looks like this game is going to a super ace match unless modesty fucks up.

Modesty double expands in response to the successful attack. A single lurker starts to snipe the forge that's getting +2. Stork cancels the upgrade.
It is impossible to be a citizen if you don't make an effort to understand the most basic activities of your government. It is very difficult to thrive in an increasingly competitive world if you're a nation of doods.

If STX loses the overall series, it's not because of the format or whatever, it's because they underperformed when it mattered. With such depth, losing to Miracle, great x2, and Jangbi won't be because of the format.

Modesty doing a good job of spreading lurks to minimize storm damage. Has stork fully contained at the moment.

someone needs to make a thread explaining how the hell the playoffs work so that people stop being confused


If it's just game scores, without consideration of set scores, that's just really stupid then :S

Please explain the inherent stupidity? It's like this in most sporting events when they have series play.


it's stupid because the overall set score could be 7-5 (team A wins 4-0 1st day and then loses 3-4 the next day and loses super ace match) but the lower scoring team still wins. It's as if it were created so Oz can still win or something. I remember someone posted in the original thread how basically JD can win every game except for 2 and Oz still advances (wins his set, ace match, super ace match).


Yeah but that's how EVERY sport works. In tennis if it goes 6-0 6-7 6-0 6-7 6-7 you still lose. In basketball if it goes 120-80 99-100 120-80 99-100 120-80 99-100 99-100 you still lose.

The only thing crazy about this format is that a SINGLE game determines everything, but that makes for one insanely important game, which I think is great.


This is NOT how it works in every sport. In tennis your first 4 sets are to 6 (of course 7 if tiebreak) and your 5th set is... STILL TO 6 (except majors I guess go further?), and in basketball game 7 is STILL 48 MINUTES. That is why Bo1 for the 3rd match is retarded. I guess the closest analogy I can think of is something like volleyball where first 4 games are to 25 and last is to 15, but even that I never fully agreed with. So yeah, if basketball's game 7 was a 5 minute (OT only game), that would be a proper analogy. And then a team with a Kobe or a Lebron would disproportionately win.


Yes I mean I explicitly made a point to say that the third set format was different....

Starcraft is a superstar's game. They wanted to create the possibility of the most high-stakes game possible for the excitement....

Modesty goes for a lurker contain. Stork can't really get out since he lacks the forces. Observatory just now going up.

Modesty now just pumping drones.

A high templar pops out of the walling natural gateway and gets sniped! That's not what needed to happen.

Holy crap... that was an amazing block.

I would've been insta-raped by that attack.

For all those complaining, they should realize that the "logical" choice would not be some kind of fragmented Bo15 but rather one Bo7, in which STX would've already lost.

I still don't know why I had Stork PvZ as my #1 confidence pick. I must have been drinking that day.
Zero fighting.

Stork finally has an observer that gets sniped by scourge. Stork gets two overlords though.

Still slow zealots???

Stork barely holds modesty's attack but he loses quite a few probes in the process.

Modesty looking to expand twice now.
SonuvBob: Yes, the majority of TL is college-aged, and thus clearly stupid.

Stork catches a single lurker with his slow zealots. 4 scourge for Modesty.

Stork tries again, still hasn't gotten out. Modesty comfortably ahead on 5 bases, while stork still can't get out. He finally gets out and needs to do something fast. Modesty on a ton of hatcheries at the moment.
