How to watch
- The games will be live on the Daum player (guide).
- GOM Player will be also be streaming the games (guide).
- Yaoyuan offers a live stream, with delay to the Daum stream.
Use Internet Explorer and install the TVAnts plugin (download).
|
btw, Carefree Me, it's definitely watchable on GOMPlayer.
|
Alright. I haven't been using GOM much recently, I'll be sure to add that information.
|
Well, yy is being a woman.
Anyone else got it working?
|
Well, I don't think anyone else is watching anyways, given how many people are posting here.
|
Backho!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

|
Any idea why Daum won't show me the homepage? I hate this program, and plus it's in Korean.
|
Well, why not live report.
Mind vs. Clay, Athena. Mind at 9, Clay at 5.
Looks like a FE vs. 3hatch muta. Mind tried a sunken break, but good drone/ling micro allowed Clay to defend. Well-placed turrets everywhere for Mind.

Mind with about 2 control groups of m+m roaming the open ground, Clay with like 7 mutas and a clump of lings. He's taken his third.

ah it's voer man, sunks are broken, clay keeps suiciding lurker ling, and drones just died 100%
|
Not a lot of damage with muta harass, CDRdude, Mind had well-placed well-timed turrets. He's posting up outside of Clay's nat, nm, he's broken it. Missed the mid-game clash due to GOM stream failing.
|
always fun watching mind pwn some newbs
|
Wasn't so long ago people were trashing Mind as a noob, heh.

mind has the best muta defense (for terran) in the entire world watch his games against jaedong and plenty of other top tier zergs and show me someone who so consistently negates any form of mutalisk harass ..
i'm not saying his TvZ is the best (though its really damn good), but simply his ability to deal with mutas is without peer
*Edit* Also clay GG's, mind wins easy
|
Mind is just beast at times, and then at others he isnt. I think he needs to stop going for the sunk break though unless its pretty clear he will succeed, cause thats how he lost to lux.
|
Has he faced 2hatch muta lately? I feel like 3hatch muta hasn't been working for months against any Terran, much less Mind. Been a lot more lurker sightings lately; seems like Zerg are adapting at last.

WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BACKHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo

probe checks the 5 o clock expos and sees nothing, checks nat then 12 o clcok, but doesnt know it's 4 hatch b/c that 4th hatch is hidden.
zero going 4 hatch hydra.

That was a pretty impotent 9pool...

going to be interesting since backho prolly thinks it's a 3 hatch lair -> spire (scourge) -> 4th hatch build.

well, backho gets stargate.
we'll see how the timign works, chances are zero will bust him.
|
thedeadhaji

1 zeal harass to the 12 expo, since backho sees that there are very few lings.
1 drone dies, 2 get 2 hits but zero escapes them well.

thedeadhaji

backho going for the typical sair -> reaver -> goons build. support bay coming up.
he has liek 6 cannons at the front now since he now sees the 4 hatch hydra before lair buidl from zero.
|
thedeadhaji

I honestly think that zero has lost his timign window.
evo coming up, lair has finished at the 4th hidden ahtch.
spire starts now.
1st sair still alive and harassing, it has 1 kill on it.
|
thedeadhaji

oh there's 2 sairs now, wandering around scouting zero's main.
OL suiciding into backho's main and sees support bay and core spinning.
hydras moving down teh map but..... reaver = cant go in i'd think.

Man, zero looks so young.

5th hatch at 12 expo highground.

zero hides all his ols at the top left corner of themap -_-
backho moves out with zeal reaver, zero has a good hydra flank, kills everythign but 3 dts push back zero, b/c no OLs around.
6 sairs go for an OL raid at zero's nat and kill 2-3 ols.
|
Backho = Bisu redux?
That storm drop was sick.

3 dts and sairs go into the 12 highgroudn expo, lowground hatch as spore and sunk but highground only has sunk.

backho comign into the 12 expo from the left side, storms thrown on hydras and dlurkers, haha a lot of shit is dyign actually lol oh god nice storms dude but haha backho pushed back anyways.

backho mvoing aroudn the middle with like pure zealots, with a few hts 2 archons and a reaver in shuttle.
lurker ling easily blocks him from attackign the nat.

