NaDa < Destination > sAviOrThis is it, THE match of the day. But as much i would like the maestro to rise again, his ZvT has not been stellar recently. NaDa however, while not playing many TvZ recently, is undeafeated in this matchup since february. NaDa < Athena 2 > free[gm]Yes NaDa have loose than win in his last TvP but those were against A-class protosses. I think he can take on free.but this could go either way. Dongrae < Athena 2 > sAviOr sAviOr is no more in his Prime, But Dongrae should not be a problem for him free[gm] < Byzantium 2 > sAviOrThe maestro will advance, nothing else to say. + Show Spoiler [Results] +
Free > Dongrae Nada > Savior Free > Nada ====> Free advances to ro16 Savior > Dongrae Nada > Savior ===> Nada advances to ro16

i hope for nada and free. but free always fails T_T
|
Free should be able to take down Dongrae however it's a new map and new maps are always a bit tricky. The backdoor way through the neutral building seems like a Terran feature. When Forgg played Iris he made the backdoor along with siegetanks seem almost imba. So it will be interesting to see how it can be utilized TvP.
Savior against Nada could go either way, destination looks reasonably balanced and rather Mutafriendly with the cliff behind the natural. I voted savior mostly due to the fact that i like him more. And partly because he can command the game in the direction he wants whereas nada simply will have to counter.
The deciding part of this group is the matches on the Terran heaven that is Athena. For both free and savoir it would be preferable to have the terrans go at eachother while they can have a fair and balanced game. However if free and savior faces the Terrans on athena my prediction is that both will lose.
So my vote went: Free>Dongrae Savior>Nada Savior>Free Nada>Dongrae Free>Nada
|
Maestro~~~
I said
Free > Dongrae Savior > Nada Savior > Free Nada> Dongrae Free> Nada
|
Liquibet ranks are gonna fall over this one.
|
nada savior pleaseeeee i have the sickening feeling that dongrae is going to make it out of this group though.

I've got Nada beating Savior, but both advancing: free beats Dongrae, but definitely not Savior.

Stream is available via Gom as well.

|
Free and Nada are the probable, they are also the two I want to win. Which will probably get the book thrown at me by Savior fans.
|
Nada gogo clubbing MJY to death!!
fuck, two nobodys fighting before the awesomeness happens.
dongraeeeeeeeeeh
|
dongrae looks like such a scrub
|
|
I Somehow i cant watch the live stream on Daum -_-. I can watch KTF vs SKT though :/
Does someone have an alternate stream ?
|
GAME STARTING! Medusa. Free at bottom, Dongrae right.
|
dongrae is actually hell of good though
I watched his MSL qualifier games and he is pretty fucken beastly
|
fuck this gonna go study while waiting for savior to come on
|
Free at 7, Dongrae at 3. 7 pylon for free, 8 supply for dongrae.
|
free with 1 gate gas, dongrae makes a rax and takes his gas
free is scouting top first, dongrae hasn't started scouting yet.
|
free's probe enters dongrae's base, one marine chasing the probe around. dongrae finds free on his first try. free with goon range researching.
factory is done with add-on making.
|
dongrae with 4 marines.
free with one goon moving towards dongrae's main. free adds one more gate.
5 rines vs 2 goons. rines backing off for now. 1 tank with 6 rines chasing the dragoons back. free kills a few rines. free kills all the marines. one tank and one vulture left.
|
free has some pretty nice goon control.
|
obs out for free, with expo just started. dongrae started his expo and 2nd factory. a bit before. the fast obs allows free to get 5 dragoons into dongrae's nat, killling the mines and a sieged tank.
dongrae lifts his expo cc, 5 goons attacking it.
one vulture in free's main killing a couple probes though.
6 dragoons enter dongrae's main.
|
|
|
alot of dragoon-tank exchanges going on in dongrae's main.
free has expanded yet again to the expo behind his main. dragoons attacking sieged tanks but get trapped.
support bay is done for free.
|
free maynards probes to his min-only. 3 goons camping outside dongrae's base for now.
dongrae's floating rax scouts free's min-only expansion. after fending off the dragoons he's quite safe for now.
third gate going up for free, and dongrae starts an expo at his min-only.
|
Fucking sexy reaver from Free
|
the reaver flies around dongrae's base, killing 3 tanks so far with the help of 2 zealots. but very few scvs have been lost.
free has taken another expo though. adding up to 7 gates as well.
|
Very nice shuttle/reaver play from free
|
free looking really strong but dongrae doesn't want to give it up.. I'm really impressed with free's micro though
Also free is expanding like mad now.
|
Lol free has some maynarded probes just pathing badly back and forth
|
dongrae with 7 factories. the shuttle with reaver dies to multiple turrets and a goliath.
free starting his fifth base. a few vultures out scouting the map. the vultures see his fifth base.a high templar drop kills almost all the scvs at dongrae's min-only.
|
Free up to what looks like 9 or 10 gates, teching to arbiters.
|
Is anybody using the monkeygreaser thing from zatic? I dled it and clicked the msl stream, and this playlist thing comes up and I open it with gom tv but doesnt work
|
HT drops cleans up Dongrae min only
|
Dongrae moves out with a timing-push sized force way too late to do any good. Free attack-moves into his nat after crushing his army, looks to be gg any moment.
|
1 stargate for free with another going up. arbiter tribunal also half-done.
dongrae moves out with his tank-vulture-goliath army. nice storms and superior macro from free stop the attack cold though. free is entering dongrae's natural now. high templar kill more scvs at dongrae's nat.
|
free's fpview is so much nicer than dongrae's
|
dongrae ggs.
free > dongrae

