Game 3 TLO vs. Idra. TLO for some reason decides to take to fight into Idra's base. That was bad enough, but he decides to go all out right in between Idra's two main ramps. Idra could reinforce his Roaches easily between those two ramps. On top of that bad decision, TLO took a bunch of his SCVs off mining which meant his economy could not possibly catch up to Idra's. One bad thing about TLO is that he has no plan B. If his "creativity" doesn't work, it is GG for him. | ||

Just because they are pros doesn't mean they are perfect. IdrA could have done a lot more damage with those NP than he did and the ability is still very viable at 12 seconds. I know I was screaming at the screen to kill the NP BCs too. Same here I was like "IdrAAAAAAAAaaa what are you doing!?!?!?!?" He could have killed of so many more BCs at the first attack if he had done it differently. And second time it was almost even more of a screw up as the NPed BCs just sat there and IdrA did nothing to kill them. Good games anyway. | ||

TLO did a very standard (and well-executed) mech push that game. He actually won the game he was being most creative in (although I was screaming at him to get yamato and hit the infestors with it). | ||

Not cancelling the startports isn't that big of a deal, as 1) If he failed, it was basically a gg. 2) If the battle was close, and no was decided, he could continue buildign the starports. 3) If he won the battle, the cancelled starports wouldn't help much, as there is a big delay between when he could benefit from those extra minerals/gas, since he probably did not have enough factories do produce any more tanks. So really there was not much else TLO could do. Cross positions on this map is just extremely difficult for terran. | ||

Zerg player can use yamato once the BCs are NPed. NP also casts faster than yamato. I was thinking that whole game that NOT getting yamato (unless corrupters pop) was a good decision. Although range 10 versus range 9 might make it work =/ | ||

TLO did a half assed all in push (with more thors than tanks?) when he had already invested in 2 starports, 2 armories (with +2 not done) and a 3rd base he hadnt used yet. The only reason the push was close at all was because tlo did so much damage early on, and even then Idra won like 2 minutes after the push failed. basically it was a nice job idra for keeping his cool, and questionable decisions by tlo | ||

Getting yamato vs infestors is very bad! It basically lets an infested BC hugely damage another one of your BCs... Just let the infestation wear off or kill the infestor, much better than researching yamato and risking him actually killing stuff  EDIT: Blah thought I was safe to reply with so few posts left on this page, but someone beat to me to it | ||

He did have lots of army, which I thought would kill Idra at the point.. but looking back at the game, he could have pushed out with that army at least a minute faster. I thought he needed to add more factories or something, or just turtle if he was going to make another CC .  I was rooting for TLO | ||

Perhaps it was White-Ra's lack of play in phase 2, but still, I feel like whitera is a whole tier above qxc.. Qxc reallly suprised me this game. I've said this before, but I really believe it: I think QXC is the future of SC2. Do you see his micro? He's livening things up in ways unbelieved. Dang, I can't believe it, I'm actually becoming a true fan of someone haha. | ||

Had idra attacked the NPed BCs, TLO would have lost 3 BCs every single fight while doing almost no damage. I think we're biased towards letting the NP wear off w/o yamato because it worked out okay in this one (flawed) situation. Had TLO been able to yamato the infestors controlling his BCs (and eat a few yamatos back) I think it would have been better than if had idra actually attacked the NPed BCs. What if TLO started all the Yamatos before control of the BCs transferred to idrA (given the +1 range and delay in the mind-control thing reaching the BC)? Would the energy be wasted and the shot not fired, would the shot be fired anyway, or would it cancel and refund energy? Actually a good question, anyone test this before? | ||

Now people are arguing whether or not to research yamato cannon when battle cruiser rushing in TvZ. And it's still the BETA. Holy shit. | ||

Now people are arguing whether or not to research yamato cannon when battle cruiser rushing in TvZ. And it's still the BETA. Holy shit. WORD!! SC2 has an impressive untapped potential of deep strategy and I love that. I am eager to see how actual strategies will evolve and new ones in 1 or months after 1 or 2 more patches. | ||