DRAGOON = 0

Backho is terribad, Fakesteve was right for not including him on the Powerrank.
|
thedeadhaji
39489 Posts
if (zerg == lurker) { dragoon = 0; }
|
Well, he overspent on a half-assed reaver/sair that didn't do any damage, then tried to use mass storms as a substitute for observers. His templar drops were sick, but Zero's economy was just too strong by then.
|
I honestly doubt that equation holds true, Haji. Rather, I think "Dragoon = 0" is entered into his programming before the game begins. : p
|
Haha Backho fails again. I can't believe anyone voted for him much less 596 people.
|
I expected ZerO to win after Bisu said Athena was a hard map for PvZ, but I definitely didn't expect that. BackHo always surprises me. Go BackHo!
|
Haji, you want this match or you feel like taking a break?
|
Well, here comes the map that is 0-9 for Zerg. (Okay, so Zerg does have a win, a ZvZ win, that is).

Sometimes i find it hard to bear the pure brutality of pro Starcraft. Players you come to love perpetually struggle and fade away ever so quickly (with some exceptions). Starcraft is the most heartbreaking sport followable as far as i am aware.

i always saw each OSL/MSL season as one "starcraft year" in other sports, esp since the players careers are so short
imo they should've had all the player contracts negotiated by season rather than by year, it avoids players like savior getting paid 40k/yr while he dominates leagues, then getting a huge contract of 200k/yr as he slumps into the b-team
better for everyone if contracts were redone every few months

he wins osl, then crashes and burns.
And had the best record in proleague later on...
Blackho >>> Xellos, Boxer, Ra, Yellow, Garimto, etc etc.
The level of play is so high one small mistake and you lose horribly. That's the fact of current progaming. No more room for fancy play like in the past. Just because a player loses to another really good player, both much stronger than Boxer, that doesn't mean they are not really really good progamers.
Same with Rock.That guy also always gets bashed. But over and over he qualifies for MSL and OSL, beating extremely though opponents.

well the armies clash, and mind survives with 2 rines and backho loses all zeals.
backho has forge, putting up a cannon and nexus at his nat.

2/4 rines die as backho loses 1 zeal. 2nd zeal dies as 1/4 rines die at nat.

mind's cc is done, and he puts up 2 factories, 1 gets addon right away.

hmm double upgrades spinning for mind, you'd THINK this is vult... wait vults already have speed....
i'm confused.
shuttle out for backho.
4 goliaths wandering around the middle of the map, trying to intercept the shuttle probably.
|
your not missing much, mind is just moving around with a few vultures, goliaths, and rines. Trying to form a perimeter and get some harrasement in.
|
Backho with three gateways pumping goons plus a shuttle with a reaver plus some observers. Mind with vultures and goliaths. He's mined the likely drop spots, which backfires as a zealot drags one into three scvs.

Wow, excellent split attack by Backho, he attacks Mind's third with dragoons and drops a reaver at his main. He then proceeds to get his shuttle shot down.

Backho will beat you 3v1 if you cloned yourself 2 times, ty.
He has the best reaver micro on the scene right now. Watch more of his games and read less posts bashing him.

4 facts for mind, with starport doen as well so he'll get +2 soon.
7 gates for backho. ebay done for mind, prolly for pushing to the middle.
|
Backho adds three gateways to make 7 total. He's behind and he knows it. Mind just biding his time and waiting for the critical mass to push out.

Backho macroing hard, he's got like a control group of zealots and dragoons each plus high templar. Mind flying around with vultures like he does. A storm drop from Backho kills like 5 SCVs.

backho is goon heavy, moving into mind's highground.
backho kills a turret behind mind's min only with areaver.
so that shuttle has like 2 ht and 1 reaver.
Oo ht dropped on the highground and storm kilsl 5 scvs at the min only.
OH GOD a 2 HT + reaver suicide mission on the min only, kills about 15 scvs, almost ALL of them at the nat.
|
And another storm/reaver drop hits Mind's nat just as he's about to push out. Huge damage, at least 10 scvs down.

Binary toss indeed. Mind never even got half a push.

Equal surprise thus far. But then option one adds the fact that Zero went 2-0 - thus I vote for option 1.
Wait... WTF? Mind lost to a zerg with an 11% ZvT?! How the fuck does a zerg with above 50% in mirror matches wind up 11% vT? Maps?

Well, getting raped in the semis after your MSL win is pretty much one hit wonder if that is all you really accomplished.
