Nice job Fantasy. Scouted the 2 base carrier and moved out immediately to crush Pure before carriers became dangerous.

gonna have to agree here, It would be a miracle if Wemade wins this.

I'd feel that way if SKT1 didn't just blow a 2-0 lead against ESTRO.
|
|
|
YAY! Fantasy ftw. I knew you could do it, Neo-Boxer ^^
I think Mind will win over Rumble, but you never know. Mind is the favorite here.
And if Hyuk wins, SKT1's chance of winning will be really high since keke isn't...so good =P
|
Hungary11300 Posts
Mind is brown top right, Rumble yellow bottom left on Andromeda(?).
|
|
|
Hungary11300 Posts
Looks like 12 hatch for Rumble. Mind goes with depot / raxx in main base. He scouts bottom right first. Rumble expanding at the low ground first.
White dude in audience, woohoo.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
Pool after 2nd hatch for Rumble. Devilmascot has found a victim. Mind expanding to his lowground too, as there is not much Zerg threat. Rumble going third hatch at his high ground min only.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
2nd raxx going up for Mind, sends down two marines. Sunken building for Rumble who also gets Gas. Gas going for Mind too. Stream lag t_t
Academy for Mind too, standard TvZ so far.
Rumbler getting evo chamber and lair at his natural.
|
dammit i missed the first game 
|
Hungary11300 Posts
Rumbler is actually not a bad name.
Mind retreats his initial marines. Rumble is getting a hydra den upon reaching tier 2, which is sort of bad timing if he wanted to go straight into lurkers. +1 attack coming for Mind who has a decent amount of MM.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
Rumble looks like slow dropping a drone to the 12 Island and expanding there, but he hasnt done it yet.
Straight queen's nest! He is relying on 4 sunkens for his defense at the moment. Bunch of MM moiving out and Starport going up for Mind.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
Mind rallying up in front of the Zerg natural. 5 sunkens there and 2 lurkers morphing. Spire coming too, finally. Expansion going up at 12, where indeed a drop happened.
2nd expansion at 6 island too. This looks like a fun strat from Rumble, straight into ultras from 4 gas. Or even greater spire?
|
Hungary11300 Posts
Sci Vessel is coming for Mind. Either Mind will get horribly crushed by early ultras or Rumble is going to get ran over within seconds.
Defiler mound coming for Rumble too now. Morphing one more sunken on high ground.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
Rumble is securing his islands with nydus channels. Mind still makes no move to attack, Ultra cavern is morphing now. Rumble must have a TON of gas saved up by now. Mind is adding tanks now, so he might begin sieging the sunken wall. He has a dropship too, so maybe he scanned the island expansions.
Mind sieges the min only from low ground. Some drones die. Rumble really under pressure now, he needs those ultras out fast.
Mind dropping top left, kills the nydus channel, but his drop is taken out by zerglings making it. Rumble pushing back the push with some defiler play, using only some lings and 2 lurkers. His min only died to the tanks though. Still no ultras in sight.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
New Nydus channel established at top expansion. I dont think Mind knows that Rumble has the bottom too. He focusses on taking out the top expansion.
First ultras are done for Rumble who is rebuilding his min only. Slow ultras at the moment. MIND attacks! Dark swarms all over the natural and he runs for the moment. 4 ultras are defending for Rumble and he shows nice swarm placement here. Drop at top expansion is taking out many drones, but some Ultras manage to stop it for now. Mind tearing into the natural, hardly any defense left for Rumble here, only a single ultra.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
Mind relentlessly irradiating those ultralisks, looks ready to charge the natural once more, but the ultra numbers are growing. Rumble charges the ball heads on and tears it apart!
|
Hungary11300 Posts
During all this, Mind claimed the 3 expansion, putting him on 4 base. (one mineral). Rumble has broken the contain now and still holds two islands. Mind on pure SK Terran at the moment. Hardly any defilers left for Rumble who attacks a marine ball with pure ultra and loses about 6. Gets 2 vessels though.
|
Rumble is in good position now. If he gets a zergling group out to 3-oclock it will be GG
|
Hungary11300 Posts
All save two vessels die, some defilers protect the ultras with swarm. It remains a battle of 3 base terran against 4 gas zerg, so rumble should win this in the long run. Rumble tried taking 9 but is shut down by Mind's mobile ball.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
Some forces find the 3 expansion by mind, but he sends reinforcements instantly. Some SCVS still die. Rumble needs to concentrae his forces more, this way he is wasting them most of the time. His expansions are not running on a high level, very few drones on minerals. Mind macroing very well here and has about 6 vessels again.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
In some way this reminds me of GGplay vs. Stork. Something about this turtling. Rumblee engages a bunch of MM and kills some, but cannot maintain a steady number of ultralisks.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
Once more Mind shuts down the expansion at 9. Rumble attacking the 3 again and this time the SCVs will suffer. Rumble's macro appears to be picking up by now, but his new ultras catch irradiates almost instantly and make the zerglings near them pop too. Erasered sci vessels help a push into the zerg natural. Mind is tearing everything apars and rumble is defending - but no avail. This should be gg soon.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
Rumble ggs out finally. Fun strat, but really nice play by Mind.
|
Woooo Mind wins ! yea, Thanks for the nice LR Aesop.

