After both teams getting "humiliated" over the weekend (STX's 1st 3-0 lost and CJ losing to ACE), one team gets to redeem itself, the other will continue it's path of pity.
STX FIGHTING
|
|
|
whoo~ much vs july! ^^ should be entertaining.
|
The only way Much is winning is if he has some sort of really good cheese planned again like the last time he played July.
|
3:1 STX.
stx with such strong lineup

Err...despite being a <3Much fan, PvZ is his worst MU, while it is July's best.
Oh well, Much Fighing!!
Edit: Also the result of Effort vs Calm should be interesting, they are both up and coming zergs with very good ZvZ. Too bad ZvZ usually isn't too interesting tho hehe.

he doesn't even really have any accomplishments.
good pvt, average pvp, subpar pvz.
not sure why he has fans, other than his pylon heart vs fbh.

we have a vlc going for this or what?

Thanks for the link, I'll be Live Reporting in this thread (until 4999 at least. I have an epic 5000th post coming up and this is the perfect way to legitimately increase my postcount until then!)

I have faith in the CJ newbies. I believe in a CJ 3-1 victory with Much losing.
|
|
|
Btw does TLPD has possibility to show which team is best SET1/SET2... etc winner/loser. Would be nice to see which team chokes first game (obviously ACE team is excluded).

Skyhigh's keeping an SCV on his ramp for some reason. He built his first supply by his ramp, barracks starting.
Gas and Gateway warping for Kal.

Probe gets in despite skyhigh's SCV block on ramp.
Both players have gas, cy core warping. Probe is harassing mining SCVs.
EDIT: Manner pylon by Kal. Factory building.

He has fans because of his unorthodox play and his ability to pull of funky strats and weird timings. He's like Nal_Ra, but more practical.

well, skyhigh starts upper position, kal on lower
skyhigh pulls a really early scv to block ramp, probably trying something tricky
kal gets past it anyway to scout
manner pylon by kal
|
where can we watch this games?

Manner pylon? In PvT? I wonder what rush toss is planning.

Manner pylon goes down, as does Kal's probe. Two marines chased it. Dragoon out for Kal. Skyhigh walled off his ramp with two depots and a Barracks.
Citadel for Kal.

Xenocide_Knight, there's no practical need for you to livereport (unless you really want to, of course).
I got this series covered unless I run out of posts.
Templar Archives finished. CC finished. Two tanks out for Skyhigh. Building an Engineering Bay.
EDIT: Skyhigh playing Turret defense everywhere.
Shuttle and Dark Templar out. Kal has a nexus warping at his nat.
|
skyhigh's spider sense is tingling it seems
|
|
|
16957 Posts
Shuttle heading towards Skyhigh, but he has Turrets and Tanks covering pretty much everything.
Shuttle dropping DTs in his base, killing two SCVs making Turrets.
Skyhigh has really badly placed Turrets, letting him harass things in the north part of skyhigh's base, including gas SCVs.
|

Kal is known for the hard harass style of play. And Skyhigh is good enough to even prep builds to stop it.
And Skyhigh even spots the shuttle.

@Xenocide_knight: feel free to live report as well, if you'd like. I'm just saying that you can sit back and enjoy the games without feeling the obligation to LR if you don't want to. Watching out for you, really 
Skyhigh forced to cancel a fac. Loses a Tank. Machine shop is attacked, but survives. Kal loses both DTs.
|
16957 Posts
Archon and six dragoons moving out, along with shuttle. Four tanks, vulture, 2 mainres moving out. They'll meet in the middle it seems, but Kal backs off.
Shuttle flying around, vultures laying mines.
|
That's a lot of destroyed/canceled building from DT. Archon (wtf, this early?) from Kal.
|
16957 Posts
Observer out. Kal has a definite unit advantage, especially with his early Archon and goon count. He has seven gateways, I believe, as well as a forge morphing in for a +1 I think. Terran has four fac, with one building. One machine shop.
|
16957 Posts
Many tanks/vultures camping out on high ground. Skyhigh moving down with his metal along the ridge!
He has a definite good position for engagement.
Kal backs off. Many zealots for Kal hanging out at nat.
Skyhigh pressuring Kal's third.
Kal moves across the map.
Nothing can save Kal's third.
|
16957 Posts
Kal engaging with many, many speedzeals. I stand corrected. Skyhigh loses his entire tank/vult force.
|
16957 Posts
More metal moving out for Skyhigh, attacking Kal's nat. Soooo many speed zeals attack move into Tanks, they all die to vult.
Massive Dragoon/Zealot/Archon reinforcements coming up, clear out the attacking force.
EDIT: Kal has sooo many gateways. Skyhigh pressuring Kal's third again along the ridge, with Tanks and Vults. Skyhigh starts construction on his third CC. Kal can't do anything to stop Skyhigh atm, losing all his probes at his third.
He clears it out. Skyhigh harassing Kal's nat.
Skyhigh retreats his Vultures out of the third.
Kal looks pretty pissed.
Many tanks coming down the center from Skyhigh. Sort of haphazard fac placing.

