It's really not hard to scout with an ovie or overseer.
By the time overseer tech is out its too late, and overlords aren't exactly the fastest units in sc2.

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? agree with this entirely. im all for foreigner worship but haypro played really really badly and he could have held all that off, or just NOT 14hatched... this has nothing to do with terran being cheesy, this was his fault. and im a zerg player. what should he have done instead? 1 based? 6 pooled?
How about 14 pool 15 hatch so he has more lings?
|
If anything else, making (like idra did vs chicken combo) a shitload of lings and having the ability to make banelings out of them isn't that bad even if they don't go scv hunting... cause remember kids; Zerg can actually go on the godamn offencive at times!
Anyway Haypro you know we love your melancholy face, go get em next time !

I have played against 2 rax a TON.. It's usually a lot more allin, with 3-5 scvs at the start.but after that the usual follow-up seems to be a CC after the initial pressure fades off. This 4 rax thing is an obvious timing attack that aims at zergs who feel comfortable after the 2 rax seems to have 'not worked'. Terran never even planned on doing initial damage, that's why he only sent 1 scv with his marines. He added the quick 2 rax to come with a very large force marines at a timing hayder is not used to.
Anyway, of course haypro shouldve had a baneling nest and a ling infront of terrans base, and he should have won these games. I just wanted to explain what I think happend in those games...and I just want to say again that I think Haypro is an amazing player, and he will definately produce good results in the future, he has the potential.

Interesting discussion. I don't think an expansion as early as 14 should be 'safe', which is the only way to justify having (being forced) to go banelings for defense in response. i.e. You are expanding blindly, it stands to reason you might have to do a few other things blind to compensate.
I don't think it is a matter of psychic abilities or perfect scouting for that matter, there are safety nets that need to be inserted into any sort of fast expand build that players sometimes omit - especially when they don't have positive confirmation (from scouting) that they are 'needed'.
It sucks that Haypro lost, I am a big fan. But I just couldn't imagine any sort of high level performance 'consistency' in a game that has been on the markets for about a quarter, and that is still enduring balance changes monthly. I don't think it is fair to credit starcraft 2, citing the prevalence of build order losses, for inconsistent performances. I think it is inevitable due to the stage of development starcraft 2 is in - infancy.
I would be highly surprised if within a year there isn't the emergence of some very consistent performances by many a player, in fact Ret/Haypro/Jinro/Huk/Idra/et.al are top of my spectator wish-list to become said competitors. I highly doubt that any of these players, once "there" will say it is their psychic performance that keeps them there; well, they will likely credit luck being that they are humble, but honestly the consistent players will find the competitive edge which I'd wager will be found with either safety netting economic footholds or with agressive or forceful tech/scouting, everything in between I agree to be a guessing game.

lol. Why are you at home posting on TL instead of at the studio cheering Haypro on?
Also, do TL players consult artosis for advise or discuss strategy/metagame usually?

In the interview he said that it was so that he could deploy an autoturret to absorb baneling damage

okay, this post is the winner lol. i think u summed up the terran skill and haypro's faults quite succintly there.
best of luck to you ret, i really expect you to go deep and will be rooting for you

Cheers to Ret for posting in the thread. Great to hear your thoughts.
C'arn Hayder! Get em next time!

So bad... That's a naive comment to say the least. Haypro is a phenomenal player that was caught out of his element. In terms of raw skill, he is probably one of the best foreigners around. No offence but your counter-comment sir, is naive as well. If you claim that Haypro is a 'phenomenal player', I would appreciate you back it up with evidence / proof claiming he is of such standard. From what we saw today (and I'm assuming many ppl have not seen Haypro's play much), wouldn t you agree that he does not fit the bill of a 'phenomenal player'? In my opinion, Haypro has much to improve on. He may possess the mechanics to make him a good player but I personally believe he needs to improve his gameplay sense, to be able to counteract what he's being faced with. 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.... http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/HayprOedit: spell-check
I am HayprO's age. So maybe you should retract your statement about the mouse. Perhaps you assume everyone here is juvenile apart from you. I beg to differ.
Also, this is not 'shitting up threads' as you so claim it is. I merely asked for some reference to him being a 'phenomenal player'. From today's showing, he clearly did not fit that bill.
I provided my opinion and if you are unhappy with it, so be it.
In any case, thanks for providing the link to Haypro's page.

Haypro played pretty poorly, I'm sure his nerves got to him. I hope he does better next time.

It's quite obvious in game 2 that scouting was not the issue. The player clearly wanted Haypro to see what he was doing in every case. He moved the factory out to the front right where he knew the overseer was positioned to show off his hellion.
This forced Haypro to go Roach Warren and Roaches. By making one hellion, the opponent made Haypro tech into something he wanted and made him also, to an extent, build more in response to the hellion than he should have (this is why he put the factory on the tech lab, giving impression of blue hellion drop).
Then he put the starport in exactly the same position to show banshee. As Artosis and Tasteless commented "I can't believe he didn't go a second banshee", this is exactly what Haypro probably was thinking also. With the starport on the techlab and the first banshee out, this forced Haypro to overreact and build a overseer, an extra queen, a Spire, and I believe a few spore crawlers also.
While it may seem like this provided no advantage, the Terran was slowly getting small advantages each time he forced a tech change and an overreaction. This was all in preparation for a timing attack / I guess All-In which the Terran seemed to have planned from the start.
Thus, Haypro's loss wasn't scouting because he saw everything coming... the opponent made sure that he did.