A few lurkers would have helped defend the nat. And more scourage / plague on vessels to keep his ultras alive.

MSL SEASON 3 REPLAY!
|
Hungary11300 Posts
Yo, we are almost going with game 3 with Hyuk against RorO. Everyone will still hate Hyuk from losing the acematch against eSTRO.
|
Please at least win this one, Hyuk. Redeem yourself for the epic fail against estro.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
Game started! Hyuk is blue and RorO is brown. Hyuk spawned bottom, RorO top.
|
Roro brown top, Hyuk blue bottom.
|
|
|
Hungary11300 Posts
Missed the beginning a bit. Both teching to lair, RorO is expanding to the left, Hyuk adding a 2nd hatch to his main base. Apart from hatch placement, not much difference in BOs.
Spire starts for both.
|
First difference: Roro expands at nat while Hyuk builds hatch in main
|
Hungary11300 Posts
Both are sending out some zerglings at the time being. Roro obviously defending his expansion hatch and Hyuk having his lings near that. If Roro can establish another source of gas, he is obviously ahead. Both have eggs morphing now upon completed spire. Lets see what happens!
|
Hungary11300 Posts
Extractor building for roro at his expansion. Roro is pure muta while Hyuk has 1 set of scourge with his mutas. Some lings die to the mutas of Hyuk, but the first muta battle will probably be decisive.
Lings of Hyuk are caught by Mutas, so he loses some. Hyuk attacking the main base of Roro! Kills 4-5 drones there and retreats. Huge move right there.
Muta battle, Hyuk retreats for the moment. Lings being rallied to Hyuks main base, but Mutas are there to defend.
ACtually the mutas have to run and MANY drones are dieing to the lings. Hyuk in deep trouble now, having lost near all drones.
|
Hyuk heads straight to Rors nat killes some lings and goes back to his base. Both with muta ling. Hyuk used lings to distract roro and went to his main and killed several drones. Muta fight which Roro wins. Roro sending some lings to Hyuk which has no defense. Muta lings now in hyuk base causing havoc . All drones but one are dead hyuk seems to be losing.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
Hyuk goes to counter at the main base, but his mutas are repelled by scourge muta. ROro's dual gas paying off and Hyuk ggs.
BOOOO.
|
GG Roro wins... come one Best!
|
It would be pretty epic if keke wins Best..... somehow.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
Well keke beat tossgirl, so he can do it!!!

If Best wins again only for Hyuk to fail in the ace, I will not be pleased. : <

Hungary11300 Posts
Ok, we are on Destination. Top position is brown keke, bottom is BeSt coloured in blue.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
BeSt with pylon at his natural, FE coming. Hope he picked up some from Bisu who looked rock solid on it in his Gom matches.
9pool gas for keke.
|
Best scouts and sees 9 pool. Builds a forge immediatly.
|
Cum on Skt,don't fuck up against an aother mediocre team,like you did against Estro. Go Best!
|
Best is confident and builds nex before cannon. Now he builds 2 cannons. Lings coming.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
Forge warping in for Best, first lings are morphing for keke. That timing is DAMN close and BeSt only has a single cannon so far. 2nd warping in just this second. keke turns back however and does not attempt a runby. BeSt already pulled probes, but now his scouting probe sees the lings recalled.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
dual expansion for keke now, natural and right hand base. Gas incoming for BeSt and nexus at his natural done.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
Lair started for keke now, Cycore underway for BeSt, pretty standard buildings so far. Dual gas for BeSt already. Stargate is warping.
|
Stargate started for best. Spire for Keke
|

the tiny player is like listening to the radio for me to day, only screenshots from time to time but the commentators keep talkin

