Probably the first time I'm watching starcraft to see the maps rather than the players. Excited for Plasma.
|
|
Starting now on Daum, nice intro for Sea, hoping he can takes the group and it'll be nice to see what they do on the new maps.
|
Stream started just now. Flashy red lighting.
Also, isn't that Jaedong that swaps the little placard in the intro? Pretty sad, considering he's not even in the running.
|
If anyone knows about other streams, i can add them to first post 
Plasma is ugly
|
|
yay Pure fanboy right here! Lets see what you can do o so awesome Protoss
edit: oo Pure is wearing the new uniform. It looks decent actually
|
I have hope for Hyuk, he's been showing promise lately

I hope Sea wins and that he shows us the "rip-off-uniform-and-show-the-TL-shirt-beneath"-ceremony

Midas and BeSt are cheering hyuk on in the audience!

did he just slide through the eggs as if they are not there (with the minerals) , or did he build a pylon which i didnt see to trigger it?

Minerals
I tried playing with it earlier and couldn't do the pylon hop.

Haha, cute trick morphing 3 lurkers in positions against the eggs and as they hatched one lurker was pushed across to the other side.

nice defense by pure with no observers
|
Reaver warping in just in time to stop 3 lurkers as they walk up Pures ramp and burrow, cannon for detection and shooting his own probe ontop of lurker to kill them off.
|
|
Will somebody do a live report to go with my YY.com slideshow?
|
|
Pure going up to 3 base, easily defending the 3 bases with 2-3 cannons and a reaver or two on the ramps against a rather large hydra / ling army. Flying arround with +1 corsairs and a shuttle with reavers and trying to harass, but getting no drone kills yet.
|
Pure has even bases and more gas than hyuk with sair reaver vs mass hydra
failed to get many ramps
going for a drop on the main now
|
attacks the first expo instead, dweb and 4 reavers defend it with ease, nothing hyuk can do at this point.
|
lol these ramps are silly : (
|
Big drop on pures base, EASILY raped by cannons + 4 reavers and corsairs clean up the overlords, I don't think pure lost any units, maybe 1 or 2 cannons.
|

it's impossible to get up that tiny ass ramp defended by cannons and reavers. and wow one of them even has a pylon blocking on top
|
kills about 5 overlords clumped together, but flanked the sairs for about 3 kills
|
Dweb corsairs flying around raping overlords and getting back to base in time to stop hydras from attacking up ledge with overlord sight. Pure stops hyuks expo attempt and rapes another big drop on his main base, he had about 5 carriers already built just idling at stargates and hyuk gg's.
|
how is a zerg supposed to attack that
|
One more drop that has to fail before we can see game 2

Dunno but i like this map anway
|
I guess hyuk hadn't seen that strat from P in practice, he responded very poorly IMO
|
that tiny ramp seems so imba with reavers
|
Hyuk didn't see the first expo until way too late. His first break ran up against way more units than he was expecting.
You could see him scouting the nat and min only of the toss to see when the expo was set. Too bad it was up and running by that time.
|
he did nothing with those hydras for so long, not that he could do anything, they def dont look to viable on plasma i expect big air in the future
|
Will be interesting to see what the Zerg answer is to that, looked like Hyuk had no idea what to do. :/
|
I doubt he didn't encounter that before, I mean wtf look at the map it's the obvious choice as a P player to go and reaver-cannon whore up those expos you can easily defend while maintaining air superiority and shut down new zerg expo attempts after the initial two...it's just the map
|
I'm pretty sure spire play is necessary. Upgraded muta + scourge + good micro into devourer mutas.
|
Almost all zerg look stupid when they aren't fully prepared for reaver/sair and have to face it ... even jaedong looked stupid against bisu on andro ...

