Starts in a little under five and a half hours. There are tons of great games this week; I'm excited about everything but Shine vs. TT. I hope everyone likes TvZ!
---
Added: Actually, I'm excited about Shine vs. TT, too, because I want to watch TT's newbie ass get bitch-slapped back to Yellow so that he can get some revenge for that joke of a game back in Week 1.
---
Double added: Both Anytime and Midas advance regardless of tonight's result.
If FirebatHero wins, he advances along with Bisu. If Chojja wins, there's a three-way tie at 1-2.
The winner of TT vs. Shine advances along with GoodFriend.
Both Sea and Jju advance regardless of tonight's result.
If Nada wins, he advances along with Zergman. If Jy wins, there's a three-way tie at 2-1.
The winner of GGPlay vs. Iris advances along with GoRush.

If shine wins, YellOw is out !
If TT wins, YellOw gets to play for wild card.
Same thing in group F
If Iris doesn't win Cloud is out
EDIT : MY bad didn't know about the new rule 
|
|
|
I'll report the first game.
Starting on Sin PoB. Midas on bottom, Anytime on top.
|
game 1 started
Midas 7
Anytime 1
Peaks of baekdu
|
Anytime steald Midas' gas with his scouting probe.
|
|
|
Pylon killed by SCVs, refiniery being attacked by marines. Anytime is harrassing with a zealot but can't get through Midas' wall-in. Takes his nat in the meantime.
Midas is finally gathering gas.
|
Midas now takes his nat as well. He has 7-8 marines and one medic out, who chase Anytime's 3 zeals out. Not sure going m&m was his initial choice but the late gas may have convinced him.
|
Midas is now pushing out with m&m&f with stimpack. Wow Anytime is low on troops. He loses quite some probes but finally defends.
|
Anytime has a few goons out and is now taking top left.
Midas has one tank out. Anytime attempts to break through with about 7-8 goons and almost succeeds, but he finally pulls back when Midas gets siege.
|
|
|
Anytime keeps harrassing and kills a tank and a few scvs before being repelled again. He now has top left.
Midas has switched to metal in the meantime.
|
Midas is taking bottom right while harrassing with a few speedvults, laying mines here and there.
Anytime puts down some canons around his top left nexus.
|
Anytime warping a secret stargate at 12.
|
Bottom right is now up for Midas. A zealot spots it and kills one scv before vultures arrive.
Midas is now moving out with a nice amount of tanks/vults.
|
Fleet beacon warping. Hidden 2 stargates carriers.
|
Dunno if Midas spotted them but he's making some goliaths. He also has a giant tank army and is trying to take the 4 expo. Anytime is taking 2.
|
|
|
Anytime tries to attack Midas' army but all his zealots get wasted in a second and he pulls back.
First carriers out. Midas has a few goliaths already.
|
come on anytime, don't let it get to late-game on this thin map =o
|
Midas has a very good sense of play in TvP, he doesn't need to scan carriers to feel they're coming =)
|
Midas is pushing towards 2. Anytime will lose his expo, still not enough carriers.
|
Anytime is trying to counter through another way. He has quite a scary ground army and 4 carriers now.
|

Midas comes to defend with his own scary army and Anytime can't do shit vs so many goliaths/tanks.

Yeah exactly
|
Anytime's carriers number is growing though and Midas might have a hard time dealing with them in the long run.
|
Anyway Midas is now tornado-pushing towards Anytime's nat and crushing everything on his way.
|
That's just too many goliaths. Anytime's nat is getting wasted.
|
Anytime is trying to counter by killing expos here and there but there are just goliaths everywhere.
GG.
|
damn Midas' macro is scary
|
midas continues to be cheater-terran #2 in TvP
|

lol anytime got waxed =/
imo the only protosses that can take anytime are pusan and bisu =/
i think stork tried and failed.. not sure

