Sen is arguably the smartest and most skilled sc2 player in the world or at least during the beta. It's not just a few tactics that wins him the games its the timing and execution of them. 99% of zergs would get roflstomped if they tried to play as agressive as sen vs mech

Which stream (I mean date and time) can I see these ZvT games?

I looked through the first ones and there was mostly ZvZ or a few odd ZvT where the terran got stomped in 5min.

Didn't see the flanking and all that. I mean there is like 3 hours of stream there. So if anyone could point me to the date I would be glad =)

Sen is my idol sc2 Zerg player! In the Asia showcup day9 did say that TLO claimed that his TvZ was unstoppable and then he just got stomped by Sen.

But why is Sen in platinum leauge? Is there no diamond leauge in.. whatever server he plays in?
I astonish myself everyday

He lost a placement match and got placed in gold maybe? And he only have some 35 games played I think? Could mean system hasn't gotten him advanced yet?

Maybe thats why some of his games seem so odd. His opponents doesn't feel like top of diamond exactly..

edit: yeah that is correct. On jul 30 he was in gold league rank 37.

To be fair I dont know how much you would learn watching a pro spanking up gold players

But it will be interesting to watch when he starts facing top diamond players

You can't get into diamond if blizzard is having a bad day. It can take like 50+ games to get in sometimes.

Yeah I know. My point is just that the stream from 30 jul is against gold/plat players.

Truth.

TLO saying he's never lost is pretty much the same thing as saying he's unstoppable yea? Either way, Sen's definitely in contention for best Zerg in SC2 as of right now.

Just watched that one. That game was amazing... I feel like he could have won if he had gotten some banelings, especially when he lured the toss army away with a small group of lings and tried to backstab but ran into the double pylon wall at the top of the ramp.

Is it just me or does anyone else notice and appreciate the fact that sen stays in games after the other player leaves just to finish scouting/another round of larva vomiting/queue more overlords or units? It's like he wants to complete his thought or something xD

Sen is a contender for being the best player in the world. It's a shame he wasn't invited to KotB (not to take anything from the winner of that tourney though.) I'm blown away every time I see Sen play.

Before facing Sen TLO claimed that his TvZ was unstoppable. Sen took him down quite a few notches.


idrA in his Kotb interview said that Sen was invited but could not play.

Sen is my hero for finally showing me a use for roaches, goddamn. And it wasn't in some abhorrent roach/hydra comp either - he beat colo + gateway off hatchery tech!

Sen's play is really great. The only zerg that I've seen be that aggressive, and correct me if there's someone I'm forgetting, is Dimaga.

Yeah but sadly all the games I've seen of Dimaga he either lost or won through a baneling bust all-in. Sen's play seems more stable than that.

People said the zerg rush from BW is dead in SC2, but I have never seen a zerg rush in BW as scary as a Sen Roachling rush in this game!