Still want Nada/Savior to advance though.

Dongrae was pretty pathetic to be honest. He looked like some C-level ICCup player - seriously, five tanks and a few scv's to a shuttle with two zealots and a reaver. Free just played eztoss mode and rolled over him.

EVERYBODY GET DANGEROUS EVERYBODY GET DANGEROUS!

Whoever's hosting this VLC stream, I love you - it's flawless.

sAviOr looks like he's gonna win this.
HE'S GONNA WIN THIS ALL!!!!
Um, yeah, I'm pretty excited . . .
|
damn, Daum started lagging bad so I tried restarting it. Turns out it's full. Time to install firefox
|
Looking mighty twitchy there Nada!
Scared, or on the Meth?
|
Savior looks pretty nervous too. This is going to be epic.
|
Don't discount DA NA DA, but don't hate on da SAY BA
|
|
Savior looks a lot different from what I remember....but maybe cause I haven't tuned in for ages.

Too much hype on this game.
STARTING WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
NADA TOP SAVIOR BOTTOM
|
Hm, seriously, both look really tense.
As in really.
I can feel it from here . . .
|
Nada @ Top Savior @ Bottom
|
|
Here we go, savior at 5, nada at 11
|
Uh oh, Nada up for some stinky cheese
|
i expect standard 1 rax fe for nada and 3 hatch lair for savior
|
Oh snap, Nada drops an EBAY at Savior's nat!
Epic from the beginning!
|
Nada sends out a fast scout, stops at Savior's nat. He starts an engineering bay there to stop the fast expo.
|
|
no way attacking the ebay with 5 drones is beneficial why doesn't he just make the hatch above it or somewhere else
|
5 drones attacking the engineering bay. Savior kills it and starts his nat. Nada with 2 rax. Savior's pool is half done, and he's collecting gas.
|
Nada transitions into 2-rax, Savior with an overpool into the nat hatch.
|
no scouting Savior???????
|
savior 2 hatch lair, most likely fast mutas
|
Fast lair for Savior, Nada scouts it. A pair of lings out to chase the SCV .
|
Very fast lair for Savior
|
Is he going hive rush again?
|
Nada still hasn't expoed yet. Six lings out scouting the map. Spire is half done.
|
Spire going down for Savior, looking like 2-hatch muta.
|
Nada moves out with a group of MnM, no sunks down for savior!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
are you serious? :S MA JAE YOON WHERE ARE YOU?
|
Nada rapes the shit out of Savior's lings and morphing sunks, this is over.
|
bat with 9 drone kills, mutas die
GG by savior

All the drones and mutalisks are gone. Savior ggs.