Julyzergs handling of it vs best

earlier hive tech is probably gonna be played more too :S

that truely was a masterful handeling of sair/reaver i cant go a few days without watching that game lol

he should of open muta/scourge. wtf he went hydras on that map? did the dude even practice that map
|
Yes, on a map that isn't good for P on their level was even more impressive.
His early game sair/reaver took more damage then it gave, but just how he constantly kept try won him the early-midgame, and then what he did top right was just mean =)

imo his start looked really smooth definetly planned out with the lurks taking out the eggs ect. i really think he was hoping theyd do more damage then they did after that he just miscalculated alot

Game 2 Return of the King Pure - Red - 11 HyuK - Blue - 8
|
Awesome scouting path by hyuk.
Sees the probe as it crosses the midpoint, but the probe can't see the overlord.
|
over pool speed opening for Hyuk Pure going nexus first FE
|
lol hyuk looks like a retarted version of yellow.
|
8 lings out, not attacking though, 3 cannons almost up, nexus finished. Hyuk expanding to nat and 9 oclock gas expo.

Any better stream people?!
|
Heh, at least YY works now...too bad the lag was unbearable during the first game, I've only caught some small clips
|
Spire started for Hyuk, Pure getting stargate and robo. Hyuk getting hydra den now too, adding 4th hatch.
|
After lagging in game one, Daum works now pretty well
|
Pure drops probe at min only expo in base, built citadel and is upgrading +1 weap in forge, also added a few gates, reaver in shuttle with 7 corsairs flying around now. Two reavers in shuttle now, about 15 speed lots out too. Reaver + zeals engaging hydra ling army. Loses a reaver and almost all zeals, hyuk loses almost all hydras too.
|
What a bad time to accidentally put my comp on standby...
|
Hyuk snipes left over reaver, zeals running back to base. Few HT's out and 1 dt to scout, see's hyuks newely finished hatch at 6. Pure sending speed zeals in to kill hatch, storm drop kills all drones at 9. Hyuk engaging pures nat but storms killing almost everything.

Eh, Pure's micro totally slipped with that zeal / reaver army...he coulda won the game right there. This is still open, and I'd say in Hyuk's favor.
|
lovely storm drop^^
sexyness!
|
Ohnoes, I kinda called it.
|
Zeals came back from attacking 6 but hyuk sniping all obs with hydra + overlord. Finally cleared out the last two lurkers. Hatch at 6 was killed, hyuk engaging again with 5 lurks + hydra ling, all pure has is zealots + a few storms. Ling reinforcements come in and lurker + ling kill all cannons. Storm just in time to kill lurkers but lings in pures nat min line killing all probes. Reaver out, lings try to surround but 1 shot kills all but 1 ling, hero ling kills reaver but pure is safe for now.
|
What...
Leaves the nex in favor of losing 10 lings to 1 reaver shot
|

pure is way too behind. never mind... hyuk's 4th has nothing there :D
|
1-1 ups for pure, 3-2 for hyuk
|
if he just finished that nex
|
6 hatch is finished again, pure has a handful of zealots, an archon and 4 hts while hyuk has pretty big ling hydra lurker army. Pure going for another storm drop, storms his own ht and only gets about 3 drones. Another storm drop from pure, this time gets all but 2 drones in Hyuks main. Hyuk engaging pures army / nat again, tons of lings + hydra pour into his nat and killing it all. Pure GG's. 1-1

hardly as the attack was pretty much allin, he lost 50% of his drones to the previous stormdrop
|
|
Charges into pure's nat and overwhelm him since all the storms were used to kill drones (although each got 5+ drones)
|
hyuks play is pretty impressive
|
Well, Pure's only alive due to the back island min only, or he'd be suffocating by now. Interesting to note for the map's behaviour...
|
uggg Pure chooses the worst times to storm drop. He should focus more on his main army rather than harassment
|
I think hyuk's macro is a lot stronger than pure's, even if his decision making and gamesense isn't

It's hard to transition into a ground based army after a sair-reaver opening, especially because you fall this behind in upgrades. It was nice that even though Hyuk couldn't finish Pure, he never let go of his throat and sent waves and waves one after another, true Sauron style

Game 3 Andromeda Hyuk blue zerg bottom left Pure yellow toss top left
Hyuk has his sleeves rolled up now ^^ Looks like he's scouting cross positions with first overlord. Pure places first pylon at bottom of ramp for fe. Hyuks overlord see's probe and turns north. Hyuk going overpool speed again.

