Go Sea/Kwanro/Orion! I like both UpMagic and July!

I will refrain from predictions for today, but I hope for one thing: Long, exciting games! The OSL series yesterday was so disappointing, all short games, all rather one-sided rapes.

This is ridiculous, GOMTV is like, actually working

GomTV has been stable for months for me, only recently the quality dwindled a bit. Is anyone else remotely happy to see a terran mirror, as those games usually tend to stretch out at least a *bit* of time?

I hope July and Kwanro win. I don't really care about the other two matches.

the new intro is worse
and its still the same
|
Light Orange @ 9 Sea Red @ 12
Map: Zodiac
|
Standard play from both players so far
|
Sea's Rax in odd position, might be to try and feign cheese... Floating away to 3 o clock
|
1st fact going up for both players. Light scouts sea and vice versa. Both players expand at virtually the same time
|
Sea/Kal/Jangbi/Upmagic. Fuck yes.
|
Well, my guess is that we'll see an interresting game, since these 2 must know each other a lot.
|
1 vulture out for sea, then shop. Light building 2nd vulture
|
Sea has lots of vultures, light has tanks + gols + starport going up
|
Sea spots port with floating rax
|
Drop ships building for light
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Sea defends a drop on his 2nd expo with vultures, but loses - logically - quite a few to the goliaths while Light picks up and flies away.
|
Light drops Sea's 3rd CC. inflicts some damage. Light putting up 3rd CC himself.
Sorry about the tardyness of these reports... rather distracted. Does anybody want me to continue?
|
Tanks stayed stuck on ramp, causing a lot of vulture lost by Sea.
It's really not going his way lately.
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Four dropships for Light already and he has the unit advantage with Goliaths against Vultures. He is floating a CC to the Island above his base and getting readay to drop Sea's main. Sea barely defends, but it looks like it was ressource-efficient for Light.
|
Light drops Sea's main. Inflicts some damage... forces scvs to come off line at sea's nat
|
Nice defense by Sea there though.
|
Sea deffended a major drop in his way without any heavy economy losses except for trading in his own units.

