I think BeSt is going to miss his first OSL title just because of this map pool.

i dont think this map pool is ne more or less worse than when savior won. but he won meeting terrans in semi and final with Reverse Temple and loguinus2.

PvZ is the hardest mu to balance out, hence a history of poor pvz recs from leagues throughout the years.

ZvT =/ PvZ, much different dynamics and styles of play.

you were talking about map pool and now your talking about MU balance?? nvm... forget it... you obviously dont get what i mean....

ZvT is just as imbalanced, if not more so.

And game 3 is starting now, lux is up 2-0, and the map is Troy, so it's good for best, but beware of Lux creative mind! Lux spawns at 10 while Best at 5. Best builds a pylon in his main, so he won't fe. Maybe he is afraid of a 5 pool . He now builds a gate and an extractor, and send a probe near the assim to block scouting. Meanwhile lux looks to be 9 speedling again.

Nono I inferred about map pool balance, not the matchup itself. PvZ mu's are tough to balance out for maps.

But FE variations have sort of balanced it out, but on a map like hwarando where you don't get a gas surplus when the zerg will get +1 up, it becomes a slippery slope.

when protosses play blind and mass probes (2 zeals and 3 cannons??) and then lose to a break, you really can't moan.

Luxury showing us all how lame Zerg is



I was actually really excited once I saw Lux go 9pool speed. I'm always interested to see what pro Zergs can do with an aggressive build on maps with ramps. Is cheese all Zerg can do? Seems like it's always 2 hatch muta or a hydra break after aggro starts from Zergs.



Its increadible that you call a two hatch muta build cheese. Its a fucking tier 2 unit!

"No rush 20 mins OK?"



What would you call it? An aggressive, low-econ build that has one good chance to deal big damage? If it's a strong econ build, why would anybody use 3 hatch muta instead?

I didn't mean to call 2 hatch muta cheese, though that's how it came out. Plus I've never even tried it or considered trying it, so I'm not in a position to say. Do you think it's not cheese? It seems equally cheesy to a hydra break to me, though I prefer to call it an all-in timing push.


Yeah its an aggressive low-econ build. But its certanly not all-in. Yes, you CAN win in one blow, but you can also deal a great amount of damage which only gives you a slight advantage.

Lux sends his lings the wrong way at 2, but is sending one ling toward the 5 position, so he will scout best. Best has one zealot and two probes to hold position, so lux attacks the assims and manage to snipe one! A dragon is out for best, but he loses his zealot! Horrible play by best as he lets zergling coming down his main! Meanwhile lux has laid 2 more hatches, one at his nat.

Lings keep storming in best base, killing quite a few probes. Sairs are out for best, he kills the scouting overlord, but lux has a spore ready. Lux has killed best's secound assim, so best is sealed in his base. He has a shuttle out that lift zealots behind the assim. Lux had a den, and is now building a spire. A reaver his out for best, and a control group of zealot is heading towards lux.

I was almost under the impression that BeSt WANTED Lux to shut down his assimilators - he was teching fast and going for corsair / reaver quickly, so he has access to dropships soon anyway.
