I have to agree. Bisu hasn't dealt with early game zerg heavy micro players since july used to hydra break him. The hydra pickup/drop is something you'd only see back pre-2006

yellow won with sick micro, and one fatal careless mistake by bisu.
also, i think the fact that yellows build was so fucking werid threw bisu off.
i mean, as a toss how do you react to this?
speedling into expo
followed by lair + hydra den
followed by no more information for toss?
by the time sair went out, the 3cm drop already came and that was the beginning of the end

watch the game. It's worth every minute. With sound. Yes, on the one hand, it's just another game, from just another player. on the other, listen to the cheering at the end, and tell me that's not what any sort of competition or sport is about.
Thank you ACE, for reminding me why I keep watching this game.

I loved how the last minutes of the game was just everyone screaming their lungs out :D So much excitement!
|
Yellow owned Bisu, i think Bisu has something else on his mind, becuase he isn't playing like it is in the game
|
the thing is, bisu besides the one careless reaver micro, responded REALLY FUCKING WELL to yellows aggression. i mean you remember that maphack like sair fnding the drop, he had his inital group of zealots deny the lurkers the chance to knock out his cannons at main, you had reaver/zlot group that eliminated all but 1 hydra before reinforcements came from yellow. he was just caught with his pants down teching up to reaver/sair combo.
amazing. simply goddamn amazing.

Must disagree with that. He suicided a reaver (which was HUGE at that point) and his defense against the hydras/lurkers drop was quite careless. I mean the zealots took tons of lurker hits for absolutely nothing.
Anyway that's from what I can remember, only watched the game live.

That whole game should be on the pimpest play list for 2009.

It's unfortunate ACE didn't win the whole thing 
That game was soo good, so it kind of makes up for it! Would have been a dream if ACE had have won the match from there, though.

as a protoss player, i have to contest that it's hard to keep the lurkers within range check-still with the opportunity and speed of movement to pick them off should they unburrow to get closer
(to cannons and mineral line in this case)
i don't know what else, other than taking lurker shots, and staying marginally close within range, would have let him throw down enough cannons for the next possible drop
i have no doubt he was counting on yellOw to take his eyes off his trapped hydras based on how he'd probably be working on his contingency plan, after the drops as he WAS defending well.
i'd rather give it to yellOw for moving down with his hydras when he did, so he had a chance to catch the reaver
i'd take the game for what it is, becuase any other protoss wouldn't have sent a corsair in time, wondering where some of the overlords have been in specific moments of early game
bisu's play exudes confidence, but yellOw' earlier displayed brilliance, and preperation

Didnt anyone watch Yellow rape tosses in GOM season 1? He used the exact same build + a bunch of extra cool all ins. This was pretty epic, but him beating Free one of the top PvZers in a bo3 in GOM was even more impressive imo. Everyone must watch those games. This cant be called a PP09 since the same EXACT build was used by Yellow in GOM, forgot vs who.
|
Except for the fact that he did it against the best protoss right now, who also happens to be the best pvzer of all time and on a map that favors protoss in pvz, after two of his teammates got rocked and if he lost, ace would lose 0-3.