Please do continue with the live reports, they are much appreciated
|
continue with the reports as I can't watch the games!
lovely reports my boy! keep it up!
|
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Dropships pass the tanks that Sea has spread in the middle and dare not venture further. Small skirmish in the middle, the mines which Sea planted there finally pay off. Light now on four bases, as he lands yet another CC.
|
Righty oh :D
Light looking to expand to 6. Sea has set up many turrets around the map. Light destroying those at 6. Sea expands to 3 and 3 inset simultanously.
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Despite of his superior dropship force Light shows little aggression. Sea is spreading missle turrets over the map. Sea is obviously trying to contain Light within his half through well-spaced tanks. Map has been split for the most part.
|
Light has also expanded to 9 o clock island. Light drops at 3. forces Scvs off line at 3 inset, forces cancel of 3 CC
|
Sea is really suffering for not having drops atm. Light drops at the 3 o clock expansion and sea can't use neither of his two expos there.
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Light finally dropping something, the 3 oclock base Sea has claimed. Tanks are rolling to the rescue and Sea tornadoes the attack force without many losses.
|
Sea expanded to 3 o clock natural. frontlines fairly stable, light with dropships inflicting worst than he gets.
|
Sea slowing pushing towards 6 inset expo, controls middle of map
|
Hungary11232 Posts
FPview shows Sea spreading missle turrets everywhere. He is pushing through the middle with a flock of tanks now. Seems like he wants to play Brute Force vs. Subtelty, aka: Who Needs Dropships?
|
Light flees with scvs from 6 inset, many die
|
Large drop from light at sea's main. also gets many scv kills at 12 inset expo
|
Sea finally building up dropship force
|
Sea needs some dropships, or at least more goliaths. Light has been dropping all over him
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Light going for a 6 ship doomish drop on Sea's main, but one ship gets shot down on the way. Sea is having trouble extincting the threat though. Light uses the free room to push into the middle, where mines really hurt his forces.
Sea dropped the Island expansion above Light's main, does some damage to the SCVs which fight back, Light comes for the rescue. More tankwars going on in the middle of the map with Sea claiming more territory at the moment. Macro-wise Sea is looking like the stronger at the moment, this is a long game where he can show his excellent mechanics.
|
Light must be really nervous since he spent 5 seconds trying to place a refinery haha.
|
Light retakes the 9 inset expo, but sea drops at 9 island... many scv's die
|
Sea now drop s at the island expansion, kills off a bunch of SCVs before Light drops his own units there to kil it
|
Sea has many more tanks than light... sea slowly pushing, retakes 9 inset. floating CC to 3 island
|
Sea is just plowing through anything light has at the moment :O attacked lights island expansion killed everything there, and dominated light on the ground seconds after.
|
Sea ahead in CCs at the moment. 6 mining to light's 5
|
Again pushing toward's light's nat, large force of tanks and dropships
|
Seiged outside light's nat
|
Sea floating rax to the island expansion 4 dropships for sea Sea drops at the front door of Lights natural, and pushes with about 16 tanks as well, doesn't do too much
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Sea now with respectable 4 dropships. Setting up a breakthrough in the middle of the map, straight for Lights natural. Loses a dropship to goliaths, but has a ton of tanks sieged in front of that very natural now. Light fighting back from highground. Stalemate for a moment.
|
Sea 2 expansions ahead now, still denying 9 and 6 inset expansions
|
Both players mined out at main, and almost mined out in naturals
|
So they've splitted the map.. BC's next?
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Sea has Light contained in various spots, at his natural, at the 9 expansion (towards the middle). If he can pick off the weak spots now (right hand side expansions), he should be way ahead.
Sea getting mass starports on the right hand side and double armory next to it.
|
Sea expanding again to 9 inset
|
On January 24 2008 18:58 Storchen wrote:So they've splitted the map.. BC's next? 4 Ports and dual armory coming up

Pushing/dropping 6 natural expo. almost all scv's die. CC lifts off
|
Sea building two armories and 4 or so star ports. Sea then drops at the natural of the 6 expansion
|
Sea switching to bcs while taking down another expo for light and containing him... looking good for sea :D
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Sea is doing just that, utilizing his containment to drop the rightmost base of Light, the 5oclock expansion. Physics lab going up for him.
Light retaliating by eliminating some tanks at 9, floating his CC there, but Sea is fighting back.
|
Physic's lab and multiple starports going up for sea
|
sea starts the starports.. Light wont afford it.
The match is over any minute anyway :/
|
to be honest i find this game much less entertaining to watch than any of the 10 minutes games yesterday...
|
Heh, couldn't post because of flooding TL.net. Should slow down a bit :D
GG coming up soon from light i would imagine... looking very bad for him
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Light finally manages to clean out the containment force at his natural, but this status has set him behind substantially. Sea, funnily, although none of his factories is working, is getting yet another.
Light doing a desperation push towards Sea's natural, but gets repelled. Sea going for wraiths at the moment, might end up as a combination of wraiths and BCs?
|
BCs and wraiths building for sea, many more forces than light

Light has the best posture of all progamers.
|
hmmm... many wraiths, not sure if BCs are actually coming. Light has managed to put up 9 inset, sea attacks but is repulsed.
|
Sea is not building any bcs yet, its pure wraiths so far.
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Wraiths have 1-1 grades, Sea is dropping the 3 expansion once more. Dropships moving up to Sea's mainbase, so the wraiths will have to reveal themselves soon. Heading up to intercept the ships. As Light loses those he GGs out.

