although I feel bad for slush (and for the tournament, since all zergs are out) the strategy of TTOne was just brilliant - he faked an early two-gate push, Slush had to put down the roach warren which delayed not only the expansion but also the tech

if TTOne had just teched straight up to void rays who knows, maybe Slush would've teched faster or wouldn't have gotten the banelings

This game was not really the game to complain about balance or anything. TTOne basically outsmarted SlusH and sadly Slush overreacted by his 2 gate. Was very surprised when Day9 didn't expect the Stargate when he didn't push out. I am a pretty bad player but even I saw that coming. Roach+Zerg vs Void Ray

Funny how T and P can get some of the most powerful air units in the game super fast and Zerg is sort of screwed over.

2 Queens and 1 Transfuse beats 2 non-charged Void Rays. If you let the Void Ray charge, you're doing something wrong.

It is totally ridiculous that one unit can win the game. Slush was in complete control until 1 void ray destroys 2 bases.

Oh please all Slush needed to have was one more Queen in his main and then he could've held that VR off and he would've been fine. It's his fault that he committed so much to a T1 attack and didn't even bother to scout or have a spare Queen.

Well, I'm done watching this tournament. Nothing but all-ins and Marauders bullshit. Everyone is too scared to play against Zerg into even the mid-game.

Why would anyone play into their opponents strong sides? If they are to do that, they might as well drop every game against zerg. It's a tournament, and the winning is what counts, so I see nothing bad about exploiting the advantages of your race and disadvantages of the opponents race.

Spore cannons. Build them if you scout air

Edit: Also, more queens.

Agree, very sad to see the early game from zerg get abused hard. Makes me laugh every time I hear oh this map doesn't favor zerg, oh this position is not where the zerg wants to be. Zerg.. odds against you all the time. Feels good.

TTone planned it from the start... slush went for roach to defend against a 2gate... and possibly delay the spire... the baneling bust wasnt a good idea either... delaying that spire even more... having an extra queen would just have been enough to delay that VR's harass... muta ling would have been better on that game imo... but slush is 100x better than me... and i dont play zerg so ill stfu now... lol
