What was guemchi thinking allowing the zerg to macro up like that? ggameo's sim city in his third was not even that strong, guemchi should have pushed earlier when he had a good zealot/sair army.

Yeah, because sheep perfectly fit into a fox's predator pattern. ;P

Actually, protoss were doing quite well against zerg in the past few months, no? Anyways, glad to see ggaemo pulling through. It's obvious that he put a lot of work into this.

i don't think you can call it bad control. Looked more like "no control", a-moved into the mutas / across the map, then went away to do other stuff and got punished by Scourge 2 times.

The question is what else could he possibly have been doing? He had one gate! Is making reavers out of one robo that macro intensive?

1 gate robo expo vs 3 gate robo = build order loss for the 1 gate robo player. you lose your nexus and fall behind like that. Stork lost the BO, he fought valiantly but the macro advantage from guemchi just killed him.

:'(((((((((

I'm at the verge of tears. Stork was the kind of player who could pull off important wins even when he was not on top of his practice regime. But from reading these and previous comments it seems like he was really just not there at all today.

Interesting enough, that yesterday evening he held against the same 3 gate robo push from Tyson. Seems like he was really off today. Hope to see him back in ASL4 though, even if he focuses on streaming. I'm sure his Korean fans also want to see him do well in tourneys.

I was hoping for him to pull some "I play WoW but I still kick ass at SC" kind of magic.

I accepted it but thought that as many times before, the commander will prove the Power Rank wrong and prevail just due to sheer tactical greatness.

Well, I don't want to live in the past and only finding grace and joy in remembering older times and whether I like it or not in the present it's more like TaekLeeSsang.

Mong's always been the same. He is a very solid macro player but his early game and wittiness "suck". In the later stages of the tournament he has a disadvantage for sure.

i mean let's be real here, those protoss are definitely not good at PvZ. Free, Snow, Rain all more known for their PvT, Lazy, Purpose, Shuttle, Pusan all kind of just average, sub-par Protoss.

And they're up against EffOrt, Soulkey, hero who are amazing ZvPers. Shine and ggaemo are definitely more wildcard Zergs but Protoss have not really been respecting them as of late.

Free was known for his PvZ in his prime. In particular, he was one of the most skilled users of the lategame Protoss deathball.

Let's be real here, the only good PvZer is Bisu, who lost two latest finals to Effort and Hero, respectively. And free, Rain, Shuttle are top 5 protosses (or around), just like Hero, Soulkey and EffOrt.

Agreed. Like there's exactly one guy who's ever been as good at PvZ as Bisu and that's Bisu. And even Bisu always had trouble with hero, Shine, etc.

Rofl. They are not. You are clueless if you think free, rain, and shuttle come even close to the likes of Hero, Effort (and Soulkey).

Thank you.

On a more serious note though, I basically agree with what FlashFTW said. Stork had a pretty good PvZ but that was because he was a monster in each match up. I mean he had an even record with JD. I would also argue that Kal and Movie had decent PvZ if you compare it to their general level of play as well as to other protoss players. Wooki also showed some signs that he might get the hang of PvZ shortly before the KeSPA era was over. I'm talking about the era after the revolution of course. In the end, only Bisu really seemed to have the upper hand in the PvZ match up though.

Uhh, Free really did have one of the best PvZ. In fact he was the holder of the 4th best PvZ winrate

Notable modern players from debut up to just before the league-that-must-not-be-named

1) Bisu = 129 wins - 52 losses (71.27%) (jeezus o.o)
2) Movie = 48 wins - 35 losses (57.83%)
3) Kal = 89 wins - 73 losses (54.94%)
4) Free = 84 wins - 70 losses (54.55%)
5) Stork = 116 wins - 98 losses (54.21%)
6) JangBi = 70 wins - 64 losses (52.24%)
7) Shuttle = 20 wins - 20 losses (50.00%)
8) BeSt = 59 wins - 68 losses (46.46%)

That was so easy for Ggaemo today. But I think he gonna get shut down on ro16 because those player's won't allow him to macro as he did today.

