Almost live, I'll start hammering the Daumsports stream in a bit.
The second poll is so lopsided. I'm one of the two people who thinks that WeMade will win.

OMG ROFL, FLASH'S PIC IS FUCKING GREAT XD

I think KTF will 3-0

getting on early and getting 2 great streams first try = genius

Yep, streams are up, teams being shown on stage.
Roro and Tempest shaking hands and going into booths.

I can't wait for this, since it's the only non-ZvZ on Battle Royale.

You know, that is pretty sick building placement.
Gateway above forge, Cannons building.
1 Drone is mining for Roro.

TEMPEST PUTS UP A GATE TO WALL OFF THE OTHER DRONES
RORO PULLING ABOUT 6 DRONES TO TAKE OUT THE GATE
CANNON GOING UP, DRONES TRYING TO TAKE OUT THAT WALL
YAHHH JUST AS GATE GOES DOWN, TEMPEST PUTS ANOTHER UP TO WALL

AND HE PULLS IT OFF!
with a shake of the head, roro mentally gg's

CANNON GOES UP, RORO'S DRONES FORCED AWAY
2 LINGS OUT FOR RORO, UNABLE TO DO MUCH

Tempest building a pylon right outside Roro's base only to get caught by a drone about 15 secs later.
Roro sending about half his drones to stop this.
Forge finished and cannon going up.

cannon up! roro.... canceled something.

Jesus, that'll teach me. Had a stream going, but I thought it was a little behind because of the comments, so now I've been spending 5 minutes trying to get a new one with no success. Good call genius. >_<;;
Oh snap, got it now: Tempest cannon rushing roro's choke.

And the KTF mascot is walking around..
Roro thows down a second hatch, gas.
Tempest takes gas, thows down another cannon.

i always love well planned cannon rushes

Actually I fail to understand the point of that cannon rush. It's so FAR from roro's base..... is it occupying roro's natural?

Ror's going 1 base hydra.

Hydra den going up for Roro
Core finished, and Stargate going up for Tempest

Roro going 2 hatch hydra to break the wall+3/4 cannons outside his main.

It's a contain. It's teh equivalent of controlling your opponent's nat-main entrance. Roro's contained to 1 base.

Some more cannons going up for Tempest

1 base tech coming from tempest.
And tempest trapped his probe. The one that's very important to this type of build.

A few more cannons being placed on Tempest's contain

No units to kill them with. Basically he severely underestimated his cannon requirements.

If that break failed Tempest would have won. But Tempest's last two cannons were like 15 seconds too late.

Unfortunately, his contain wasn't too good and Roro broke it with hydras

Not really. If Roro breaks out at all it's a pretty big loss in econ, losing a forge/gateway/cannons. That + the short rush distance means Tempest is pretty much dead.

The fact that Tempest thought his best chance was an all-in bodes very, very poorly for all future non z matches on this map.

He would have had to warp them into a completely different place, losing the point of the nat-main contain.

Let's see ForGG play now that he has practiced with Flash.
God. Twin cannon terran KTF is just going to run everyone over (hopefully, anyway).

They were 15 seconds too late. I think that if he didn't trap his probe they would have been on time.
|
What if Tempest had made just 2 cannons at the front and then another behind and killed Roro's assimilators with it?
|
I think if Tempest daisy-chained 10 cannons Roro would have had to fight though all of them and Tempest probably would have won.

Wow I'm in a bad mood I'm posting like Hot Bid.

Fine, that's my point, at that point in the game, the cannons would not have made it on time, instead I suggested that he build cannons at Tempest's natural in order to kill the assimilator. He could've build the cannons earlier since you don't have to worry about trapped probes at Tempest's base and the cannons could kill the assimilators thus blocking any units from reaching Tempest's base allowing his reaver to get out or whatever Tempest was going for.