On man, firebat versus drones.
Zatic, I love you.
|
|
seriously attacking the ebay with 5 drones was so bad
|
I swear this is how savior loses, man. Scout!!!
|
|
Whoa. Nada rolled over Savior before mutas popped out. So anticlimactic.
|
|
Braavos36375 Posts
ok just
just shoot me
seriously
|
Fast Hive is so obvious it isn't even funny anymore. : (
|
I hope they meet in the final matchup again, and this time savior can win.
|
Well, hopefully Savior rips through Dongrae.
|
is it just me or could basically any halfway decent terran have won that game
so so so disappointing
|

yeah, no scouting is the main reason.

So teamliquid gives all this hype and its over in less than 10 minutes?

Hotbid's Savior Watch might be over pretty soon.

if savior had killed that scout nada wouldnt have so carlessly stimmed his marines in to saviors nat. If saviors lings would have gone more left bound and got the scv, savior would ahve took the game

What happened to the Sexy Maestro?...At least either free or NaDa gets to advance next set? x< ?

actually, jk he's not a dick but still..

True dat. But then, he will play again and people will give him one more chance all over again

This isn't even about the general skill level of players rising and going beyond what it was a few years ago - Savior just sucks shit.

It does show up in the sidebar, you just have to give it like ten to fifteen seconds after refreshing.

considering how poorly he played, i dont think even firebat hero would waste a ceremony on that
|
Whoring has really been a problem for him eh?
|
I love Nal_ra's nonstop stare at the camera

and nal_ra in commentator style suit and headseat is lol

Maybe Savior threw the match so he would fight Dongrae instead of Free...
Yes...that must be it...yes...yes it is...

don't worry, savior will get another crack at nada tonight.

And then he'll own Nada on Byzantium! Yes, it'll be orchestrated perfectly...making them lower their guard and then BAM!

Both players looking pretty standard for now, and neither is scouting.

Free opens 1 gate core Nada 1 rax gas.
Nada scouts free on his first try
|
May it be the Korean chatting that delays the stream? Do us a shut up pls :S
|
Nada scouts Free first, sees a second gate going down, looks to be going siege-expand, starting his CC above his nat.
|
free adds a 2nd gate, nada has 1 fac with addon making.
nada starts his 2nd cc in his base.
|
nada does the rax above marine trick. free starts his expo as well.
nada drops an ebay. free attempts to attack up the ramp and kills a few marines, but a 2nd tank holds them off. free loses no goons.
|
Fairly fast ebay from nada, doesn't look like Free's doing anything sneaky, just taking his nat.
|
|
Or not, Free has a very fast stargate. Are we seeing some form of STOVE?
|
lol free you're so silly fast arbs are for silly people
|
god damn. 4th pvt I've seen in a row involving what looks like a reaver > carrier switch ... so boring
|
nada starts his 2nd factory. a few tanks and marine in his base to defend vs drops.
free's support bay is done, and he also has completed a stargate. fleet beacon now making for fast carriers...
|
Oh, looks like we're seeing 2-base carriers from Free. Reavers coming soon, Nada looks fairly well turtled up.
|
|
WOW, 2 bases reaver CARRIER ?
|
Fee's Ballsy 2 gate carrier...and Free's still on 1 gate.
|
Where is he getting the gas?
|
Free looks to be taking the bottom main, made a pylon wall.
|
5 unsieged tanks to defend the incoming reaver. free prepares to expo at 6. nada starts 2 more factories for a total of 4.
|
|
|
nada moving out a bit with 8-ish tanks and a few vultures. 2 carriers are out for free.
|
Nada throwing up a lot of facs for a terran on 2 bases. He's pushing out.
|
AWW no armory when Carriers are out already, looks bad for NADA
|
In retrospect, that was rpetty impressive. Free's stopping Nada's push with 1 reaver, 2 zeals, and a shuttle.
|
Free still doesn't have carrier capacity upgrade, will likely have to show his hand.
|
he should definitely have retreated there
|
And Nada's screwed. If he makes it to the Ro16, it's goign to be by the skin of his teeth.
|
nada's push is crushed, free attacking nada's nat with carrier goon combo...
|
I'm not sure how that worked, but it worked perfectly for Free.
|
both savior and nada lose due to poor scouting
|
savior vs nada final here we come?
|
i love how free made three pylons and put a goon behind at 6 just to make nada think he was going for a macro game
|
as goons advance up his ramp, nada ggs.
|
|
I wonder why the Flash build isn't used as often. It's specifically designed players who play like this (not only the carriers, but the reaver too). Progamers apparently don't feel comfortable in said games.
|
...that means only one of them advances. God dammit, free. He probably cheated. ><
That being said, well played by free. I enjoy watching him. But I'm still disappointed.