I think I would love to see what happends vs hyuk ... 2gate >templar/expo style .... he saurons vs sair/reaver .... like july, vs 2gate he would MURDER with his macro!

Really, though, I didn't get why Pure didn't use the basic principle of Reaver + Zeal vs Hydraling - keeping your zeals around and only a tiny bit further than hydra range so they're protected by being out of range from a portion of the hydras, while the scarabs cover them, and also acting as a blockade in order to prevent hydras from running by and sniping the reavers. He basically let his Zealots roam freely and fall victim to Hyuk's clutch micro while the reavers looked from behind, helpless.
And still, he won that fight. If he microed? Easy GG right there.
|
|
10 lings for hyuk, runs past cannons at nat and attacks nexus. Lings are out of range of cannons. 1 zealot out and probes trying to kill lings. Nexus on fire now, 250 health. Pure defends with probe + zealot, nexus is safe, two zealots heading for Hyuk. Nat hatch up, starting 3rd hatch at his min only and getting lair.

Huh? Maybe the zerg takes the whole map meanwhile and easily outmacros you? Reaver's lose effectiveness as your first push drags on as more hydras with a flank easily dispatch them. Smartass whiner.
P.s.: HERO ZEALOT YAY.

three zealots attacking hyuk, hyuk trying holding ramp with drone drill + lings, loses a drone or two though. One more rallied zealot strolls in and dies to lings. First look at Pures base, Citadel up, templar archives just started, first corsair out. Hyuk with 3 hatch and spire.

pure going kamikaze with his empty shuttle wasnt very great though

Second time pure made a huge mistake when attacking a natural .... he could have killed the nexus if he only pulled away during probe drills t.t
|
Two scourge chasing corsair around the map, first scourge hits, nice micro keeps the second scourge behind with quick turns but it stops ontop of hyuks main and dies. 5 zealot + archon engaging hyuks, 1 sunk + 7 hydras. rallied speed lots running in, 6 lots + archon still alive. Nice building placement stops pure from doing anything but getting a drone kill or two before its cleared up. About 15 hydras below pures min only, trying to get probe kills with overlords sight, two storms kill about half hydras and they back off.

my god hyuk's arms are scary skinny O_O

Hyuk expands to bottom rights nat. Pure with goon zeal temp army moving toward hyuk. Hyuk morphing 6 lurkers, pure engaging as lurkers morph, storms kill all hydras, ling reinforcements come in but so do speed zeals. Pure forces hyuk to retreat back to sunks while he waits for more reinforcemens. As a group of lots meet up with the main army he engages again, hyuk has 1 lurker and 1 sunk vs 7 zealot 7 goon 1 ht, pure raping hyuk, and reinforcements coming. STorm on drones and all units dead for hyuk. Hyuk GG's and pure wins set 2-1.

Seriously, you are rather dumb if you didn't understand what I wrote.
To respond to your 'clever' post:
Obviously I didn't say Hyuk would just stand there and let his hydras melt, but even while retreating two targeted scarabs easily rape 3-5 hydras, and free kills are always good. Besides, I wasn't even talking about that.
What I was saying is not about Hyuk, but about Pure. If Hyuk doesn't want to engage then sure, be it. But you don't just let your units scatter like that.

i agree that sending the zealots in alone was bad, my point is that its just silly to say it would've been gg with some micro as hyuk would just keep retreating until he could flank against an army where there reavers are in good position.
And as a tip you dont get two targetted shots in against a hydra army of that size, ever. If you do you lose both reavers instantly.

wow, if sea do this TL ceremony.. the world will stop :O

lifting cc by mistake shows his nervousness
|
Pure getting stargate, siege upgraded, only 2 more eggs before he's through. Two three tanks out now, two vult 3 rines. Sieging up at pures expo and engaging tanks, pure killing two tanks with goon + probes, only has 2 goons left. rallied tank + scvs building turrets and crawling toward the expo. Pure starts feelt beacon.

