It feels like MadFroG was working with a serious deficit of experience with SC2 specifically. Trying to rely on hidden expos and mutas especially. Even in the game he won, I saw late/no drone transfers out of the over saturated main, weak nydus placement, a lot of mistakes that he clearly has the ability to correct in the near future. It could have been much worse for TLO in that game, especially if nydus had been used to speed roach reinforcements after TLO lost all those tanks to burrow move.

MaDFroG is a cool guy, like him pretty much, but unfortunately he's not a top player yet.

Yeah well, while you're busy cripping TLO enough to win the game, you might slack off a bit on the macro.


He had the game the moment he pushed out with his mass roaches.. after that it was just clean up.

If he would have skipped the tricky sneak play, at 100 food and just maxed his army with roaches he could have just rolled over him. You don´t need to cripple a wounded opponent.
The only thing he did with this was give TLO the chance to maybe come back into the game.

One the other hand it was nice to watch.. and he won that game either way.

Very worthwhile games. Too bad it was only a showmatch. I would have gladly lost some more sleep if it were a tournament.

Im really impressed by Madfrog winning one game. I was stunned he could pull it out that well vs a player of that calibre. I just have to point out one that and that's what Madfrog said in the interview. He mentioned how SC2 has a lot of more dimensions than Wc3 and I really must disagree there. I wonder what he thought about stating that.

Otherwise, wonderful showmatches. Glad to see Froggy back in action!

EDIT: People judging Madfrog's lack of macro. Well dammit he's a former Wc3 player, where micro played a much bigger role than macro, what'd you expect really? As I said I just must say im impressed he managed to win one game.

Why are the Thors so huge? Was this pre-recorded before that beta patch or something?


they play live and the thor is bigger cause TLO has the collectors edition with the special thor model. CE thors look like the Odin from the single player campain missions


Was wondering about that, but good lord are those Thors huge. I'm glad I didn't get the CE if they're that big.


Same size different skin.

Hoping for some higher quality VODs because Blizzards horrible planning put this on the same time as the fucking Grand Finals, seriously wtf.

at first I figured he threw down the expansion just to buy time for his muta tech and keeping all his drones alive in the base, if the expansion hadn't been there TLO would've tried to harrass his main and scout his lair and double gas, but I guess TLO was prepared for fast mutas anyway. I dunno if it would be a smart thing to throw away 300 minerals and a drone in order to try to get him off guard with fast mutas. I actually think it would be good against a worse player.

After hearing the interview it seems like that wasn't what he was doing though.

TLO was also a BW player of B'ish level.

I think madfrog has the potential it takes to play in the higher levels of starcraft 2 pro gameing scene but i also think hes not at the same level as TLO yet. Besides they both agreeded that zergs playstyle still has flaws against terrans.

Very fun to watch them play

you guys, madfrog was a top zerg player in europe before he switched over to war3. he played in the same era as insomnia before he also moved to wc3 (mr.x anyone?)

and also he played the most beautiful wc3 style of any wc3 progamer. very focused on speed and harassing, with artful micro techniques.

if you dont know about the guy you really shouldnt bash him.
