fixes i noticed:
This method can be applied to any ‘set piece’ of action. For instance this method can be used to train against Carriers, train against lurker contains, train against drops, train large army control, train defiler control.... you get the idea. Another side benefit to this, is that if you're practicing your mechanics from the midgame – then you’re probably going to have a lot more late game experience; which is one area even the top Koreans are weak in as can be seen in the game below.
If Jaedong loses, however, the team is disappointed and there is a reaction. Usually team morale gets shot right then and there, and the team loses. It’s like long term drug abuse – Jaedong winning just gets you back to normal, while Jaedong losing sends you crashing down into a bad spiral.

Is it just me or does the korean kid in the pic have a flying barracks and command center. If so, that is definitely not the way to train....

Excellent write up as usual, but as someone else mentioned before Bisu have already done the dual obser move before, and I would not be surprised if someone else have done it before him. So its not like Pure was inventing the wheel that game...
|
Ahahaha... well, this volume is the first I've truly enjoyed. From the hilarious Jaedong/Oz observations that also leave a little bit of a sting, to calling Skyhigh the neo-Goodfriend, this one kept me interested and entertained. Great stuff.
Also, that kid is definitely using the arrow keys Boxer-style.

Just noticed that there are "–" punctuation marks in like every phrase – just nickpicking maybe but after noticing this I just couldn't unsee it for the rest of the article – not sure it's a great writing habit to have.
And yeah my favorite BB so far.
|
I usually just read these for the recommended games, but there was interesting stuff in here... especially the practice thing.

This writing is the kick in the pants team liquid really needs, reminds me of the old vod writeups, except better!
|
Sick write up! Seriously with those VODs included it took up like 2-3 hours of my life lol. Time defiantly well spent!
P.s. For that secret you shall be immortalized.... maybe.

Awesome writeup, I so agree with the whole team moral.

i just took 3 hours getting through this. geez.

Nice write up.
The "save game" part was especially interesting. Reminds me of when the Miami Dolphins used the Wildcat formation to much success in the NFL. Teams could not stop it consistently at first but spent time watching film the putting it into practice. Opposing teams would have "situational plays" much like the "save game" and practice against the Wildcat. Now everyone seems (a little) better defending the Wildcat formation.

Insane write up, writeup, write-up
Took a while to read completely, was worth it =]

Plexa, even though you prefer Pusan to Anytime, you're amazing !

For sure one of the best articles/week summaries I've seen on the site, great job!
I do not know of any other Protoss, including Stork, that would have pulled off that move there. (for the lazy reader; Pure used two Observers to see what was going on when he couldn’t penetrate Leta’s base with one – he sacrificed the first one to turret fire while the second one was able to see Leta’s plan).
Just to make one quick point,  Bisu actually pulled this off against  go.go in the link below:
http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/games/13392_Bisu_vs_go.go/vod
(look around the 10:05 mark)
Go.go also deep-six rushed Bisu, however, Bisu did the cute observer trick about a minute too late.

I think with the recent 'resurgence' of deep six builds, some similar turret networks spliced into standard play could prove effective. At the very least, you'll really mess with the Protoss' mind, and won't need to fear any reaver drops.