Good call.
Looks like mass wraiths from sea. at least 25 or so. Light GGs
|
Light does a desperation drop at Sea's main, Sea throws up a nice defense, and reveals his wraiths. Light GGs.
|
Woho, Sea wins after showing ~18 wraiths or so, making light realize hes screwed and he taps out.
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Light is shown packing up his keyboard from reverse angle. Impressive.
|
LOL. Light: "no wai wr8 kk gg."
|
Light shakes his head... Sea looks whimsical.
Kwanro vs Kal on Blue Storm up next

No Happy Endings is a great song

Blue Storm Kwanro White@1 Kal Blue@7
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Relax aepplet, no game going on so far . Just now they are showing Goojila and Kwanro. Those stats are very limited though, Kal has 2-0 against Z, Kwanro 1-3 against Protoss (0-3 Bisu though, heh).
Game started, Bluestorm, white zerg top right, light blue toss bottom left.
|
9 pool, extractor trick for kwanro kal goes forge first
|
Hungary11232 Posts
So, Kal going with forge opening, before Nexus, Kwanro 9(?) pooling and setting expansion afterwards, already has 6 lings out. It looks like he might go for the "forge expand breaker", which relies on fast hydras, 2 hatch low economy and forcing the protoss to delay his tech.
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Kwanro is also taking his minonly, but he is rather slow on getting gas, that means his speedlings will kick in later or not at all. Kal has his expansion nexus ready, is getting a core and protecting the whole thing with three cannons. It looks though as if hydras could easily hit the nexus from above with getting but the fire of 1-2 cannons.
|
Kwanro then does a hatchery at the natural, a hatchery at the min only Kwanro then manages to kill the scout Kal does FE. Kwanro now getting Lair tech 2 zealots and a probe moving out from Kal, one goes through the small choke to the nat, stays there, other prevents mining from the min only Kal has a stargate up, robo going up
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Two zealots and probe heading up, for trouble. Ro still has his initial 6 lings. One zealot with probe is probing the narrow passage to the expansion, the other is troubling the min only. Kal getting robotics and has a starport. Kwanro with tech and spire going up. Scouting zealot spots the spire. Good position for Kal.
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Kwanro with nothing to fight off corsairs yet. Spire done soon though. Kal with no cannons in his main base so far, maybe that is going to be punished.
edit: nvm, one just warped in. Support bay up for Kal, second stargate coming. He seems to be one step ahead most of the time. Kwanro letting spire be spire, with only getting a few scourge, going for hydras now.
|
Zealot dies at min only, zealot dies at main, zealot kills 1 or 2 drones at the nat. Corsair out for Kal, another zealot then dies. Spire and Hydra Den up for kwanro, scourge are out, support bay going up for Kal Kwanro expands to the 12 position, uses scourge to scout. Another Stargate going up for Kal, GomTV getting laggy. Kal has been really consitant with his scouting.
|
|
Kwanro is fucked .
|
Kal was aggressive early on, but now he's just sitting back while Kwanro powers like mad. Could be really bad if he isn't able to drop soon.
|
after kwanro saw the second warping stargate with scourge, kal canceled and is building a citadel there
reaver shuttle escapes scourge \o/
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Kal getting citadel, soon he will have teched through all what protoss has. Kwanro taking the base at 12. Kal now with a sizable corsair force, also getting observatory. Kwanro adding hatcheries at his minonly, classic zerg macro move on Blue storm. Shuttle and corsairs almost get intercepted by scourge, but quick reflexes save the cargo. Reaver drop at main base.
|
I *think* Kal canceled the second stargate, has citadel instead. Scourage nearly intercept the reaver, but Kal prevents Kal drops reaver at min only does minamal damage, drops at main, kills 2 hydras and a drone Now reaver does massive damage to the main drones
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Shuttle drops a reaver once more at Kwanro's natural, reaver has racked up 10+ kills now. Ground force of Kal's moving up the map towards Kwanro's natural. Two reavers help the zealots take care of the hydras.
Kal pushing into Kwanro's minonly, Zealots are ripping up the hydras everywhere. Kwanro ggs.
|
Kal is so entertaining PvZ.
|
trouble for kwanro! Kal has a group of speedlots and 2 reavers vs kwanro's hydras
They're pushing all the way to zerg's minonly and killing his 3 hatches there
|