looks like 2 base fast carriers but sea is attacking pure's nat without interference
pure down to 1 base, 2 stargate carriers
all in?
sea scouts it
|
Whoopsie, a CC lift
|
Three vults make it into pures main but cannon at min line. Zealots + goons engage again and take out a tank but loses all but 3 goons again. First carrier started, second stargate almost finished. Pures CC down, sea HAS scanned the stargets and knows carriers are coming. Placing tons of turrets every few steps, seiging up below pures base. Fire carrier out for pure.

sea takes down assimilator from the bottom of pure's main. he has no gas now
sea building starport with tower. cloaked wraiths coming
sea's got this! go go go
|
Apparently 2 fact still pwns 14 nex.
|
Sea sieging pures min line from below, pure starting nexus at his expo but sea scouts with vults. Looks like pures going to take his carrier to seas base and not worry about seas attack. Scvs buildings turrets and tanks + vults engaging pures expo. looks like sea is going for cloak wraiths to take care of the few carriers that make it out. Tanks have killed all goons now and are moving in to kill probes at main. Carrier attacking random supply depot for no reason.
|
Sea losing all his tanks to goons up in pures main, carrier trying to take out the acad, acad dead. two wraiths out and cloak finished.
|
This new map is awesome

Pure has 0 detection, no cannons or robo, wraiths slowly killing both carriers. 1 carrier down, forge just now started again, it must have died to tank fire with first push. Energy runs out on wraiths and they hold over top of tanks. 1 cloak wraith inside pures main still shooting carrier, two carriers now but 1 only has 70 life.

unstealth wraiths run in and snipe low life carrier. two battery shields up for pure. carrier randomly attacking buildings in his main to keep all ints out. 4 wraiths killing all the carriers interceptors 1 by 1, only 1 carrier left, pure engaging with two goons + carrier but sea defends perfectly and takes first game. 1-0 Sea.

wow... just... wow...
games on plasma render me speechless
|
Sea plays great when he's nervous >:D
EDIT: He's obviously nervous because of the TL shirt hes wearing

1 base carrier ain't the best but... i guess he had to try something.

14 nex works fine on this map against 2 fac, but 14 nex into 2 base carrier's pushing it.^^

The fact that sea never expanded kept me tense the whole time despite his advantage at various points. I need to learn enough about tvp just to watch ^^;;

maybe he wrote something on his white shirt commemorating TL :D

Pure must be pretty damn confident on these next 2 maps to try something like that first game
|
Game 2 Return of the King Sea - Teal Terran Bottom Left Pure - Purple Protoss Bottom Right

I imagine in practice this worked as terran probably FE'd as well ... Sea is known as macro god after all ..
|
Lets see how the long rush distances work.
|
Another 14 nexus from Pure. Sea walling in. Sea scouts cross position then top left, going to scout Pure last. Cybernetics core finishing for pure. Sea starting cc after fact.
|
Pure places pylon in the way of landing cc, and sends 2 goons + zeal toward sea, starting robo also. two fact for sea, 1 add on. 4 goon + zeal rushing, both tanks dead but a 3rd ta nk is out. Its sniped and remaining two goons back up ramp, killing all rines as they tried to kill a goon with only 4 health left. Pure up to 6 goons again. Sea sending out two vults, mining middle ramps andpath to his base. Shuttle out for pure, robo support halfway done.
|
TANK BREAK! He killed like 3 tanks and 4 rines at the cost of 2 goons
|
Sea scans shuttle floating over robo bay waiting for reaver. Pure starts nexus at his min only in base and transfers 4 probes before picking up reaver and 1 zealots and heading toward Sea with goons + shuttle. Pure starting his 4th nexus at 3 o clock gas base, vults run in and snipe probe but after nexus was laid. sea unsieges and pure runs goons back to his nat. Pure taking the high ground and threatening seas base. Sea pushing pures nat, leaving one tank behind that gets killed by goon + reaver. Pure engaging sea's nat, killing two tanks there and all mines. Sea pushing into pures nat as pure walks goons up seas ramp, killing scvs + rallied units.
|
New goons + zeals eventually deal with seas push while reaver prevents seas scvs from getting any goon kills and sea GG's as his push and base lay in ruins.
|
why the heck did he push then? he must have known that he was behind because of the build orders

