I'd like to say that if you are making mistakes and your opponent exploits them, then you are getting outplayed. That is all.

No, not at all. All I am asking is why should a midgame level player decide to cheese? Or play greedy and risky?

Wtf are you saying? 2 cheese games means Violet sucks PvZ? Let the games last over 10 min then talk.


Well, if Violet did not play horrible, then the game could have lasted longer than 10 minutes.

what makes you say violet played horrible in the 2nd game?


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.

Hmm Bisu has been quite good at nullifying speedlings in his base lately with some superb probe micro.... I think there was one game where like 6-8 speedlings got in but they didn't really do any damage due to Bisu's excellent defense

yeah if he is confident he can take effort on and hold his own in a standard macro fashion why would he take these risks?

First of all, he cheesed on game 1 for change of pace, as he plays straight up most of the games he plays + Gods Garden is REALLY bad for P, if you take out Much's inflated wins vs shit tier Zergs the map ends up to be 23-7 which is not good. And game 2 is not THAT greedy, lots of protoss build 1 canon at nat, including Bisu himself,stork, and jangbi, and Violet made no mistakes with that as his probe saw a lair and only saw 6 lings< Effort started pumping lings after he killed the probe, so it was a sneaky all in. Violet was simply reacting to what he saw and what he saw was just standard play by effort untill that point.

I just said he proxied because it Garden of God -- the map is a deathtrap for P considering how dominant Zerg mid/mid-late game is.

HBR is supposed to be kind of hard to runby given the choke and decent sim city, and honestly he probably would've been fine losing his gas with that build. He wasn't even that greedy -- he just didn't know how many lings Effort had and got trounced by moving out of place.


Oh well, it's kind of bittersweet anyhow. I'm also a Jaedong fan and it's vindicating that he's got a Bo3 against Jaedong next time.

Flash is still gonna win the whole thing though. :3 Calling it now, GOM's gonna have a cycle. Flash wins invitational, Jaedong wins season 1, Bisu wins season 2, Flash wins season 3.

Guess who's gonna win season four, Jaedong fans? 8)

Skipping a 2nd scout? He wasn't at the time to get a second scout. You scout again when you can push your lots out past the initial zergling contain so your probe doesn't die like a bitch -- or you scout with a sair.

Who scouts at that point with 8 speed lings light containing?

The extra cannon wasn't necessary with the info he had. Telling him to make another cannon when all he's seen are initial lings is telling him to make cost efficiency mistakes. That's the same sim city you've seen everytime a protoss wins standard on HBR. Saying Violet was bad for that is saying Bisu was bad when he beat Jaedong on the map -- he isn't.

Ling rushes happen sometime.

You know his sair was almost done when the push came out yeah? Noone sends out a 2nd scout when your stargate is done -__-.

Samachking...you're clueless ok?

It's completely standard to send out a second probe after your first one dies. It's even better to have a second one hidden after your first one dies so you can see even more(read: Sent out BEFORE the first one dies in anticipation of the first one dying). Violet played greedy and had placement mistakes that effort perfectly exploited. The exploitation of mistakes is out playing someone pure and simple.

Violet thought he was safe because he had his zealots in position and he WAS. Until effort saw the cannon placement and FORCED him to move his zealots out of position with a small number of lings. When the zealots were out of position effort showed the rest of lings and won...

Effort completely outplayed him in both games. There's no denying this. Violet should've been good enough to reason that there was a huge window that could've been used to make speedlings(and there was). He should've been good enough to realize his cannon placement wouldn't cover his gas...he wasn't, so effort made him pay like a really good zerg should.

Being healthy, it has been said, really consists of having the same disease as everybody else.

No it didn't.


Well it did . Both Jaedong and Effort bit the crap out of him .

No it didnt. did you watch the games? Jaedong and Effort didnt beat him because they outplayed him. They beat him because of violets mistake.

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

Define the word "outplayed"?
Go ahead...