Reach CAN when he gets back from his slump

Pop, your reports are always sexy.
Thanks x2

b) Reach's macro has never impressed me.. although his micro has been fucking sexy... against midas.. i think macro is much more important than cute little zealot bombs
|
I think Anytime can beat Midas, but not at the moment, he needs to be in top shape. The map wasn't helping him either.
|
Arcadia II is now 0-8 TvZ. 
|
|
|
Game 2 starting on Arcadia 2.
FBH top left.
Chojja bottom right.
|
Chojja 12-hatches at min-only nat.
|
FBH making a very fast factory. Looks like Cloud's build against Gorush.
|
Chojja takes his gas natural.
FBH is going double starports. Ballsy. :o
|
First vult out, spotted by a ling. Chojja has one well placed sunken and it seems the vult won't be able to get through.
Not sure Chojja has something to deal with the wraiths though.
|
Two wraiths out, kill an OL. Chojja is making some spore colonies and an hydra den.
Chojja loses 4-5 drones and another OL. And his sunken now.
|
2 more drones die, and 2 vults/1 rine arrive!
Absolute sexiness.
|
Chojja has now enough hydras but lost lots of drones.
FBH keeps wraith-harrassing. Two more drones die. Chojja is rebuilding them but FBH is doing a great job.
|
FBH is now researching cloak. No sign of tech switch so far, still building wraiths.
Looks like Chojja will attempt a secret hydras counter but FBH has a bunker above his choke.
|
Hydras luckily meet 2 wraiths and kill them.
|
FBH has now switched to m&m and is making a CC in main.
Chojja is rebuilding drones while patroling with his group of speed hydras.
|
FBH *still* harrassing with wraiths though and kills another couple of drones.
Chojja now has lurker tech. FBH has a dropship.
|
FBH attempts to drop some m&m into Chojja's main but loses everything, the dropship, the marines and almost all the wraiths.
Chojja now going for the counter. FBH is a bit low on troops.
|
Ah, too many hydras, FBH's nat gets crushed. I think he waited too long before switching to m&m. Now Chojja is in a very very good position.
|
Chojja going for a massive hydras/lurks drop.
|
Wraiths are cute, but it looks like fbh is not macroing enough now.
|
GG, FBH can't do shit.
His harrassing was kinda boxerish but then he got cocky and teched to vessels while expanding, therefore not having any army to deal with Chojja's counter.
|
|
|
This also shows how good Chojja is at recovering. He showed it during his WCG game vs Stork and now once again.
Although well, with 3 bases vs 1, losing some drones is not that huge of a deal. So he probably never was really really behind, but handled the situation very well and didn't panick.
|
another terran bits the dust
|
jihyun > chojja > firebathero > jihyun
nice ^^
|
God that was sad. Another huge meltdown in a big match.

a) Casy is cursed -> instant top 3

c) midas rapes him in convincing fashion (top 2)

Map Arkanoid. TT @ bottom right is 2 gate zealots rushing through the wrong way and Shine[Name] (@ top right) is I think fast-expanding.

TT uses a pylon/probe trick to find Shine. He now has some goons as well and will soon get into Shine's base and rape the fuck out of him.
|
I LOVE ARKANOID! this map produces the greatest games and strats.
|
Ah Shine has 2 bunkers and mass scvs and defends. TT keeps the pressure up.
|
Osaka27168 Posts
Ever started with two gate z's, and then teched to goons while smashing out the middle of the map. Shine expoed, and then blocked his choke with a couple bunkers, but only had one factory, and eEver had like 7 goons.
|
Osaka27168 Posts
sorry didnt see you pop... needed to refresh
|
TT attempts to go past the bunkers but cannot due to SCVs blocking the way.
TT pulls back.
|
haha this map fucking rules!
|
np Mani
Anyway exciting game. That map is indeed awesome.
|
TT is warping a pylong right in front of Shine's choke. And going reavers. He has one of his nat up.
|
Shine has 2 dships out but one of them is caught by goons and Shine pulls back with the other.

