The dirty cheesy zerg got right what he deserved. Such clean play i havent seen in long time from no other protoss player. That dude has real protoss blood in his veins, His play is so spirited, reminds me of Jangbi a bit. Thats how a protoss should look like, smashing zerg army emanating strong warrior spirit. | ||

Regardless, well played by Shuttle. He was the deserving player here. | ||

I anticipated that this series would be very interesting and both players did not disappoint! I am almost sad for Action, he did great. But then again, zergs should lose whenever possible, even when they're cool :D | ||

On a meta level, Sylphid's closed mid makes a 2-base zeal/arch/temp push really difficult to fight. Action should have anticipated something like this. Instead it looks like his game sense was off. Very well done by Shuttle. Looking forward to Flash vs Mini and the Ro4! | ||

lesson learned the hard way. with action out, i think effort vs flash is the only worthy finals. anything else will be a huge disappointment draw wise. | ||

Or they can at the very least make the upgrades take longer. There's too short of a timing window for protoss to be able to scout them in time when speedlings deny probe and zealot scouting. | ||

I didn't see anything in this series that made it look like Action had an advantage in late game tbh.

His plan was to use the proxy hatch to make just 3-4 hydras to scare Shuttle into making mass cannons while he continued to drone at home which he did and take his mineral base. If Action was going for a bust he wouldn't have that many drones at his nat. Shuttle eventually figured that out and even canceled one of his cannons. Action was actually doing ok until he lost like 9 drones to a DT. I thought that Action figured Shuttle had read him when he saw all those larva building nothing in the main. That cancelled cannon was actually a forge that Shuttle wanted to place in another location. | ||

Action was actually doing ok until he lost like 9 drones to a DT. But then why would he proxy the hatchery? He's guaranteed to lose the hatch if he doesn't immediately end the game. There's no way you wouldn't take your own mineral only or the 3 o'clock base instead if you were planning on going to mid-game. Also Action's overlord could see everything, including the fact that Shuttle only had 1 cannon, and was wide open for the bust. Even if he wanted to just make 4 hydras, if he had waited and gone in with them together, they would have taken out the cannon and caused a lot more trouble for shuttle, combined with the lings. I can't see how the hydra reveal wasn't a mistake. | ||

I can't see how the hydra reveal wasn't a mistake. Both dont make sense to me. Like you said, proxying it there meant it likely wasnt a fake. But why even move the hydra to the front of Shuttle’s base at all if you dont plan on showing it. Even a random probe or zealot moving out could reveal your hydra. Just leave it at the proxy hatch until you have the amount you need. Action was my pick for dark horse but I agree he was the lesser player this series. GG | ||

GG I think it was a move to show Shuttle that there is indeed a proxy hatch and he should build a billion cannons. Action didn't even build any hydras in his main or nat. I think if he was serious about the hydra all-in in the beginning he would have at least build a few hydras there. | ||