Wow skyhigh is doing really well from were i started off (defending heavily vs dt drop)

@FA, stream is fine for me
Kal attack moves many Dragoons to kill some Vultures. Vultures back, harassing Kal's third probes. Many die. Skyhigh lands his third CC, though it's undefended. Kal clearing out some mines with Observer + Archon/goons.
WOW Kal moves in a DT through a mine field, killing seven Vultures!
|
|
|

Kal moving out with goons and archons from both sides, massively sandwiching in Skyhigh. Clears out his force. Kal has many goons, an archon, and many speedzeals.
He clears out the Vultures attacking his third, but the Vultures kill the nexus.
Kal starts a new expansion.
Skyhigh solidifying his position in upper-middle.
I see High Templar for Kal. SCVs transferring to third.

Dragoons clearing out mines.
Moving toward's Kal's third, I believe. Sky high moving TONS OF VULTURES into the middle, laying mines. Dunno why I just capitalized that.
Skyhigh has ample defense at his third, but Kal moves units behind Skyhigh's nat! Tons of Dragoons, though they're held off by last minute defense.
|
16957 Posts
Skyhigh attack moves tons of Vultures into Kal's nat, killing three Archons, cannons, and lay mines.
Killing lots of probes. He literally has 24 Vultures or so.
|
What's kal doing, sending 4 archons against 20 vults...
|
|
|

Kal's in trouble. Moving Dragoons back to defend.
Kal loses his nat Nexus. Some vultures are able to escape, but pathing traps a few.
Kal loses a few more goons unnecessarily to mines.
Skyhigh moving out with many mant metal

Yes my stream is working!

0-1 metal Vultures and Tanks attack moving accross the map, overwhelming Kal's dragoons.

Skyhigh starting a fourth, but there's no need. he has about 12 tanks and 12 vultures in Kal's main.

Did SkyHigh type ^^?
Well played game by him. A bit lackluster by Kal.

I guess it might end 3-0 for CJ now. That was a pretty bad rape.
|
I swear, every time a toss loses an angel gets it's wings. It feels that good to watch that. :p
|
Skyhigh takes one. I didn't seen that one coming, I never give Skyhigh enough credit.
|
16957 Posts
Brilliant prophylactic play helps him defend somewhat from Kal's DT drop, though Kal maximizes damage as much as he can. Kal rashly double expanded against skyhigh's vulture heavy build, which fails due to his Vulture multitasking skills. Questionable use of Archons, honestly.
Good play from skyhigh in this game, looking forward to game two.
|
skyhigh making a move, he has clear advantage now.
If he keeps this out he can easily close it.
and he does!
|
Wow, awesome vulture use by skyhigh, almost Mindesque. I just started watching from the middle and from what it seems, skyhigh was behind, but he had some great vulture play, killing many probes and ambushing goons. He just had mines everywhere, catching many stray units and that 24+ vulture ambush at Kal's nat was impressive, taking out 4 archones, keeping goons at bay at the ramp with mines, and taking out the natural nexus.

Kind of late here.
And another note, Skyhigh used the terrain very well to his advantage, forcing Kal to attack up ramps to clear units attacking his third many times throughout the game. When Kal tried to attack Skyhigh's third or nat, he was met by defense.

I think it was, since skyhigh was playing a heavy vulture build, templars would simply be sniped too easily and be wasted, so he made archons instead
also, funny thing is, even though he had morphed his 8 templar into archons, the 24 vulture raid by skyhigh still killed them all easily.

Perhaps he thought he could clear mines easily with Archon + Obs? I don't know. He had an early archives and nothing to do, so why not :D

@KreaGata: thanks 
Both players playing standard so far with no proxies. Pylon warping for Movie. Supply at ramp for Bogus. Cross position Andromeda is really conducive to long games, so expect to be here a while.
Gateway warping. Prove scouting down. Barracks started.

movie: top right teal
bogus: bottom left yellow

Fact Started. Zeal before core from Movie heading straight for Bogus' base, but his wall is finished and he has a Marine behind the SCV.
Oh hello there bogus!
Second Zealot on ramp for movie. Zealot attacking depot. 1 fac CC for bogus. Range researching. Dragoon out.

Movie walling his ramp with zeals against the SCV, no doubt up to something sneaky.

-_-
Kal is so inconsistent
|
citadel, looks like dt rush
still no nexus for movie

Bogus went 1fac CC, except building his CC at the in-base min only.

nexus in min only starts, bogus has eng bay finished already
bogus adding very fast 2nd cc

Both players taking their min onlies, with a slower nexus from movie. Citadel of adun. Probe attacking a power generator. It doesn't look like Siege has completed.
Two tanks for bogus, drive off a harassing goon that gets no shots in. Bogus playing safely, with turrets. SCV still out, MAKES IT INTO MOBIE'S BASE, but doesn't see anything except a gateway.
Robo warping. Templar warping.
|
United States13143 Posts
Citadel and Robo for Movie, is today DT drop day?

Looks like Movie's going for a DT Drop.
Bogus making his third CC inside his base, ready to land at his nat. He has turrets up around his base.

Honestly, there's no point live reporting if your stream is behind mine (which is what it appears to be), so if you want, you can just sit back and watch the games. Of course, if you want to live report, that's your prerogative, but just letting you know that you don't have to.
Academy and Armory building. Observatory warping. Both players look to take their gas nats.
Two Dark Templar in a shuttle now, aslong with a probe.

