Daylights savings owns me. 1 more hour of staying up to be able to watch these things live.
Go 2nd best ZvZer of all-time! Go Fake Fake Yellow!
|
It's been a while since I watched Lux play ZvZ, but I have faith that he's still leagues above anybody other than JD.
|
this will be one of the shortest semifinals in history
|
Go Zero!
That would be really weird if he gets into the finals playing all but one ZvZ.
|
Can somebody post the DAUM link?

omigosh im so starved for live starcraft can't wait to watch this although I am sorta absorbed in Dwarf Fortress right now

who's worse vP?
TLPD: Luxury vP = 36-27 (57.14%) Zero vP = 9-12 (42.86%)
conclusion: GO GO ZERO!!!!

Go 2nd best ZvZer of all-time! Go Fake Fake Yellow! Daylight savings got me as well. I checked and South Korea currently has no DST. 2:00 AM or 2:30 AM starting times during this half of the year sucks.

Haha Zero has a likeable face.Hope he wins gogo Zero !!

It's easy to assume Lux will take it, but man there have been quite a share of upsets lately. Ya never know. Nonetheless, I'm betting on Lux.

+1. When it hit 4:30 EST I jumped for joy because its the first sc game in 2 days. Needless to say, I got owned =(
Anyways, I LB'ed on Lux, so go Lux!

zvz is too random, and both are very good at the matchup, dunno wut to predict, but hoping for lux, even though he will probably get raped by toss then in finals =/

Haha, yeah. The last 18:00 match time pwn'd me. At least I knew to show up at the proper time this time around, but damn DST.

I'd root for either of these guys in the final but...I think Zero has the best shot at winning it all, so I will pull for him here.

I usually try daum every time, but after refreshing 5 or 10 times and each time hanging up my browser I give up. I have yet to see anything from Daum load and make a picture.
The actual Daum player works decently enough though.

Lol, yes. Trust me, I've spend the entirety of many a match trying to get that "daum" thing to work (lol bad pun). For me, Firefox can load the page, but the player itself won't load (as in not even the face buttons will show). On IE, it has worked once before, but lately the pages won't even register and load at all.
So, with that said, a relay would be greatly appreciated.

i'm watching it on my laptop so making it fullscreen is not that bad. Probably on a big desktop monitor the quality would be a big mess....

ok honestly i don't know what zero was doing.
he had the tech advantage and had mutas out wayyyy earlier than luxury. he knew that it was going to be his 1 hatch vs lux's 2 hatch which means he has to do damage fast. but when he got mutas he chased luxury's lings all the way back into his base when he already had a sunk up?
wtf?

its what we zergs like to call "the fear" being overly offensive can mean you lose those early muta.. since he had an idea of lux's build but not his exact spire timing.. it should have been gg, but it happens.. THE FEAR is a powerful force.

I think Zero sent the Mutas back to get the lings because he didn't have a sunk at his second hatchery. He probably figured he wasn't too far behind if he did so because he delayed Lux's second hatch.

i think the ball was actually in luxury's court to do something before zero's expo got up, because then they would be even on hatches and zero has the extra gas potential, so zero just needed to defend for another ~45 seconds (which obviously failed lol)

But tvt maybe a bit more since i'm a terran.
Terran vs terran might be "boring" at times, but it also is very deep and lots of stuff can happen.
ZvZ is more or less similar every time, but it has quite a bit of psychology involved (especially in series like bo3 and bo5).
I hope for lots of epic games this series

Lux might. He's been known to throw in the occasional 4 or 5pool.
edit: but if he considers 5pool to be a 50/50 shot, he probably shouldn't do it. He's the better player here.

Terran vs terran might be "boring" at times, but it also is very deep and lots of stuff can happen. ZvZ is more or less similar every time, but it has quite a bit of psychology involved (especially in series like bo3 and bo5).
It just gets old having the entire game decided by the same exact air battle almost every game that isn't already over by lings.

12pool vs....
9gas 12pool or something from zero

Zero is getting gas b4 pool
Lux is getting his pool.

I would love to see ultralisk in ZvZ.. Though i only saw once in my life time, and that is hilarious..

The match is boring for lux, he yawns a lot.
|
zero not getting any lings?
but lux isn't attacking so it'll pay off
|
wow Zero's birthday is Feb 18, the same as my gf's. GO ZERO!
|
zero about to be burned for suimping on lings?
|
lux tries to sneak some lings by, but a second lord sees it. probably the first lord saw them
|
Oh no, Lux breaks in with lings again..
|
LUX FORCES A SPIRE CANCEL
|
god damnit for once daum isnt working
|
zero w/ like no lings, lux breaks ramp
|
|

LMAO Zero saw the lings but didn't prepare.
doesnt even cancel spire.

why did he tried to save ling, More Ling won't hurt dumbS

Luxury sending out more zerglings.