Hungary11300 Posts
keke getting a spire and powering his economy hard. BeSt now with a third cannon and first corsair coming. No tech besides Stargate at the time being.
correction: Robofac at his natural, so reaversair coming.
|
Seems like he'll be gonig reaver sairs.
|
Hydra den immediatly starts after corsair leaves Keke's main. Some scourage out and they ake one corsair while they were killing ovi.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
keke looks to be getting his first batch of Mutas. Air attack upgrading for BeSt. First scourge out to hunt corsairs. keke is really macroing hard here. He has a flock of scourge chasing corsairs now, manages to shoot one down. This is rather good as it will delay the critical mass corsairs. He is expanding to top right too, so he will have 6 hatcheries soon! BeSt is finally getting a citadel and some more gateways. keke is in a real stable state now.
|
The othe scouage killed. Only 2 left. He has reaver and shuttle now, and warping 3 gates.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
Best loses yet another corsair, this is getting critical, as he cannot move out with his shuttle anytime soon and keke is building up strong. Already a batch of hydras is out for him, Some overlords at his natural, maybe he even wants to drop?
|
Russian Federation4333 Posts
God Best is horrible with his sairs...
|
Hungary11300 Posts
BeSt is pumping zealots now and getting an observatory. Hydras are heading down the map. BeSt appears ready to move out, but sees a flock of hydras.
|
Hydra going to Bests nat but reaver fends them off. He wants to harrass with reaver desides not to.
|
Russian Federation4333 Posts
Maybe it's not a good idea to go for sair heavy PvZ play.

BeSt loses one more corsair that was meant to escort his shuttle. He needs to wait for more. Zealot leg speed done finally and templar archives warping. keke has 4 bases though, manye hydras and overlords. Pure hydra might lose to reavers though. BeSt pushing out with maybe 16 lots, reaver shuttle and sairs. Burrowed hydras want to snipe the shuttle and manage to!
|

Wow Keke burrows some hydra AND KILL SHUTTLE! Best is behind.Althought hehas a nice group of zealots Keke has too many hydra.
|
man best just isn't good versus zerg
|
Hungary11300 Posts
This breaks the back of the push for the moment. Hydras burrow and are saved from lots. BeSt losing many zealots here. This might end quite soon, very smart play by keke so far. Many hydras heading down and nearly he loses some more sairs.
BeSt setting up a third, but there is like 3 groups of hydras incoming to that base. Many cannons warping and a reaver too for defense. But damn those are MANY hydras. Lurkers burrowing in front of the expo but an observer is there and a reaver snipes two lurkers.
|
Russian Federation4333 Posts
Best with a terrible reaction to the ninja hydras.
Moves his shuttle back toward them, then forward again and manages to not dump the reaver.
Best is getting played.
|
A lot of hydra for keke. Best is trying to get his third. It is well defended but all the hydras ans lurk are heading there.
|
|
|
Hungary11300 Posts
If BeSt can enter crazy macro mode, get some storms, and keke stays pure hydra / lurker he might have a chance. But keke is seding out a bunch of mutas towards his base. Only two corsairs are there, but keke still retreats.
|
Russian Federation4333 Posts
Best you suck with sair reaver PvZ, stick to zeal/goon/templar man.
|
Mutas out for Keke. Only one cannon in main!
|
Keke is massing a huge army. I dont think Best can do much...
|
Hungary11300 Posts
two evos are getting upgrades for keke now. He is harassing BeSt's natural probes but some dragoons and an archon prevent greater harm. Smart play by keke still. Shuttle heading up for harass, no idea about the content. Hive tech incoming for keke.
|
Mutas are not doint much damage, just skilled some probes. Best has archons and goons.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
shuttle drop, huge storms take out a bunch of drones at keke's main base, but keke is already in big macro mode. DT snuck to top right and is cutting apart many drones there!
|
Russian Federation4333 Posts
Nevermind Best is raping now. Killer ht drop and dt. Drone holocaust!!
|
Some nice storms kill like 8 drones. AND SHUTTLE had a dt thats killing lots o f dones at an exp. killed like 8 drones as well. Nice play by best!
|