Movie makes his move...
Doing very well...
Looks like he has the advantage now...
Looks like its going to be a pretty short game...

great defense from the elevator + dt drop by bogus
bogus has a commanding lead now
movie takes the 3:00 base to try and come back economically

The Terran's Main is now exposed and that DT can run free. But ther'es comsats up.

The attack ends up doing little damage except for taking out a few tanks and 3-4 scv's.

Arbiter Tribunal warping.
Both players seem to be moving out to some extent. Tanks siege up in front of nat, forced to unsiege by a shuttle. Movie setting up mines. Bogus very close to Movie's base. Someone's going to be forcced to make a move soon. Tanks and Vultures harassing movie's min only.
ENGAGEMENT.
Zealots take tanks. Storms and Dragoons clear out rest, but forced to back off after fresh reinforcements by vultures and golis from bogus.

Bogus mining up his base in case of recalls.

Movie can't really think he can win this, can he?
That first engagement of Movie was really good for the amount of units he had, I thought. He had some really nice storms.

Impressive play from both Terrans today. Elevator was a clever play, though it honestly didn't end up doing much. Maybe he was impressed by the recent liquibition
Wow, replay shows FOUR templar in a shuttle. That's quite a bit of Templar. This was during the initial timing push. Hell, with bogus' clumped tanks, he should have just attack moved in, and stormed the hell out of the tanks, since there wasn't very much mining either. He didn't take advantage of when the tanks were clumped together.
From there, bogus just outclassed him with some standard play, while keeping up the pressure on movie's nat. Good, solid mechanical play from bogus in this game.
Damn that kid has some fans. He looks like he's 13 or something.
@Sonuvbob: His 6 island was nowhere close to being saturated, though.

Ahhhh too bad the dt drop was worthless bogus was very well prepared. And a nice timed push to finish the game. C'mon Grandpa!

Bogus played really sloppy, but his macro was really good after the elevator failed he had a nice lead which he just built on throughout the game.

I after watching the rep, he didn't quite spread out his units properly and the units came before the shuttle. He then selected the shuttle, got it moving, and unloaded the templar. He also sent all of his units at once through the mines. It was all slightly mistimed and it definitely cost him the game. I think what Movie was waiting for was for Bogus to unseige all of his tanks and move them ALL forward, at which point he would have moved in. It would have been perhaps been wiser to wait for the push to come a little closer (so Movie could macro up a little more), run probes from his min only, and wait. But Movie didn't, and he mistimed his attack, and he lost.
|
Movie could have had some really solid zealot bombs during that push, turrets weren't up and there were no golies.

ADS....
Much vs July about to start...
and its on...

When you lift units into a main via shuttle by making trips back and fourth, back and fourth, it's called an elevator. It's a definition in the recommended threads, if you'd be willing to take a look.
|
After he successfully defended the elevator and had both cc's finished before movie did, the game was basically over. Movie taking the island just weakened his ability to defend against the timing attack. Bogus's play was very solid, not genius, but solid.

Now he's a sniper he can do anything! ok kmnife time. Now he's strafinf. Korean text. Some random talking. More text. KARMA 2!!!!

5,4,3,2,1 and the game starts...
Looks like a standard start...

See Empyrean, I would never LR that, hahaha. ^^

Rush Hour. Definitely going to be an interesting game, with July being very familiar with this relatively older map. Of course, it's harder for Zerg to hold onto an FE, but then again, same for Protoss.
July top left, Much at 3:00.

Hope we see some pimp range first hydra break

I thought that Movies storming and push breaking micro were better than Bogus's push, but the unit difference was just too big. I would have to watch that part again to be sure tho ^.^

Your 5000th post is probably sexy.
I guess I'll root for July, since I need some glimmer of hope for ZvP. No offense Grandpa Toss.

Oh wait, it's not I don't think. My bad.
EDIT: Zealot behind minerals of july's nat, though he has lings and a sunken.
Nexus warping in for much, taking his gas now.
Lair mrphing for July. July sees the expansion, as well as three Zealots.
|
Much with a pretty early scout...
Looks like this is going to be a standard protoss vs zerg game...
No expansion yet...
mauby a fast corsair/shuttle push...
|
why 'grandpa' toss? 'geezer' toss sounds better imo.
|
July getting a fast Lair, looks to be up to something, maybe 2-hatch muta.
|
much goes gateway first, but i cant see if he has one or two
nexus going down for much with no cannons, i guess it was one gateway
the zealot harass didn't do much
july's sunken finishing at his nat
gas going down for much
hydra den for july
much adds 2nd gate

July runs Zerglings into Much's main, sees gas and warping cy core.
Much cancels cy core and builds a forge intsead. Hydra den for july.

Or not... Looks like a lurker build from July.

I was going to comment that you were coming up on your 5000th. I had something for my 5k too and I was going to write it and publish it around Christmas but it was going to be a real struggle to get there from here (especially since I'm gone for a lot of the days too). It'll have to wait until semester break or something for me.

