I actually don't mind short games due to all-ins.. the micro-intensive battles are pretty exciting to watch. Am I the only one who feels this way?

Fuck me , how can you beat Nestea?

Monster Macro , Excellent Micro and Flashesque Decision Making (okay not quite the Flash level , but best in SC2)


Are you kidding?

Terran was || close to killing the natural hatchery but fucked it up with letting his units idle for 15 seconds.

Then Nes ran his entire army into siege tank and marines, which if he had lost his natural might have cost him the game.

Terran proceeded to lose multiple tanks, over stim marines, and only made 4 tanks for over 50 banelings?


micro was Based off the Sen games .
Nevermind , After this second match , all my points are invalid..
Thy Shall Die Alone...or emm..something like that.

I thought fruitdealer didn't have any terran practice partners who could all-in.

iono why everyone is complaining about the all-in/cheese that game. nestea going hatch first on steppes of war FORCES the terran to do that or he'll lose for sure. i consider nestea the cheeser that game and he paid for it.

Nestea:" I'm gonna hatch first on Steppes"
Rain" "You're asked to be allin?"
Nestea" Yeah"
......
few mins later

Rain"You've got it"

Really, why hatch first on steppes?

i just don't get that 15 hatch on steppes....
The game is not about having fun; it is about stopping as many other people as you can from having fun. That’s the only thing that really matters. As well as being pro.

I agree with the "anything to win" mentality for the GSL. But when it comes down to some of these terrans it seems like its the "only way to win." That's what I think upsets everyone.

Lesson learned, on steppes dont 15 hatch, do an 1base all-in!

You know that there are intermediate options, right?

hatch finishes at almost the exact time pool finishes, no reason to not get spines asap

I don't get this. Why doesn't zerg builds just 1 spinecrawler against this?


Zergs don't have their midgame economy 4 minutes into the game...

4 drones mining + constant lings, he however got a queen instead, but the spine would not have finished in time in a good position (would have been misplaced) so yeh..

I am with you, I went to get more hot cocoa and its over. I was thinking "Oh I might make it back in time to see their build orders" but not even the slightest chance.

Nestea's at fault. Whenever i play steppes of war, i go 1 base lings/blings. Always works rofl. I mean you know terran is gonna do cheesy play on this map, yet he goes hatch first

You're in the biggest SC2 tournament in the world. Cheese and take free win? Y/N

NO, I want to play with honor to appease all the whiners on Team Liquid.

i used to hate this all in stuff but I understand why terran does it. Mid game and late game you cannot stop zerg unless you are at least on par with bases. once zerg can mass banelings the game is over. perfect micro is needed and you just cant have perfect marine micro every game. Too many variables. Blizz needs to work on this so we can have more even macro games. my 2 cents.
