Replay is showing why Savior probably lost. He tried moving in onto 2 cannons with 6 hydras and 4 lings. But due to Best's gateway placement, 3 of his hydras got mispathed and did not get to shoot at the cannons, thus forcing him to pull back.

Jaedong lost? I could have sworn that was savior playing.

The lore goes that Savior asked Jaedong to create the group of death with him. So I would credit Savior to be the "creator" in some sense.

at the end it was about 130 psi toss vs 35 control zerg (BEFORE the final storm drop that raped about 10 drones)

might as well add savior was in negative supply because he didnt have any overlords.

replay showing savior killing gate just as zealot is done, game does NOT crash.

I think savior expected his early hydra push to force the toss to cannon and go speed zeals. However best just cannoed really heavily and continued with tech based play. This completely through savior off resulting in a complete rape. This is just going from the live reports though

Here's what I don't understand. Savior has early econ advantage and can't break toss, so instead of getting an even bigger econ advantage, he lets toss have a huge econ advantage. If you can't beat him when you have a better econ, how can you beat him when HE has a better econ?

Either fast tech to drop his expo, or take 5 bases and outmacro him. Pumping off of 3 hatcheries with like 5 drones each is just suicide.

Birdtoss against Rumblezerg incoming. Lets see how the bugwood works out in PvZ, haven't had that yet as far as I can remember, only TvZ (Cuteangel against Fakeyellow) and PvT (Rock stomping Flash).

Well, IF Savior can pull a win against Sea, his chances are not so bad. I wouldn't bet on Best beating Jaedong, so he has it in his own hands.

does that really seem at all likely