omfg kal plays this nicely
|
Kal with sizabel zealot force, Kwanro with large hydra force, battle in middle. 2 reavers for Kal, scourge takes out 2 sairs, gom lagging, kal pushing kwanro back Attacks min only. Speed upgraded lots for Kal. Zealots go into the natural, Kwanro GGs.
|
very nice play by kal, kwanro ggs out
|

That really schooled Kwanro, sheesh.

damn, that was some sweet play by kal.

LOL PUERTORICAN IS BACKSTAGE

|
Kwanro may be a aggressive monster against Terrans, but against Protosses, he doesn't do so well. Kal is a good PvZer.
|
Nothing fancy.
Shit a load of Zealots, attack enemy, use Reaver to squish Hydras.
|
The camera watching Kal watching himself on TV was amusing.

You outexpand toss 4-2 and you go what? Attack? 0 sunken? Gg Kwanro, you still have so much to learn.

Wow That starport feint by Kal was really smart, and putting pressure was good Smart play by Kal here GG
|

Kal is one of my more favourite players and I reckon he will make it to the finals (atleast the semi-final (he will squash Sea/Light).
Hope he gets on the PR next month... but there is a certain man in the way.

Blue Storm JangBi Purple@7 Orion Blue@1
I love the look Orion has on all the time. Its like he rolled out of bed, and was just sleeping, and then was forced to play a game.
|
Blue Storm, same positions as last game, toss bottom left, zerg top right. Zerg's blue if you believe in that kind of stuff.
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Same map, same positions, zerg at top right, protoss at bottom left. Lets see how the outcome will be.
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Jangbi mirroring Kal :p Actually it more looks like a replay than another game. Jangbi sexily delays the expansion hatchery.
|
JangBi does a good job of delaying the hatchery. Orion does pool->hatchery at nat, hatchery at min only JangBi goes forge first FE
|
9 pool w/ gas trick for Orion, forge first for Jangbi, who's doing some light harass with the scouting probe.
Hatchery coming up at nat after being delayed for a while.
Quite the repeat of the previous game as Orion puts up a hatch at his min only and Jangbi has two cannons near his nat nexus and has now taken his gas. Lings chasing probe at the zerg min only.
|
Scouting probe dies. Orion ups the hatch count to 4 while taking his gas. Stargate warping in.
Lair morphing as the zerg grabs his nat gas as well. Robo coming up.
|
51126 Posts
can any korean tell me what oom jiggy means?
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Robotics and Stargate for Janbi. REPLAY, REPLAY.
Earlier hydra den for Orion though than for Kwanro in the game before. Jangbi sending up zealots, Orion has 6 lings as before. One goes for natural, two hit the min only.
|
Hi guys just arrived! Jumping into the reports: stargate for Jangbi, Lair for Orion, hydra den also, zealots harassing Orion's min only, not inflicting any damage at all.
|
i can hardly believe i'm watching a new game
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Maybe there wasnt too much damage caused by Jangbi, but he kept his zealots, although they are being chased home by zerglings. Corsairs cruising Orion's base, but overall his timing looks better than Kwanro's who delayed hydras too much.
|
3 zeal harass with corsair on the way. Hydra den is up and one hydra is trying to keep the flyer away. Spire morphing and one evo chamber up.
2 sairs and one shuttle out for toss.
|
First corsair scouting Orion's base, now spire is put down, Jangbi upgrading air weapons. Reavers soon for Jangbi. Orion defending his ovies well.
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Jangbi's corsairs are doing about nothing right now, just cruising. Reaver out.
|
Commentators mention Kim Taek-Yong again, just like the last game. Reaver out, +1 air attack researching, citadel up too. Deja what?
|
Scourge chase shuttle and fall short. Again. O_o
