http://tv.esl.eu/de/program/view/39778 Update: There will be no VoD of the match, since Kespa didn't officially allow NaDa to play a showmatch.

The best thing about Morrow vs Dimaga was watching the muta/ling/baneling vs marine/tank micro.
On Steppes of war you see Morrow pull this off fantastically, stimming his marines and running around in circles while the tanks killed the banelings, and Morrow just cleaned house afterward. Then on Delta Quadrant the same thing happens, where Morrow runs his marines away from the banelings, only when he does this, Dimaga just moves in with all his lings and mutas and picks off the tanks while the marines are no longer covering them and ends up winning.
It's fantastic that it can go both ways, and that it's the micro that really determines the outcome of those 2 unit compositions clashing.

Then Ultra/Broodlord if the game doesn't end early. A few infestors thrown in to fungal bio and viking groups. I see nothing wrong with this.

I still think HSM was designed to be a counter to flocks of air units. If pro terrans can't find I was to deliver those HSMs to the front, then I imagine that Blizzard will buff HSM.

Or in other words: I'm scared of Zerg having a viable strategy. Where else will I get my free wins?

Anyone know what's the music that plays right now? Please?
edit: it just ended.

Cant belive ppl complain that 34 (3400-3400) Mutas killed 5 Thors (1500-1000)... the mutas cost about 3. times as much

The zerg players themselves, clearly, who seem to have given up even attempting things because their races gameplay isn't as 1-aclick ish as the rest (until they reach endgame, where zerg army becomes the most 1-a of them all)

I've seen about 4 posts saying "LOL terran whining tehre were so many mutas thors shouldnt win" and 0 posts saying Mutas need a nerf. What the hell people? Because they don't need a nerf? Try putting equal gas cost mutas vs thors, e.g. 4 thors vs 8 mutas and the thors will come out ahead with at least 2 still standing even when the mutas are spread. Now add on a few SCVs for repair and marines to support and it won't even be close. Last I heard thor/hellion/marine is an excellent combination vs mutaling that's commonly used by Korean terrans.

You misinterpret me. I was just pointing out how silly it was that there were so many posters laughing at terrans who said thors were underpowered/were whining, when there was only discussion on different tactics terrans could use. I mean, there wasn't any whine in the first place.

No one's complaining. However people are complaining that people are complaining about complaining when no one is, in fact, complaining.

It was clear Tarson hadn't encountered this before, after that game he lost his pedals and it was clear he was toast.
And how people simplify things, it's amazing. Marine/thor/hellion can get countered by mass roaches, zerg can do a simple switch. There is a REASON they make all those marauders you know, to preempt that. And making lots of marines always has the downside of being susceptible to banelings as we have seen a lot in this tournament already. This really complicates matters, all zerg needs to completely shut down terran mech is mass one unit? Quite curious to see what Morrow has in store tomorrow.

Point defense drone is much better than HSM in this case.

I am Zerg myself,and this strat is not only viable one. We have Roach/Hydra into Ultra,still. We had normal Muta/Ling plays too. Now it evolved into pure muta / muta/bling/infestor

Ok, so are the VODs for TLO vs Nada up yet? I couldn't find it.
Edit: Doh, I just found out about kespa not allowing those VODs. Now I'm sad .

There were 5-6 people calling this an exploit a few pages back, and 2-3 saying it should be patched. Also a few saying Thors needed buffed now since they no longer hard counter mutas.
I am Zerg myself
Your icon says Terran, might wanna change that.

What would happen,if placing units little different would make banelings not? Or maybe siege tanks,what would happen if static d placed different be immune/not hard countered by siege?

Also, for those looking for the video of Nada vs TLO: (as posted in another thread) http://livestre.am/kHKN Skip to 40 minutes I believe.

It says where to go for the Nada vs TLO games (which I want to watch too) but I'm more interested in seeing the Idra games if they are in there.
EDIT: Fuck my life. I skipped to a random part in the video to see
+ Show Spoiler +A nuke killing like 40 SCV's
