because by running that far into the base he cant just blink out as easily and likely loses a bunch of those stalkers. hd/husky give a lot of "I dont know why he isn't doing x here" when it's completely obvious why... And it also takes away from some 'awe' some people like to watch these games in...

You should get excited about how thelittleone is everywhere on the map and able to constantly keep up the harassment with just 6 stalkers barely losing any to constantly pick off pylons/units, making people pumped at watching a good player, not "Why isnt this player doing this, wtf?" Implying that he's making horrible mistakes, when infact you are, as a caster...

TLO would totally own everyone if he'd just pick a race and master it.

Idra's been having some trouble lately vs. Terran, but since there's no Terran in his way, he should be the favorite, yeah.

yay white ra advanced

Was worried there for a while but white ra sure proved his mastery of the PvP matchup.

dont agree. TLO had game 3 pretty much. but instead of just macroing up and getting robos out he tried to be cute with the harrass and lost masses of stalkers just for killing some pylons and later the shrine when a dt was already raping his probes.

games 4&5 were pretty much huge fuckups all around by tlo. could def see that he was hugely thrown off and not happy with the situation.

Love watching Whitera play he's my fav toss player by far.

Also want to say great job by HD and Husky the stream was flawless this time around w/e you guys did keep it up.

I know the tourney isn't even over yet but I'm already looking forward to HDH #2.

Wow EPIC comeback by WhiteRa, terrible luck that TLO got toss 3 times in a row but WhiteRa's play is so damn solid. I loved his improvisational archons to absorb stalker fire and melt zealots in game three. I can't think of a situation where you're more behind, down 2 games, behind in game three and then using archons to just claw your way back and then take the series 3-2. By far the best set of games in this series in my humble opinion. Kinda sad to see so much protoss vs protoss in this series. Good luck to WhiteRa going forward, I'll definitely be rooting for you in the finals.

Guys imagine this, Nony beating Idra. Protoss vs Protoss finals... BORING.

Judging from this series, I don't think WhiteRa's PvZ could take Idra. Seeing the Zerg easily 3-0 WhiteRa would be even more boring than PvP imo

Amazing series!! WhiteRa is a beast, and TLO is such a great player. Thank you Husky and HD for making this possible :D

Grats on the 15k viewers too, that's very impressive!

Hoping for IdrA vs WhiteRa finale, and TLO 3rd because he really deserves it.

I just hope Nony v. Idra won't be one-sided and will instead go to a Game 5. Wow, and you thought TSL was over...

I really think TLO should've just played standard in the last game, with such close spawn positions on LT. The stalker blink harass sort of worked out in G3 because of the cross-map spawns, but you just can't do it when the opponent is a few steps away from your front door. Then again White-Ra is such a solid P player that TLO probably knew it'd be impossible to win straight up.

I still don't know why TLO's worst race is zerg, the games i've watched him playing this race are just
freakin' awesome(his Terran is pretty bad ass also). He should pick a race in his further... let's just say career.

this.

Nony will give IdrA a hard time though.
I'm excited to see those matches

playing against a random who rolls zerg is a fair bit different to playing someone you know is zerg off the start fwiw. WhiteRa might be much more comfortable with 10gate expand or just straight out ForgeFE build, and really uncomfortable with the 1-base play that is practically forced upon you on scrap and kulas...

yeah sweden can celebrate again because the german lost.having a deja-vu

Just fucking let it go already... There is always at least one fucking idiot that relates absolutely EVERYTHING to the second world war... I'm so sick of this shit, none of us where even alive at the time... How about shutting the fuck up for once, if you don't have an intelligent analogy to make? How's that for a tip? PUHLEEEEZE!

On Topic:

Loved the games, but I feel that TLO should have picked race at the very least in the final game, if not the final 2 (if idra can, surely TLO can)... Or at least got some immortals, like somebody mentioned... Still he's playing random and he has surpassed EVERYONES expectations already, so well done to him! Love his play!