2nd round started. forGG is DEFINATELY going to win. i mean.... 71 percent win over zerg vs like a 30% win vs terran. get real haha
|

The main problem with that is that Tempest had no scouting - Roro could've 1 base teched to mutas and then Tempest would've autolossed.

INTRO PLAYED
SHINE VS FORGG STARTING! Shine is blue at 3 o'clock Forgg is white at 9 o'clock
|
let's go forGG! So far my fantasy team has worked out perfectly, but I'm less sure of my 3-pointers (forGG and hwasin)...
|
Shine's Blue Z3 ForGG's White T9.
I don't know what map this is, the wheel-spoke one?
|
Shine[kaL] at 3 o' clock Blue
fOrGG at 9 o' clock White
Map: Heartbreak Ridge
|
They both drone/scv scouted to avoid proxies.
|
No cheese this time.
SHINE'S OVERLORD GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION OMFGWTF
Shine sending a fairly early drone to scout, around the same time as Forgg sends his SCV
|
Forgg building an E-Bay on Shine's nat
|
early scout from forGG and thank god it's not BBS
|
ForGG walled off, hmm... and he build an ebay to prevent the 12 hatch.

LOL there was a guy holding a girl's chin hhahahahhaha

ROFL. The camera caught that guy holding that girl's chin (wtf).

Forgg stops building the E-Bay, and Shine pulls drones to kill it
Shine building his nat hatch right after
|
Shine's regained control of his nat, Forgg's rax half done.
Girl sucking lollipop.
Shine's pool just started.

Well, other than the fact that it doesn't look like he's following up with 2port wraiths. But whatever.
|
|
2 rax before cc for Forgg?
|
Shine's scouting drone runs out of Forgg's main
CC going up at Forgg's nat
|
nvm rax-cc-rax for Forgg.
|
|
Shine doing nefarious min mining at lower left. Morphing in Lair.
|
Shine sending a drone to mine out Forgg's 7 o'clock minerals
4 lings out for Shine, chasing Forgg's scout
|
|
KTF's mascot is embarassing.
|
i'm way behind on the stream o.o"
|
KTF mascot enjoying his dance! LOL!
|
very nice scv pull
and great medic timing.
|
|
Yeah. I never liked the mascot.
|
Forgg sees the drone mining out the back 7 o'clock minerals
Shine sending a few speedlings to Forgg's nat
Forgg getting defensive, SCVs and rines blocking a bunker
Shine tries to move in, but is forced out by the marines
|
Shine making a sneak expo at 11 o'clock?!
4th rax going up for Forgg
Shine sending a few lings to the 7 o'clock minerals, which were mined out
|
Forgg scouts the min mine, Ling play at ForGG"s nat. Spire up for Shine.
Third also goes down @ Upper right for Shine, Id on't know what that means. in terms of expo count, I swear I saw a fourth too.
|
Shine being bold. Building a hatchery at 11 o' clock right above fOrGG's base!!
|
forGG's backdoor is open.
|
Ling backstab attempted by Shine, mostly fails.
Muta out for Shine.
|
|
|
Mutas are out for Shine
Forgg is aware of the back entrance, and positions his marines to defend
Mutas taking out some stray fbats
Lings running into Forgg's main, but no damage is done
|
Mutalisks out for Shine. Manages to sneak a few lings into fOrGG's main.
|
ah!
2 bats die, free scout for shine
|
ForGG threw turrets down everywhere.
|
Forgg throwing down 12 turrets.
|
|
A lot of turrets up for Forgg, Shine doing his best at taking out any stray units/turrets
|
|
Aww. The turrets are on the wrong side.
|
How is this muta harass effective, ForGG's invested at least 1000 mins into turrets.
|
Shine finding the gaps and killing several scvs despite the veritable turret forest Forgg has erected.
|
wow, these turrets are useless, shine's still taking out SO many scvs
|
|
Shine's muta micro dealing a good chunk of damage, and even more mutas are on the way
Queen's Nest starting up at Shine's sneak expo at 11 o'clock
|
shine has an odd expansion on top of forGG's base. Queen's nest down.... guardian rush?
|
ForGG only has 6 scvs mining at his nat.
|
this isn't looking good for forgg...
this map seems strong for muta harass zvt
|
HIve coming in for Shine. The map really makes muta harass impossible to fend off.
|
Shine has so many muta, over 2 control groups.
|
|
Did forGG forget marine range or something?
|
well my fantasy season is over : (
|
Shine's muta micro is still doing so much damage
Hive morphing at Shine's nat
Even more mutas on the way, full stack of them going for Forgg's turrets
|
I think shine has won the game already >_<
|
I THINK SHINE CAN WIN HERE
|
ForGG has a HUGE hole in his turret defense that Shine is simply abusing. It's like he didn't practice that at all?
|
I can't wait until Jaedong plays this map.
|
DAYUM Shine's micros his mutas to eprfection, taking out all of Forgg's marines
Hive almost done, A LOT of mutas gathering at the middle of the map
(I have Forgg on my fantasy team and I'm cheering for Shine, that's how good he is T.T)
|
Somewhere, PianO is crying.
|
Shine has torn down nearly every turret at Forgg's expansion leaving it exposed. He's also killed off Forgg's mm. Shine has complete map control and a TON of muta.
|
Yeah. I don't see how ForGG can win at this rate.
|
Greater spire.
I think the leagues are going to have a lot more ZvZ this season.
|
Greater spire is on the way. ForGG is fucked.
|
|
GOIN IN WITH TONS OF MUTAS
|
Shine just abused that one turret hole that ForGG had and got a huge advantage, now it looks like a Guardian switch is going to finish him.
|
GREATER SPIRE MORPHING, LETS SEE THOSE GUARDIANS
2 full muta stacks on the prowl still, taking out a bunch of marines and SCVs
|
Shine's Mutas harrasing like crazy at both main and expo! fOrGG losing alot of SVC's!
fOrGG trying his best to defend but is in a pretty bad position now.
|
Haha, Shin'es trying to do that two control group muta micro thing.
|
|
GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG FROM FORGG
|
|
|
Double muta stack takes out all of Forgg's bio
Forgg GGs
Wemade 2-0 KTF
This is why I love the 2 new WeMade zergs
|
Forgg types out before guardians to mass mutas inside his base.
|
|
Holy shit, learn to build turrets in your min line.
|