Nada's macro advantage from the earlier expo and the lack of significant harass really fell flat there.
|
Jaedong trying to say "intel classic" cracks me up
|
|
The commercial for the TG sambo intel classic is a lot better than MSL's intro, which sucked.
|
His expo was not earlier than frees,
2 gate goon to nexus > 1 factory expand
That's the nature of Protoss.
Only chance he woulda had is if he scanned the carriers and pushed REAL EARLY.
|
(what the fuck is wrong with the ktf vs skt1 broadcasting, they're showing the commentators like 1/3 of the time and thus missing parts of the game)
|
i dont see dongrae losing to savior. so looks like nada and free

I wanted both nada and savior. Savior has to win two ZvT's in a row to advance now. Nada 1 TvT/ZvT.
My money is on nada.

And I don't like nal_ra's voice. And was savior crying?

Maybe NADA thought this map is not carrier friendly and he expected a long macro name. but true, Flash build is very strong vs reaver , even it is not followed by Carrier

You prefer an "honorable victory?" So, all these players are supposed to play nicely, and allow each other to gain 200/200 armies? Guile, cunning, strategy etc. This is all part of this game. NaDa saw that Savior was completely open, so he went for the kill. Should he have waited and not taken the opportunity that Savior didn't have sunkens? Their job is to win. NaDa has been plenty entertaining during his 6 year career.
Try telling any gamer or athlete that their job is to please the crowd.

Dongre, why the hell are you still on one base? MJY isn't even that good at micro'ing mutalisks.
Chrosos, I think you're going to get a lot of trouble for that. The classic example will be Boxer versus Yellow 3 bunker rushes in a row.

Savior should have this if he doens't fuck up too bad, 3-rax is almost an all-in.

This game resembles more like something we'd see from Hery vs Mumyung than anything else

wow dongrae you're so LULZ finally a decent flank by savior
|
Dongrae FINALLY expanded.. when he completely mined out. Why has Savior not won purely on absolute econ advantage? o.o"

How the hell is this game so close? And there's no way defilers are out by now.
Nice flank by Savior, unable to trap most of Dongrae's forced.
But he does at Dongrae's nat.

Sorry is playing fine, his opening build overpool/gas /expo/early lair .... got super countered 3 rax and he basicly built 6 mutas kept them alive forever, made a few lings, faced a giant unscouted 24~mnm army at his natural with only 4 eggs morphing and 2 sunkens and lived, and basicly pushed into the terran main 2 twices and didn't finish it, He has the game won and is playing super, he is just not zeroing in and ended it, like a jaedong/luxury would be able todo in the situation.
After finally getting his Nat he is facing speed/vullture/sci/tank/rine+medic defence and even those he's on his 4th base hasn't been able to end him.