Zero doesn't even have speed on lings but lux does.

shouldn't Zero be more prepared for ZvZ? I mean his last 2 rounds were ZvZ while Luxury did other MU
|
|
Zero need more rape lesson from fellow zerg players.
|
|

GG.. Lux won again.. Geez..
|
luxury 2-0! yes!!
|

GG, my LB's happy, how many people from top 7 voted for Zero?<3

this is embarassing, savior shame on you.
|
Zero ggs!
If Lux wins the next one in a similar fashion this was hardly worth staying up for.
|
I think its obvious who asked Jaedong to practice with him. lol
|
So disappointing to see such quality in semi final.

Wow that zergling hide was brilliant!

This may be the fastest competition i'm watching man..

Sexy ling hide from Luxury.

Luxury is now in the same position he was in Ever 2008.
That time he epic failed and gave up a 2-0 lead.

Anyone else think this is a pretty good indicator of how savior measures up to other top zergs? To lose to zero like he did and see zero get dominated by luxury like this certainly brings up questions...

Dude, what kind of comparison is this? Zero playing like shit today doesn't mean he's a shitty quality player. The same Zero that Savior faced would be keeping Luxury on his toes.

i disagree. its already been said that zero produces very inconsistent results, and while its impossible to argue that savior is still a top zvz player ( >_< ), i'm pretty sure he's not as bad as zero made him look.

Most ZvZ result are usually decided on Mutas fighting out, but zero can't even bring out a Mutas for LOL sake.

lux brown at top

But hey Coffee, after I got my internet back up and running, I found that your tip to install the WMP plugin worked. Weird part is I actually did have it installed without knowing it, but I installed it again anyway, and now Daum is working on FF. And yes, the previous version was enabled. Weird, but either way cool.

One of the worst semis I've ever seen. Can't say I ever expected anything from Zero. :/ Oh well, at least lux is in the finals, he deserves that much.
|
9/10 Doctors recommend 9pool
|
Zero may have Muta micro at Jaedong and Luxury's level but when you suck at BOs in ZvZ you don't win them ... The chances that Luxury and Jaedong will get a BO loss are slim to none as their percentage in ZvZ show's it ...
|
Wow, talk about rating turd. 3-0 ZvZ's got to suck for MBC.
Really annoyed that Luxury won though, because now we can look forward some a bunch of all-in and cheeses in the finals. At least Zero's willing to play macro game ZvP.

Rooting for Luxury in the finals, though he probably won't win.

JangBi will take up Stork's throne as the King of Second place when he loses the finals to Lux.

I actually think he's gonna win this. He's a creative dude, and he seemed pretty disappointed at Bacchus, after he went from 2-0 to 2-3 like that. I don't think he wants to make the same mistake again.
Unless, of course, he's too busy practicing for OSL and the Winner's League playoffs.

Yellow was the first to be King of Second place. Stork was second to inherit that honor, that makes him TRUE king of second places. He's even second at getting second.

Yup since Stork already got himself an OSL gold !
All Luxury has to do now is blow away bad fantasy tommorow , and from then on its just 12 hours of practise ZvP with good PvZ partners and he has it made !

This whole Stork/Jangbi as Neo-YellOw bullshit has got to go. Neither of them is a legend of YellOw's caliber.
Besides Stork WON A STARLEAGUE, stop these jokes already.
It just as bad as the toss 1a2a3a4aGG jokes.

You obviously haven't seen Luxury's ZvP recently. Let me give you a hint. It's not as a macro style zerg ala Savior back in his glory days.

If Jangbi gets to the finals he doesn't deserve the respect of straight up play. This was nada's msl. He destroyed so many dreams in that quarterfinal.
So every player who beats Nada should not be respected? What kind of fucked up logic is that?

You obviously like replying in a condescending manner. Let me give you a hint, you don't have to play a macro style game to make an epic series. What you do need is to be good enough so you don't get raped 3-0 and produce an even series. This Luxury can do, can't say the same for Zero.

I responded that way to emphasize my original point, which you apparently did not comprehend. I never said anything about Luxury's ability as a ZvPer. Just his style.

Uhh, Luxury vs zero game 2? he saw the lings coming out and made drones... 4 lings on the ramp cant hold 10 or so speedlings, and the sunk was waaaaay late, he didnt cancel the spire when it was obv he couldn't hold it. poor kid fell apart.

I can't believe how people are seriously thinking Luxury can take this MSL... He may have cheesed his way through Leta but he won't be able to pull it off against JangBi. On the off chance that Stork beats JangBi, things could get interesting though.

