I agree I really didn't see any parts where you could have ended the game due to QXC's mass defense of Vikings/Tanks/pdd and PF's. takes alot of patience glad you had that instead of throwing the game away or something .
When I think of something else, something will go here

Yeah it's a problem, but maybe you couldve took advantage of the tank immobility by doing a massive drop where his production buildings were. And less encounters in the chokes and just wait til the turtle terran moves out to do a counter attack elsewhere forcing him to move his slow immobile army back.

The game reminded me of Idra vs drewbie, the one where idra raged at drewbie for playing terran. I feel like the same problems of idra's play that game were evident here. Watching the game there was a lot of choked ultras that got melted away by sieges and what not. Which is what happened to Idra in that kulas ravine match way back

That last game must have been so tilting. 30K more resources mined but it was near impossible to break him. Congrats anyway
this game is a fucking jokie

Breaking a turtling terran is hard as hell, especially one that good turtling that well!

Was like an unstoppable force hitting an unmoveable object, both players are champions for smashing into each other and being so damn equal.

When qxc started pumping the vikings, I kept looking for the production tab for more ultras.

Also, do you think using mutas and infestors been a better way to attack at the mass vikings than corruptors?


But still, epic series, amazing game 7, gg and gratz to both! So entertaining!

I don't even know what happened that game. I mean.. what the.. what? How did ret not win earlier, how the hell did qxc survive for that long? Holy goddamn what an end to a series.

3-3 tanks planetary forces and how terran units are way more cost effective than zerg specially in the hands of a great player like qxc?

I dont know, games like these werent that uncommon in bw. Why are people flipping on this like ret played bad? he didnt.

Never once said ret played bad, don't get me wrong. Suppose that might've just been a general statement though.

If it was the GSL finals it would be one thing and yadayada could be improved, but fuck me, one hell of a showmatch.

Problem was with that many vikings and DQ being so small, the drops would have been sniped long before he could have gotten them down. Sensor towers make it really hard to drop. I guess a drop then broodlords in front while vikings deal with drop might have worked.

Man that was one of the sickest series I have watched in awhile. Props to both players and congrats Ret for defending your throne.

Yeah, 200 terran army beats zerg 200 army easy. They just have more versatility that we have to wait til HoS to see some of that for Zerg. The only thing to do is to make better plays with what ya got

Holy crap that game was insane. Pretty amazing defense put up by QXC. Really demonstrates the defensive prowess of fortified Terran position.

but nice to see ret being comptetive and winning. looking forward to dallas!
When you came along so righteous with a new national hate, so convincing is the ardor of war and of men, it's harder to breathe than to believe you're a friend. The wars at home, the wars abroad, all soaked in blood and lies and fraud.
