He didn't win instantly on the 4pool, he played well seeing what Best was doing to counter him.

And as the others were saying, on the second game, he saw what units Best had, and saw a great opportunity to kill him, and used it perfectly.

July plays very smartly.

you can put it that way, if a player knows he cant keep up with macro war, then he prepares to end the games quickly, so in a way he is playing the way that his "weakness" wouldnt come to play.

Erm, so playing intelligently and to his strengths is lame?


If I was July I wouldn't want to earn my golden mouse with all-in rushes.

To win is to win. This is competition, this broodwar, no holds bar destruction, no matter what means.

Best's own fault for choosing bad builds. If he wants the macro war, he has to earn it by playing cautious and safe. Players like Savior and Bisu didn't dominate because they sucked and got killed within 5 mins in every game. Come on now.


This is pretty much what I have been stating all along. July is winning this, but by damn Best should have seen what July is doing right now was the perfect counter to his own style.

If I were Best, I wouldn't want to lose to rushes. But if I were July and I saw that Best was leaving himself open to what I'm really fucking good at, I'd be all over it (just like he is!).

Jesus progamers should make some "anti-rush checking" with their builds like chess players do blunder checking of their openings. That would prevent such disasters.
People call July's strategy cheese. I think it's backward thinking, if your opponent is using builds which are only working if the opponent doesn't attack straight away they deserve to be owned in 7 minutes games.


i totally agree with you. YOU HAVE TO EARN IT

umm he didnt kill right away because best defended it smartly

but there was still no way for best to win outside of july being stupid and whoring drones.

there was nothing special about that 4 pool

it was a fucking 4pool

not some work of art

You missed the point... it's retarded to say July wouldn't win a long drawn out game.


why retarded? i also think july cant win a long drawn out game.. so because i express my opinion, i am a retard..

great thinking there, and i didnt miss the point..


I'm pretty damn sure he's more aggravated by the way you make it seemed that July can't win a long-drawn out game. Your most recent post reflects that. However, if July can play anything like his first two OSL titles, than I would not want to be Best and face those mutalisks from hell. July most definitely can win a long game, maybe his odds are lower than his ballsy builds; however, he CAN (and probably will have to) win a long game.

i cant believe some ppl are disappointed with the games... i think they are great so far >.<
this style is so much more fun to see than macro style >_<;
and well july has always done this style so dont give him the 'if he cant win in a long game'
obviously best cant even compete with july in early so no need to play mid/late then >_<;