forgg has now caught the 'join ktf and slump for life' curse
|
|
FFFFFUUUUU Weak performance from fOrGG.
|
ouch my fantasy team felt that one
|
I think they can still win cuz luxury/flash are next and they're gonna pwn so bad
|
lame, no turrets in range of his mineral line and poor marine mobility to get there... I don't understand what his plan was? It's like he barely practiced at all, surely he played tvz against luxury?
|
forgg i spent points on yo ass!
|
Flash isn't useful if you can't get to the fourth set.
|
nooooooo shine is on my anti
|
Come on Luxury and Flash!
|
ForGG's turret placement in the main was lol, 7 turrets that never fired a shot.
|
|
Maybe luxury will make up for it by playing in the ace match...
|
probably too early to say but shine at least makes Heartbreak Ridge look imbalance in ZvT against ForGG
the nat min line is very open to muta harass and I don't know if it was an issue with ForGG's turret placement in his main, but there was a lot of room for Shine to muta harass whether doing it in ForGG's main or nat
|
sync 2.0  forgg can go to estro and we can get a good toss and play hoejja
|
|
Commentators are saying that Terrans shouldn't really go bionic in this map early on. They're saying that Terrans should play like Leta did by harrasing early on OR go straight mech.

|
wtf i have shine[kal] in my anti team and forgg in my main team >
|
really surprized forgg lost. his tvz percentage is 71 percent to shine's 30%. Luxury/Flash have to win the next 2 if they want to win. Next is luxury vs pure. Luxury's zvp is REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY strong these days. So I'm guessing this is an auto win. But who knows. forgg lost to a zerg.
|

