Should had seiged the tanks or moved them all the way back to base. Yeah, true. Thinking about it, I assume he tried to divert with the drop in hopes to set up a forward position with just a handful of tanks. That way he would have been way faster at Best's nat when the actual push was ready because he wouldn't have needed to leap frog the entire distance but only half. | ||

This map is really bad for Toss though. No way to attack Terran. | ||

Well, the b/o advantage for JyJ was pretty big. On April 04 2021 19:58 Dangermousecatdog wrote: I had Korean stream open at the same time so it wasn't too much trouble for me. The Korean stream worked fine so I guess ASL limited their bandwidth or something? Anyways what might had been missed was that Action put on a really good burst of muta micro that managed to make JyJ abandon his nat, but then he lost too many mutas at once and after that JyJ retook his nat and pushed out and killed Action's third. Action did counterattack into the JyJ nat again forcing the lift off again but was cleaned up by science vessels. After that Action gged despite still having a substantial army since he was on 2 base. Edit: ok, so I seem to lose connection everytime the adverts start. Strange. Thank you! | ||

That strategy of JYJ won't get him the win in a BO3, or on a proper map. But hey, it's BO1, let's take a punt so you can eliminate the better player. | ||

Also a very good strat for this map in PvT. | ||

Not sure what's the problem here.. I thought it was pretty well known at this point. In a 2-player map things might be different but otherwise, I fully stand by my claim. | ||

He took his third way earlier than "standard timing", counting on either Best not finding out, or not being able to attack because of this map. If Terran has 3 bases and Protoss has 2, Terran simply wins, no amazing skills required. If the game was played on Eclipse or Polypoid (which it should be because its a BO1), JYJ would never. | ||

No player is obliged to play the way you want them to play in a competitive game. True. I dont mean to undermine JYJ strat. My main point is you shouldn't do BO1 in this round. And if you do, do it on a balanced map. | ||

No idea why toss don't nexus first way more often, too risky for zerg to gamble on punishing it. I see it 1/10 and toss would increase Winrate going nexus first 3-5/10 | ||

Unfortunate for Action, I thought he looked good today and he had a MASSIVE upgrade advantage in that last game... Not sure at what point exactly Soma overtook Action as the best new Zerg. Not sure if Action fell off or just hit a plateau | ||

I do feel like bo1s worked better during OSL days when players would have 1 match a week. | ||

Thanks for pointing it out. I think Dual Tournament was also this format right? I don't 100% remember the details but did MSL move to this format after it expanded from 16 to 24 players? (which is what ASL is) I'm looking through the cobwebs of my brain and I'm recalling glimpses of feelings of "well MSL ro24 is sort of a foregone conclusion mostly anyways, whatever" versus I think during the 16 player OSL bo1 one game a week era, the games somehow felt like they had more prepared builds, players looked more nervous / high stakes, etc. Totally might be selection bias though, hard to recall exactly what my impressions were from 15 years ago  | ||

At the risk of progamer ID deadnaming, I gotta say Sexy has too many AKA's. I was like whodafuq is Speed/Moon'Hero?

How is this a Zerg heavy tournament with 12 terrans in it (at this stage) ?. Anyway in next stage we will probably have a fairly balanced TvZ numbers with few protosses in between and what I dont like is that it looks like protoss no longer have players who can win or even reach the finals. Its predefined that the winner will be T or Z, at least thats how it looks to me | ||
