Fantasy needs to get the Best glasses and start pwning leagues. Thezerg's got style. I hope he gets far in leagues in the next round.

I really hope fantasy snags the finals and suprises everyone, because everyone expects either flash or best to win.

I want a Fantasy and Much Finals. That would REALLY be cool. Or July again. Can't have a three-way though..

The fact that Plasma was the group decider also meant Mr. "I Can't TvZ" was able to easily defeat one of the best ZvT players in the world. This is simply not right, and Plasma is ruining what could have been one of the best OSLs ever.


Yeah, Mr. I Can't TvZ...only totaly noobish Zerg could lose to him...like Jaedong in their last two games, right?

Problem with Mind is (imho) that he is extremely inconsistent. He has beaten Luxury before...hell, didn't he even chose him for his group after loosing to him 2:1 in WCG? That's pretty ballsy, considering he can't TvZ...and it actually paid off this time .

Wonder who GGplay will face (btw he did win once vs terran this OSL too, that guy who pointed out that thezerg was only to win this season), I bet he will choose Plasma as first or second map (if they can choose?) vs GGplay.

This is a great writeup.

I think zergs need to go devourer guardian on this map imo. I can see some easy terran counters for this, and it does take a lot of gas, but what else can zergs do on Plasma?

I love Plasma. I think it is the best map in a long time from a spectators point of view. It has produced so many exciting maps. I dont care if it is imbalanced. I want to see more games on it.

Hopefully they can find a way to balance it, but if they dont it will still produce exciting games, which is all I as a spectator care about.

LOL Sea looked so pissed playing Stork at 5:55 after his FD army got raped by a reaver. That was hilarious

Well apart TvP (those might be exciting games) but ZvT where Terran is camping middle or all egg exit camping and having 3 base vs 3 base zerg. I don't see that exciting waiting zerg to dry up while game lasts still over 10 min.

Nice post.
I actually liked Plasma though.
Zerg butcher or not, it has produced some interesting games (proxy anyone?).
Interesting games > Zergs advancing.

Sea, Protoss have an obsession with cheesing on this map so it's usually a good idea to check for it. Yet again, what would have been an exciting game turned into another disaster for Sea as Stork effectively cheesed him out of the OSL.
Stork 1-0 Sea


what?
+ Show Spoiler +

Sea did aggressively scout for cheese, and just barely missed catching the proxy

Im really disagreeing with some of your recaps
True maybe I'm just depressed about the whole thing as that game is quite foggy haha =/

I really hope Thezerg can bounce back from this loss and be a force to be reckoned with next season cause guy is playing some of the most amazing BW I've seen a zerg (JD excluded) do in a long time. He really deserved to advance to the next round.

My opinion on Plasma is that zerg can go expand frenzy in the beginning, easily taking any highground expo(they are all gas).
Small chokes ensure small defence = 1 sunken + 2 lings, can safely defend early ground attempt, and later adding few lurkers can prolong this time even more.
I'd secure those first and try to take mine later on.

The real threat comes from early terran with possible wraith/dropships/valks. So the zerg player definitely needs spire really fast.
But how to kill agile terran airforce combined of wraith+valk? I think the best way would be to include a queen to army - possibly parasite a ship(though terran could restore the infect).
The main goal hoever should be ensnaring them and flank muta+scourge kill them.
Spire upgrades should become handy.
With queens nest already up, teching hive with greatspire and/or defilers in order to further delay terran from moving(savior style).
With a lot of gas, greatspire units should tear terran down on this map.
