STX would be wise not to let this go to ace, if free gets a shot at ace, in his sort of form, I don't fancy STX's chances. Although July vs Free would be a sick Ace match
|
|
|
hmmm only care about Hwasin and Free.... everybody else can lose or win i dont care about them that much
|
Stars fighting! Gonna see some no name terrans, who hopefully don't fail. Piano played a horrible ace against Stork this season, hopefully he has stepped it up in general.
And damn it, you should have let me make the thread. I love the Stars.

calm is a proleague monster! i have faith!
|
My prediction is exactly the same as OP's prediction. Gogogo!
Also July vs. Free would indeed be an incredible ace match...
|
if this goes to ace match, I wouldn't be surprised to see free again.

Zero wins.

I missed the first game, but I'll try to LR the next one, because nobody else is doing it.
|
Both players are in their booths, warming up. Special has funny looking glasses.
|
Remember, this is a prefectly balanced TvT map...it could go either way ;-)
|
Starting! Notice is orange in the top left, Special is yellow in top right. Both players playing standard, and sending their SCV's to mine minerals.
edit: observer is allied with Yellow (Special)
|
Notice is making a supply depot. This is a daring move folks, let's see how it works out for hitm.
|
Looks like standard build from notice, but Special is putting up a 14cc inside his main. Notice sending out a scout.
|
Notice seems to be scouting in the wrong direction, and will find special last.
|
|
|
Special is walling in at his ramp.
|
Special is just now wending out a scout, and he's scouting in the right direction. His CC is landing at his nat. Notice making a vult.
|
Notice putting up his nat CC, vult out from notice, I think it kills the scouting SCV. Bunker at special's nat.
|
Notice putting up 2 more factories, sending his vult to harass.
|
Notice sneaks a vult into specials main, sees 1 fact with addon (active) and another building.
|
Special putting down another 2 factories, notice making another 1, evening them up at 4-4 (when they'll be done anyway)
|

Unsurprisingly, both players going mass vultures.
|
Notice sending out a bunch of vults into the middle of the map, fighting with some of specials. He outnumbers special, and special runs away. I think I saw a 5th factory start from special.
|
notice starting his 5th fact, special starting his 6th. 1 addon from special, I think 1 from notice as well.
|
Mines are completed from special, mining up the front, but not the side of his nat.
|
Special runs vults in, and raids Notice's natural. Big vulture battle in the middle, Notice seeming to come out ahead.
|
Notice trying to force his way into special's nat. A bunch of his vults die, but he makes his way in, and the SCV's flee.
|
Notice mining up the bottom of the ramp, just when the 1st tank is coming out for special. 1st tank for notice is moving up the ramp into Special's main, special GG's.
|

Notice destroys Special's entire vulture army and is slowly destroying the nat with vults, and then Special ggs.
|

TvTs with just vultures are always so weird O.o
|
|
|
ok, this is not good, stx will lose 3-0 or 3-2.

STX can not lose 3-0. They've already won a game.

Now for the main event of this match.
|
I really want Calm to win this, but Free's defiantly the HUGE favorite :\
|
|
|
Wow, I really don't know who to cheer for here. I'm cheering for STX overall, but free is pretty awesome.
|
Calm could win, he plays well under pressure..
|
shit, I don't think I can LR this game =(
|

No; his core was spinning and now he has a bunch of goons. his third hidden gate really paid off; Calm's nat just went down.

that was a pretty pimp play from free
hidden 3rd gate + probe cutting + fake expo = win
|
Hwasin I know you can take this scrub! PLZ DONT LET US DOWN

Current score: Stars 2: STX 1
Hwasin had better win this for the sake of free vs July in the ace.
|
That ended Calm's 5-0 PL record :o
|
Free: the only man that didn't need no Revolutionist.
|
An Influx of really good protoss(es) lately.
|
You know, the Stars aren't the doormat of Proleague anymore.
|
Free's going to have like 60 wins by the end of proleague.

I was going to say that too but I didn't have the heart.
|
If Woonjin's Terran can hold on for like, 1 more minute, the game's over.
|
Every time a Hwasin fails, an angel gets its wings.
|
Of course, if he doesn't fuck up his macro, which he seems to be a fan of doing right now.

And the Rush is now. Hwsain needs to take his Eee han timing and take out the other kid before his macro kicks in.
|
Piano could probably sacrific his main as long as he builds more factories and his macro kicks in.
|

Hwasin has Piano's ridge, but Piano has like 3 extra bases.
|
Oh my god Piano, Free's going to kill you if you lose this.
|
Piano needs to switch into dropship play and stop wasting wraiths.
|
|
|
I don't understand what people see in Hwasin,
he is just terrible every time I Watch him
|
Great game from Piano, he almost lost the game due to the breakout by hwasin =/
|
He's doing so bad of late (hwasin is). He used to be really good all around in every matchup...
|
Piano switched into dropship play and won. He was able to do this because he cheated two bases right after the first one allowing him to win. His play wasn't stellar.
That said, I'm surprised he wont he final battle. I guess Hwasin's flank was really that terrible.
Woonjin wins, 3-1.
|
STX really does look like a team that's used to losing.
|
It feels great to be a Stars fan right now. 
|
Stars are performing well, and it looks like Hwasin really needs a break or a refuel. His drop off has been alarming. Maybe facing his nemesis and losing time and time again has really taken its toll on him

Ugh, I'll be a T1 fan any day. Even when their zergs are 0-9.
|
|
|
Ahahahaha...I lost this LB. But it's okay cause it's the Stars.
|
Both teams played pretty well, especially free. Hwasin really looked like he might of been able to come back at one point, but he couldn't 
Hopefully now he won't be going into a slump at all :\

stx not doing much good this season.
|
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ
owned soul
|
no more perfect record calm 
|
STX doesn't have a bad lineup at all, yet they still fail badly almost every time. Kal is losing cause of stupid mistakes only a rookie would make, Hwasin has lost his spark, and July and Calm seem to be really good one day and the next day they just fail miserably.
But I am very happy for WStars. Don't know how long this will go on, but they deserve to enjoy this moment. Maybe some of the fire Free is on caught up with his teammates.
Btw, doesn't Notice remind you of a certain CJ oldschool terran?
|
Bisu and/or Effort took Hwasins warrior spirit. Hell be back soon. But just a few weeks ago he looked so good against Ruby, and some other terran he raped so perfectly.

Uh, you guys do realize that STX was #2 in the Proleague going into this match right?
Crazy that NOTICE was the only one to win his game though, lol.

how does stars even win matches ><

But anywho, good set for Stars and im more happy at the fact that Calm lost. Top spot for proleague belongs to Stork and only for Stork.
