You can't play straight up after your ramp gets cannoned...


Yes you can. You creep tumor, Spine Crawler it down while droning, and expand when you take it down.


That takes too long.
You can't see what the P is doing so you'll most likely lose to 4 gate all-in straight after.

Yeah lzgamer and I are trying to play more sc2 so we can figure this darn game out and know more for the cast.. our apologies. Also flame war? We legitimately feel that europe as a whole is completely humorless and inferior to AMERIKA.


Actually I thought you guys were pretty funny, and made some sensible guesses of what was going to happen, its fun when the casters are not always right. Usually the people that knock casters have never tried doing it themselves, harder than it looks...

please people, stalkers are better than hydras

stalkers come out with 6range and 160 health, 80 of it regens

hydras come out with 5range and 80health

stalkers spend 150/150 for a kick ass ability

hydras spend 150/150 to have 6 range


hydras ONLY beat stalkers when they have way better position which blink should stop from ever happening. when the position is equal stalkers beat hydras. blink makes stalkers DECIMATE hydras


Wtf are you smoking? Hydras > Stalkers. Stalkers never 'decimate' Hydras by any means either.

Damn that was a great series, note to self: when incontrol tells me not to go mass stalker vs hydra I will simply reply "What would kiwikaki do".

This was the most fun i ever had watching sc2 ! Great job everyone.

The only small problem was indeed 2-3x 5 sec tab out during game + huge big ass commercials between games ^^, but i could live with it.

In IEM against Tarson Idra built like 5 blings and broke a depot/bunker contain on his ramp. I know he's played a few games against Tester where he does the exact same thing Kiwikaki did and he broke it and transitioned into a standard macro game. Those were awhile ago though so I don't really remember when that was.

Good job dude, you were much smoother with the camera today. (still a tad wonky in spots, but obviously excusable considering your efforts and contributions.)

keep it coming!

/Agree, he seemed a bit scared / overpassive after the 6 pool.

btw, not sure if you're planning to do anything with the replays, but they are posted @ www.root-gaming.com if anyone is interested. (if you ARE planning to do something with them let me know and i'll remove them or something)

I've been in several situations where 6 Hydralisks have decimated by army of 10-12 Stalkers.

Kiwikaki showed incredible micro, and the Force Fields forced Dimaga to continue with the attack despite having:

a) worse arc positioning
b) hydras in front (no tanking damage from Roaches)
c) no speedlings to trap forces

Dimaga showed amazing Zerg play though: he's such an inspirational player considering he can go from 1 base Zerg plays with Nydus/Burrow/Roach plays into standard long macro games. He really is the best Zerg in Europe in my view- such a beast.

Congrats to Kiwikaki nonetheless though.

And about the European jokes, you should respect Britain because we've given the world the best music, best comedy, best television and best radio stations.

As a Protoss player you can learn a lot from the fact Kiwi managed to stay on Gateway units (inc. Observer for Creep tumour snipes) and came out ahead in most fights due to his superior position (Stalker > Hydra movement off creep: favours Protoss for the attacking position) and his micro with both Force Field and Blink. Force Field was used by Kiwi not to "trap" units, but moreso to decrease the attacking position Dimaga attacked from: instead of 8 Hydras, there were 2 lines of 4 with only 1 line being able to fire- great displays of micro from both players though.

VODs?

Sorry, I don't want to look through the thread or it'll get spoiled and all I see in OP is replays.
