Bad position, he lost a ton of roaches to forcefields and did pretty much no damage.

Yep, you have a grudge against incontrol, I think you've gotten your point across.

Was a fun game to watch, but both of them have a lot to improve on. incontrol lost due to lack of scouting and ret won due to sheer volume of units from the hidden expo :/ Felt like ret should've been able to secure an easier win, though *maybe* he was planning to throw atleast a bit of his units away, to make room for hydras, dunno.

How? He didn't scout ret's third at all until way late. That basically gave ret the game right there.

It wasn't just blink stalkers and it wasn't just broodlords.

But yes, if you have zerglings or roaches right below the broodlords it's kind of hard for the blink stalkers to blink in and snipe them.

You should see how upset he gets on his stream about incontrol.

iNcontroL usually doesn't 4gate lol.

Ret played well in game two, but two things really won it for him:

1. His early fourth base not being scouted
2. iNcontroL not getting his third up until super super late

Forcefields aren't free, and roaches are easily replaced. Otherwise, Inc wasn't going to be moving out without a 200/200 army anyways. He only countered because Ret attacked.

It is a grudge against protoss. I don't understand why they 4 gate when they are at the advantage (shakura's pvz). Specially a player hoping to join a premiere league and show good games. Go watch Kiwikaki vs Idra, that is how every protoss should play vs Zerg, there is no reason not to.

I disagree I thought Ret played a better game. DTs damage was minimized. Expanded and Macro'd better. Defended all of Incontrol's pushes and Transitioned better into the late game.

When incontrol lost his sentries he lost the game.
I have a dream, that some day I wouldn't see any imba comments in GSL threads.

He took 2 hidden expos AND teched spire, all with no defense to hold off any kind of 5/6 gate timing attack. That's just gambling, and it worked this time, but it's not something you can do two games in a row.

edit: to hidiliho, any good player can look like they're macroing well if they take two hidden expos that don't get scouted. Maybe ret played well by poker standards, but I'm hesitant to say it by RTS standards.
During practice session, I discovered very good build against zerg. -Bisu[Shield]

Thats pretty much it. If he scouts the early 4th he could have pushed and won or if his 3rd went up sooner he wouldn't have been so far behind. He had some clutch DT's to keep him in longer than he should have been.

we all know about your grudge and you were given a second chance and unbanned but your whining in this thread is getting extremely tiresome

There weren't mass stalkers at that point...


It was when he engaged. He had like 2 collosi.

Granted Incontrol didn't attempt much blink micro w/ shield to get in extra damage.