So when I was making my fantasy team I was trying to decide between KTF + Forgg or 2-pointer + Samsung.
I think I made the wrong decision.

the nat min line is very open to muta harass and I don't know if it was an issue with ForGG's turret placement in his main, but there was a lot of room for Shine to muta harass whether doing it in ForGG's main or nat I think fOrGG was trying to build turrets above his cliff but zerglings interrupted, a critical mistake.
it was obviously a timing issue, but even if ForGG built turrets on the ridgeline above his nat, I think it would have been very difficult to maintain turrets up there
his marines would be yoyoing back and forth between defending the ridge & defending his nat against the mutas

Maybe perhaps it was because JD owning fOrGG so bad it caused him to be in a huge state of shock??

You put Sea on your Anti-team? Like it's a good choice, it's not like he's going to be winning much but I thought you were an MBC fan.
Or are you just a Pusan fan.

Pure versus Lux. Let's see if Fakesteve's Lux ZvP prediction is true.

hopefully not wemade 3-0. lol.

that was just horrible turret placement. it's obvious that muta harass is very strong on this map though. hopefully terrans will learn how to play this map soon. seems like they're still trying out relatively basic strategies

Luxury and Flash are both going to win, and then KTF is going to send out

Yea, apparently Pure messed up.

And a DT and a drone sit out of each other's vision at 12's nat.
Pure has done no damage to Lux.

That was pretty bad for the best ZvP in the world.

maybe lux should have listned to day9's podcast about redundancy, scourges, hydras and static defences are overomittment against sairs ^^

Feel good for Pure. That kid has been slumping forever now. It's nice to see him shine again.
|
Since when did Fox's zergs get better?
|
Luxury's ZvP is nowhere near the best in the world. If he doesn't kill the toss off early with aggression he's clueless where to go in a management game. Luxury built far, far, too much static defense and got run over by the superior economy of Pure. I knew he was dead when I saw a spore/sunk at every single base including his main. Pure smartly didn't commit to harass since it wasn't necessary, Luxury killed his own economy.

Thanks for the stream Jiiks!

Getting that storm off on the lurker eggs was very key.

This is what KTF gets for sending out Frogg before Flash. Should be sending out Flash twice here.
If KTF is going to lose that badly like that, then they have no hope for the rest of the proleague.

I keep forgetting that Flash needs one of his clownshoes teamates to win in order for him to sweep the ace match.
Such a change from Winners League.

Wow WeMade really showed them haha. So much for everyone thinking KTF was going to win  gogo 3-0 WeMade!

I think Flash might be some sort of black hole for skill.
Whenever his teammates are in his presence, like in proleagues, they lose horribly, but in individual leagues, they can sweep.
|
oh man, I shudder to think how many points I lost tonight...
|
KTF is like the worst team with the best players. Arguably the best Terran in the world, arguably the second best zerg in the world (Jaedong obviously is the first, so only second is arguable), and forGG who's been known to pump out some good games.
Yet, here they are 0-3'd worse than Estro.
I mean seriously Lux who fucking builds 8 spore colonies.

Also another thing: Luxury could've won that game, but for some reason did that stupid shit with his lurker eggs. It was almost as if Luxury knew if he won the game he'd still have to get up out of the seat and that pissed him off so much he decided to lose.
I this were WL, Luxury would've been comfortable sitting down and would've trashed that match. >:
(sorry I'm a big Lux fan but come on he lost like 10 lurker eggs to a storm for being stupid and made 8+ spore colonies TT)

KTF has the worst talent/victory ratio ever, adding Lux and fOrGG just makes it even worse.

Instead, his lurkers eggs AND all of his hydras got stormed to death =X
I wonder if morphing them there was an accident...

I'm gonna go ask again FakeSteve why is Luxury's ZvP better then Jaedong's . God and i picked KTF for my fantasy PL team ..KTFail never fails to fail .

