Looks like Best completely outplayed Ret , he was much bether than the 2 previous terans and he had some great strategies.


Completely outplayed is a bit strong. If Ret hadn't mis-microed his banelings off creep he woulda won.
He got a bit impatient.

Terran is pathetic how bad he is...

(G) how to succeed in sc2 ?
1. Pick T
2. learn 5, 1-2base all ins, go win GSL


Protip: last two winners of GSL were both Zerg.

On Topic:
Sad to see Ret go out, but I couldn't fault TheBest's play, it was relentless and brutal.


Protip: last two seasons, zergs were able to downvote maps.

Ret was clearly outplayed in the last two games. TheBest had strong harass, forcing Ret out of his usual (and beastly) macro style.
What won TheBest the last game wasn't the map, it was co-ordinated harass with the hellions, sniping the queen and getting that viking to take out the overlords.

Saying that the maps were the main reason for the losses is a cop-out, and frankly, insulting to both players.


A zerg being "outplayed" on steppes of war. You must be joking.

Serious? lol Fruitdealer won VS terran on Steppes btw. -_-

He won despite the map. His opponent made a lot of mistakes. Every Zerg player I've ever heard comment on map balance agrees that map is nearly impossible to win on at top levels.


The real question you have to ask when zerg wins TvZ on steppes is: Did terran all in?
Never Regret anything because at one time it was exactly what you wanted.

LiquidRet looses because of the (Terran-favoring) 2nd and 3rd maps Steppes of War and Jungle Basin of which he had no means whatsoever to vote down. Now that's a bummer...

Pretty sure FruitDealer just won on what would be a "terran-favoring" map. Ret knew what was coming and didn't defend. Simple as that. Haters gonna hate...


ye he screwed up 3rd game but if people could vetoed map he never wouldve had to play a stupidly imbalanced map with steppes of war.

It's funny how both Idra and Ret tend to overdrone, and when someone exploits it, he gets flamed.


It's funny how you actually have to drone. There was no overdrone in this game.
Do you even know how fucking ineffective all Zerg units are against MMM?
Very...

Zerg is so underpowered.

So underpowered that they won the past two GSL.

Real nice control from thebest. I was rooting for ret, but you know, stuff happens. Steppes was just an evil map, but on Jungle Basin it wasn't the map that was the problem so much I don't think, as the key reason that that map is impossible is that whole third base thing, which never came into effect.

The notion that the map is to blame for that third game is completely inane.

1. Ret shouldn't have made a spire, that's 8 blings right there.
2. After scouting 1 base all in, make more spine crawlers?

I don't understand the rage in this topic. I understand a TeamLiquid player lost, but people are acting like Ret lost to a nobody.

The Terran played very well with a well thought out strategy in SoW and with incredible micro in Jungle Basin.

A lot of you have been complaining about Marine + SCV rushing from Terrans every game when the Zerg FE's and this Terran didn't even really do it once.

So, basically, you got your wish and now you are even more up in arms.

As far as maps, maybe SoW isn't Zerg favored, but I clearly remember FruitDealer take a victory on it not too long ago. The map is winnable.

Hate to say, but thebest play a very good game, cool build and good multitask. And Ret pay for being greedy. After fend off the 1st attack from terran. Ret continue to drone up...and that cost him the game.
Please dont blame it on map or race. Ret played quite bad this game.


Nothing wrong with saying it how it is.