2 gate for much, forge finished. Zealots still chasing Zerglings. July mass producing Zerglings.
Zerglings attacking pylon, forced to rnu.
LOTS OF ZERGLINGS come in, and the Zerglings from the main sandwich some Zealots. Attacking Nexus. Probe drill to defend.
|
July TUSHIN SMASHES Much's expansion, rapes zealots and forces probes to pull from main. Nexus going down.
|
|
|
NEXUS DOWN!!!
many lings for july trying to break the 3 zealot wall on the ramp
probes come back, and it looks like much will hold
|

Nexus goes down.
Also @ thunk, it took me four ish years to get 5000 posts haha...only took you a year.
July attacking up Much's ramp with Zerglings, and loses tons of them. Commentators are recommending cannons. Hydra out.
|
I thought that expo was really unplanned by Much. Especially against July. Much will barely hold his ramp. And there be lurkers morphing there.
|
lurker egg morphing on much's ramp, things looking bad for grampa toss
lurker burys forcing zlot/probes off the ramp

Lurker burrows. Let Zerglings into the main, kill THE CANNON!
Much is contained by Lurkers INSIDE HIS BASE.
More Zerglings run in. And now I'm buffering. Ok, Zerglings kill Probes, Lurker around min line, clears out all of much's probes.
This is gg.

Yeah, I know. I just stated why I think Grandpa Toss is a cooler nickname than Geezer Toss.
... Man, that was a horrible game from Grandpa Toss. GJ July in any event.

i really doubt they expected a zerg to be sent out there, i would imagine the STX coaches merely anticipated CJ expecting them to send out a terran and sent the zerg to counter Much. I could be wrong though.

another shitfest from much
god he drives me crazy!

It didn't even look like Much had an overall plan for that game. July just ate him.

This ZvZ can go either way. Both players seem to be on about the same level ZvZ, but Calm appears to have a somewhat more seasoned ZvZ, so I'm giving him the edge.

If it goes to Ace, I think theyd send skyhigh again or Iris.

Gameclip! some random Korean game.
girl surrouded by monster things. she has weird armor on. Oh shit arcan elooking things around her. slayer. Also girl shooting tons. SUMMERONER IS A DRAGON OH WOW. Hey this game actually looks pretty cool, what with the spells and such. Dragon Scion.
Oh and here's the commercial for Karma 2 again. Golden Bazooka etc. Hmm, one guy seemed to be left handed. way to introduce diversity into this. I AM THROWING A PIPEBOMB. More rifle fire. lol that knife is going to be useless. Hiding behind sandbags. Korena text. now some talking. KARMA 2!!! And here comes the additional clip of a guy using a bazooka to fire into like 8 guys, who end up flying 100 feet into the air. German speaking. I think I hear schlagen.
Prius again. Wow three game commercials in a row. That little girl's gonna get raped by the gundams, just like last time. now she's casting some spell. Oh she meets a robot. good for her. evil wizard casting some spells looks purpose. more gameplay, some attacks. Involves lots of people spinning around, attacking things. Oh here are some cool graphics going on. Lots of shiny things. Almost 3000 damage from gundams with lances. Prius! online!
Ok Zombie again this is the fourth game commercial in a row, basically incorporating all the ones before along with dragon scion.
and now we're back to the game.

Eww fuck no. If it were like Brad Pitt in fight club or something, then yeah. I'd bend over for that so quick holy shit.

Bisu happened. Bisu kept stalking July and July got pissed so he packed up and left again.
Reality though who knows? July just didn't like the atmosphere of the T1 house, felt that STX was better suited for his needs.

July moved from MBC to SKT T1, but his performance was bad and I think the Coach, who knew July well, retired, making things worst, and he then moved to STX.
edit: make that fired, since SKT T1's performance was so bad that they wanted to restructure everything.

EffOrt takes his gas before pool, and already has three drones on gas.
Calm now morphing in gas.

STX house is right next to MBC house so it was a good fit for him to be near his former mbc friends in an atmosphere he liked, according to scforall mbc and stx have soccer matches often to so there is definetly a friendship between those two teams.

Wow, calm playing a very risky build with an early expansion at his nat. EffOrt begins morphing his lair while calm's spawning pool just ifnished. EffOrt still on one hat, but he sees the expo.
Calm now morphing lair.
|
16957 Posts
Calm moving down the map with six lings, EffOrt has six above his ramp. Calm chilling out under the ramp.
Both players morphing a spire, with EffOrt having a slightly faster one but not by much.
EffOrt moves out with his lings! Kills all of calm's, though he doesn't capitalize on his advantage.
Now he is, attacking with the lings.

Calm has eight defending Zerglings against Calm's, looks like he can holy pretty much any attack.
Spire finished for both players, with EffOrt having a slightly faster one.
Calm has a better economy, though, with a faster nat.
EffOrt sneaks in some Zerglings into Calm's base! Kills one drone, then he runs away.

Four Mutas from EffOrt vs. four for calm. They're just kind of hanging out.
Mutalisk harass from EffOrt! Kills one Zergling.
EffOrt has some Zerglings coming up the map, though Calm also has a nice count by his nat. EffOrt has Scourge as well! air engagement between EffOrt and his muta scourge vs. Calm's Muta only. Calm now has fewer Mutalisks thatn calm.
Calm has Zerglings on hold position, EffOrt sneaks some Zerglings into his main and kills some drones at the nat!

