I was really surprised he didn't do either of these myself. Granted, he didn't have a lot of gas to throw around but he knew demuslim didn't have any thors left, could have killed the bulk of those remaining tanks probably.

demuslim needs to do hellion or reaper cheese vs that muta build
Ive used that exact build for so long and it DOMINATES all builds except for hellion or 3rax reaper cheese
dimaga's build relies solely on speedlings and is completely defenseless vs early game cheese until mutas pop


quoting nostradamus here
terran can have 8 blueflame hellions before mutas even pop
demuslim couldve committed those (nonupgraded) hellions and still killed every single drone in 1-2 volleys
zerg shouldnt be able to get away w/ that build T_T i should know ive lost enough games to reaper and hellion cheese

Iam rooting for DIMAGA here.
But its great to see DeMuslim do a long macrogame after all the "hurr he can only do cheese durr"-bashing.


Demuslim had pretty horrible macro to be frank. He was up 4 bases to 2 and there was still a point Dimaga had advantage until he suicided 70 supply of roaches into those tanks.

Auto repair needs to be removed from the game.

Biggest disapointment of IEM: Demuslim.

I actually had good hopes and was looking forward to games of him, but so far of what he showed in my opinion he is definatly one of the weaker players there and his play is just so 'bad' in comparison to for example morrow/tlo

I hope Dimaga just rolls over him next game and eliminates him.


gtfo.

That last game was straight up excellent play. No cheese, no bullshit.

When TLO does it, It's amazing. When DeMusliM does it, he is the Devil incarnate. I'm the biggest TLO fan too.
Lee Jae Dong proved that a focus on mechanics and execution could solve problems in the StarCraft game strategy.

dimaga was behind in the early game losing so many drones to banshee/helion... its a miracle that this game even lasted that long

It seemed to me that DeMuslim has a lot of potential, but he doesn't have the killer instinct game sense yet.

Demuslim didn't do anything remotely impressive in that game though. The nydus worm particularly, He spawned a nydus at the back expo with like 2 roaches and they killed off the gold's scv's and stopped another expo from mining. I was just like...wat.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

wow this tournament just leaves me stunned. Is anyone else feeling that gameplay has improved DRASTICALLY from earlier tournaments? Or is it the combination of tip top players motivated by a big price and casted by good casters? I just feel like almost every game has me sitting on the edge of my seat amazed by the play from both players.


This.


The game is evolving so fast.
Cant wait to see the games MLG will bring.

To be fair, I tend to agree with him. He even put bad in quotations because he's well aware of what a good player Demuslim is, but compared to some of the other games we've seen he just isn't putting up those kind of performances so far. Dimaga had a solid chance to win the game until he sac'd that 2nd batch of roaches to kill like 3 tanks and a couple of hellions.

I think he would've had enough gas as he built lots of lots of roaches and even corruptors (like 10) shortly later. Switching between air and ground is one of zerg's biggest weapon and should be used more often. The left-over minerals could have been used for ling harass (given enough larva that is...)

just like sc1, 3/3 mech is fucking unstoppable. Balance is fine



The problem lies withing the combination of early-game disadvantage due to the wide variety of choices when it comes to terran openings (and the lack of scoutability aswell) and upgraded pure-mech play.
The Terran most of the time has an easy time to get to a point where is army is literally unbeatable head-on. Nydusplay relies on mistakes of the opponent (on which you can't really rely on).
Drop play can be very effective though and needs to be utilised more often in my opinion.

It is still a little unfair for the zerg to play against such a style in MY humble opinion.
The fact that 3/3 pure mech is unstoppable is fair for itself but the combination of other problems in ZvT (esp. early-game) are causing the imbalance imo.