Maybe that was the reason.

cuz p was gonna be 4 base, he didnt really have much of a choice

I guess he figured pure going up to 4 bases so quickly while he was on two was a good time to start his push, but with the early tanks he lost he didn't have nearly enough units to make it effective and simply threw the game away .
|
middle area and alleyways still look really tough for protoss to engage on
|
Game 3 Andromeda Sea bottom right brown terran Pure bottom left yellow protoss
|
|
Sea looks murderous this game ... Pure is fucked.
|
Both player scout wrong. Sea walled in, only one scv on gas after factory was started. Sea sends scv cross map towards pure after scouting top right. Sea see's finished nexus at min only and core just now finishing. He starts cc near his min only.

Sorry to bug you, but is there any alternate stream? Daum is being a real bitch today, buffering every 5 seconds -.-

Omg i really really really hope Pure wins. He deserves it.
|
Both players seem to be scouting a lot for cheese. First tank out for sea, cc landing at his min only (don't know why it wasn't built a few spaces to the left in the first place) and maynarding. Pure has a probe at his nat. Sea has 3rd cc almost finished already, pure just now starting 3rd nexus at nat. Looks like sea being risky will pay off. 1 fact still, ebay finished, building turrets and moving cc down to his nat. Three tanks out for sea now.

so fast! 4 base P vs 3 base T. as it should be
|
Pure starting 4th nexus at 9. Sea adding 2 more facts. +1 weapon already started for sea, starport too. Pure upping his gate count. Sea sends out 4 vultures but they're easily stopped by goons. Sea up to 2 armories, sci facility finished, probably going for a timing 2/1 push.
|
Stargate for pure finished, fleet beacon started. Vultures laying mines between goons out in middle and pures nat, but its cleared up quick. Sea adding 5th fact now, did a 2 vult 1 tank drop in pures main, got about 6 probes and cannon finishes in min line, zealots clear up tank shooting nat min line. See's flashing stargate, sending dropship to 12 and starting cc on island, also landing cc at 3. First two carriers out.
|
thanks for live reports, really appreciate it
|
2/1 finished now, first push coming. About 12 tanks 6 gols 15 vult sieging and mining right by pures nat. Crawling foward and spliting reinforcements and his army. pure sending goons around top and to 3. Sea unsieging and moving back to defend.

go sea! break him please!
|
Sea cleans up units at 3 and kills about half pures army. Pure up to 6 carriers now, about 10 zealots 10 goons. Sea looks like he has about 20 gols 12 tank 12 vult, 2/1 upgrades. Sea has 1 tank + 4 vults outside pures nat killing reinforcements. Carriers attacking building cc at 1. Sea sieging up outside 9 and forcing pure up into 11, now spliting his army and going to pures main and 11. Carriers killed 3 and are attacking sea's min only / main base. Gols in main base killing interceptors but min only cc dies.
|
Sea Splits his army in two, and goes to 11 Main and 7 Nat.
Pure's carriers at 11 main, but 7 nat is down!

nooooooo sea's expo at 12 is raped
|
Pure scouts and kills Sea's Island 12 expansion with carriers
|
Sea is still far ahead in Psi, but he is running out of bases
|
Pure making dts from every gateway, killing lots of seas units as they sit on ramp. Carriers engaging sea's island. Sea attacking 11 again, but turns around and walks back down ramp. About 12 carriers out now, heading for 3 again, sniping the cc and running away from gols.
|
|
Pure engages massive goliath army directly, but is losing his 11 main
|
omg this is a great match

