In Game 1, Luxury is significantly behind then comes back to win it somehow. Game 2, Zero is tricked by Luxury where Zero committed his larvae to drones instead of lings. | ||

 . Though Stork and Jangbi's PvZ are strong, Luxury's chances are better if he faces Jangbi instead of Stork. In the OSL, Stork 2-0 one of the twins as well as beating JulyZerg to make it out of the group. | ||

This series has a really depressing result :-( Luxury vs Yoonjoong - You could say that was cheesy, but I'm confident he'd have won anyway. Luxury vs JangBi - an amazing comeback by Luxury after Jangbi took his third base out. Great macro and great mutalisk sniping with mass hydra. Luxury vs Stork - Stork didn't get enough cannons and Luxury's 3 hatch muta into hydraswitch broke him. Luxury vs Bisu - 5pool, Bisu's pylon to main was quite late... not sure why that is. Anyway, after the 5pool Bisu had like 12 probes and Luxury had 8 drones with a second base coming. I wouldn't say Luxury won because of the opening, but yeah it had something to do with it. Luxury vs Best - loss Luxury vs Kal 1 - Luxury opened 9pool speed into 6 lings and double expand. Kal went sair Reaver, Luxury defended it beautifully and completely overran him with mass hydras afterwards. Luxury's macro was amazing in this game as well. Luxury vs Kal 2 - Kal went for a cannon rush, Luxury defended it beautifully by glitching drones through the minerals by getting to the cannons. Then he ran some lings past Kal's cannons, killed probes, finished with mutas Luxury vs Jaehoon - Luxury went for 9-pool speed into a ~12 speedling runby. You could say that that's cheesy, but on a flat map like Medusa I actually consider it a standard opening. Luxury managed to sneak about 5 lings inside and killed numerous probes to seal the victory. Luxury vs Nbs - loss Sooo about most of the games being cheesy... I'm going to assume that you're a huge Bisu fan and only watch his games. Am I correct? | ||

im kind of surprised it looks like it was easy for lux, but apparently a couple games were pretty epic comebacks. gratz to luxury... but i think even making it one more round would have helped sAviOrs confidince more. i just hope he is working on his Patrol-click muta micro so he can deal better with Zergs in the future. im not too worried about his vP or vT... he uses the zerg well enough for that. okay /end fanboy rant | ||

I kinda feel bad for zero tho, he didnt even get one win Omg, one guy writes about Luxury "tricking" ZerO in game 2 and now everyone's like "yay yay that was really cool how he tricked him in game 2" As a matter of fact, Luxury didn't trick him AT ALL. True, he hid his zerglings. But that didn't really play a role in this game, because as ZerO's overlord was moving towards Luxury's base he didn't see any lings at all at the ramp, but he hadn't seen the base yet. It was very well possible that Luxury could be stacking lings somewhere near his hatch, so ZerO should've at least considered it as a possibility. Just because players usually move their lings to the ramp and/or move out immediately, doesn't mean they have to. Thus it was careless by ZerO to go for so few lings so late. When ZerO actually saw Luxury's lings running out, he saw ALL OF THEM including the "hidden" ones. So what he actually did was go for a total amount of 4 late zerglings without scouting information. And even when he saw all of the lings moving out he produced another 1 or 2 drones before producing another 4 zerglings, which popped by the time Luxury was already in his base. No tricking, no genius, no cleverness by Luxury, nothing. Just really bad/careless/risky play by ZerO. Maybe Luxury TRIED to do something tricky, otherwise he probably wouldn't have moved those 6 zerglings up in he corner, but against any half-way safe zerg build it wouldn't have worked. | ||

Well sorry, my mistake then, I thought that due to zero's overlord spotting the first few lings moving out, he made a drone instead of more lings. | ||

Also Jangbi's PvZ record is super over-inflated due to like 10 wins over yarnc last year lol | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=89391 + Show Spoiler + On Destination, you beautifully tricked your opponent Luxury: On Destination, people usually expand quickly and get 2 gas on opening, so when my opponent's overlord came flying in... he probably thought I expanded somewhere already... so in order to get an advantage... he went with econ.. so I seized the opportunity.. | ||

On Lux vs Stork or JB...Stork's already beaten Lux in Bacchus OSL Bo5. He's also beaten JD and July in Bo3 for WCG. And he's lifetime record 8-8 vs JD. Wtf are some people talking like Stork and JB would get crushed by Lux? Stork has said several times in interviews that JangBi helps him practice vZ and gives him pointers. If Stork can epically rape Lux, how bad do you think JangBi would? Alot of people seem to just have it stuck in their head that Stork is C- PvZ. He's an S-class player. Respect. There's a reason Lux isn't ranked up there with the superstars YET. | ||