Keke lost like.. TWENTY drones in that sequence.
|
Wow dt causing havoc in another base now. Killed like 7 or 8 more drones.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
Actually decent harass by BeSt if he wants to come back in this game, thats the way.
DT dies with 16 kills on it!!
BeSt pushing out of his natural against millions of hydras. Retreats for the moment. Finally gets reaver support but there are many lurkers burrowed. No storms thrown yet, pure goon reaver against hydra / lurker / muta.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
Mutas come in to snipe reavers, but the goons kill them! BeSt is pushing out and keke is diminished by reavergoon!
|
Goon heavy army starts pushing out with 2 reavers. Muta hydra and lurk for best. All armys confront. Muta aiming at reaver But Bests comes out on top!
|
|
|
Russian Federation4333 Posts

Very nice play by Best. His army is raping!
|
Hungary11300 Posts
BeSt pushing towards the right hand expansion, he has 3-4 reavers by now. keke on pure hydra and those get OWNED by reavers, goons and storm. Huge storms by BeSt right there. He also set up another expansion. The push is almost dead, but now BeST macro is kicking in!
|
Reavers are soooo effective. Some nice storms killes a bunch of hydra! All blood everywere. Best has a fourth min only exp running now.
|
9070 Posts
best is playing PvZ like PvP , goons/reavers + some HTs to back them up
|
Hungary11300 Posts
keke doing well on the defense, not losing any of his bases at the moment, but he definitely is on the defense. Some zealots find the 3 base, but only while running through on their retreat. Pure hydra STILL for keke, although he should be on hive level. He is running low on drones at top left at the moment.

BeSt dropping keke's main with reaver and some zealots. Kills the spawning pool for now. Almost loses the shuttle with the reaver inside, Now he loses it finally.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
BeSt charging the 3 base, has a bunch of HTs there and the hydras just MELT below the storms.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
Those storms were really great, but keke is just rolling and rolling with reinforcements. BESt manages to take out most drones at though. Hydras are running and running and the 3 base will stay alive it seems.
|
|
|
Keke finally killls bests army. H e still has soa bunch of hyras although best is back in game! Another harras in With shuttle + zealots drops at bests main. Shuttle barely survives . Wait shuttle sniped and reaver is killed. Best moving out now., AMAZING STORMS kills abunch of hydra. He's destroying that base.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
BeSt still fails to break the 3 position, morphing archons with his depleted templars now and sending more goons for enforcement. It is hard to see the upgrades at the moment, but I would assume keke to be a bit ahead at the moment. BeSt has to retreat for the moment. He has 4 base still, but the 9 position appears to be free still.
|
how the fuck is keke making so many units after he lost like 25 drones
|
Its a back and forth fight. None has a clear advantage although I'd give Best the win.

FPview shows that keke is actually ahead by like 10-20 supply, so BeSt is in trouble. He is seding another shuttle to harass the top expansion , only dropping zealots though that run into keke's main base. He definitely needs another expansion to stay in this game, as he will be mined out soon on his main bases.
|
Wow keke and Best macro are fucking strong. Neither wants to give up their bases

Best needs another expansion.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
BeSt is seding out what is probably his last big push. STorms hydras left and right but loses his reaver. The problem is not winning but maintaining enough of a ball to combat the constant new hydras being sent by keke. So far the goons are still standing and one reaver is helping them.
|
Another drop incoming. Shuttle has just zealots and drops them randomly in 2 bases. !! Great drop timing.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
BeSt is pushing towards top left where keke's newest expansion stands, but hydras are coming from left and right. Some nice shuttle micro but a scourge takes it. Best looks ready to gg.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
Some zealots and HTs are left to combat the streams of hydras. I do not see him holding.
Zealots die for the most part. Best down to one mining base and even that is almost empty.
|
Awful quality on this game, really. Neither played good at all.
|
Huge battle in middle! Storms kills a lot of hydras but teher are so much of them. I guess Best will win but doesnt have a big enough army to do much damage.
|
Hungary11300 Posts
keke is happily mining away at his stuff. BeSt suiciding some probes for fun. Sending out what is his last force of some z,d,archon and temp.
Mutas now for keke. Final fight, BeSt gets annihilated, keke wins!
|
Omg another shuttle with reaver sniped!
|
Damn, what happened to keke. From a 9 or 10 game losing streak, he's giving Best a hell of a fight. Damn props. Can't wait to see how this turns out.
|