Magnificent play from effort :D

This is the worst fucking multitask from Calm
|
wow efforts ling/muta multitasking is really something to watch

EffOrt kills calm's nat with Zerglings. Calm's Zerglings were on hold position and didn't respond before dying.
It looks like Calm has a mutalisk advantage, though.
Three mutalisk in EffOrt's main while EffOrt morphs Scourge and mutalisks.
EffOrt has Zerglings in calm's main again since calm's Zerglings were on hold position, kill virtually all the drones.

Calm's multitask the whole game was utter shit.

another example of not to fast expand in zvz...

calm's economy was such shit there.

Good effort by Calm but Effort stayed calm to take the win

EffOrt is the fucking man.
Calm looked sloppy as heck.

EffOrt beautifully controls both Mutalisks/Scourge and Zerglings at the same time and completely overwhelms Calm's much sloppier control. Calm looks pissed.
EffOrt nonchalantly walks off, points to himself and he's like "me?" Haha. He's trying to supress a smile. He gets massive cheers from the crowd. Still looking quite pimptastic in that heavy jacket of his.
EffOrt controlled the game from start to finish. Very smart play combined with excellent control wins the game for him in a very one sided ZvZ. Again, I see big things for him!
EDIT: @jigga: very clever word play
EDIT: Fuck I only have 11 posts to report on this ace match with...and my 5000th post isn't even done yet. Fuuuuck.

What do you guys think is Ace match?
I think Iris for CJ?
|
that just seemed like a straight up speed difference win
effort was able to get drone kills with his lings, and even snipe the nat hatchery while out microing on par with calm's mutas.
once calm couldn't reproduce his mutas, it was gg

Im thinkin Iris vs Hwasin

Calm had the BO advantage that game too, he would have won if he could have controlled his zerglings better.
|
Neo Harmony...Iris for ace? perhaps skyhigh or effort again?
i would've said iris vs calm maybe but after the way calm played in that last game i'm not sure they'd want to send him back out there.
|
At first I thought it'd go to Iris/Kal for ACE, but I won't be surprised at something like EffOrt/Hwasin.
|
Would someone explain why 2 zergs were sent out on Destination? Destination seems to be balanced against Z in the two ZvX MUs. Add that to the fact that both players have their best MU against zerg...

There wasn't really any one reason, it was a combination of factors.

b) poor performance from July
c) being coached by iloveOOv, rival and then-retired.

fucking sick zvz skills from Effort! I love how he split up his lings and used them so effectively. Ace is the only way to end this battle with justice. I'm personally hoping for mjy > anyone.

CJ knows that July > P/Z. They'll send Iris or possibly Skyhigh to counter July, and that's why STX will send Kal or Hwasin.
|
It seems like STX might have to go with Kal here with the way Hwasin has been slumping and Calm's abysmal play in that last game. Who knows though?

Well, Bisu is a PvZ sniper, and July's a ZvP monster. They probably don't get along very well.

Iris vs. Calm interesting...
|
I doubt July will be sent out for Ace any time soon...
Perhaps Kal so he can redeem himself?
EDIT: Or Calm to do that too 
|
Nice, a TvZ to round it out.
|
Does everyone in STX except July wear glasses? Seems like they practice too much...

Hohoho~ Iris vs Calm.
EZ EZ IRIS.
IRISssssss my favorite CJ~

Iris sure is getting a lot of playtime these days.

Oh I agree their rivalry is epic, doesn't seem like a reason for their to be personal tension. It's not like they took metals from each other like July and OOV.

Hmm, a part of me wanted CJ to send in EffOrt. Not only because he'd have the psychological advantage against calm, but also for my fantasy proleague team
|
Well I guess STX's faith in Calm remains strong. I suppose they didn't have much of a worse chance here than by sending out Kal so..nonetheless, go Iris!

Hes the berserker if he doesnt get play time...bad things happen, you dont like him when hes angry. Which he might be after this match where calm might try to rush with a million lings.

BTW, when did Iris become CJ Captain?
It seems I only end up liking the captains of CJ...
ForU?/Xellos/Iris/Much -_-;;

Christ if they were going to send calm they might as well have sent July. He's played Iris alot.

There was that drop match where Bisu might have done something to fuck up the network. He should have given him the match instead of trying for a regame and waiting for judge decision.

Calm top right zerg, Iris bottom left terran.

Judging from Calm's crap game vs Effort, I would say Iris is coming in with a significant mental advantage, not to mention a somewhat t>z map (albeit a tiny sample space of games)
I see a top form Iris steamrolling Calm

Calm just lost..why would they send him out o.O

Probably because TvZ is Iris's weakest matchup and they feel like Calm has been doing better than July lately.

12 hatch 11 pool by calm, iris scouts after supply
calm not saving larvae for lings, looks like he wants to power drones early
gas and 3rd hatch going down for calm

Only nine posts left that I can use!

I better conserve them.
Terran fast expands, Zerg does as well, with a third hat at ramp. Zerg is taking gas, hat already finished at nat.

Game is looking pretty standard so far!

Oh shoot, Iris is on a 6 game win streak in TvZ. Didn't see that one.
His overall TvZ percentage is still one of the worst in progaming though.

OH FUCK I JUST REALIZED IRIS IS IN MY FANTASY TEAM.
All the more reason to cheer him and a CJ win .

