well as a professional sc player, haypro should have easily countered the all-in in the first game by simply scouting better and not going blindly 14-hatch in such a map (as a progamer, he should know what the current metagame is like). for the second game though, i agree with you.

i wish zergs could have more options for crazy build orders like terrans... zergs have to constantly worry about what is the terran gona do? but it doesnt seem like terrans ever really have to constantly worry about what zerg is gona do That's the nature of zerg. They're almost purely reactionary and passive, that's why Kyrix is so famous for his aggressive style. i agree and i think the different characteristics of each of the three races is what makes sc interesting and fun imo ya for sure, but it just seems like zerg doesn't have near the options terran and protoss have They're not supposed to. That's what asymmetrical balance means. Terran and Protoss can't macro like Zerg, but Zerg can pretty much only macro.
good point

Someone needs to teach HayprO how to scout, that was just sad. Position your overlord so you can see when he moves out, position another one near the rocks. Put a fucking zergling outside the dudes ramp. Control the watch towers because speedlings are good at that.
Seriously, what the hell. Nerves need to stop affecting good players.

thats true but when you 14hatch as zerg, EVERY korean terran is responding in the same way. to 14hatch, see 2 raxes and then just build a crawler and 8 lings and drone hard.
sure you cant scout it, but every terran has done it, u see the 2 rax... you gotta assume surely

Whats wrong with you people?? Stop shitting up threads when you don't know what you are talking about.
MAN it's HayprO!!!!! He has probably been playing SC longer than you can hold a Mouse sheeeshh....

Havn't heard a response yet so I'm just gonna throw it out there again, sorry if this is kinda doushy but I'm a bit of a noob and REALLY want to hear everybody's input on this thought of mine:
I'm not making a claim about balance, but I think due to the current metagame Terran WILL win this season of the GSL. Not because the 2 rax is unstoppable, but because right now if you're terran you can make them play your game for the first ten minutes of the game. You can put up two barracks so they are forced to put up a baneling nest. They put up a baneling nest so they're gonna be a little slower on their lair. They're slower on their lair so you can get some solid kills with a cloaked banshee. You can diminsh their income with the banshees so they'll need to spend more larva on drones to replenish. They're spending more larva on drones which means they have a smaller army than you therefore you can win.
My logic could be WAY off here, but that's the way Tasteosis seems to be saying these games will play out and it looks like that's what's been happening. I'd very much appreciate your guy's thoughts on this.
based on what artosis has been saying, the build is based on a scan timing. If he scans all out defense with banelings and no drone production, he'll just sit back and expand (or teching banshees seem to be in vogue). if he scouts any drone production whatsoever and a lack of defense, he'll just go kill the zerg

Don't upset us, we've been upset too many times this season. :[
Be the first to show everyone that SCV + rine pushes AREN'T invincible vs. hatch first.

you would think that just scouting would work. and you would also think from watching all the other tvz's he'd know. but its so easy to fake as we've seen.
i would love to see a blind baneling nest with speedlings after a 14/15 hatch gas and then spawning pool

I think this GSL bracket should have been organized so there was zero TvZ in the first round to weed out all the jerks with solid marine/scv micro who are weak in other areas

Why not 3 crawlers and an extra queen? No way in hell is he getting through there, especially if you can squeeze in a transfuse. Slow lings are terrible and easily tanked by the SCVs.

Why is everyone making ridiculous excuses for Haypro? If the sides were switched and Haypro was the Terran here, people would just be commenting on how brilliant his timing was. Haypro lost and he was fully capable of winning. It was not from any inability for Zerg to scout or any of that nonsense. Is that a joke? He SAW the Banshee coming, and it's not like Raven was some cheesey unit. He simply didn't defend at all, the very definition of greedy econ hungry Zergs.
Also, this wasn't even an upset. Based on what previous matchups was Haypro supposed to be favored over a guy no one knew anything about?

Hatch first in game 1 worked off amazingly well. He got it up. How would pool first be better?
Also it's easy to judge play when you can see the whole map. As Zerg you have a million things to 'worry' about when terran is staying on 1 base. The strategies performed by this terran are just a fraction of the many different things terran can throw at you and almost all of them will hurt you bad unless you are prepared for it.
You are constantly making choices...and every choice you make solidifies your position against what you THINK is coming..but leaves you wide open if you assessed the situation wrongly. You have to stay economically healthy while being able to defend...this is a very thin line you are balancing on...you overcommit to defense, you die if terran made a command center and doesnt send all his scvs towards your base. So it goes wrong often. I think Hayder just didn't scout well enough. I think he was very nervous, and the terran strategies were very hard to predict (in game 1 hayder just barely missed the attack with his scouting ling, although he should have had a ling infront of the terran base at all times - I think this is just nerves) and well executed. GG's.

even in game 1 if he hadnt hatched first we will never know how that would have turned out because terran was trying to force lings by putting really early pressure along with going up to 4 rax was going to have more marines then most terrans ive seen
and yes game 2 was a completely whack build no one could have prepared for
also i dont play z i like watching gsl tho
im speaking from gsl experience
