Void Rays are OP since they're expensive and don't cloak and only do decent damage when charged.
My strategy is to fork people.

Although it was a VERY LAME GAME. Tester is so good he won with a tactic that TLO crushed 5-0 in his games against whitera.

Why don't you join up with Idra, i think you guys will get along very well.

If anything TLO made cheesy builds and tester the appropriate counters. Cheese has distinct and simple counters, thats part of what makes it cheese. TLO's cheese is no exception and his unorthodox (bad) play brings out the worst in his opponents.

It is not cheese, it is a response to The Little One's build. The Little One got greedy and went with a non standard build that didn't incorporate many marines. He took a gamble and he lost the gamble. If you don't like void rays, maybe you should tell the little one to stop gambling with the marine count.

I play Terran in SC2 and have died to voidrays so much in exactly the same positions on that map that I totally understand the hollow feeling afterwards... but gg to Tester anyways. I feel like TLO really earned us foreigners some respect with his performance in game 2.

I'm a Protoss player and I agree. The Void Ray is a stupid unit and should be removed from the game.

can't tell if you are serious or not but if void rays are removed, marauders should be removed as well

TLO obviously had the advantage in big macro games, so tester took advantage of his early game weakness. Well played by both, even if void rays are boring. Still, tester won't be able to take advantage of ITR in the same way.... I look forward to that match.

Void rays are fine - a few marines and an earlier bunker and TLO would have been fine - he risked going the same build twice in a row and Tester exploited it.

Idra vs TLO for 2nd place is going to be epic tomorrow. Also great play by QXC to 2-0 Dimaga.

The best part of the Void ray is how it essentially becomes incredibly powerful not through micro but largely through inaction

I actually never thought about it like that. Good point.

In regards to game three...boo.

I said it before these games too. A lot of the games with tester and ITR look really one sided. I think that's only because they are utilizing timings and builds that for the most part, nobody is really expecting/very well trained for. I really don't think their micro and multitasking are sooooo superior to players like white-ra, idra, and TLO. Once players get strong at holding off weird all-ins and early timing pushes, I feel like the games will go a bit longer and we'll see less korean dominance (relatively less).

The difference between a few seconds, really. Tester had the void ray in TLO's base before his viking came out and was able to charge. That makes all the difference in the world. Just a few seconds.

I know, I know, just kinda disappointed.

what? that tester doesnt play the game HOW YOU WANT IT TO BE PLAYED?

Why don't you join up with Idra, i think you guys will get along very well.



We're all here for entertainment. Why would we want to see a fast game with an obvious conclusion?

Void Rays are not OP. Bad timing by TLO/Great timing by Tester and he was unprepared (no bunker what?) and he mis-micro'd the Vikings (which can take out any number of Void Rays without getting hit).

IdrA vs TLO , IdrA vs TLO, IdrA vs TLO - hype hype hype! Can't wait

Day9 did A DAMN AWESOME job casting today, as some of these situations could have been almost impossible to cast by the average commentators without special preparation and multiple recordings.

And for another day in a row, we got some results that were pretty unexpected by most viewers, based on the polls.

this, too. my guess is that he hasn't played any capable terran players and felt the frustrations of dying to early marauders