Calm could use a sunken or three about now.

In proleagues map is a very decisive factor. Calm has played on Harmony in ace before and won against ForGG. I'm sure it's just a familiarity thing.
Edit: That and the fact that Hwasin the default terran to send on harmony is just horrible lately.

I forgot to mention b.5, that SKT1 wasn't doing so hot either. I don't know, they just don't get along. And if you look at their history of games July is 3-2, but his 2nd win (on blue storm) was a disconnect between Bisu and July with July given the win. If you look at the game, Bisu was so far behind but at the time Bisu was Bisu-unbeatable and if a DT was out the game would have been a rematch. But the DT wasn't out and the win was given to July. And the ones in the Bacchus and Incruit OSL they played each other in the group stages, and then the tie breakers. (Bisu advanced both times; they did not meet in the Ever OSL). They have a close rivalry going.
From here on out, it's speculation:
You can probably also relate it to the fact that Bisu is the PvZ killer who invented the Protoss FE and July is the type of person to go for the 2 hatch hydra cannon breaks or ling all-ins every time and I bet that caused some friction. In the most dramatic sense, it is a battle of styles.
You can't forget that MBC is July's team. He built it from POS, from his own effort. Bisu came in, FE'd his way to victory, and became the face of MBC. I can't remember who was traded first, but I think it was July, and he was forced to leave his team (to SKT1) and Bisu then followed. I bet that was annoying for July. If Bisu was traded first, this point is only marginally valid; July was playing poorly when Bisu was dominate though.

iris's cc finishes, iris unable to get his scv into calm's main again
nat gas going down for calm
speed lings snipe 2 scvs at iris's nat
spire for calm, but its a fake, iris's eng bay going down
a few lings sneak through, but are dealt with quickly
|
Calm doing the Savior build.
|
|
|
iris pushes out, calm trying to get sunkens down
calm takes bottom right, with 2 hydras ready to morph on teh ramp
calms queens nest is starting quickly lurkers pop, looks like iris is going to try and use his initial mmf force to contain
factory finished for iris with port coming in
hive started morphing for calm
|
I haven't seen MnM versus Lurker micro in a while.
|
I have no idea how Calm intends to stop Iris's midgame ball, it's going to hit his sunken line before defilers are out.
|
Emp I'll LR if you want me to.
|
HOLY SHIT I JUST NOTICED THERE'S NO MORE 2V2 IN PROLEAGUE!
seriously.
ps. Go calm lol
|
In fact, Emp, I'll live LR so you can save the use of your posts.
|
Iris going sci vessels and 1 fact tank to fend off the lurker push. Zerg going defiler.
|
me thinks Calm has this one
|
2 more rax for Iris, Calm indicates he wants to lock up upper left for himself, as well as lower left.

Ah thanks muchos. I had heard July left MBC because he didn't feel they were paying him what he was worth. I didn't know he built the team though?
But Bisu becoming the face of his team would definitely make sense. July keeps winning in the group stages and losing the tie breakers, I would love to see those two in a real b03, bo5.

Iris loses a few marines, but then a Marine flank rapes five lurkers.
|
WOOOW THAT WAS AWESOME AFTER LOSING THOSE MARINES CARELESSLY LOL.
What happened was a 2 pronged attack on about 5 lurks on a raised part of harmony. Happened so fast.

Wow, really nice flank and mnm micro by Iris. He just ripped apart 4 lurkers.
|
defiler mound morphing for calm
iris is moving around with his mmf ball still, trying to pick off stray units
science vessels building for iris
calm takes top left as well, trying to get up a fast 4 gas
iris carelessly loses marines to lurker spines
small skirmish, iris cleans up the few lurks
defilers done for calm, looks like they are on time to defend the push
|
HOLY SHIT IRIS JUST INTENTIONALLY RAN INTO LURKS TO SET UP A FLANK

Iris just flanked ans slaughtered 5 lurkers with 2 groups of mnm.

consume is done, and calm is looking very good this game. his nydus canals are morphing, and top left base is finished building.
calm is killing the temple behind iris's 3rd expo, looks like he plans to lurker harass there
dual drop at bottom right, but a defiler is there, and iris reloads and runs

Iris made two dropships, is going to send them toward scourge. Sends them toward lower left, but the drop doesn't do much damage because of the nydus.

TVZ HYDRALURKER
RESSURECTION !

Iris tries again, this time to upper left. He brings vessels, too.
Calm moves to defend, looks like not much damage is going to be done.

Oh man, Calm shuts down Iris' min only with lurkers breaking through the back.
|
|

great defense by calm, using his nydus canals effectively
the lurkers get alot of scv kills at iris's 3rd expo (good call by me )
dual drop in calm's main
hydra den goes down, but the drop is killed quickly

Iris' drop gets plagued and ripped apart. It's really looking back for Iris.

