Haha glad to see one of the two threads got reopened!
|
|
|
July fighting!!
Would much rather see July at Blizzcon than effort
|
I need mod powers nowz so I can delete my other thread  GL July!
|
well this one is higer so lets use this one
I hope for some exciting games, tho Effort is the clrea favourite
|
lol this is getting crazy XD
|
Would be so awesome if Artosis could join in casting on the TvT machup in the Finals.
|
Okay, this thread it is. Go July! Show this kid how a real man plays ZvZ.
|
Just transferred threads.
July should 3-0 this. Effort's shown his major zvz strength to be mindgames, and you don't play those with july.

KT FINGER BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

KT Fingerboom? When did this happen, and is it a reference to Southpark's Fingerbang episode?
|

Wow Effort looks so nervous!
|
|
|
Also warning for people, incredibly spoilery cast.
|
First game is on:
Desti
July @ 6 white
Effort @ 12 purple
almost identical bo's so far both players 1 hatch lair july has a couple more zerglings on the map
|
Effort needs this. Or all his efforts are gonna be wasted.
|
July should go to Blizzcon! Gogo July!!!
|
July breaks Effort's ramp with his zerglings, killed two drones so far
and he killed the spire.
Effort ggs

Sigh EffOrt... What happened to you?
|
July just destroyed effort with hidden lings.
|
Bearded Elder29903 Posts
July raping EffOrt heavily. Owned a lot of his drones and made him to cancel his spire.
EffOrt GG's
JulyZerg 1:0 EffOrt
FUCK YEAH !
|
Fastest bo5 in history inc
|
|
|
Wow, effort totally looks like he doesn't even want to be there right now.
|
8-game slump for Effort. He's crashing hardcore.
|
July wins the first game with some aggressive zerglings! GG!

God EffOrt just looked completely clueless right there. Where is the EffOrt that freaking pwned?
|
Oh geez, I thought Effort was going to deflect that easily and win.
|
Poor EffOrt... I understand him if he isnt motivated to play.
CJ lost today.
EffOrt lost against Jaedong.
And now, he plays a match for the 3rd place of the GOMTV ? against who ? against ANOTHER ZERG.
....
|
|
|
Yay July! Now he's gotta take this D:<
|
lol they zoom in on july as he adjusts his chair.
|
Effort doesn't look too focused.
Understandable.
|
I liked that, he hid those 4 zerglings from the overlord and ended up only having 3 or 4 zerglings alive when he got up the ramp, very nice move.
|
|
|
|
|
here it comes.. 1-0 for july..
zvz is so unpredictable, how the fck jd has 80%+ winning rate:O
|
July is a mammoth force to be reckoned with... what an appropriate analogy.
|
Effort scouting in the wrong direction, July in the right :/
|
United States4126 Posts
July ended up having the perfect amount of Zerglings to break up Effort's ramp and wreak havoc on Effort's main. Pretty nice game.

You are right. ZvZ is very unpredictable. That is why Jaedong plays JvZ.

July getting an expansion, Effort sending out his first lings

july already sending ov in good direction while effor is not

rofl tasteless made a subliminal July fat joke by calling him a mammoth. XD

Effort attacking the nat, dancing back and forth; july doesn't bring any drones and loses a ling battle, natural hatch goes down
|
You really have to question if Effort would have won that match if:
Proleague Spoiler:
+ Show Spoiler +he didn't lose to Jaedong
|
counter attack by July with many lings
Effort throws down a sunken which comes up just in time
July going for offensive sunken colonies
|
July tries to offensive sunken
it would have worked if Effort didn't put down the 2nd sunken
July GGs
1-1
|
Nice defense by Effort, gg.
|
Finally breaks his 8-game losing streak!
|
Mystlord

EffOrt breaks his losing streak! Lol wut.

July GGs 
Come on July, 2 more wins!
|
Effort got a second sunken up and killed all the lings.
July ggs
|
That was nice :-) Comon July!
|
It was a good game, this win should give Effort some confidence.
|
Hahaha I can't decide who I'd rather see at Blizzcon - Effort or July. July is a legend but there will be no ZvP at Blizzcon ... on the other hand, just watching July pull those two Drones for an attempted offensive Sunken (and watching Effort handle it masterfully) was a testament to July's balls to the wall style.
Only reason to root for Effort is to see the expected Effort Flash finals at Blizzcon though - I love Effort but he'll be a superstar soon whereas this might be July's last dance =(

I wish July's sunken colony finished Would've been fun to see.

There goes Effort's 12 hatch again. Let's see if he can actually pull a win this time.

July decides to expand after 12 pool, so Effort is actually at a BO advantage. He should be safe for now.
|
|
|
if july 9 pool speeds the next two games, i'm sure he'll win. I don't think july is that far behind though because he got a fairly early expansion and powered drones.

Spire timings are comparable. July's is faster by a little bit. But EFFORT MOVES OUT WITH HIS LINGS!
JULY!!! WTF EFFORT DOESN'T SNIPE THE DRONES... BUT HE STILL GETS A TON OF LINGS INTO JULY'S BASE! PREPARE TO SEE AT LEAST 4 DRONES GO DOWN!
|
|
|
a shit ton of lings battle it out
Effort gets a handful of lings in, mutas pop
July not microing his drones sealing his fate, natural hatchery dies
Poor july

yesss, Effort has this!

July's economy is pretty much shot, and he loses his natural hatchery to boot. Effort micros his mutas FTW. All of July's mutas are down and he gets 0 drones with his lings

Effort won this games only by BO advantage, seriousy >.<
maybe he could build a sunken but still.. :<

EffOrt 2:1 JulyZerg :\
Damn it, July concentrate !

Even in victory, Effort just looks ... apathetic. Not even the CJ face, just a "whatever" face.
Come on Effort, you can find consolation in winning this, haha.

