Hiya had perfect position at that time.

Hmm... if you start with that tactic, as soon as the T starts moving out, isn't it a better idea to switch to pure mutalisk production?

Seriously. I normally root for Lecaf, but I've been hoping Hiya would lose since game one. Dull mech play isn't winning me over, either.
Hopefully Up can get rid of Hiya, but that means he'll play mech vs Jaedong, if they even send Jaedong. -.-

theyd send forgg first prolly, and forgg will play kinda half assed like he usually does in tvp, slowly lose the lead then come up with the Amazing Tank Vanguard out of nowhere and claim victory.

He could have killed that push so easily if he had just built more zerglings...

exactly, the excitement of tvz is killing a group of lurkers with a control group of mnm, not a-moving with 50 tanks and 50 goliaths.

blargh what the shit a round of mutas couldve mopped up that push

the hole battle reminded me of Zapp Branigan and Futurama

Seeing the way Hiyas tanks were sieged, it wouldve been way better for hyvaa to go for a straight up hydra push instead of trying to flank
|
if hiya does all kill. im gonna cut myself.
|
If it's not upmagic im going to be PISSED.

He needs to read a certain guide by Day9. Where were the mutas?! Tanks are almost the perfect counter to hydralisks, you really have to be an idiot to build only hydralisks against a tank army.

go fucking rape him up i hate seeing hiya win like this.

Would've been a better choice than Tester probably for the first map, not sure why they decided to use a protoss there..
|
Yeah, that's the 'evolution' of mech.
Expect standard play? Early vultures own your drones and you lose to the control group of goliath timing push every time.
Scout early due to expecting mech? Overload on hydras early and try an early break like Jaedong did vs Flash.
Now the terrans start turtling instead of making tons of goliaths since they'll actually lose to the early hydras. The zerg mass expands while the terran gets assloads of tanks. Zergs play like it's ZvP, but mass hydras don't beat mass tanks.

Maybe Hiya is just better than all those Estro players. Also if that is the case how did a 3 game "warmed up" Leta lose to Free? You're talking nonsense

Upmagic upgrading something in his machine shop
Hiya with 1 vult out (0 for Up)
Hiya's vult going right for Up's main, and dies to some newly made tank and vult

Upmagic pumping units from his 2 facs
UPMAGIC MOVING INTO HIYA'S NAT, PRESSURING WITH HIS TANK/VULT
YAHH HIYA DEFENDS IT WITH HIS OWN TANK/VULT, HAD TO PULL SOME SCVS HOWEVER

|
bad micro from up, he lost that tank
|
Upmagic also taking his nat now, Hiya's floating rax preventing correct placement, but hey, he can just float it
Upmagic's nat is up and running, SCVs transferred

please lecaf, send out jaedong to finish up upmagic! i'll like to see a rematch between these two, especially since their last game was so pathetic.

This is the first all kill in the Winner's League ▲ I am grateful I did the first all kill. We(ktf) did many teamleague battles with other teams offline and I did many all kills.

- Did you think you would all kill? ▲ Honestly I knew Jangbi would be my hardest opponent. When 2 oclock was down I felt like I lost the game, but my muta control was good. When I beat him I felt very confident.
- Long ago at the Kespa Cup you all-killed KTF. ▲ That wasn't broad casted at that time. I didn't really feel anything. However today, everyone was watching me do it so it felt amazing.
- Alot of people said stuff on the line of Flash will do everything. Did you feel bad about this? ▲ Yes I felt very bad for Flash and ashamed of myself. But I extended my practice time by 1.5x more.I believe extending my practice time is one of the reasons why my performance has increased.
- What did Flash say to you? ▲ Flash told me "Hyung you are amazing!" I felt I was doing good today too.
- Khan's aces are very difficult players. ▲ Before the match I was very worried about Firebathero. However the map was Andromeda (Luxury is 10:2 on Andromeda, which is unheard of for a ZvT record) so I earned alot of confidence that I could win.
- You destroyed great's hive play. ▲ I practice ZvZ alot anyways so I believe I was able to take the game. I actually didn't see that he was going hive. However I believed I had the "EE-HAN-TIMING" so my attack would be unblockable.
- You showed a very strong side of you when you played against Stork. ▲ Well I was up ahead 2 games from stork. Although there were times I felt threatened everything worked the way I imagined it to be.
- 스타리그에 이어 초반 공격에 집중하는 모습이다 - Like from the starleague, you are showing alot of your aggressive style. ▲ Long ago I was very very aggressive, at round 2 I tried switching to a more Game Management Style (ie savior style). Now, I want to mix both aggressive and management style. This way my opponents won't read me as easily.
- Before set 6 (FBH vs LUX), what kind of play were you imagining? ▲ FirebatHero loves 8 Raxing, so I decided to play safe.
- Your control got better and better after each game. ▲ After the Jangbi match my hands were full exercised. Thats why I think my control got better. Also when I won I got to stay in the game for the next match which made me alot happier.
- Plans for the future ▲ I will not celebrate because I did 1 allkill. I will train/practice harder so I can get better and do more. I want to raise my team's stats by the winner's league, and that is my top priority of now.
- Last words ▲ Because of proleague we practiced till 3am. I want to thank everyone and all the fans who cheered for us.