Thanks, thunk.
Also, Calm is displaying much better multitask in this game, being able to effectively use his Nydus Canals to defend against the multi-pronged attacks by Iris' dropships very well. Great Nydus use...they actually serve a purpose in this game!
This is definitely the game to watch of the night.
|
4 dropship drops going down for Iris; Calm running around with weak sauron.
3 vessels and a small mnm force roaming the map.
|
Iris is using such a sexy style this game lol.
Calm defending well but this drop is raping in his main.
|
IRIS RIPPING UP CALM'S MAIN
|
Massive drop in Calm's main, takes out a lot of army but not a lot of tech yet.
|
Woww Awesome drop with 4 dropships by iris. He is cleaning out the tech of Calm.
|
|
|
3 factories for iris, looks like he plans on transitioning to counter the hydralurkdefiler play
4 dropships for iris, but he is having trouble making them effective
drop in main again with tanks, and is elevatoring units in
doing alot of damage
defiler mound down, ultra cavern down, 2 hatchs down spire down, and the drop units are still alive for the most part
|
Oh man, Almost all ove Calm's tech goes down.
But Iris' drop gets plagued.
|
he had the units to defend that but fucked up the micro
|
Devastating drop on the main from Iris! Iris now has a crapload of tanks too.
|
Holy shit, Iris makes games so entertaining sometimes.
|
Rips up drones; but the drop is done. Iris distance mining gas from the 6 expo. We'll see if the drop slowed down Calm enough. Calm expanded to bottom right nat and Iris attacks, it. Clam throws up a swarm and defends.
|
Calm's rebuilt all of his tech by now. Iris motioning to retake 6 third from lurkers.
|
calm cleans up the drop after losing all his tech
iris taking 9:00 base, the lurkers at 6:00 are killing his mining time
4 dropship drop at top left, but ultras are there to defend
iris has both 6:00 and 9:00 cc's lifted, looks like calm will roll over him with more bases
|
4 dropship assault on upper right, gets spotted and lurkers are there.
Calm shuts down mynarding SCVs with lurkers at 9 o'clock third.
|
This game is actually really good. 4 more dropships, I wonder what Iris is going for now.
|

What a rape. Steamrolled bot right and dropped the main.

This is such a great game! So many great moves by both players.

i...
I CANNOT TYPE FAST ENOUGH TO DESCRIBE WHAT IS HAPPENING
|
Well, they're the same 4 dropships, but they're giving Iris the mobility to stand a chance against hydra lurker, which is soon going to turn into ultra ling.
Iris attacks bottom right nat and simtanously drops main. Clam counters, at Iris' Expansion.
Calm attacks Irs' main.
|
Russian Federation4333 Posts
WTF. Iris just totally dropped the soap on that main drop.
Shitty multitasking from Iris, he flew the dropships into the corner of the main, flying passed all the buildings.
|
quad drop in main again
iris simultaneously attack bottom right with his main force
calm counters at 6:00
iris cleans out bottom right, but his drop didn't do much
ultras coming into iris's nat and there isnt much to defend
|
Damn, Calm has way too many imbalisks
|
irriating ultra bomb on SCV lol
|
Clam now committing the rest of his force. Iris drops nat, now moving upper left.
|
This game is really showcasing the glory that is TvZ.
|
Omg this game.... glad I watched this series out!
|
Crazy game, I think only Calm's mining, and that's from top left.
|
|
|
|
|
clutch swarm is raping iris
|
Russian Federation4333 Posts
Calm counters with ultras at 6 and T nat simultaneously, cancelling out his loss of the bottom bases.
Now he runs his ultra blob into a bunch of tanks, and kills them!

GG From Iris
Damn he was doing good too t.t.
|
EXCELLENT game
Calm pulls through, iris is vanquished
|
huge battle, tanks vs ultras
ultras with swarm clean up and iris gg's

3 - 2 STX!

Russian Federation4333 Posts
Iris has very sloppy TvZ. Iris's TvZ is like a drunken mess.
He is aggressive and all over the place but sloppy as fuck.
|
Iris killed all of calm's tech but then calm stockpiled like a BILLION gas so when he rebuilt his tech he could just mass produce ultras
|
Woo won my liquibet.
Iris really missed the timing windows early on.
|
Calm, excellent~! Truly, redemption for his loss in game 4. STX SouL Fighting~~

Yea that was a great game. Iris' decision to go 4 dropship may not have been that smart initially but after awhile he really taxed Calm's mulititask and made it close.

Definitely the game of the night....also I'm glad I didn't LR it, since I definitely would've run out of posts. Calm comes back from his disappointing loss to EffOrt due to lack of multitask to come back, and uhh...multitask his way to victory.
<_<
He had great defense HAHAA I JUST SAW TOSSGIRL in defending against Iris' drops everywhere, especially with his great use of Nydus canals to offset the mobility advantage of the dropships. Great play by Calm, and this is definitely the recommended game of the series.
Good job!
Also EffOrt owns.

Eh, Calm was even more sloppy that game, I'm not sure what you're talking about! His greedy play payed off - Iris didn't find the expos fast enough to do anything about them, but still turned it into a good game.
|
Oh yea Emp - I thought that Calm wasn't showing better multitask but rather that in TvZ, when T drops the onus is on T to have good drops. Clam started having trouble toward the end, when Iris' drops were causing more trouble.
Calm did a great job shutting down the expos of Iris. If he didn't, he would have lost.

Well good day for zerg, bad day for protoss. I'm satisfied. Wish I had better than a slide show. Come on Nevake...

