Dimaga is awesome. And he should get more props for being one of the guys that invent zergbuilds... and even use alot of new and risky strats in showgames and tournies. He has better micro and is more inventive than Kiwi... by far (in my opinion at least).

Dimaga...please switch to terran and start raping. I don't think you're as good as IdrA as zerg, but you'd sure beat the hell out of 99.9% of every other player as terran.

I fail to see how dimaga is more creative tho, there was one thing I found was pretty unorthodox and it was the nydus -> queens + hydras + roaches

and that is only because he took 3 queens to transfuse which I thought was creative, everything else seemed pretty standard, he just execute it better than most zergs

then again the blink stalker style kiwi use could be viewed as just as creative, so was his blink stalker -> snipe overseer and rape with DTs

I agree with the creative part. After reading the ZvP thread on his speedling > fast hive strat on the strategy section I was really looking forward to him doing it in this showmatch. It's too bad it didn't work out. He's always entertaining to watch, and I imagine his unpredictability is scary to play against.

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



This is what I fucking hate about zerg, how crap our upgrade are, and how crap and uninsteresting the units is. I have no idea why zergs evolved into being braindamaged, too much partying I guess. I hope Blizzard can do something about this before the expansion.

Still, Dimaga played fucking crazy stupid, engaging at the worst possible place. He needs to be smart at the places he engages. I would love to see him just lose the gold expansion, and pick the fight at a better place, preferable flanking with zerglings at the weak stalkers blinking back.

What good games! Like seriously!

The games were terrific. The micro was amazing, the macro - well not that amazing but the fact that these two players with their two unique styles clashed in an epic series more than makes up for any shortcomings.

The casting was just as good. I like the fact that the two caster (hats off to you Incontrol and Lz) know the game really intimately but dont feel the need to overindulge in thinking 10 moves ahead unlike some other casters do. They see whats going on, give nice strategic insight which is enough for players of all levels to appreciate and move on. They dont dwell overly long on explaining as its a meant to be a cast not a lecture. And they both had really good chemistry, both had different personalities which allowed both to play off each other unlike the IEM cast where both day9 and apollo were talking over each other.

And for those crying over balance? Look I admit zerg needs a bit of an overhaul but i believe ZvP is the closest thing to being balanced (excluding mirror matchups of course).

Lovely blinks, incredibly creative zerg play and not a marauder in sight. So shut up about balance and enjoy the games. I know I have.

I think he really was forced to take this fight there. Because he wouldn´t be able to defend another expansion on this map. He could go for the 2nd on the lowground or just fake to go there and blink/run to the natural and in both ways the hydras would be out of place with some forcefields and with loosing the 2 expnasions it would be over anyway so he tried to hold on to the gold and wasn´t able to hold it.

After game 4 I thought for sure Kiwi was just going to get another win. As much as I enjoy watching Kiwi play, Dimaga seemed to try and force the win way to much. However Kiwi's Stalker micro at the end there was amazing.

Other then the silly Battle.net 2.0 problems at the start, the stream this week was fantastic. Big props to you guys for setting this up and to glhf.tv for providing a fantastic stream.

Why does it seem like in every single game where a zergs ground army gets roflstomped by a protoss/terran army that its always the zerg who made the "mistake"?

Maybe its because you can't stim/blink Hydralisks into your enemy? Who knows. Maybe because you can't make your ultralisks move up a cliff to get out of the way of your other units? Who knows. Maybe because your units operate between 5 and 3 range with no utility functions at all? Of course for 150/150 you can make that 6 to 3 range. Maybe its because zerg cant create impassable terrain to prevent your opponents ranged army from forming a concave? Who knows. Maybe this mythical micro you envision pro-zergs having doesn't actually exist and when 20 stalkers are bearing down on your natural and you don't have the option to retreat to a forcefielded/blocked off ramp, maybe just maybe attacking with your hydralisks is the best option. Who knows.

Maybe Kiwikaki > Dimaga

who knows

seriously dude

ya i loved the way he would wait for the moment his nexus finished and then attack while his extra gateways were warping in
that was brilliant