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Citadel for Jangbi. If I am not mistaken, he will go for the same push as Kal did, with mass zeals and reaver support. He adds 3 gates for that.
|
i'm almost tempted to say that neither player was able to prepare for this match
consequently, they just copied the build from the previous match
i mean seriously everything is absolutely identical.
even the midgame 6 sair shuttle push that encounters speed hydras + 8 scourge
what the heck
|
OK jangbi is taking his mineral natural
this is a different game
|
Citadel and 3 more gws warping in the protoss main, 5 corsairs and 2 reavers up, Orion tries to scourge the shuttle, fails. Now he expoes to the bottom right corner. Orion burrowing hydras on different places.
|
51126 Posts
wow jangbi fuck your creative same with orion too
|
orion looks more emo than midas in his most pitiful moments. hoping for jangbi here, samsung fighting~
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Jangbi taking his min only base.Orion has a large gathering of overlords at his natural. He has burrow researched and is spreading his hydras over the map. Taking bottom right meanwhile. Mistake by Jangbi as he flies his corsairs into hydras. Spee dzeals are now pushing the middle of the map while corsairs harass the overlords at zerg expo.
|
What a nothing game.... Sorry to say it
|
who liked corsairs anyways
|
Why Blue storm twice today? This was a mirror till this part of the game
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Although they both might be copycats, one has to admit that a) Jangbi is doing a worse job than Kal and b) Orion is doing a better job than Kwanro.
Jangbi loses all his corsairs while a battle in the middle of the map is going on. Looking good for orion atm.
|
Orion has researched burrow and is planting hydra around the map while Jangbi looks to expand at 6. Zeals chasing hydra away from mid-map while corsairs run from other hydra in the zerg nat.
Two reavers in shuttle + zeals vs 3 lurks and hydra. All of the corsairs in Orion's nat die. Lots of hydra and zeal casualties in the middle of the map. Jangbi took his min only, zerg took bottom right.
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Hydras tried to push into toss min only but got stormed. Jangbi now with a DT which finds the undefended bottom right expansion. Zerg morphing lurkers and on the march now.
|
jangbi flies a shuttle directly over some hydralisks and orion chooses not to kill it
cool match
|
Templar archives and 3erd expo up for Jangbi, who loses ALL his sairs to hydras in Orion's base, who himself getting big losses from 2 reavers. Orion's macro looks great, he has a much bigger force than Jangbi at the moment. Ninja heading towards the bottom right corner, killing 5 drones, others burrow. Orion scourges Jangbi's shuttle.
|
Valhalla18444 Posts
oh, fair citizens of TL..
the day is fast approaching when I will no longer be able to say "Kal sucks", as i so love to say. who will be the target for my unfair hatred then? what will i do?
|
DT at bottom right while shuttle barely escapes hydra. Orion does a weird job of fleeing drones but saves new ones with burrow while the shuttle dies to scourge. Templar tech for Jangbi in full swing, he defended his min only with storm and now has an archon.
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Shuttle dies on the way up. DT did a good job bottom right (8 kills) but will eventually be disposed of.
|
jangbi likely going to win this one

Jangbi's army just hangs around his min only. Now moves out. Remaining hydra back off. Just templar/goon/reaver now as the zeals died to lurks. Hydra picking off templar above the toss min only.

these two currently playing

Orion teching to hive, adding another evo. Jangbi's army is still pathetic compared to Orion's. Orion denying the 6 expo from Jangbi with burrowed lings Orion has total map control now with hydras moving aroung everywhere. Jangbi breaks the contain, and slains a control group of hydras in the top left corner.