He rarely played vs zerg in both of his OSL wins. The first he had a Bo5 against Soo... In the second he basically lucked himself past Zero. Overall he barely had a 50 % winrate in PvZ during his hey-days (the last couple of KesPA years).

How did he luck himself past zero? Go and watch that set and tell me he doesn't have ee han timing.

If you can say anything about Jangbi's PvZ it's that it's overhyped.

What makes you say that? I remember him being very got at making the exact right unit composition to crush lurker contains and recovering from hydra busts really well.


He rarely played vs zerg in both of his OSL wins. The first he had a Bo5 against Soo... In the second he basically lucked himself past Zero. Overall he barely had a 50 % winrate in PvZ during his hey-days (the last couple of KesPA years).

How did he luck himself past zero? Go and watch that set and tell me he doesn't have ee han timing.


ee han timing, lol. You might as well call it a last ditch attempt after being completely screwed. Or short: lucky.

Impressive PvP work from GuemChi to pull out the advance.

Looks like the start time for group F got shifted up to 5pm, rather than 7pm KST. Updated it in Calendar and LP

So, maybe that game wasn't a convincing win, but games 1 and 5 were dominating by Jangbi.

Uhh, Free really did have one of the best PvZ. In fact he was the holder of the 4th best PvZ winrate

Notable modern players from debut up to just before the league-that-must-not-be-named

1) Bisu = 129 wins - 52 losses (71.27%) (jeezus o.o)
2) Movie = 48 wins - 35 losses (57.83%)
3) Kal = 89 wins - 73 losses (54.94%)
4) Free = 84 wins - 70 losses (54.55%)
5) Stork = 116 wins - 98 losses (54.21%)
6) JangBi = 70 wins - 64 losses (52.24%)
7) Shuttle = 20 wins - 20 losses (50.00%)
8) BeSt = 59 wins - 68 losses (46.46%)

Poor Best, only negative winrate on the list

Lols at how that Jangbi vs Zero series made everyone forget how underwhelming he was at PvZ overall.
Goes to show that people remember endings as much as full stories . It helps that when Jangbi was on, his play looked spectacular at times. Like a super athletic player in the NBA who isn't very consistent, but when he has good games he tends to make a few plays no one else can.

With this PvZ talk, I mean, Outsiders is really zerg favored in PvZ as well, it was back in the day as well. I am really surprised to see it being used as such an important map right now.

It is kinda fun but so weird and unbalanced.

Stork just looked bad. I don't know how much of it was bad luck and build order losses but man, as a Stork fan, that was not fun to watch.

Cool to see Pusan do reasonably well though.

ggeamo did well and guemchi is solid. But meh.
nah

Everytime I see ggaemo I think of that face lol

Stork was disappointingly bad in these games. I don't know if he was just overconfident in his late-game skills or what but seemed to me that he played way too passively and let opponent cut corners to economically overcome him.

Actually, protoss were doing quite well against zerg in the past few months, no? Anyways, glad to see ggaemo pulling through. It's obvious that he put a lot of work into this.


Especially they doing great in ASL3:

Shuttle Protoss 1 0 Zerg PURPOSE
Shuttle Protoss 0 1 Zerg Soulkey
EffOrt Zerg 1 0 Protoss Snow
Shine Zerg 1 0 Protoss free
Shine Zerg 1 0 Protoss Snow
hero Zerg 1 0 Protoss Lazy
hero Zerg 1 0 Protoss Rain
GuemChi Protoss 0 1 Zerg ggaemo
ggaemo Zerg 1 0 Protoss Pusan

So, it's basically 1-9, with single win of Shuttle versus some random lucky amateur.

i mean let's be real here, those protoss are definitely not good at PvZ. Free, Snow, Rain all more known for their PvT, Lazy, Purpose, Shuttle, Pusan all kind of just average, sub-par Protoss.

And they're up against EffOrt, Soulkey, hero who are amazing ZvPers. Shine and ggaemo are definitely more wildcard Zergs but Protoss have not really been respecting them as of late.


Let's be real here, the only good PvZer is Bisu, who lost two latest finals to Effort and Hero, respectively. And free, Rain, Shuttle are top 5 protosses (or around), just like Hero, Soulkey and EffOrt.

