That's interesting - Cool wasn't confident in taking Inca in a straight up game and decided to use some all-in ish builds against him.

I disagree. I believe they put up a great performance, but Inca just got outplayed (in BOs, obviously). A faster gate in Game 1, not losing zeals in game 2 would have changed things dramatically.

The thing is, these guys have played THOUSANDS of games, so you can't say "he didn't know what to do vs a 6pool" or vs banelings. It's not like that. Great players should be great at any stage of the game, ESPECIALLY the stage where you only have a handful of units to fight with. That's why short games are so intense.

Think about it this way, if it were Tester instead of Inca, would he have done better? Judging by the games we saw, yes. Could have Tester won against this? Maybe. So it's not just the strategy, it's the art of defense, micro etc.

I like macro games too, but every now and then I want to see things like this. It's what separates the good players from the great players (see SC, legends like boxer, nal_ra, etc. all known for being great at all stages, even cheeses).

True 4 gate destroy his expo expo yourself or Canon wall in that are only 2 things that can cripple zerg right now until he bashes you with his non stop production and complete army switches, he goes ling ultra you go zel immortal you beat that, he goes mass muta and it's a gg.
Zerg has free win vs all races in late game since he can switch so fast and produce 120 food worth instantly from all saved larva.
If you don't cripple zerg early game you will be fighting a downhill fight from there.