I hate to see Iris lose ( I FUCKING LOVE THAT GUY), but it's good to see STX win.

It was like Iris doesn't know how to irradiate defilers. He could have cracked Calm's nat easily if he just had irradiated the first defiler after he took out those five lurkers. Instead, he just flew his vessel right by and let like 2 lurkers under swarm stop him.

I am talking about the fact that Iris has sloppy TvZ. Calm being also sloppy doesn't mean that Iris isn't as well.

Calm stopped Iris' 6 game win streak vs Zerg. Damn.

Man, epic match. Sword produces FREAKING AWESOME games .

And if you look at their history of games July is 3-2, but his 2nd win (on blue storm) was a disconnect between Bisu and July with July given the win. If you look at the game, Bisu was so far behind but at the time Bisu was Bisu-unbeatable and if a DT was out the game would have been a rematch. But the DT wasn't out and the win was given to July. And the ones in the Bacchus and Incruit OSL they played each other in the group stages, and then the tie breakers. (Bisu advanced both times; they did not meet in the Ever OSL). They have a close rivalry going. From here on out, it's speculation: You can probably also relate it to the fact that Bisu is the PvZ killer who invented the Protoss FE and July is the type of person to go for the 2 hatch hydra cannon breaks or ling all-ins every time and I bet that caused some friction. In the most dramatic sense, it is a battle of styles. You can't forget that MBC is July's team. He built it from POS, from his own effort. Bisu came in, FE'd his way to victory, and became the face of MBC. I can't remember who was traded first, but I think it was July, and he was forced to leave his team (to SKT1) and Bisu then followed. I bet that was annoying for July. If Bisu was traded first, this point is only marginally valid; July was playing poorly when Bisu was dominate though. Ah thanks muchos. I had heard July left MBC because he didn't feel they were paying him what he was worth. I didn't know he built the team though? But Bisu becoming the face of his team would definitely make sense. July keeps winning in the group stages and losing the tie breakers, I would love to see those two in a real b03, bo5.
Oh yea, salary was a big deal too. Forgot about that bit.
He did built it - he was on POS as POS July, which became MBC. MBC was orginally July/Pusan's team. Then started adding all these great players - Notably Sea, Bisu, and Light, using their depth to become proleague winners. They've the home to players like Shark, Ruby, Saint, TheZerg, 910, Hyun, and I'm sure I'm missing some old schoolers. But July was the original big name.

Was an STX player just making out with his hand as he looked Tossgirl's way? Hahaha

I love how the MBC commentators color coordinate their shirts. Sad that Nal_Ra is among them rather than on the bench. Even B-team Tossgirl gets to sit on the bench.
That Ace match was really good. Not going to lie.

Actually now that I think about Calm's build was fucking awesome that game. It looked like a fake 2-hatch muta (even had the spire build at the same time as the den and built the 3rd hatch at the bottom of his base so it wouldn't get scanned) with the 12 speedlings. He then just used his fast lurkers to defend his 3rd (and later 4th) and basically hive-rushed. He then used lurker-ling-defiler for the most part, with a healthy amount of upgraded hydras which forced iris to make a lot of tanks. Then he transitioned into ultras. It was a really fucking awesome Build.

Or maybe I'm just looking too much into it lol.

Well, he looks like he really enjoys commentating, he's always smiling. I'd prefer if he was still playing and kicking ass, but if he lost his motivation and decided to move on, I'll be happy for him.

Well Iris did see 3 hatch build, so no 2 hatch.
Main things why this build worked out good. Fake spire and weak 3 hatch base play and hiding lurkers. Calm managed to take all Iris m&m from natural to kill those 2 lurkers and drones could maynard with no problems to 3rd gas (kept expansion hidden).
Iris scouted his 4th gas attempt before he even did know that Calm had 3rd gas up and running (I guess he guessed possible expansion somewhere). Perhaps he felt he was way ahead but failed to scout

The team standings are currently very silly. Lecaf has 4 less games played than some teams, yeesh.

Nice fiction. Now for some facts:
July left MBC over a salary slash during contract renegotiation, which didn't make sense since he played a big role in MBC winning the PL through out 06. With fist full of moola SKT scooped up July, and Bisu soon after. Now, there's no documented rivalry outside of televised esports b/w July and Bisu. Even then it's made up by fan hype cus, naturally, they each specialize in destroying the other. Rivalry? Okay. Friction? Dreamed up.
I can think of one guy in SKT July hates though, and he hates July. He's also a senior on the team (you know what that means). Yeah, it's Gorush. These two can't stand each other, if they discuss strategy they disagree on everything. So if there's a source of tension from inside SKT1 affecting July, it's Gorush and his seniority. Personally I hate 'em, haven't done jack after leaving GO and arrogant as hell.
Since transferring to STX, July's done much better. STX is a young team, and to an old, accomplished player like July, there's no one else like him there. It's home.

Noooo movie, whats happening to you, you looked so promising and now youve lost to an ace player/bogus T_T

Very good to see STX won a PL match.
I wanted to see this "sKyhigh" kid, since it was the first time I've ever heard of him. I guess I'll have to download and watch the vods and see for myself what is he all about.
I'm glad that Effort and July won though. <3

Savior played in the MSL survivor, that counts towards KeSPA I think.
