Rush Hour III Midas @3 Light @11 Midas starts out w/ 14 CC and Light immediately begins to turn on the heat w/ a 3 factory, no addon vulture rush to try to take out Midas ASAP. Unfortunately, Midas showed some cute micro and repelled the attack, killing off Light's offensive bunker THREE TIMES. Light proceeded to expand himself as he continued to put pressure on Midas w/ vultures. The game went for the long term when light positioned tanks beautifully in the center of the map and began to take the top left half. The critical battle territory was the @7 main tho. In Rush Hour TVT, its always critical who retains control of the other main. For, that player is guaranteed 1 extra gas geyser. In this match, that player turned out to be Midas. Light, of course, took the entire top left half of the map and massed on goliath+tank+vultures whereas midas, in an unexpected twist, made 30 starports and MASSED MASSED MASSED wraiths like CRAZY. Midas also had about 40 tanks floating around the center. This is an AMAZINGLY intelligent move by Midas. As the player w/ the extra main expansion, Midas is a little bit overextended, thus the wraiths are perfect for defend all the critical weak spots at all points in time. The wraith+tank combo proved to be a hell of a difficulty for Light to deal with. Light tried countless times to sweep into Midas's main natural, the @7 natural, and along the middle. Again and again, midas repelled the attacks w/ few losses. I was thinking the game was completely over, until light started to make valkyries.... ...The valkyries smashed the shit out of huge numbers of wraiths, but midas just KEPT MAKING THEM. Finally, in an epic battle, both players w/ maxxed armies clashed in the middle. It was going to be SO CLOSE, but midas seiged about 5 seconds before Light. Consequently, Midas mowed down the front line of tanks and goliaths in seconds, crippling the anti-air support light needed to battle the wraiths. Midas lost about 30 wraiths to valkyries + goliaths, but about 20000+ wraiths popped out and wiped light's army all over the middle of the map. Again, Midas had LITERALLY 30 STARPORTS pumping wraiths at the end of the game. losing 30 was nothing more than a 20 second wait for 2 new control groups. Light tried to spew goliaths from his factories in an desperate attempt to regain momentum, but the wraith numbers were just too many, and light was forced to type out. An excellent TvT, comparable to the Sea[Sheild] vs Shine[NamE] proleague match. MBC 1:1 SKT (we are guaranteed to see Canata vs July!) | ||

if he is allowed to live (ie no pressure is exerted on him) the tz combination will crush anything in the air (just like sea did last week) MBC must cripple oov and demonstrate why tz < pz on this map | ||

His ZvT is horrible, but his ZvP is strong and his ZvZ, even though it's not world-class, still wins against most pros. i have to disagree with him being underrated I honestly beleive that Mumyung i the worst pro out there. He simply cannot play the ZvT matchup at all. He has no concept of effective mid/end game transitions: he appears only to be able to win w/ all-in style strategies or before the 12 minute mark His ZvP is very good, but it lacks any finesse or depth. Mumyung has always played the exact same pure macro style REGARDLESS of the map. I literally saw no variety in his most recent bo3 ZvP matches vs Reach and Foru. And, even tho mumyung plays a macro style, he has bad macro! He's reknowned for building 1-2 more hatcheries than he could normally support because he frequently lets his larvae count run up to 3 while he is trying to control his units. As a result, he can always rebuild huge hoards of units despite the fact that he's been letting his macro slip. I don't htink i've ever seen him ZvZ tho... Maybe once or twice, and I was unimpressed DIE MUMYUNG! :D | ||
