Rain had a lot of good tactical ideas but his execution failed him against Effort's Drone drills and simcities...

Very cute try, but effort is too strong!

A nice fun game to round off this group :D

I don't understand it either, with the gas lead he should've been able to just out muta Soulkey and win

I think soulkey was more efficient getting scourge hits against mutas? I'm not 100% sure.


He was 100%, thats how he managed to reset the count, but I mean after that, when it was 2 vs 1 base, Effort should've still been able to produce more mutas, to come back faster than Soulkey who only had 1 gas to rebound, but I'm probably missing something


You mean herO, not effort

It's exactly the kind of game which makes me don't want to see any information.

I agree. It makes us think for ourselves and that is part of the fun making predictions on the back of that.

And some feedback to Rapid; one cannot tell from the evo chamber graphic that it is upgrading and also mutalisk upgrades are researched in the spire, not the evo chamber.

This is what I believe happened...

In hero's mind the only chance that he would lose would be to a ling run by killing all his drones while his small amount of mutas wouldn't be able to deal as much damage as quickly in return, so he invested allot of larva into zergling's to protect his drones. Hero probably thought this was the correct decision as Soulkey makes a 'desperate' attempt to run by into the main to snipe drones with his remaining ling force, meanwhile Soulkey is already switching back into mutas and using all his larva for it.

After 'sucessfully' defending the ling counter attack, Hero makes a few drones at his natural and starts to go back into muta production with the rest of his larva but at this point soulkey has a critical mass of mutalisks that can end the game in that precise moment.

Keep in mind Hero was ahead almost that entire game, and he was just trying to ensure that nothing would challenge that, Soulkey just played a beautiful tactical game to overcome his weaker position, getting more drone kills and sniping allot of mutalisks with scourge.

The english commentators have got to go. They are worse than listening to Rebecca Black on repeat while watching the vods without sound. God they are worthless as commentators.

First, saying to someone that he's « worthless » isn't a nice thing to say on a forum like TL. There's people behind these commentators and i'm sure you would appreciate a more constructive critics if you were in their position.

Second, You're free to watch the korean version if you want. It's not like you have no choice.

Third, You're not paying anything for that. Just relax and enjoy the game on mute if it fits your needs.