Sick! I cracked a big smile when I saw the results as I was expecting a Luxury facepalm series. I honestly think he can win MSL this season if he puts his heart to it. He has the talent! Go Lux. KTF pride!

Have you even seen how much Luxury's ZvP has improved over the past six months?
|
I think Luxury can take the MSL but I also think that Jangbi could. Luxury might have a better chance because he isn't traumatized from getting 2 silvers in a row and Jangbi might have a better chance because he has been in 2 finals, granted they were both against Bisu and when you play Bisu the only thing you get from it is sore ass ( unless you are Jaedong).

Yes, that's true. But the vast majority of those were single games. Of course Luxury can win single games against pretty much anyone, because he's a creative and cheesy player. I never said he can't take a game from JangBi or Stork but I highly doubt he can win a BoX against them, especially not a Bo5. And yes, I know it is a final. Anything can happen.

All brutal murders. Well... actually the 2nd and the 3rd could be considered brutal suicides.

Ouch... ZerO got flayed alive...
After many years and tries, Luxury is finally in a SL final.

So are any of these games worth watching? I'm not too surprised, but somewhat disappointed... oh well let's hope the finals are good.

1. Luxury hid his first 6 zerglings.
2. Luxury moved out with 4 zerglings, the overlord saw it. Zero: "I can build one round of drones and then zerglings, and I'll still be able to hold it off."
3. While Zero's overlord couldn't see, Luxury brought his hidden six zerglings out, and two more that just spawned.
Then Zero had 4 lings on the ramp and Luxury had 12 zerglings attacking the ramp.
What Zero did was right, it was just Luxury being clever.

I think the outcome of the final will be as follows: Luxury > JangBi or Luxury < Stork.
I think JangBi's PvZ is not that good, despite his 60% win rate. He has consistently shown he can beat weak zergs, but gets pwned by S class zergs.
Stork will beat Luxury in a 5 game series I think. People have claimed that Stork is slumping, but he's doing really well. He'll probably win in the OSL this week too, against Jaedong.

Idk, maybe from the same people who keep saying Lux's zvp is bad. Look forward to Luxury 5 pooling these guys in game 1 and then they are completely thrown off their game. Look at Luxury's last 10-15 he has many quality wins against dragons. Jangbi's is just not quite as impressive. Jangbi or Stork can win, but give Lux a chance.

They were all brutal murders, but Luxury absolutely pwned Zero in game 2 with a really cool strategy.

Game 1 and 2. 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.
|
It is better that Luxury made it to the finals than Zero. Zero's ZvP is even worse than Luxury and we know how good Luxury's ZvP is . 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.

As far as I can remember, most of those wins are quite cheesy. 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?

stoopid zero. he takes out savior then gets his ass handed to him. 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

good job luxury!
but now all the savior fans are pissed o_o~!!

grats to luxury for the win, and i like how he tricked zero in the 2nd game. 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.

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.

Lux can totally beat Jangbi or Stork. his zvp isn't on the level of JD or July, but it certainly is no slouch. Also Jangbi's PvZ record is super over-inflated due to like 10 wins over yarnc last year lol
|
I think kespa should make all ZvZs no rush 15.
edit: After posting I realized I am actually not kidding.
|
Just watched the vods. Luxury just completely our played Zero. Sad to see such a disappointing semifinal.
|
When that many zerglings come, you build lings, not drones. The fact that Zero built drones is the best proof that he didn't see all the zerglings come from Luxury's base. Even if he did, it was too late to use the larvae for something else.
|
lux's zvp really isn't that great. it's good, but it's not at the level of jaedong / july. and i think that lux has what it takes to perform (i.e. not choke) well in the finals. that said, i think he has a better chance against jangbi than stork. while jangbi is past choking (i guess that's what two consecutive finals vs bisu does to you), his series play isn't as focused on mind games as stork's is. stork can definitely beat lux (3-2), especially since he's probably practicing pvz 24/7 right now to beat jaedong. either way, they should produce some good games
edit: i hope that this isn't a repeat of the ever 2007 osl, where jaedong lost one game then discovered his zvp powers and then destroyed stork. that was depressing =(

Taken from the translated interview about Game 2 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..
|
Lux just plain outplayed Zero. Sure, Zero has fantastic muta micro, but if that's all it took to win ZvZ then JD wouldn't be at such a sick win rate in the MU. It has just as much to do with metagame and savvy. Lux is a longtime vet of ZvZ and he was only underdog to JD. I liquibetted Zero just for the hell of it, but it doesn't come as any surprise that Lux won. Lux's play was way more intelligent. Zero was just plain OFF on all his timings and he was so damn greedy with some of his builds. Game 2 and 3 were especially bad.
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.
|
wow need to check out games gj lux better luck next time zero
|
this was a lot more one-sided then i thought it would be. zero is slightly disappointing. i had hope that he would be the next superstar but i guess not.