LOL so savior makes a dark swarm with only lings in front of a control group of marines. Dongrae's marines MOVE UP and attack the lings under the swarm, savior takes forever to consume and cast plague, but it doesn't matter because dongrae's rines just sat there shooting the swarm. This is pathetic

i think it started out as more of a problem with micro and decision making savior couldn't pull off his flanks but delayed dongrae's 2nd well but then decided to push unnecessarily into the main and wasted quite a few lurks making his army smaller than it should have been dongrae just ... idk his build was so all-in the game was over after he failed his first attack, but savior somehow managed to drag it out 10 minutes long than he should have
but at least savior's got angry lings

Poll: If sAviOr played Tossgirl right now, who would win? (Vote): sAviOr (Vote): Tossgirl (Vote): stupid poll
Um, yeah.

my theory is that savior desperately wants to recreate his macro-zerg style from the days of bonjjwa. So he drags out a game 3x longer than it should have gone so he can get defiler, ultra, nydus canal, many hatches etc. except now his game is just so off that it's hard to believe it's the same Ma Jae Yoon.

I don't care if savior barely wins each game that he wins for the rest of his career, as long as he is able to win between 55-60% of them

I definitely think TossGirl can play better than Dongrae just did.

2 hatch muta. This map sucks for zergs, too. But that 9 pool delayed Nada more than it should have.

His ebay's already up and Savior's muta micro is mediocre. And Nada went 2 rax academy, so he missed his timing window anyways.

Don't lose Nada.

Savior got really really close, bringing nada down to 3 marines and a few tanks at one point, but after that attack failed this game is probably over.

2 base Terran >> 2 base zerg, if the harass wasn't effective.
To make matters worse...2 base HIVE ZERG

most disappointing 3 games by savior ever

you missed an "a" there, girl

Did Savior not get his third because he just didn't care anymore?

care to take a 3rd savior?

Depressing game from Savior in the end. Only Free really played well in this group. : (

Lame.
Turtle terran always beats someone using an aggessive start.

Savior should just retire.

I think Nada can make it to semis in this MSL.

Savior had so many advantages early on...he should've taken that game...like seriously...
What, with killing the early depot, then reducing NaDa to no more than like 4-6 marines at a time...why didn't he take a third, instead of gloriously trying, but failing to han bang nada?

While that looked really, really bad from savior, on one level I'm glad to see it. Since he can no longer pull off his management style at the highest level, he's trying to change to a more aggressive style, more like July or maybe Jaedong. While I'm sad that he lost, it give me a little bit of hope that he's trying new things, and maybe he can find a new style that suits him.

Wow. Just look at this thread. Disgust all around everywhere because of Savior's play. It's amazing how his games just pull at the heartstrings of so many TL.netters. There's always hope for a comeback, - a revival - but it never comes. After his performance here tonight, are we finally done riding this roller coaster? The next time he qualifies for something or wins a Proleague game, can we finally just chalk it up to dumb luck?
Never has such a dominant player fallen so low. Even when he was with Ace, Boxer never played this badly. When Boxer loses, people don't think "Dear God, please retire and stop letting me see you playing like this".
Savior - the most dominant player to hit the scene, but man what a way to crash and burn. This series was the final nail in the coffin. There is no resurrection. This is the end.

What I don't understand is why MJY didn't have his lings (or at least one) in front of Nada's base. Seriously, all his lings were hanging out at his natural; he was completely in the dark in terms of spotting Nada's rush timing and only found out when the rines were like 2/3 across the map.

Quoting just to say how much I agree with this, everyone on TL is so very harsh when it comes to both praise and scorn

I'm actually very impressed and happy with the result despite being an incredibly huge sAviOr fan. What I saw in his play was something suprisingly inspired and no way near as dull as it used to be.
His build was also new and interesting, I don't think I've ever seen someone go 2hatch mutas and then switch to lurkers before expoing before, and I can't wait to see where this build could lead. I'm thinking it could possibly be a good counter to almost everything the terran can do.
Even though an advancement would be most satisfying for us maestro fans, I'm actually really excited about what he might do in the future. Who said that a comeback needs to be instant and glamorous? I thought this was the strongest in TvZ I've seen him since Daum, and I hope PL start soon so that we can see if my excitement is unfounded or not.

