[SSL] Grand Finals - Page 37

» hero likes to play macro style, if it turns into a normal game.. it will be disadvantageous for him, hero needs to play aggressive these series
» ssak's late mechanic, his strengths are latent in in late mech... enjoys doing that strat
» in a normal management game... hero would do a 3 hatch play or will he do a 2 hatch play.
the REASON why ssak goes for a 14cc
because ssak expects him to play passive
» doesn't even need to scout the zerg
» and look, a 3hatch
observing is done by Larva atm
» both players are aiming for a macro game, based on both player's skills.. the advantage goes to Ssak
entertaining part about this, if terran goes late scout.. should bunker for safety, but Ssak doesn't care
» really greedy play
» engineering bay/academy going up, even though it's a 3rd place match there is a prize difference so they will try hard
» the weakness to this kind of terran play.. I think is speedlings or lurkers (carrier) going mutalisks normally seems too hard for zerg
ahhhhhhhh this is huge
» ohhhhh still making drones? not making lurkers even?
» this scout is crucial
» ssak adding more barracks, he seems very relaxed, with a nice scout what he needs to be careful about is muta harass but that is within in gameplan
» since he did a 14cc, instead of investing in tech... he wants to pressure with those added barracks, saying I will deny your 3rd gas
» hero can't do this with only mutas, he need zerglings also
» this is important for Hero, nice control
» ZERGLINGS SURROUND?
» but there are so many marines
» are they upgraded marines?
» yes they are
» this is hero's mistake
» this is Ssak's master plan, when reinforcements arrive... hero will be powerless
» too long for defilers, too late for lurkers
» Ahhhh mutalisk control
» BREAK?
» AHHHHH NATURAL BEING BROKEN
» this is Hero's weakness
» GEEEEEGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

» Ssak yellow terran 11 o clock
» this felt like a warmup game from him, it was a safe game and he's just enjoying it, chewing his gum
» 7 o clock red zerg, Hero needs add something new
» macro style problems have this problem
» even with the macro lead, they'll feel like they're behind
» good overlord scout this game, he can respond to terran this time
» ohhh fast pool
» if this was in 1st set.. it would've been different but as you can see, this is Ssak's response
» Ssak's reading him like a book
» this is like, totally like the... starcraft cheat code, black sheep wall (reveals the map)
» even if ssak made a fast rax
» the marines can block with scvs at the ramp
» the early pool yielded no results
» right now he needs to try something, maybe adding more zerglings
» maybe do a speedling 3 hatch play, terran needs to expand anyway
» scvs checking out 9 o clock too
» hero doesn't want to do any ling play atm
» Ssak scouted drones popping out, he looks around and say.. 'oh nothing much here
» this is worse than 12h play, if hero did 12h this game hero would be slightly ahead, those early ling investments have done nothing
» zerglings trying to backstab but
» nothing, those became wasted zerglings
» ssak wow, he can predict everything
» zerg is so poor, if zerg doesn't do big dmg during lair tech it will be too tough to continue
» if those 1st group of marines were outside it would've been easy to take out but he pulled out nicely
» these mutas need to do a lot of catchup
» ohhhhh hero going in
» ssak needs to fight in turret range, defended
» if hero wants to lurker transition and 3rd
» he needs to keep those mutas healthy
» oh this micro
» good battle for hero
» bought time one more time
» when 3 gas comes up and lurkers, hero has another timing to attack
» hero needs to show that he can play aggressive
» then he can take control of this match
» ssak is afraid at the moment, can't go outside
» this is a chance
» there is no lurker
» HERO
» GO
» HE CAN FIGHT BUT Why are you holding back
» what Ssak needs is 1 dropship
» ahh science vessel!
» NICE VESSEL SNIPE
» Ssak is rushing tho
» what are those 12 o clock army doing
» backstab?!
» HE HAS A LOT OF LURKERS
» WOWOW NICE PINCER
» Hero made a nice amount of units
» Hero's 3 gas is key atm
» that opens up 4th gas
» right now Ssak lifting CC to 12 o clock...
» defiler is so fast, late mech won't be done
» more vessel snipes
» armies, defiler has arrived
» going all up
» Hero got his confidence back
» getting pushed into his natural
» Hero should play safe, and just deny Ssak's 3rd
» Hero is thinking he got the game
» pushing in
» GEEEEEEEEGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
