Anyone know why the reversion to 3 hatch? Map dependent? Substantial mistake from Mong going for all those erasers imo | ||

Back when 3 hatch was more popular the terrans would 5-6 rax and stop the 3rd from even going up over half the time | ||

But it was closer than it looked really, Mong almost bust into the natural. Zero was quite even on supply with Mong, even before nydus and defiler. So yeah, Mong was rather sloppy losing units to muta and lings in the middle of the map. The game looked bleak for Terran from then on. So I'm wondering what Terran could have done better early on, even before vessels. A different build than SK Terran? | ||

Just better army movements/decisions and better science vessel utilization. Zer0 got anything he wanted that game. Muta lived forever. Fast hive, fast 4th, fast upgrade/ultra as a result of the fast 4th gas | ||

Yea he was going to fake the drop then hit the natural (which would have won him the game) but instead he swung over half his hydras around to the top of the 3rd and basically just gave mini time to recover. Didn't really do the fake at all | ||

Almost as if to let mini spot the ovies and cover up his botched maneuver: "Oh, my overlords are just chilling here, wasn't planning anything. Nothing to see here, move along." | ||

It's kinda Zero style though, remember that ASL a season or 2-3 ago when he was super lucky to advance winning a game vs Mini (I think?) that he should've lost and another game in the same group (think it was vs a terran) he was way behind and pulled it through... Damn he had me doubting he was gonna win that last set too... Happy he won though, Zero is awesome. | ||

Really good series between Zero and Mini but that 3rd game totally delivered! ZerO played flawlessly but I felt like Mini was something different, he gave his 100% and showed he came to win. It's no easy feat to defeat last 2 ASL champion. Mong is good terran but he really needs to learn how to deal damage: he really failed at both matches doing so. If anyone watched Mong long he used to have a habit to get a ninja CC especially on Curciut Breakers to chew extra minerals before it gets discovered so it's satisfying to see Shuttle used his strat against him by taking a secret nexus on FS. But still Shuttle managed to go on so my point about Mong stands. That 17 hero DT kill by Shuttle was MVP. ZerO winning the series was expected but Shutle was so close. Sad ending. | ||

any idea what actually happened in game 3 of mini vs queen? absolutely clueless about from midgame on about decisions and meta.. Just speculating, but I think it was a combination of 1. upgrade advantage 2. getting around queen's contain rather than fighting to break it. Although queen was able to kill a ludicrous number of templar, mini never took an engagement that lost the core of his army, and his zealot runbys did heavy heavy damage. His massive upgrades also allowed him to trade very very well in every fight even without fantastic storms. | ||