Yes but just because youre a "top 5 protoss" doesnt mean your matchup against zerg is that much better. Plus the protoss race right now doesnt have many good players and their PvZs all suck. Like great, you can be a damn good PvP and PvT, and as long as your dodge your shitty PvZ matchup you'll be in the top 5. Being top 5 might not be entirely exclusive from a bad PvZ, but it doesnt mean you'll have a good PvZ.

as mentioned in the stat drop above by cerb, 54% is nothing to be proud of compared to the top 5 zergs who all have well over 60% ZvP.

54% is something to be proud of FFTW

People who want some comparison with older toss legends pre-337 here:

Do note that these guys played in an obviously tougher PvZ age. The Three Kings + ZeuS all started playing in an era where zergs swarmed from the qualifiers up from what I've read; they needed to be great PvZers almost by necessity.

Nal_rA = 56 wins - 47 losses (54.37%)
PuSan = 30 wins - 31 losses (49.18%)
Kingdom = 41 wins - 44 losses (48.24%)
Reach = 73 wins - 82 losses (47.10%)
Anytime = 23 wins - 25 losses (47.92%)
ZeuS = 46 wins - 56 losses (45.10%)

Garimto and IntoTheRain are too old school for stats. ^_^
And I didn't count guys like RainbOw and PvZ killer Rage

edit - nvm, got curious lol
Rage = 26 wins - 22 losses (54.17%)
DaeZang = 12 wins - 12 losses (50.00%)
RainbOw = 43 wins - 45 losses (48.86%)

edit 2 - raw stats alone won't tell the full story.

The only one on that list who was consistently good at PvZ was Nal_rA and maybe Kingdom?

That was kind of a dark era for PvZ, true, but... protoss players really didn't get PvZ at that time either. Still loved the shit out of Reach's PvZ when it worked, just hit that timing, rally all your gates and micro/macro your heart out.

But, they were not considered good PvZ players (not that anyone else aside from Nal_rA and maybe Kingdom were considered good PvZ:ers either).

Anytime was really good too. The problem with those stats is that they compare players who peaked and declined but kept playing for years to players who avoided that fate because the professional scene was brutally terminated or simply because they quit. If you go through the end of '08, Anytime won 56% of his PvZs; from that point on he won 38%.

Obviously you can do this exercise with many players to cherry-pick a slice of games where they look good, but overall I think it's more representative to look at a player in his prime than to reduce his career to a percentage. Peak ELO is probably the best way to do this, and Anytime comes in 7th for PvZ. (The only old-timer ahead of him is indeed rA, who I would agree was pretty much the best until Bisu.)

e: I just noticed that c3rberUs was cutting the stats off before the whole Bisu thing, which pretty much invalidates my entire point. Oh well. (I wish there were a "historical ELO" feature in TLPD...)

Not that ggaemo didn't deserve it, but the opponents played really bad (IamMang was blocked mentally when he saw the sim city on the 3rd, didn't went tech or expanded, and Pusan strategy and execution was bad too).

The problem is that Stork uses a standard build in almost every game. It is really easy to counter and snipe him.

stork just played awful and looked not confident at all

I honestly just dislike him as a player. Even more now than before. He is out for a reason. He looked bad imo..

Zerg are definitely showing their meta mittens these days guys. Even as a Brotoss I have to give them credit where credit is fkn due.

Protoss requires soo much technical micro in this matchup that it gets crazy really fast during the macro game. Something tells me that by the end of this tourney we may begin seeing the foundation of new strats from the likes of Bisu and company. We already know terran are in good shape, but given that soo many toss made it to the Ro24, and only 4 made it out so far... Thats saying alot yo.

yep, Stork looked bad in these games. He had great defense against GuemChi's attack on CB after he lost his nexus but the macro advantage was too big. That dark templar against Pusan killed so many units too. I figured that he'll at least do well against Pusan so the loss there was surprising.

Stork has great PvT and decent PvP in general but sucks in PvZ. It's also the main reason he made Ro8 last time. Hopefully he starts to play seriously and advance further next time!

He didn't suck back in the day though.
