Mothership (in most cases) is like a huge hallucination. Main purpose is to detract fire from your main army for some seconds, which can be crucial, if you have an army capable of dealing tons of damage in that time.

Silver fell apart, he played awful and he is really much better than that. Getting supply blocked constantly, engaging in terrible positions, going for a early aggression build then does no early aggression.

Live tournament play, a skill in itself.

Silver should have used those vikings more to snipe units and harass as well.

Kiwi may have just surpassed Socke as my favorite player to spectate, I'm just so impressed with how he decimates the early bioball that every protoss has complained and raged about since release.

Kiwi had ~10 immortals that why he ran over that mm ball. Cutting Colo production and goin back to immortal... win


It seems that the popular consensus is that immortals are bad against terran mid/lategame because marauder balls melt them since you can get so many marauders. However, ofc this doesn't account for the protoss himself massing immortals. In the case where there are very high numbers of each, and not just 2-3 immortals thrown into the army for fun, kiwi is showing us the devestation that can wreck in lategame.

Its kind of funny that people complained and whined saying alot of the players in GSL were horrible. This is 10x worse when it comes to some players... but, there are also some players playing pretty well.. haven't seen anything impressive yet though.


KiWi has so far played better than anyone did at GLS 64 and 32 rounds

And IdrA was beaten by Silver at a tournament

Seriously dude


Hard to say how well Kiwi really played. He looked to be on top of his game, but then again Silver played rather poorly and engaged in some real silly spots

"better than anyone" is a pretty bold, silly statement to make.
I think Kiwi is better than some of the players that participated but hes still far away from the skill lvl of for example tester.

Kiwi was just able to take the lead with the early immortals, he was able to beat back the early bio pressure and he expanded first whilst denying silver's expansion for a minute or so. At this level that's just huge.


I was pretty surprised when Silver didn't push in really early. Thought that was the whole point of getting Conc shells so early...

Better than anyone played in GSL ro64 and 32? Are you serious? Yeah you said you were serious. Get a grip. He plays well and I like the 1 gate robo build, but you cant compare anything he has done to some of Testers play in ro64 and ro32. Tons of better games and better plays in both ro64 and ro32.

Did you even see PoltPrime, TLO, Tester, Fruitdealer, oGsTop, ITR, oGsInca and the tons of others extremely good games in ro64 and ro32?

I think mothership was made to be a damage sponge. 700 hp = 3/4 colossi that stays alive.

Colossi have 200/150 health, so one mothership soaks damage from 2 colossi at 200 less minerals, not even counting in the effect cloak could have.

Ugh the shitty spawn positions on DQ... right next to eachother. Suggy has a huge edge since he has the protected nat with these positions. Really high chance of seeing VRs with these positions + this map.

You said 10 times worse, and you said Silver couldnt beat IdrA at a tournament, showing how little you know and how little you actually follow SC2

Give it up and before you hit "Post" at least spend 4-5 seconds thinking your replies through.

Not gonna waste more time on you, i rather enjoy these games

No Zergs...I love me some TvP and even TvT, but a few vZ would make this more fun to watch.

(Is there a reason why Idra, an American living in Korea, played in the IEM tournament for Europe?)

indeed. If I were a pro gamer it'd take me a couple of seasons worth of play to develop coping strategies to clam those stage nerves. I'd be shaking like Lindsay Lohan in rehab on my first games.
