I'm amazed at people critisizing Ra for loosing to lings or playing too risky. Even building _one_ cannon he does not need means he is behind. He looses to lings not because he does not fear linngs, but because he has to be ready for the million other things that Savior will throw at him.

Even a newb like me understands this concept.

etc...


anyway, i said that cos he's lost to not making enough cannons at his choke before...
eg...

vs Yellow on R-Point - lost to mass lings
vs Savior on Arcadia (last MSL final) lost to about 6-7 early hydra

that's all i can remember off the top of my head but i know there are others.

i'm just dissapointed that after all the effort to get there he takes such a pointless and unnecessary risk when he's already got a good econ advantage considering his opponent pooled-first and made 6+ lings.

At least this serie showed beating SAvior PvZ is doable. If Ra had cheesed 1 game and went sair/reaver on game 3 ( which he does so well btw ) he could've take the win. Too bad he seemed a bit uninspired after the first game.

Reach plays more with army. I mean rA does lots of drops, harassing. But he doesnt kill enough: mostly hatches and army stays cuz he sends only group of his army just to weak zerg's economy and often he only kills some drones, while zerg kills this part of army and hatchery stays. When Reach was attacking he was going out with whole army killing exp after exp, not wasting his zealots etc but then his exp were receptive for sAviOr harass, drops. Same goes for ZeuS. Maybe its not art like rA with reavers, d-web, storms etc but I believe it would be more effective against sAviOr. What do you think ?

It was not a mistake. Like the commentators were saying all along....

Nal_rA was surprised at the fast spawn + gas, so he built two cannons. However, with his probe, he did not see zerglings being produced, and expansions instead. Thus, the canceling of the cannon came into play. Seconds later, Savior mistakenly showed all his zerglings. Nal_rA was surprised and quickly built 2 more cannons, but it was too late.

If Savior had killed off the scout probe earlier, then it would have been an even MORE crushing defeat for rA.

If you see 9 pool gas you make 2 cannons, I don't care if you see more than 6 lings being produced or not (how are you going to tell anyway, those eggs could be drones or lings).

Disappointed rA lost t.t

It is pointless to discuss who would beat Savior. Ra is the player with the highest win ratio vs zerg. And Reach was also raped by Savior in msl. As we all have seen, the games were very close with much LUCK involved. It is just one mistake with protoss and you are doomed, just like Ra was in game two and three. With zerg in zvp you can make some errors and it is not instant loss like the same error with protoss.

Pvz is very hard for protoss. There is no need to refer on subject. With some luck Ra could have won it. He made two errors in two games and he lost the game right there. Maybe Ra should have tryed hardcore zeal rush like Kingdom. But who are we to judge. He did what he thought was the best. But we shouldn`t nor I am trying to discredit Savior. He is one scary monster. Awesome zerg with great micro/macro and strategy. I love him. Savior deserved to take this home.

well also savior basically played without mistakes

except in game 1 with the pathing, but he's always 1 step ahead of what the toss is thinking

i don't really agree that rA is just a harasser b/c he's played many pvz where he focuses on center fights and does well

it's just that savior is hard to beat zvp cuz he throws so many things at you and he forces you into having no options

Savior is just too strong at moment. Sad to see rA loss to him again.
Reach loss to him 1-3 in MSL final
rA loss to him 1-3 in last MSL final
rA loss to him 1-3 in MSL semi final now

There are just no toss can really challenge him. Maybe no terraner as well. As far as I can remeber there is no toss player can win a Final vs Z nowadays. Garimto and Grrr won once long long time ago.
Terraner wins almost always in Final against Zerg and Toss win always again Terraner in Final. I am not 100% sure, please correct me if I am wrong.

This is so fucking gay. It seems like Ra played almost perfectly the first game and only managed to win by elimination race....then he plays mortal and gets promptly owned. There's just to many ways to lose in PvZ against a player of Savior's caliber... too difficult >.<
But Garimto was always more than just a Protoss...

No, no.

He did NOT refuse the third cannon. The commentators were curious to what happened as well. And while the probe was scouting, the 2nd cannon was 95% done. And he cancels when he doesn't see many zerglings. But SECONDS later, he sees a large force of lings, and he IMMEDIATELY rebuilds the 2nd cannon. And another probe is lined up below the nexus, ready to build a 3rd cannon... waiting waiting... It took several more seconds for the 3rd one to be built....

Nal_rA is not stupid. SURE, he saw that a 9-pool was being built. But, he also saw TWO simultaneous expansions going down. So, he deduced that money was NOT being spent on zerglings.

Oh, savior took both his expos at once? Serves me right for not paying attention early game ^_^

I'm not sayin' this would have been an autowin, I'm just saying this semi shows the skill gap isn't huge as many ppl think. Ra has what it takes to defeat Savior.