I wanted to see sAviOr advance one last time... But two NaDa vs. sAviOr matches is nothing to be sad about, and good for NaDa. Another old-timer comeback? Maybe, just maybe.
|
savior played scared. some psychological issues for sure. the way he microed his mutas so passively and the zerglings too. he could have done so much more with mutas, but he ran away scared. he could have killed the follow up force of mnm with his muta ling, and he would have killed that one firebat. little things like that just show you how he was playing. even when he rushed in with his lurker ling, it was more of an act of desperation, like he was just throwing his hands up in the air and (knowing in the back of his head it probably will not work), leaving everything to chance,,, and being on some level 'ok' with losing. i wish he would regain his confidence and play calmly and remain cool-headed no matter what they throw at him like he would before.

I can't stand watching the final game again, but here's what I thought. The build was not that horrible and should have worked better. You can argue that the agressive all in play shows a lack of confidence, but Savior liked to mix it up with rush play when he was good as well.
The two base hive was just a formality since the game was over by then, he wanted to kill Nada earlier. And he should have, but the execution was just off. Mutas did a poor job when there were plenty of opportunities to do damage, and he just wasted units instead of attacking when the marine force was split. And it looked like the first 4 lurkers were caught off guard and died for nothing? If so, that's a horrible mistake which won the game for Nada right there.
It makes me bitter that Savior seemed to be in control but died to newbie mistakes. If he doesn't even have his nerves left there is no hope
|
that first game, i just knew he was going to lose because JY didn't scout properly, while Nada saw the early Hive and the expo. I called it gg at around 7:00 when the overlord didn't see the two bunkers. I didn't even bother watching the rematch it was all too upsetting for me.

The better man won and thats that. Savior just doesnt have it anymore. Sorry fanboys.

Compared to his game versus Dongrae, it's like he had an epiphany or something. But his 2 base hive has since proved he needs like 3 or 4 more. But Savior played with confidence. Running into Nada's natural breaking it several times almost won him the game. A move like that would not have been done by a Savior 2-3 months ago. I think that if he stuck with lurk-ling while taking a third gas he would have won as opposed to going 2-base hive.

I never liked Savior when he was at his peak - He was the unstoppable villian, the bad guy who constantly foiled the plans of (my) heroes from achiving fruitition. Watching games where he out-played everyone in a stone-cold manner with such minute control over the entire game that you felt his opponents didn't stand any chance at all from the start was frustrating to say the least. I hated him, and all that his gay 3 hatch and hive shit stood for .
But now, I miss the old Savior. Why? Because I loved to hate him. He was the perfect villian.
Each loss against Savior was like a lament to the death of Starcraft in my mind, and when turned around, victories from any other kind of game felt like lesser victories. Whenever anyone, or even better, one of my own favourites managed to take a game from him, there was hoorraying, fist-pumping and FUCK-YEAHing to such a degrees that nothing else could come close.
As much as Savior's domination felt like a never-ending 'down' period, the 'ups' were comparedly just that much more awesome back then too, no matter how small they were in the big scheme of things - and that's what I miss.
Currently, Starcraft is in a dire lack of a good supervillian. Well, I guess it wouldn't be the same for me personally since the old guard of my favourites aren't really around as real contenders anymore, and I've yet to find someone in the new generation of players that'd inspire me to the point of going "fuck yeah, kid, you're the fucking man". Flash was on a good way to attain something similar to Savior's status from my own perspective(an utterly boring player to watch, that frustratingly raped everyone with perfection no matter what), but then quickly crumbled into the leagues of normal progamer mortalness. I guess the nature of SC today, what with the game having been pushed so far and the players keeping on pushing themselves to the utter limit just doesn't lend itself very well for longtime super-dominant players anymore - no one has a limitless supply of energy, after all.
Ah well, I'll keep on waiting.

The final game with Savior vs Nada was good. Not sure why people are complaining. A few more lings and Nada may had lost. If Savior's build was so bad, Nada should be able to finish off Savior a lot earlier. Savior lost all of his units in that allin with lurkers/lings so he really needed defilers after that to stay in the game.
Despite the lost, I trust Savior knows what he is doing. It's not like he didn't practice this build with other top pros.