yeah i sincerely hope not either but jangbi has his big marching doom army and orion casually tossed away all his momentum in the midgame by not making any drones at all
|
jangbi cleverly chooses not to attack to give orion the opportunity to come back into the game
|
The upgrades favor Jangbi atm. 1-0-2 against 0-1
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Zerg swarm gathering in the middle. Jangbi taking top left, Orion taking 6, which should usually be a toss base. Fighting erupts in the middle. Shuttle goes through and drops 2 DTs in main base and 2 HTs at natural, causing HEAVY drone casualties.
Pimp by Jangbi, heavy economic strike, he took out the spawning pool (hence no crack for a while and did well in the middle battle.
|
|
Nasty.. spawning pool goes down to 2 DTs
|
|
Jangbi throws in all hes got and kills nothing important.. ouch.
|
Jangbi killing new hatch at 6. Counter from orion... nice storms and reaver support from jangbi, but he still comes out losing that battle. retreats to bottom right corner, kills a few drones before being wiped out
|
Jangbi expoing to the top right corner, now the map is halved. For some reason Orion's forces are small now, Jangbi manages to do a Ninja/HT drop, slaugtering drones with the HTs, and killing the pool with the DTs. Jangbi attacking Orion in the middle, Orion oddly leaving half of his force near his min only doing nothing. Jangbi kills Orin's expo at 6. Huge battle going on, no clear winner, Jangbi tries to inflict some economical damage on the bottom right corner with his remaining forces.
|
DT/templar drop at Orion's main and nat. DTs only kill a sunken, but the templar raze some 12-15 drones.
MANY lurks for Orion. Pushes the toss army back.
A very careful Orion flees drones from an impeding storm drop. Shuttle kinda running around between zerg bases now. Manages to kill all drones at the min-only tho. While fleeing and everything.
|
|
When will the top player, that is apparently hiding somewhere deep inside him, finally come out?
It seems he is winning now, but he makes plays a good player shouldn't make.
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Jangbi is taking control of this now. His macro is rolling, he hit the zerg econmoy and is keeping him on his toes. Big group of zealots in the middle, clash with assorted hydrasling. Drop incoming into Jangbi's mainbase, lots of hydras there.
|
hehe dark swarm + hydar drop
this is cute
|
Doom drop on orion's main, defilers supporting. jangbi has units in position though
|
Very nice HT drop, killing ~15 drones. Jangbi has a huge force of zealots. DOOM drop on top of the gw's, swarm, storm on top of each other, it looks like Jangbi clears his main without too big losses while he just won another battle in the middle.

haha orion's drop very nearly kills two gateways
what a needlessly dramatic game ioi
|
The zergs fail me on Blue storm today :/
|
Interesting back and forth play here, each player takes a momentary advantage then throws it away...

Quick expo scan: Orion is resetting up the 6 base, Jangbi is taking 12. So the map is evenly split, although Jangbi's economy has been running stronger for a while. Defilers are now plagueing the protoss army in the middle which makes a move right now. But not for vital targets but once more killing the 6 expansion. Jangbi really needs to stop the zerg from macroing, else he will get slowly overrun.
|
Massive drop for Orion in the toss main. With swarm. Only kills one gateway tho, I think some of the overlords were empty. Orion has taken 6 o'clock, Jangbi 12.
Zerg plagues more than half of the toss army, including the three reavers. 6 o'clock will be razed, tho. Toss army is way smaller for its achievement.
|
Huge plague on jangbi's forces. Again nice storms but the force is destroyed
|

Reaverdrop at zerg natural kills sunkens and some drones, but there is hardly anything left to mine there anyway. Yet another protoss force pushing into the middle of the map.
|
Haha, he drops reavers at the expo. But the scarabs fly right through the drone swarm, hitting the sunken behind it, until 6 scarabs kill the sunken. But by then Orion has responded.
|
Jangbi has more expos than Orion now, Orion plagues half of Jangbi's army though. Orion moving under the storm with hydras. Things looking good for Jangbi now. Jangbi dropping 3 reavers in Orion's nat, and kills a SUNKEN COLONY when Orion finally reacts and pulls his drones away. Orion with lesser forces, plaguing ecerything again.
|
Skimishing in centre, more plagues go off. Just saves his shuttle from scourge
|
i feel like i'm trying to watch an old man w/ no teeth eat a granola bar.
i know what the outcome is going to be
i knew 30 minutes ago
i have no idea why i'm still watching
goodnight tl.net