I'm not a big fan of Anytime and i agree with you on the fact that Midas would have a positive ratio against him. Hell, it's the case with almost every toss around! But i wouldn't be surprised to see Anytime winning against him in a bo3 or bo5 from time to time. The guy can come up with great strategy and great execution.
And i don't agree with the "Casy> Anytime" part. Casy isn't that good at tvp
|
Shine's taking his second nat.
Shuttle dropping reaver right as the CC finishes, but pulls back after a little while. TT attempts another drop at 1 but loses the shuttle with the reaver inside to range gols.
|
nvm ~chut~ said it already
|
Shine now has 5 dropships and a better economy.
He could pretty much win by dropping TT right now.
|
And that's what he does. TT's nat is dead.
TT is secretly going carriers but that won't do it.
|
Just like vs GoodFriend, TT has a very nice opening but doesn't deal enough damage with it (Shine defended perfectly though), and then gets raped after a few minutes.
|
TT is now suiciding his last goons while trying to macro 2 carriers vs 16ish gols.
|
|
|
Ouch! Shine was caught completly pants off by TTs strat in the beginning, but still won. Would be a shame if Arkanoid was T>>P.
|
|
|
Alright I'm out, someone report the next games please.

that was rape
btw 3/3

Versus FBH where he went like 50 kill Reaver which worked but would've very likely lose cause otherwise his eco would've been so much weaker, FBH went like triple CC or something.

|
yeah FBH got really fucking greedy going for 3-cc before metal and lost (tho bisu was very good).
Midas Sea abused the map really well and raped the fuck out of Rock (who is a good player btw)
TT showed vs Yellow that he's a 2nd-rate progamer, getting an insurmountable lead, then trying sooo hard to throw the game away (tho somehow not managing to and still winning). I'm not suprised he lost this game.
as for balance... we'll see, tho i reckon it will turn out T > P badly and the others balanced.
edit:
I think the apparent balance difference for this map is because terran and zerg can make hatch/cc first (out of position) then lift into place later (T) or gather gas from it and use lings to clear for 3rd hatch to go in the right place after (Z) while toss has to kill all the doodads FIRST or it's not worth making the nexus.
note: only an apparent difference atm.

it was jju harrassing seas expo with mutas and lings
jju played low eco and had no success and gg'ed losing a lot of mutas
|
|
|
jju went 2 hatch mutaling and went all in for 10 minutes, while sea did 2 rax acad cc build and was struggling to hold off for a while but once he did jju had no economy and just gg'ed

3/4 keke 4/4
|
JJu took his nat (Sea aswell) and went do or die.
He took 3 tries and it was very close, but when Sea had ~6 rax JJu just gged altough Sea never attacked.
|
Jju met a huge setback when three of the lurkers he had morphing way off on the side of the map were somehow seen and killed by a group of M&M. Those three lurks could've made all the difference in Jju's first brutal attack, but now we'll never know for sure.
|
ZvT is too easy, JJu didnt practice
|
unlucky JJu...
BWAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
come on nada...
|
someone makes a live report for Jy vs NaDa, please ? ^_______^_^__^__^^_______^_^
|
some one report pleaseT_T
|
???
TL.net died or something?
|
we just ran out of willing reporters it seems =/
|
jy at 2, nada at 5. Nada going supply before barracks, I think.
|
First rax up for nada, another on the way. Nada taking his gas.
|
jy takes his nat and starts morphing a spawning pool.
|
|
|
np, but I'm not great at this.

