Yeah...really disappointing. Is the structure change contributing to this?



UUUh the GSL has been rush rush rush since the first game of season 1 so no absolutely not?


I'm sorry that was a bit hasty. It's been like that since the first game of season 1 qualifiers obviously. It's the game.

its hard to have enough eco to win a macrogame vs 3 gate expand and still be able to hold off all sorts of 1 base shenanigans. leenock took a risk and it didnt work out.

I'd say there's actually been somewhat less cheese and all ins overall this season tbh; Rainbow's the first player I can think of this season who actually pulled a significant number of workers to attack....and well, a 4 gate is a 4gate, it's just a very strong build.

I defend 4 gates ten times better than that lol.

Getting early roach warren is essential for zerg, unless you overload scout that it is not a 4 gate rush.

Not true, there have been some great macro games. Take a look at SlayerS_BoxeR's games from tuesday.

Basically, if you don't scout the 4 gate, you're dead. That is unless you somehow felt or guessed it. However, blindly making defenses can put you quite behind economically so it's no wonder zergs are relunctant to do it.

Artosis actually just explained how to scout pressure from your early scout in ZvP.
This push is not that hard to hold; play Protoss and 4-gate on ladder 100 times yourself, and you'll never lose to it again.

I don't think he went into the game planning on 4-gate all-in. He saw the zerg hatch first freely without being pylon blocked or anything so he wanted to decide the game asap (he was behind at that point). With the far positions, 4 gate was a good way to do it.

Right.. so poor decision making (i.e. no early roach warren, droning to hard) means Genius has an unbeatable build..

You are correct; he executed it really nicely - but i wouldn't say unbeatable?

Nope. Leenock was gearing up for Stargate play. Neither Artosis nor Tasteless picked up on that. Stupid them.

The tell is pretty good, but it was discussed in the wrong context. It would be great if Leenock went for a standard speedling opening, since there is absolutely no reason for Protoss to have a stalker against that. But by going hatch before pool, he opened up Genius' option to pressure with 1 zealot and 2 stalkers which would kill a few lings, possibly force a spine, and then the stalkers would run home before zergling speed was done.
During practice session, I discovered very good build against zerg. -Bisu[Shield]

I saw that game. This 4 gate was better executed imo. Also Genius had better deception so Leenock could never really tell if it was going to be 4 gate or 3 gate expand or stargate build until Genius pushed out. Also I think Blistering Sands (iirc) is easier for zerg than Xel Naga.

I'm really dissapointed on the gsls format I think they have it backwards completely where the stronger code S players should be playing 2/3s so the better ones advance its so hard to play a variety of people in best of 1's you get people like choya winning the group because they can cheese a win out of everyone once. Where as code A I don't really care if they do group play. Also to anyone saying 4gate is wp'd, it's not its super easy to do its a free win thats the problem with sc2 so much free wins that its just becoming silly.

Stalker first = probable pressure build
Sentry first = expand build

Droning super hard after a stalker-first for a Protoss is a mistake. Pretty simple.