Please don't flame me for having read up on info and making quite a statement that is supported by sources/evidence. Thank you dude if u come across a player u don`t expect, who prepared a great strategy that was made exactly for the purpose of snipping you...feelin` good doesn`t help. Oh sorry maybe it does, but not enough

More TvT!!! GoGo upmagic!

I just learnt something important about Winner's League. You can't select the teams' best players on it since they will normally only play last and the team will usually have won by then... =(

upmagic is in solid form, but T v T is always tricky.

Oh sorry maybe it does, but not enough my point is the winner has an advantage. why cant you just accept that it is true from the evidence in the link as well as the statement from someone with experience. yes someone with a different great strategy can pull off a win... i'm not saying that the person who wins the first game somehow becomes a god that can't be brought down. But he has that warmup.. his hands are exercised. His mind is focused on starcraft. He's in the flow.. thereby he has that advantage. If that means he makes fewer mistakes or if that means he can think better ... whatever the case he has that advantage.

INTRO PLAYED
forGG vs Upmagic STARTING!
forGG is teal at 11 o'clock Upmagic is red at 5 o'clock
|
Up red at bottom, Forgg at top green
|
UpMagiC's depot finishes 2 seconds before ForGG's. He's going to beat ForGG with pure mechanics.
|
Both opening really standard, rax/gas
Upmagic scouting quite early in comparison

Fac going up for both players
Scouting SCVs both in the enemy base
Upmagic's gets killed by 1 marine
Forgg sees Upmagic is 2 facting and runs away
|
Forgg is going 1 fact CC
This is looking very similar to the previous game...
Ahh, but Forgg is pressuring Upmagic with 2 marines, and 1 vulture incoming
|
1 VULT 2 MARINES IN UPMAGIC'S MIN LINE
PROBES BEING TAKEN OUT
AHH UPMAGIC'S REINFORCEMENTS (1 TANK/1VULT) COME OUT JUST IN TIME
|
Forgg putting up a Starport, and tranferring SCVs to his nat just as it finishes
Upmagic now taking his nat
Upmagic moving out, pumping units from 2 facts
|
I think only 2-3 scvs were taken out. Up still has this

AHHH UPMAGIC ATTACKING FORGG'S NAT WITH VULTS
FORGG FORCED TO LIFT HIS NAT CC
UPMAGIC FLOATING HIS RAX OVER FORGG'S UNITS
|
FORGG GETS SIEGE, UPMAGIC FORCED TO BACK OFF
STARPORT IS UP AND FLASHING FOR FORGG
|
Luxury basically said that the first match was the most difficult. That could have had something to do with jangbi killing his third as well.
But some players get tired faster and some players rely heavily on preparation... sigh, I already said this.

Wining 3 games before doesn`t help that much, even if u are motivated Not my point.. its not so much motivation but a physical/mental advantage. READ MY LINK... READ THE INTERVIEW... just read it. You seem to have skipped that and went straight into defending yourself. Read it. Its over.
There is nothing to do with a physical/mental advantage. If there were, it's a placebo.

Edit: finally Jaedong appears hope he plays well ...

I love Zerg and I love Jaedong, but I'm teared in half because I'm a huge Upmagic fanboy...

medusa was played already. Last map is harmony, I dunno I woulda saved Jaedong unless he has something special planned for colloseum.

Jaedong's gonna clear up this mess that Hiya and Forgg left for him, no problem.

upmagic has got this in my opinion. he is good with mech, so he has a good shot against jaedong, and lecaf have already used their big guns. who are they going to send next, lomo?

What flaw is that? this is awesome flaw is that the winner has an advantage due to having warmed up from the previous games I actually disagree with this. He could meet an opponents that's more prepared than him, even a sniper read luxury's interview after doing his all kill... he states what i said. that having won the first game the rest feel more natural. it's probably his emotions, however, it`s still a dumb statement. U simply can`t make strong arguments using the interview. In the interview a player can say anything, it`s not like: "so THAT IS IT!" uhhhh... i cite from a person with experience. Specifically a progamer with an all kill experience. Therefore my words are more valid than your "no its not" argument. More specifically read the post about the All-kill format http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=86162.. to further help validate my statement. Please don't flame me for having read up on info and making quite a statement that is supported by sources/evidence. Thank you dude if u come across a player u don`t expect, who prepared a great strategy that was made exactly for the purpose of snipping you...feelin` good doesn`t help. Oh sorry maybe it does, but not enough my point is the winner has an advantage. why cant you just accept that it is true from the evidence in the link as well as the statement from someone with experience. yes someone with a different great strategy can pull off a win... i'm not saying that the person who wins the first game somehow becomes a god that can't be brought down. But he has that warmup.. his hands are exercised. His mind is focused on starcraft. He's in the flow.. thereby he has that advantage. If that means he makes fewer mistakes or if that means he can think better ... whatever the case he has that advantage. the winner has some things going for him, the new player also has some things going for them. its not an advantage either way, all depends on who feels more comfortable in what situation. teams prepare snipers specifically for good players, ones who would be capable of all killing. in alot of situations facing an unexpected strategy that your opponent has practiced a hundred times specifically with you in mind will far outweigh having your hands loosened up.

