That was an odd final battle. I thought SangHo was in a pretty good position, but he did almost nothing with all those Phoenix. Took out a medivac or two. Seemed like if he had just picked up 10 marauders or something that it could have been closer at least.

Well Sangho did overinvest in Phoenixes imo, he had something like 10+ which didn't really pay for themselves in harass. He also let Tester get a great bio arc.

sangho had a ton of phoenixes.. tester loses most of his vikings before the fight

Sangho has a few collossus/sentries and a ton of zealots + phoenixes .. tester attacks with big mmm + ghost before charge finishes :/

hit some nice emps getting all the sentries and most of the army. poor charge-less zealots got rolled and the phoenixes were kinda useless since he had very few vikings anyway. only got like 1-2 forcefields off because of the emp on all the sentries

it was painful to watch all the charge-less zealots try to walk into the giant arc of bio after getting emp'd. they just evaporated

The Phoenix play would have worked probably against any other Terran. When most see Colossi they try to go Viking to dominate them. Tester saw through that and instead of battling for the air, added more marine / marauder and used forward EMP on the ghosts to melt SangHo's army without even bothering against the air.

Really good play on his part. I don't know what SangHo could have done to turn that around except going for Templar early instead of getting so many Phoenix. And probably spreading his sentries out more. That would have helped immensely.

yeah looked like he was caught way off guard. don't think he expected tester to attack after losing all his vikings so the two ghosts caught the whole army in a clump outside the third. emps did disgusting damage

The problem is tester had that critical mass of marauders that just destroys colossi instantly anyway.

I've seen it time and time again where mass marauder will just run a toss army over unless you get off some amazing forcefields.

Tester, please, don't let this give you any idea :p

FD said in his commentary that Tester's T was so good that he had seriously considered changing races before finally deciding to stick with P (or something like that anyway.. had to pretend I was working so I could watch)

Thanks for that.

Pretty epic stuff. Can't imagine Tester as any other race than Toss.
Tester is such a well rounded player, really solid.
heh, I also think he looks liek badass in rl <- BALLER.

REALLY wanting him to go far in GSL 3, in2 the ro4 at least. Here's hoping he's still extremely lactose intolerant (1 gate vs 2 gate proxy rush whattttt) and doesn't botch anything (memories of ITR vs sSks)