Yeah thanks, keep it up
|
looks like fast drop from nada hiding his starport under his fact
|
Nada builds a fac, but promptly lifts it! He's going for starports. jy morphing lair.
|
jy started spire and dropship is out
|
jy thinks 3 rax and starts building lots of sunkens then drop comes, tryin to build sunkens in his main but is too slow
|
nice reps StoryTeller and Prawn88, keep them up!
|
|
|
wow that was fast, drops by terrans in ZvT are so fucking rare these days with all the FE they do
|
|
|
|
|
jy smells something and starts morphing sunkens like crazy but they're all at his nat! drop ship ferries three loads of M&F&M into jy's main! They're ripping everything apart! jy's spire goes down! jy ggs.
|
lol, nice and quick game from Nada
|
3/5
thought protoss could beat these terrans...
|
The threat still stays:
"This one starts to get complicated. If Light beats Zergman, and NaDa beats Jy, then there is a three way tie for 2nd and the world will collapse."
Mani describing the situation in this group.
Edit: Oops, I forgot Zergman > Light already ...
Then the world is saved.
|
what about ggplay vs iris? is it started?
|
ggplay with an impressive 8/10 for his last 10 games, and iris only 5/10
|
Haha cool, I was rooting for NaDa to win ^^
|
ggplay at 11, iris at 1, map is arkanoid
|
|
|
Someone else will have to report this one. My fiance is coming home soon and we're heading to dinner =)
|
both expanding without killing the neutral zerg buildings
|
ggplay 3 hatch before pool, and scouts iris' cc, iris doesnt know ggplays position
|
looks like metal or wraiths for iris as he lifts his rax and begins scouting also killing the zerg buildings with a couple of marines, starts some factories and armoury
ggplay has expanded again and is teching spire with very many drones cos of his 3 hatch before pool build
|
ggplay also gets a hydra den once his mutas hatch and researched drop for his ol to take more expansions
iris making 2 ports now, and is safe from muta with turrets/goliaths and a bunker
|
just got back from school, any channels?
|
ggplay taking another 2 expansions at 7 main and one of its naturals
iris taking his 2nd natural aswell and getting some tanks expecting some lurkers or hydras
mutas come and delay 2nd expo for a bit until the goliaths chase them away
|
Iris takes the expos at 7 and 8. He will be soon up to 5 geyseres. Iris will have to do sth soon, or he will lose.
|
omg GGplay mass expands around map like crazy
|
iris has some valks and ggplay trying to get the 2nd natural again but golaiths are waiting
no major offensives so far. both just building up and expanding
|
wtf, crazy mass macro from both, this is gonna be pwnage if none of them makes serious mistakes early on
|
like 10 scourges into one valk
ggplay has whole left side of map 6 geysers and hive tech coming with double evo upgrade
about 3 groups of muta aswell
|
ggplay now takign the expansions at 5 and pretty much has the whole map besides iris' base
|
I dont see Iris winning this. Its Iris' 3 bases versus GGplays 7!!!
|
iris moving out with a not so big army, i thought he woudl hav more and destroying some buildings in middle of map
drop from ggplay on iris natural, pure zergligns killing all the turrets and forcing a lift
|
What a rape! GGplay wins the first clash easily has has this game already won.
|
they engage, ggplay kills valks with scourge and proceeds to rape the tanks and goliaths with mass mutalisks
|
Osaka27168 Posts
wow what crazy rape. GG's mini map is a ring of green with a tiny gemstone of red.
|
ggplay making ultras now, he suicides all his mutas at iris base to valks/golaiths but iris has no army and ggplay can rebuild army fast
|
|
|
MASS mutaliks now mass ultralisk
|
pure ultra drop on iris natural and ggplay freeing up some building in middle aswell
comes in from front and iris gg
|
Osaka27168 Posts
|
lol around 15-20 ultralisk and more coming and iris GGs
|
wow amazing play by ggplay
finally a zerg who plays it the right way vs turtling terran on this map

And I am dying in liquibet. It's making me mad that the players I am telling to win aren't. The nerve of these assholes.

LOL...I was about ready to give up on the season with my horrible results earlier on. Now I just skipped over almost 100 ranks with my 6/6. Most of the picks were easy too. lol
