Why does it seem like free's arbiters have "the gathering" on?

It probably depends on your definition of macro. Yeah, he got a lot of units out, but he was on 8 bases. He probably could've ended the game a lot sooner with the potential of units he could've churned out.

That seems like standard fare with Free against Terrans. He expands like crazy, which is sometimes good (like today), but often seems to backfire.

against fantasy or leta (someone with really good vulture harass/control) free gets worked by vult harass, because 12 vult > 2 cannons, and then free is running with 5 nex and about 3 probes at 2 of his nex because of the harass. Sea doesn't have that ability.

Yeah, I saw on a Japanese fansite the other day that free's nickname is apparently "Thunder Emperor," which surprised me because I had never heard him called that here. After that Medusa game especially it's pretty clear how he got it.

Here. I found it while searching for something unrelated. I haven't spent too much time there but it looks like they have a lot of the same frontpage news as TL but a much less active community.

Alright, I don't have the power of A+ strategical insight, but Free's haphazard tech switch to Carriers and seemingly imprecise arbiter usage in that game made him look much shakier than he did in this game.

I think the only thing Sea could have done significantly better on is his EMP usage, because Free was so relentless in stasising every single tank cluster ever. And I think that kind of just shows the limit of Sea's multitasking, I guess if he HAD EMPed the Arbiters perfectly, it would have been perhaps the most awesome showcase of vessel vs Arb usage ever (Flash did a really good job vs. Jangbi in Proleague).

But I would definitely say Free showed that he has PvT on Andromeda down to an exact science now, especially since his early harass wasn't as damaging as it could have been.

Not to discredit Free for his incredible play, he is quite monstrous these days.

IMO no t in the world can touch free right now.. MAYBE FlaSh, but that's it. Amazing play from free from those 2 games.

oh and I think MBC needs to stop throwing zergs out there.. what about a Ruby - Sea - Light - Pusan line, who's gonna beat that?

edit : I just looked at ruby's recent record.. is this guy in a major slump or something? =\
3 wins in the last 14 games..
Maybe they don't have a great 4th player then.
