Shuttle still hovering around the center of the map. Bisu taking his fourth base now at 11 o'clock, far away from FBH. Best and Hyuk look on with glee
Stargates are blinking as the carriers are being summoned.
FBH looks to be on 5 factories. Goons are roaming around the map. FBH now sending out a few vultures to lay mines. 6th factory coming online now. Vultures find 11 but the ramp is blocked by pylons and a gateway
Carriers losing to goliaths. Carriers flying over FBH's third, but goilaths are hot on their tail. Carriers manage to snipe a tank but at a cost of a carrier
Bisu's fifth is up but there's no mining there at all.
A vulture denies a potential sixth base for Bisu Carriers and goons engage with the terran force. Goons are below the ramp...they get smashed by tank fire. Carriers micro'ed hard against the goliaths.
Looks like FBH is backing off, his mineral count at the main and natural are low

are u sure its nana and not your net i'm on nanas stream and its been fine the entire time
I really thought FBH could have it at the first attack on the 3rd with the carriers and goons.... The carriers should have been cornered and pummelled, but he managed to save them, and build them up Sigh... Well, gg bisu !

Yeah, but he CAN micro carriers around. Giving away goliaths when all your opponent has are carriers isn't really a smart thing to do, FBH should have won that. gg

It felt pretty sloppy from Bisu on the whole, but critical mass Carriers is a scary thing to behold at times. Fair play to him for having the balls to go Carriers I guess.

Because he keeps lucking out wins over gallant players such as FBH with sloppy but abusive play. Protoss fans can and should worship truer noble champions of PvT such as Stork.

Clearly that statement was made in the context of the present game.
"how can anyone like bisu" is a pretty generalised comment...
soO getting his spire up Peace rebuilding his hatchery at the natural. He's got a lot of lings standing by
soO entering into the natural once again, trying to take out the hatchery, instead he does a runby into the main! Mining activities in disarray. more zerglings arrive to attack the hatch at the natural. Peace cancels the hatch
soO just running his zerglings around in the main now
evo chamber going up for Peace, he knows the mutas are coming.
Spire finished. Peace losing a few drones to some lings. Peace counter-attacking! soO has a ling line at his ramp, mutas are out too. Peace withdraws his lings
spore is up at Peace's main. SoO's muta is busy chasing lings. Another spore going up for Peace.
soO's muta count looking low for now, but it's slowly building
mutas now attacking an overlord, overlord falls within seconds
Peace getting his lair now, he's got a second hatch in his main within spore defense.
Mutas now heading to Peace's main. They're attacking the exposed evo chamber. Another spore in the making, this time it'll cover the evo
soO taking his natural with his third hatchery, a lot of lings stream out of soO's main. Peace attacks by getting lings into soO's main but soO has lings for defense.
Meawhile soO manages to get a large number of lings into Peace's main, lings and drones defend, along with a sunken
ACE just humiliated themselves with three terrible, terrible games. At least we got to see one game with carriers (cheaply and cowardly used, but still something).
sunken falls but Peace holds off the attack. Peace gets his lair up and starts a spire
Lings trying to take down peace's evo! down it goes. Lings running around inside the main, Peace struggling to keep his lings alive. Pool now under attack
soO has lings and mutas inside the main. Pool falls. This is over
Lings engage each other, soO loses all his lings but still has his mutas flying around.
peace's spire about to finish. soO pumps out more lings.
Peace trying to counter attack with a few lings but they die easily. soO attacking the main again, drones are pulled. all of peace's lings are dead, now the drones are dying. spores going down, peace has mutas out but they won't do much.
the damage is already done. Peace has like 1 drone left.
Lings now attacking the lair, Mutas trying to kill the lings off scourge are made.
gg from peace

Cowardly used?We can blame FBH for moving around in the middle without point, for giving away goliaths and for lack of harass, but for god's sake, don't blame Bisu, he played to win, not to please your bitter soul.
Excellently played by Soo and exactly how I would have played the situation, though he probably could have won doing just about anything at that point.

the games were absolute shit tbh. Okay FBH's game was normal, but after a certain point rather early in the game it was almost pointless (because 9+ carriers and no damage to toss' economy and/or carrier fleet itself = insta-gg)
Oh well, congratulations are in order. With SKT's second-tier players (Soo and Sun) starting to regain their monster form, the playoffs are looking more intense than ever

No way, 1st place is reserved for us ^_^
Well, if Khan wins only one of their next 2 games and SKT T1 wins their one, Khan will drop down. Worst case scenario, KT wins at least 1 game as well and Khan drops to third. I think Khan has pretty much a guaranteed playoff spot, even if they lose their 2 games and Woongjin and CJ win all they have to play, Woongjin still won't be able to make it.

SKT is guaranteed a playoff spot due to differential, while surprisingly Khan isn't.
The worst case scenario for Khan now is losing both their games 0-3, one of them against Stars(both will end 12-9 +0) while CJ wins their two remaining games(CJ will be 12-9 with >+3 differential) and KT wins at least one game(ends at 12-9 with at least +9 differential). Based on differential Khan and Stars may have to play each other again for playoff spots.
It's implausible for Khan not to win a single set at all though. Just that win will guarantee Khan's playoff spot.
I'm absolutely sure that either Soulkey or Jaedong would have beaten Sun to shit, having such an economical lead as Great had. But well,even with 5 bases, if you don't micro and win fights, you just lose.
On March 06 2012 21:57 Nikon wrote: Stars has a penalty point. Best total diferrential they can come up with is -1 due to that.
That -1 penalty has already been considered inside the differential summation. Without the penalty Stars would be -2 now.
Oh, you're right. My bad then, these final games are going to be really tense for everyone. Just what I'd like to see ^^
Or STX and T8 will send b-teamers, and fuck every body =)
If any1's going to send B-teamers that ll be January. But even she likely won't seeing as the last games are so important. 3rd place >< 1st place is huge @.@.

Yea i agree =/
I love Bisu as much as the next fanboy, but he really played sloppy there.. Some really dubious decision-making + some sloppy micro.
His opening put him too ahead though. Unlike many people in the thread, i never felt like FBH was ever ahead. Bisu's bad decisions did sometimes bring the two of them closer together, but yea, i never felt like he (Bisu) fell behind.
Wow is that the shortest LR thread of the season ? It always saddens me to see ACE being dismantled like this, but SKT really needs those clean wins before the regular season ends.
1 penalty for Hon_sin typing "d" in his game against Barracks, and another for Flying not putting his headset on during his game against Jaedong (that one was pretty funny).
