Honestly Violet made only 2 mistakes those 2 series, not attacking with the zeals from the start, and in game 2 not building that 2nd canon and sending out a 2nd probe scout. Effort did a good job abusing it, but it doesnt say anything about the merit of violet's pvz.
Well you deserve to lose if you don't play safer against a top level zerg seriously i went to the bathroom and when i came back the game was over .

Watch jaedong vs much. That is an example of beating the crap out of him. violet vs effort/jd wasnt.

I dislike greedy play. 1 cannon without scouting information is just bad in my opinion. I really got confused over the Violet hype the last weeks on these forums, people comparing him to Bisu and stuff. Way to go.
Should I start linking games where Bisu gets owned by early speedlings?
Mistakes happen, acting like those games suddenly prove all of Violet's other wins mean nothing is ridiculous.

I would not commend your arguement but I would love to point out that JD is 3-0 skyhigh in every game that lasted over 8 minutes, all the games are rapes btw.

But Effort didn't cheese, the ling run-by isn't supposed to be an all-in, it won the game by itself because of poor foresight of an opponent I'm pretty sure effort would still be fine even if his lings were stopped by cannons and he loses most of them, and of course he would have easily retreated them. Terrans forces zergs to make sunkens, zerg force protoss to make cannons, same logic

You call a "ling bust because of failure to scout well and making a mistake with the zealots for the simcity" being outplayed?

Yeah, Effort was on three hatches pumping drones and zerglings, I dont see the cheese.

Not the same at all. A zerg has to skip a ton of drone production early on to get that many speedlings, his economy would've been set back massively if it had failed. If the point was only to force him to build more cannons he wouldn't try to hide his ling count.

I don't know what you guys are trying to argue here. Violet lost 3 vZ games in arow. Against JD because of bad play, against EffOrt because of a bad executed cheese and the second game because of really greedy play.
Of course the conclusion is not, that he sucks like Rock and does not have stand a chance against the best. But it shows that he is just by far not as good as you make him out to be. Losing 3 games like this is just bad and he stil has along way to go.

Orly? This is what happens when you opt for this build and fail: http://www.gomtv.net/videos/574
The build is 3hat lair into 3hatling while adding 4th hatch and spire and I think it was first used by Savior vs Bisu on Neo Harmony, Lux used it on Neo Harmony in MSL finals too, but it pretty much has to do damage otherwise you are way behind.

Worst games possible for Violet. Goes into a super Z favored map and proxies because of it, messes up, loses. Cuts one too many a corner on HBR and gets killed via runby. Nowadays he's second only to Bisu when he gets going in the midgame, but neither game came close to getting that far.
I think he's got it in him to take down top level zergs, but these games were just not beneficial to how he plays.

I also facepalm when Bisu does it. I also facepalm when JD thinks it is a good idea to put his 5th hatchery at a fourth base (like on Medusa against Tempest last season).
You really have no point here. Violet lost 3 really bad PvZs in a row and there is noone to blame. He is good, who doubts that, but he is not nearly on the same level as the top players just yet.

If his midgame is so good, it makes us wonder why he doesn't decide to get to midgame?

It's like you completely ignored my first three sentences.
I know you're a CJ fan and you're happy that Effort won, but condescension is a pretty mean path to take in the face of a Violet fan. =(