Hoping to see the "Heartbreak build" here!

not 30 min game this time >.<

fuck those were pretty fast games... July come on man bring it back.

OMG EFFORT IS GONNA SCOUT IT
NOOO he went a little to far -.-

Woooow july. Brilliant preparation by july.

Just by counting Drones Effort has got to know it's out there somewhere.

how did he not see the hatch

Brilliant strategy
the hidden hatchery lets him build more lings than Effort expects, July didn't even micro that battle he just had more lings

Effort is going to cry once he watches the replay.
July's lings are just streaming in.

Effort was so damn close to seeing the creep. Just wow.

lol did Effort really defend this?
Now he even has more mutas

July's inferior micro compared to Effort's may have screwed him over

July....
He has to win with these mutas... He doesn't win with those mutas. EeffOrt looks to be in a fairly comfortaable position... A single ling snipes a drone. How sad. July also takes out an overlord with scourge while EffOrt snipes it the old fashioned way. July looking to take down another OL, but EffOrt moves in and stops him form doing it. July has lost all of his mutas and and lost quite a few drones to speedlings.
|
1 muta for july vs 5 of effort, both players are in the opponents main with lings

I'm pretty sure Effort's lings saw the creep. Effort probably just didn't notice since he was looking for blips.

July barely fails a spire snipe
22 HP

oh crap one ling sneaks in and effort's spire goes down
that could change everything

He still has more mutas though

You guys realize that it doesn't really matter that much if he sees the hidden hatch or nto right? Effort knows that July have a hidden expo just by lookign at his drone count and timing. July could either a) mass lings with the or b) make drones with the hidden expo. Effort's only benefit in finding the expo would be to kno whether July went for a or b.

Effort simply replaces muta production with zerglings
July has no ground defense at all.

sick defense by Effort!
Enjoy your trip to Blizzcon :D

This was a good series though, but maybe expected too much of July Zerg

If only July had killed that hatchery with his lings early on instead he moved them out of the way T_T

Statements like this make my blood boil.
I won't make any statements about their relative skill levels (just that they're both playing well), but I'll just say I'll be an EffOrt fanboy and a Calm hater till I die.

Um, Calm is hot right now, but he isn't "better" than Effort. Effort didn't play smart against Calm. Calm is... calling him an Aggressive Zerg is wrong, IMO, since Calm takes u all the way back to the era of Poor Zerg players like JinName. Basically, I view Calm as a Poor Zerg with modern strategy and mechanics. The key difference is that an Aggressive Zerg still needs to beat a Terran or Protoss opponent in econ in order to win, but a Poor Zerg says "fuck econ" and will play with such a hyper aggressive style that they are often behind a Terran or Protoss opponent in econ (and yet still can win).
Effort should have realized that Calm would use 9 pool builds. Because 9 pool is a staple of Poor Zerg players.
But that's also why JD is going to obliterate Calm; JD almost never loses to 9 pool. I don't mean "almost never" as in "JD almost never loses to Zerg," but as in "JD is exceptionally good at countering 9 pool Zerg even compared to other ZvZ builds." I simply cannot forsee any result other than a 3:0 victory for JD.

3:1, it's the Jaedong way.
GJ EffOrt, although I wasn't really shocked. His play has been top class right now. Sure, he's falling off of his "nobody beats him" edge, but he's still destroying 90% of the field. Calm exploited a BO flaw in EffOrt's plan (12 hatch is EffOrt's hubris) - props to him, but it's not anything that anyone couldn't really do. Iris, as much as he is my favorite player, really lucked on two factors: 1) He plays exceptionally versus his teammates in individual leagues and 2) EffOrt had so much on his plate at that point in time.

lol, not so much interest in this match.

Effort is just a new A zerg. He can win or lose to any other A zerg (aka Calm). July is not A zerg anymore and ZvsZ is his weak match up. End of dicussion.

EVERYONE has a week where they just lose for the love of god.

Calm is better than JulyZerg, so Effort losing to Calm but beating JulyZerg is not a bizarre outcome.
The only players I would say with complete confidence are S-Class these days, would be Bisu and Jaedong. Maybe Fantasy as well, to round out the races.
Calm/Effort/Flash are obvious candidates for S-Class (Flash certainly used to be), but not fully convincing at present.

Lo, I read that post as Calm is better than Julyzerg. Actually, that is what the post gramatically says. But looks no one else did.

So type-b is an S-Class zerg, and  EffOrt isn't? I mean, it's not like EffOrt just beat one of the best Protoss of all time in a crucial ace-match. Or beat Flash and Jaedong in proleague action. And the streak? Only 27-3, the second best 30 game set of all time. Yeah, EffOrt's a chump.
Clearly.

Um, Calm is hot right now, but he isn't "better" than Effort. Effort didn't play smart against Calm. Calm is... calling him an Aggressive Zerg is wrong, IMO, since Calm takes u all the way back to the era of Poor Zerg players like JinName. Basically, I view Calm as a Poor Zerg with modern strategy and mechanics. The key difference is that an Aggressive Zerg still needs to beat a Terran or Protoss opponent in econ in order to win, but a Poor Zerg says "fuck econ" and will play with such a hyper aggressive style that they are often behind a Terran or Protoss opponent in econ (and yet still can win).
I agree. Calm is more akin to yellow than he is Julyzerg, for example. Hes really very aggressive but he does it in a strategical and intelligent manner. July is terrible at zvz. I'm surprised that he won one game against the person who beat jaedong in a box. Would you beat him in a box? Would you beat him with a fox?
I always love Kim Jung Woo
I love his metagame, yes I do!

Nothing surprising here. It would be a huge upset if July had won this one.
Now I am waiting for epic final; Please Flash, don't disappoint me.