Orions plaguework is decent, to say the least, but the reavers are dominating the field. As Jangbi has been denying 6 over and over again, he will pull ahead in economy in the long run.
|
My liquibet's screwed, lol
|
Reaver/zeal drop at the zerg nat, hatch survives but so do two reavers.
Orion mistakenly burrows some lings with his lurkers, decided against throwing up another swarm and just plagues again. Gets pushed back in a middle skirmish.
|
orion is mined out soon while jangbi has 2 expos running.. + jangbi got shitload of units.
|
gawd dang, orion never took out the reavers or shuttles that were continuously hurting him

hahaha,
ok, Jangbi took it. finally.
|
Korean commentators yelling all the protoss units'names. Jangbi showing 4 reavers, Orion with a very small force ggs and taps out.
|
Orion GGs as he figures out he'll run out of resources way before his opponent. Reavers did a great job of deterring aggression.
|
what a shocking game, sorry to say it...
Looking forward to Upmagic vs July

MATCH OF THE NIGHT INCOMING. Miniboxer versus Chubbyzerg.
|
Well, finally we saw a Protoss use reavers with his ground force against zerg.
Seems to work well.
|
Yes, they worked quite well, and considering the fact that mostly every major battle was fought in the open middle Orion could've really managed his fights better. I was hoping for a switch to guardians before it was too late. Oh well.

Well, if Orion would have made his doom drop a little more doomy, there might have happened more. He would have been right inside the gateways with swarm at his disposal.
|
Is this really a Starleague? Orion is awful.
|
Omg don't wanna see a game between these too guys again. What a drag. Thought Orion had some really good chances of taking this but he just messed up I guess. And he messed up my liquidbet too

Mmmm, the Doom Drop lacked Doom didn't it? Ah well, can't see either player beating who comes out of this series here :D
|
i can't believe orion took oov out. july to win for 0/4.
|
Makes me sad that winner of orion/jangbi will get seed for next MSL, if its still 32 players =/
Upmagic time now!!
|
wtf jangbi winning? cmon orion wtf!
|
upmagic at 6 july at 12. zodiac.
|
Orion and Jangbi are awful... there's no other word. They should both resign MSL and donate the Ro8 seed to someone who can show the fans a worthy game for this stage.
|
Game starting on Zodiac, July at 12, putting a 12 hatch and scouting with drone, Up with a ballsy 14 cc. Pool for July and rax for Up.
|
july 12 hatch at nat. upmagic 14cc at nat.
|
i'm not sure if july's drone scouted upmagic. he might have retreated his drone cause his overlord was already on the way there. 3rd hatch started for july. and 2 rax for upmagic. july just found out about the expo. 4 lings out and lair coming. lings won't be dealing much damage. already 3 rines out for upmagic.
|
July for some odd reason deciding NOT to scout Up with a drone, his intel of the 14 cc will be very late, he just have seen it with the ovie. Lair for July, 6 lings harassing Up's nat scvs.
|
Hungary11232 Posts
In general the game management of Jangbi might have been poor, but I liked the 2 DT -> Main, 2 HT -> Expo, Advance in the middle move. Really tipped the game in his favor.
|
upmagic with a nice macro advantage now since he got away with a 14cc and wasn't even forced to bunker. july with ling speed up. spire coming. scouted by upmagic's SCV that july accidentally let into his main. upmagic adding 3 rax for a total of 5.
|
Spire morphing July. Quite strange that against a 14 cc July just played the standard zerg build. Up building 3 more raxes, as soon as his macro kicks in, July will be in trouble. July now getting an expo at 9 (the third of the 9 main).
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Hehe, two lucky zerglings make it through Up's semi wall. Fast 3 hatch mutas incoming now. Up needs turrets.
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Battle in the middle, July barely comes out on top, but now the macro machine starts rolling.
July engages a ball of MMF in the middle but gets repelled. He bypasses the terran force though and attacks the main base, forcing Upmagic to return to defend. The next push will kill July, so he has to stall.
|
Up has his base well defended, July's mutalisks are virtually neutralized. July exchanging armies with Up, not in a very cost-efficient way. Up scouts July's expo. July still without queen's nest, still without any evos. Now he attacks Up's main with mutaling, causing some damage. Things looking really bad for July now.
|
July decides to fight a totally uphill battle. Still no signs of lurkers or any other tech. 2 port vessels incoming for Up. I don't know how July wants to pull this off.
|
Hungary11232 Posts
July doing a good job though, prolonging the inevitable. Vessel out for Up. Next push ends it, July ggs.