UpMagiC probably has the best or at least like top 3 TvZ mech in the world... Hmm, in any case I'm hoping that the game will last long. A early-midgame push victory by mech would be so depressing, as would a 3-hatch speedling victory.

Fuck I thought this would happen. It seemed like he wasn't expecting mutas at all.

That's what JD thinks of Mech builds.

So, so, wait... should the Z, after getting his few hydras and starting his lair, scout the T and see if he's preparing for mutas or for Lurkers, and then after lair go the way that the mech isn't prepared for... or can they adequately prepare for both of them?

Can the zerg adequately prepare for both lurkers and mutas? In that case doubtful due to gas. On the other hand if you are asking does the zerg HAVE to scout to decide to go lurkers or to go mutas then i believe the answer is no.. but it would be smarter to scout and see if the terran has defense for mutas. that way if he doesn't you can punish the terran.

I think he's asking "can Terran going mech prepare for both muta and lurkers?". I'd be interesting in knowing this too.

in some situations you can know, thats one of the perks of the proxy 8 rax -> mech opening, you can float the rax in their base for scouting.
altho if theyre going 3 hat hydra then it dies and you're stuck at 2 fac for a year or 2
but ya lack of scouting is a big issue with mech. with fantasy's build the drop provided scouting, some terrans will go fac cc port and make a wraith to scout or count on a speedvult runby getting in... altho thats really hit or miss. theres various ways to deal with it, no consensus on whats the best yet.
if you have absolutely no idea and have to prepare for both you're kinda fucked, the bright side is that if they open hard lurk or muta and it does 0 damage and you fe'd you're in really good shape.
|
So uh... how can the Z see which the T is trying to prepare for by sacrificing an overlord right before his lair finishes? Like, what signs should he look for. I guess really early academy is for Lurkers but is there anything specific they can find out at that point?

lol i can imagine what happened
after hiya lost, whatever, let's throw in some ace players lol

All-in games are not meaningless lol. Nowadays the word all-in is used as some kind of justification for making a bad judgement call. Also you have to remember that Upmagic games are destined to be unorthodox and on top of that nowadays people call everything that isn't standard all-in.
Hell people even called savior making a few lings against bisu all-in, if it works the player gets massive credit and if it fails it was meaningless.
And I see that you guys are both lecaf fans, surprise surprise.

Of course all-in games aren't meaningless, they count the same as any other; nothing more nothing less.
The conclusion I draw is that in sensible play Jaedong is an exceptional player; but he is often far too aggressive. When it works it looks awesome... but when it doesn't he looks silly.

They said it was hard to determine the outcome of future games from these two games, and you called them fanboys, which implied these two games obvious showcased enough ability to determine future games. However, these two games were too short to gleam anything useful and you disagreed.

Using all-in as a defense for a player losing is not unbiased. Saying you can't draw any conclusions from all-in games is just plain ignorant.
And your question doesn't even make sense, starcraft isn't 100% determined by ability. If you go back you can see that Im saying that people underestimate the chances of Upmagic beating JD, not determining who's the better player.
Also you're not helping your case by being a lecaf fan lol.

That Upmagic stands a pretty good chance against JD, especially when he goes mech because JD doesn't seem to be handling it too well or takes too many risks against it. This has been my point all along, why are you trying to bring ability into the discussion when it's mainly about player styles.
|
That's silly. Jaedong has probably faced and beaten mech in more games than any other zerg. He's been 'handling' mech better than most.

Avid it was pretty obvious what point he was making. Both the Oz fans claimed JD's loss didn't count because he made an "all-in" move (their words not mine).
What's to say he wont make a silly all-in move again, of course it counts.
Oh and by the way it's ironic that you were biased in your defence of Lecaf Oz fans against claims of them being biased!
Edit: Actually looking again Malinor wasn't biased because he said that he though UpMagic's loss didn't count either. I don't agree with him but if that's what he meant then he is at least consistent.

This has been my point all along, why are you trying to bring ability into the discussion when it's mainly about player styles. and no one disagrees with that, I`ve stated before that I don`t meant to say that "Up can`t beat JD", it`s just that u can`t justify the fact that he CAN / or will beat him because of that first game. It isn`t defence...chill... the term fanboy is used to often nowadays, imho

--; Wtf was the point of wasting one arbiter on a pointless recall in th e SangHo vs HiyA game? Just stasis and fight (or stasis and don't fight, but don't waste the arbiter doing nothing).
Also, what puts me on tilt like nothing else is how pros refuse to fucking target science vessels. They die like flies to dragoons ok!? Target and rape.
Bah.

People assume we're biased and generalize it to it didn't count period. And you're biased against pointing out bias, but we're all biased. Though seriously, Frits is saying you can judge their abilities and future performances against each other from those two games. I'm saying you can't. If they had said UpMagic played badly and neglected to mention the JD game, that would be biased. But they didn't, so it wasn't blatantly fanboyism biased as Frits accused us of.
Anyways, this is pointless debate, I'll stop responding to posts about this.
