But the map imbalance is just too bad. On another note, Best kinda reminds me of Kingdom in his prime. How nostalgic. So if you get a starting location that's so horribly imba, then it might be a good idea not to play as sloppy as you possible can, if you manage to gain an advantage? Then again just playing sloppy and blaming the map works too I guess? | ||

When Best tried to run his troops down the small right lane, he thought he'd be successful cuz he had a lot more troops, but stork's reaver micro saved the day, when it mattered, stork's reaver micro was awesome ;( When you look at the psi figures, before the big attack in the middle, Best was ahead in psi by about 20 or so, give credit to Stork please. He tried his hardest to harass, and it eventually paid off. Please take into consideration that Best has had a week of non stop pvp training, he's had no events inbetween unlike stork who had to practice some for the GSI event. | ||

It wasn't that he played sloppy, it was that he was playing too aggressively at his advantage; which actually WOULD have worked on any other position on that map. ? Ok he played shitty not sloppy. Losing all your probes to one reaver and 4-5 scarabs is the definitely of sloppy. Or shitty. | ||

Then again just playing sloppy and blaming the map works too I guess? Best didn't play particullary sloppy. His biggest miss was the reaverdrop on his main, but even when he started to defend it, it was particulary hard due to the open area around the mineral line. Also, take into consideration that it was very much a possibility for stork to assault Best's natural whenever he felt like it, while storks natural is so ridicilously easy to defend best just couldn't do anything about it. His options were very limited. He needs to attack to bring down storks eco, but attacking is very risky due to the small chokes at 1. He can't wait for stork either, since the distance between his main and his naturals choke is far enough to let stork harass hard with reavers. Had he had one of the other positions, he would've won easily. | ||

If Best parks his reavers and goons at Stork's bridge, then takes half the map, what's to stop him? He had the game, then he lost it. | ||

I thought he did that partly on purpose. Making the reaver stay as long as possible, no matter how many probes he lost - would make it a lot easier for Best to attack Stork's expo. And killing it would have ended the game right there. Geez, it was like 20 goons against 8. Too bad for Best Stork built a pylon there and Best's units clumped together and wouldn't move down ramp until reaver came to the rescue. I'm not saying Stork played bad, because he did very well to come back into that game. To me, the only thing Best did wrong was to take a risk instead of killing Stork slowly (camping outside bridge and expanding). | ||

Ya and I'm sure Stork microed horribly in the beggining of the game on purpose. Just to set up this exciting win. Was all part of the plan. | ||

You can't be serious. edit: or maybe you are. In any case, no pro would make that decision. Risking the whole game, a game you're firmly in control of, for a slim chance of ending it earlier. | ||