Third best, imo - July/Calm/by.hero (and by.hero doesn't even get to play that much) make a very strong argument for first, even over the CJ Zergs. I'd definitely say they're better than WeMade's line. Not that third-best Zerg line in a twelve team league is bad by any means!
KTF's line is also strong except that Firefist's vsT is fail and Luxury, well, you know... *gestures vaguely in Pure's direction*
|
Don't forget Oz's zerg lineup of Jaedong/Piratezerg/Moustachezerg. Those three are in a league of their own.

Unless you're playing in the FPL, which means there is a difference in the points if your team loses/wins 3-1 or 3-0.
Thought I'd see KTF at least pulling out 1 game in this series but apparently, I was wrong. :[

UHHHHHHHHHH? THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!?!?

i don't see why everyone is freaking out about fantasy proleague already. there have only been 4 matches played so far. things change. especially with this many new maps, the players are going to take a while to get used to them. just wait it out, or try to trade for better players

Agreed.
Yeah, FS and his "Luxury has the best ZvP in the world" are looking quite foolish. Lux's lategame ZvP is still absolute garbage imo. If he can't win (or at least gain a huge advantage with) a ling runby or hydra bust, he's screwed.

I agree..fox has a great zergs who are underrated but, I think STX zerg(Calm, July, and Hero) line up is as good as CJs if not a bit better, but its STX so maybe that was already assumed.
And Luxurys ZvP is still mediocre, tons of zergs have better or comparable ZvP, for him to the best is plain silly talk, Im sure we can think of atleast 6 off the top of our heads very easily.

Is KTF going to be KTFlash again? Don't lose to estro please. Atleast not 3-0, though that's highly unlikely since Flash is first.

So you're saying it's better for Flash to play on a disadvantageous map(for him) in order for him to play in the first 3 games, then to put him in the best position to win?
Sure, 1-3 is better than 0-3. But Flash isn't invincible. And if he loses, KTF's pretty much dead in the water.
Given all the shenanigans that typically occur when new maps are introduced, keeping Flash on Destination is a very smart decision. Old maps favor the superior player.
|
haha i remember that flash pic
|
Luxury didn't do that badly. The lurker eggs getting killed fucked it all up for him. I like his use of heavy static defence compared to other zergs who try to cut corners and ignore it and pay for it.
|
what did you mean by tempest trapped the probe? the probe was still able to build cannons
|
I was expecting KTF 3-0 or close, but the results became the reverse 0-3 lose. WTF. KTFail.
A team with a lot of talent, but no one pulling through.
|
Uh... wow i expected at LEAST Luxury or ForGG to win...
|
I went KTF heavy with my Fantasy team (forgg, tempest, Flash, KTF) thinking it would net me a lot of points because of the match ups.
That went well.

Guess you don't play ZvP, other professional zergs cut corners for a reason, you know? I think this game clearly showed that reason.
Also, in the Tempest vs RorO game, I know Tempest couldn't have adjusted his strat before hand since he had no scouting information on RorO and couldn't predict when the hydra bust would come. But if he did, would it have been better to morph cannons at his nat to destroy his assimilators instead of morphing the 3 extra cannons at RorO's nat that never got a chance to complete?
|
Jesus christ. I watch the third game and I'm like, "how the hell is this over at 16 minutes, its 14 minutes in and there hasn't been a single attack, both players are macroing their asses off, and Pure has done absolutely no damage with any sort of harass. I think he killed one overlord with his 7 corsairs."
2 minutes later, I had my answer. What the fuck was Luxury doing for 15 minutes? It takes you 15 minutes to make 30 hydralisks" What about lurkers? Tech?.... anything? while the Protoss is almost entirely passive?
Even a B level guy on ICCUP could have held off that attack, for one thing, they might have decided to make lurkers before the 14 minute mark, and would probably not make them in a giant clump right in front of a huge ball of protoss units.