yikes. i hope no one voted for wemade

GG... keke wins. Fuck this why aren't they sending Midas and Bisu???
|
YEAAAA WEMADE WINS , KEKE YOU OWNS!
|
9070 Posts
BeSt "damn, I should listen more to Bisu, maybe he truly understands the PvZ"
On a serious note, BeSt tried to pull a han vs JD, playing very eco heavy game with maybe the most expansive unit mix possible in the PvZ but his control was a disaster. keke sucks as well but best outclassed him at sucking in evey possible way today.
|
T_T Nicely played by Keke though. Endless waves of Hydras prevented BeSt from breaking through - there were a couple of moments where it looked like BeSt had it, but they were illusions. BeSt had some nice storms but too many dragoons and lost too many shuttle/reavers.
|
hahahahah whaaaaat!? who can honestly say he/she bet on Nal_Keke, who's 1-6 in ZvP and 5 televised game all year to beat BeSt?
WOW!
did NOT see that coming.

Thats right Aesop, I meant exactly that. Kösz.
|
This was one of the worst Best games I've seen since he almost lost a PvT to Casy once.
Whoa man.. -_-;;
Whatever, sub 50% PvZ, I don't care, it's still stronger than most. Tough competition and some random bad games like this one.
|
Although it seems like I'm just echoing the sentiments of others in this thread, why aren't T1 unleashing their best team? BeSt - Midas - Bisu - Fantasy - (Ace - Any of the listed.) looks a nigh unbeatable lineup, yet they're messing around with Hyuk and Rumble? I guess they don't have to win every game, but it certainly would help if they unleashed their best team most weeks.
|
The maps are good for Z this season it seems.
A lot of other teams are using their zergs a lot.
Also, SKTT1 does need a zerg to really pick up and deliver for them.
I hope Hyuk or Rumble step up. Fast.

I guess they don't have to win every game, but it certainly would help if they unleashed their best team most weeks.
I could imagine several reasons why SKT1 is playing this lineup and not another.
First, the workload on individual players. SKT1 had 4 players in the OSL Ro8, all of which will have practiced intensely for their individual games. That means they should not be used on every single PL day. The individual case of Bisu shows three individual leagues within one weekend (Friday OSL Ro8, Saturday MSL Ro32, Sunday GOM Ro64). Putting him onto Proleague already on Tuesday would be quite strenous.
The second reason is the length of the season. If I remember correctly, this season goes through four phases in total. So you can basically decide when to unleash the ownage - at the beginning or at the end. Both strategies might be valid, get as much points between you and your opponents as possible at an early point or start playing serious later into the season. In my opinion, the early season might be a good place for some experimentation, give lesser able players the chance to stand in the lamplight so they can be stable parts of the team later in the season. Who knows, maybe some SKT1 PL-Star will emerge whom nobody thought about.
Anyway, it's way too early to be worried, whoever complains is not complaining about SKT1 performing badly or being risky but rather about not seeing their favourite players enough on TV.

Lol this was a killer week on LB.
On a side note, lot of the big teams are testing the lower ranked players because now is the time, when they can fill the spots left by the big names who are trying to survive in individual leagues. The farther the individual leagues go, the more big names will be eliminated, thus being free to focus in PL. And who wants to lineup a scrub when you had an OSL semifinalist training the whole week for PL?
So now is the time to have your most unproven players to show what they've got, so that later in the season they can cover up for the team ace's and become a real alternative.
Besides, T1 is desperate to get a zerg ace since the TZP rule this season, so they need to test Hyuk and Rumble to death in hope of some of them breaking out, or they will have a very weak spot to be exploited by their rivals when playing a zerg map or when into a ZvZ situation (KTF will send Luxury, Lecaf will send JD, and even Samsung can send Odin who is a far better zerg than those two).