Huh? Luxury is 8-2 in the last 10 ZvP including wins over Jangbi, Bisu and Stork. And you think he has no chance? Jangbi's recent PvZ record isn't solid at all. As far as I can remember, most of those wins are quite cheesy. 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?
Uh but... those were ALL best of 1.
This is going to be a best of 5, something you obviously know is quite a different beast. Remember Luxury is that guy that went mass ling against Archons 
It's improved sure, his real test will be against a protoss in 5 though.

No problem. Sorry if my post sounded a little harsh or anything, I didn't mean to pick on you. I just took the last post mentioning the "hiding thing" to quote

Mannnnn. Zero just got dismantled. I am sad now.

I love how so many people in this topic think Zero is a terrible player just because he had a bad day, by the way. Apparently you're not allowed to have a bad day or you're shit.
|
Well it's not like getting destroyed even once has no meaning. When a player loses badly it is something. When FBH got 0-3ed by Bisu it was sad, sure it was only one series but it did show how much FBH still had to go.
I wouldn't say Zero is a bad player because of this series, but it certainly grounds the hopes of Zero's fans.

He could have laid down a sunken immediately and not taken nearly as much damage, but he did it when they were busting his ramp. Really disappointing play by ZerO.

Maybe you should watch the game again instead of reading interviews. VOD is up on youtube. As I said, Luxury was TRYING to trick ZerO. That doesn't change the fact that ZerO went for his late 4lings without having any scouting information. Maybe he thought Luxury had a hidden expo when he saw no lings at his ramp, but only a short time later he saw the lings running by his overlord.
Even if he didn't see them, the latest possible moment in the game where ZerO definitely saw ALL the lings coming was when they crossed the bridge exiting Luxury's base. If he had immediately placed a sunken by then he'd have been perfectly fine.
Btw. I don't even believe that ZerO actually thought there was a hidden expansion. Why would he do that? Just for the hell of it? Destination might be a map where hidden expos are common in ZvZ. But that doesn't justify Luxury basing his strategy on ZerO having a "bad feeling there might be an expo" since he didn't have any valid scouting information. I'd like to hear ZerO's point of view on this.

Just so happens FBH also knocked Savior out of an MSL in the Ro8.
Came home late to check the results and although I was hopeful in ZerO, I wasn't surprised. Although ZerO's mutalisk control may be amazing, in terms of all the other quirks in ZvZ, Lux has got him topped.

well if zero did so badly against lux... wouldn't that mean savior would get raped even more if he advanced?

No one thinks Zero is the "best player", not even me. There are just people, who (JUSTIFIABLY SO) think Zero has the potential to be at that level someday, based on how well he plays at his best. Do you remember his game earlier in this MSL where he knocked out Bisu? That was some amazing StarCraft.

I don't know if you should expect more from Zero here. People tend to forget that after JD's ZvZ, Lux is next best in a class by himself. I hate to point at ELOs because they're just statistics but... go look at ZvZ ELO rankings/peaks.

LOL @ Lux is a "cheesy" player. He didn't win vs Leta just by cheesing, he won by being ballsier, smarter and overall a better Bo5 player. Those qualities go a long way. "Real" Starcraft isn't just winning 40 minute "standard" games by smacking your keyboard faster, its about winning Bo3s and Bo5s by whatever means necessary. There's no "cheese" in a Bo5 and no one gives a crap who was mechanically more solid.

No he's not. Luxury is not in a class by himself when it comes to ZvZ. It's Jaedong and then Zero/Savior/Luxury (typically). The main problem with ZerO is that the bastard is so freaking streaky that he sometimes plays AMAZING and then plays really BAD.
That ELO peak was awhile ago and means pretty much nothing.

This. Lux's muta and ling micro so far outclass zero and savior, that it wouldn't be close... and he dismantled zero harder than zero dismantled savior. Savior should definitely have been mentioned in that second tier from his previous days, but right now his muta micro just isn't enough to hold up on its own.

ZvZ is about more than just muta micro, even though Savior may not be on the same level as Luxury or Zero (on a good day) he's still probably 4th or 5th ZvZ around. I mean, aside from those 3 who's better? Maybe some combination of Hyvaa/Calm/Effort? People make it out like he's completely washed up in ZvZ because of one series loss, but aside from that his recent performance in the matchup hasn't been half bad.
