He just spreads these stupid rumors like oh its going to be my last asl, or oh im going to play protoss from now on. Its stupid mindgames, and he needs to be called out on doing that crap, cause its not cool | ||

Chosim choked pretty hard, which made Flash look a bit better (and to be fair, g3 Flash played a bit better towards the end). No idea what's going on with him but he is looking alarmingly mortal... | ||

He went for style points in this tournament, going for the more creative and wilder strategies, and it's been quite entertaining to see. ASL has been missing those since Shine don't qualify anymore. | ||

A) Vults can come up the main ramp if T simply floats the fac. B) Vults can cliff the nat, in which case you need a hydra on low ground in the nat. C) Wraiths can hunt ovies. D) If you block with hydras by putting them way off to the side, they’ll be horribly out of position vs any other kind of harassment, and if vults somehow do get in you’ll be too slow to respond. Seems to me that good Zergs attempt to protect their drones by keeping hydras in the vicinity of the drones and actively controlling the hydras. It didn’t work out for Action or Soma but that must be the reasoning. It’s not possible that it literally never occurred to them, in practice or in their matches against Flash, that they could block the entrance. Edit: More guesswork: Soma expected the first vult later than it came. He thought Flash would float all the way across (longer) and send the vult through the side door (longer) for the two-pronged attack. He was gonna fend off the marines with lings and a sunk and have hydras pop just in time to protect the main mineral line. Instead the vult was with the marines and it got in and Soma was off-balance the rest of the game. | ||

Not every game should open with a free expansion for both players. Zergs (or any players) have a great chance if terran plays 1 base , yea it requires more attention early game but thats what the game is like. Used to be ages like this, but it seems these days if its not a 2 base opening its a bad map and imbalance blabla... Really shitty. I welcome maps like these. Break the macro meta which is somewhat boring (imo). | ||

Break the macro meta which is somewhat boring (imo). Exactly. I don't see why it should be the norm for players to get a 'free' 2nd base. Bases, even main bases, should have second exits and/or be surrounded by cliffs. This allows for early game scouting for Terran and Protoss, too. I feel that Zergs have a somewhat unfair advantage in early-game scouting (hence, they can execute busts and fake bust more easily). It's not realistic that bases are arbitrarily 'walled off' by some invisible screen. A strategy-based game should be based on real warfare as much as possible. Of course, this may unbalance certain matchups. But if Terran can siege up cliffs with tanks, Zergs can muta harass or siege up with guardians. Zerg have viable strats even on 'low econ' (fast defilers). We should have more dynamic maps to freshen up the meta. | ||