pure has double digit minerals. keep killing interceptors! and it's game
|
Pure has no mining bases? Nat nexus is dead, 11 has a few units at it, min only is mined out and so is main, just now building a few probes at an almost dead 9. rallied carrier in middle dies, tanks killing cc at 9 and gols holding carriers back from defending.
|
pure losing 9, his only functioning mineral base
|
pur eis out of minerals, barely able to afford new interceptors
|
pure killing the CCs, no scan vs dts hahah
|
sea has taken center! Pure is basically reduced to just his carriers, which he can barely restock
|
Pure's out of cash for Interceptors, hopefully Sea can take it.
|
pure is about to lose 11 main, his only minerals

haha carriers caught with their pants down! it's sea's game to lose
|
pure runs into a goliath army, and loses some carriers,
it's over now
|
Sea chasing carriers, killing 2 of them, very low interceptor count. Carriers stuck at 1 while sea transfers scvs to middle expo. only 3 probes at 11 mining. sea 140 supply pure 61. Few tanks attacking 11 again, killing only goon there and the probes. Tons of gols in middle directly under carriers killing 1, 2, 3 carriers. 4 now. all but 2 carriers dead, this has to be gg.
|
Dang.... Pure GGs.... so close ><
|
Pure can't possibly win now.
Yeh, GG
|
|
GG, sea advances 2-1. What a fucking GOD.
|
|
nice effort by pure. was pretty sick when sea was on two bases with the larger army against pure's 4 bases
|
|
when pure was left with only carriers, Sea was just dancing around killing expos while losing fewer
|
Oh wow that was insanely close.
I thought pure had it for sure, then they showed his 2 nex with no probes mining and his mined out main.
|
no tl tshirt

carriers are phasing out i tells you
|

massive mistake from pure
|
ahh well Good job Sea. I won't forgive you if you lose early than the semis
|
pure should have taken the island instead of 9 or 11 maybe?
|
Sea places his name in group A under a zerg after advancing. Explaining his choice no doubt, and making the commenters laugh a lot . No ceremony in sight folks.
|
|
Sea didn't do the ceremony. -_-

Nice!
Sea Vs July will be interesting! We'll get to see July's ZvT straight off the bat

the first seed in group A is the previous OSL's winner, fyi. Sea is the first guy in July's group, but who knows, this is a new group drafting system

I chatted with Sea online a few times about which pro gamer zerg styles are good ZvT and which aren't .. he repeated said Jaedong/Savior style best style- Hong ji ho (low eco zvt) bad
I love july, but Sea micros better then anybody TvZ and macros as good as forGG ... july won't win for sure

wow I have no idea what happened in those last 10 minutes, pure definitely wasn't supposed to lose that.

His macro is really really strong and yeah, maybe he can go toe to toe with ForGG at a good day. Microwise though I think there's quite a few terrans who's just as good or better. Casy and Hwasin both showcase micro I personally believe is a notch above Sea atm. Hope he proves me wrong though.

Indeed, I like this format alot more.
gg Sea, seriously WIN this OSL!

YUM BOSUNG FIGHTING
I really hope he goes far, it would be awesome if he made the final.
|
|
Haha sea does it again, good for him.
Please make it further this time.
|
GG Sea . I really thought he won't make it in game 3, but then again - I am happy for him . Pure lost too many carriers without doing any damage - and then again Terran can keep up with the toss, while having the same number of expos, longer, than the other way around .
But then again, I am eager to see more and more strategies on the new maps .
Go, go Lee Young Ho .
|
Sea is really ridiculous. I mean... He rapes shit left and right till what? Ro8? And then lets his retarded sister or brother play the games...
Anyway, nice games today! Hope he can get reaaaaaly far cause he seemed the coolest guy in tl attack.
|
Sea is awesome but.... no TL shirt? He told us he would!
|
His practice schedule is busy as hell. It's probably easy to forget some promise you made to some people you don't see anymore, once, when you're preparing for this.
|

ZOMG SEA FOR POWER RANK #1!!! o wait.
|
Sea vs Pure were really GG's. Too bad I like both players. =(

Gj Sea, now make it past the ro16 one time please.