yay! 4/4
|
stream died for a while there. and i come back to see july with about a group of muta and a grou pof ling. engaging upmagic's marine medic. takes it all out with about 6 mutas remaining. upmagic has 7 rax now. starport/fac and irradiate researching. i don't think july has a hydra den yet. and he just lost most of his mutas. upmagic moves out into centre toward july's expo, and takes out july's army. july GGs.

July looked very very ordinary there.. where were the lurkers or hive?
Night all
|
Irradiate -> GG.
What the fuck was this, July? No offence to Up, he played well, but hell, 3 hatch muta into all-in mutaling against a 14 cc into SK terran? This was ridiculous.
|
Idra will learn a lot from Up.

July, just because you got a free win yesterday due to a lucky DC, doesn't mean you can relax and expect luck to be on your side every time. lol j/k don't kill me. I'm always rooting for July! what was that sumo? take your gloves down.

Indeed. Easy 7/8 last 2 days, but before that...huh. I guess I'm cursed with my blind faith in the old big guns (rA and the likes), and my faith in Bisu (wtf to loose to July, bleh).

way to go july... you beat bisu and get stomped by Up :/

Kal is actually pretty solid in pvz, but I can see how you think he sucks, since his other match ups aren't as strong, but still decent at times.

Fantastic, all the players I wanted to won. It helped salve my Bisu-losing-to-another-blue-storm-hydra-push woes.

Hi, I know this is a wrong thread, but I posted it in Daum thread and no one reply.
Is Daum Pot TV is a P2P tv or just a normal stream ? Because I will be banned from my college network if I use P2P. Thank you very much.

Its p2p but you can hax it so that it just leeches live from the feed and doesnt p2p for way less buffering but requires some tweaking. I suggest you PM R1ch about it and ask him very very nicely if he would explain to you how to work this as he's a busy man who does alot for us already .
Now I mention it, he should just write a guide for it like he did on how to fix the newest Hamachi versions with BW to prevent 100 diff people pmming him haha.

I've written a guide, too, check out the BW forums. It features a solution without having to install a third party program! :D *ad off*

Eh, you can just continue denying he's good and will clearly crater (course you have to cede power ranks, but yanno ). Sooner or later he will! (Or if by some crazy small chance he starts dominating every starleague you can cry yourself to sleep at night :o).
4/4!

fuck. almost 4/4. fuck. gay july messing me up.

imo i believe july having to practice for vp and vt when the games only a day apart is unfair and probably made it very difficult to practice sufficiently for both, and something tells me he has an eye on that golden mouse so osl might of got more time or might be other way around practiced vt alo but vp last and the vp stuck not sure but i think next week will yeild more concrete results

Thanks for the vods yakii!

3/4, damn you Orion, I hope the UpMagiC game was good.
