God I've played Genie on Osu! so many times, listening to it without the little circles to click is so confusing.

Getting ready for a SuperNova/Losira roflstomp. God SuperNova has the most badass ID. FruitDealer can deal as much fruit as he wants, you can't kill a SuperNova!

I must say that I have become a pretty big SuperNova fan. Even though I'm a Toss player, it's nice to see a Terran that can actually rip though strong Toss players with consistency.
|
artosis trying to curse supernova!
|
lol artosis rips on polt prime so hard
|
The stream seems really laggy today. I've even switched to SQ Quality and it still sucks. :[
|
It's funny because Artosis was in love with Polt during GSL1.
|
someone please post the url... sigh
|
I like Polt, but he often makes such bad decisions that I don't root for him anymore
|
ffs stream already down... wth
|
Nova gets a kill with his reaper and scouts natural. Getting ready to do his BFH drop now. Lot's of marines for Polt.
|
Stream is fine with the VLC method here...
Nice reaper scout BTW
|
Wow that SCV pulling was fast
|
Artosis wants Supernova to win badly
|
The drop softens up some scv's but Polt had very fast reaction and hellions had to retreat. Bansee for Nova arrived for harass but died immediately and dropship at red health. Polt's scv production is lower then Nova's.
|
I like this Blue flame/ Banshee opening in pro games. Much better than 2 players rushing to siege tanks.
|
Bad turret placement for polt, allows Nova to hold on different angles and shoot scv's, 3 dead so far.
|

Yeah some more biased commentary going on... Boxer vs Zenio all over again Really really hope Polt wins this, just to go with the whole theme of the season.
|
Damn! 11 kills just now with 2 BFH's in Polt's main, 55 to 38 scv's atm.
|
wow SuperNova almost doubling the SCVs of Polt
|
MMM Vs Tank. Let's see :D
|
Polt is keeping up with his upgrades, 1/1 done and 2/2 quarter-way done for his infantry.
|
SuperNova is streaming so much stuff out
|
The main reason theres such a supply discrepancy is because Polt missed basically every other supply depot. Everytime I see him he's supply blocked and building 3 depots.
|
can someone pls do a live report if possible - thanks
|
Guys, more LR please? God, I hate being at work...
|
WHY WONT STREAM WORK FOR ME OMG
|
Polt decides to attack siege tank line and see where it leads him, self-explanatory!
|

MMM wins that easily if the games of TLO are taken into consideration ^^

Supernova got an advantage in economy.
|
Supernova with a marine drop on Polt's third, takes out all the scv's before it died.
|
Ohh smashed through. That was impressive.
|
Polt flanked the siege line and CRUSHED it.
|
|
|
Wow, that was an unexptected total slaughter, SuperNova lost everything that can fight
|
Polt sandwich destroys the mass tank army of supernova.
|
Polt flanking the tanks of Supernova and take out everything. Now he's moving forward to Supernova's base.
|
Polt almost fully upgraded, it's clearly helping.
|
Polt forces Nova to lift off his cc at the third, Nova does a another drop, not much damage.
|
Supernova does some drops (first hellions - and kills like 15 scv's)
Wow, and now Polt kills all the tanks with a good stim timing. Huge.
|
Artosis and Tasteless have always massively underestimated Polt. His mechanics are poor but he's a pretty clever player.
|
Polt is playing really well, getting his upgrades and denying most of the drops
|
Polt stims and takes out Nova's third base, that's huge.
|
United States7116 Posts
Polt gets Nova's CC, Polt now a base up on Nova.
The Tastetosis curse in action
|
|
|
Polt's upgrades are really paying off here. The attack upgrades on the marauders are crushing the tanks.
|
United Kingdom38149 Posts
Polt playing a really solid game, dealt with the massive harass pretty well and now executing the MMM play nicely.
|
Polt should mass expand now.
|
3-3 bio owns tanks any day.
|
I knew the second Artosis started bashing Polt that he was going to play great.
|
Polt researching building armor ?
|
Polt going for an MMM build and supernova went for Tank marine
polt is far more mobile and flanking more
Polt is far ahead at the moment killing tanks and expos
|
|
|
supernova really not able to harass, another drop goes down
|
Nada why not siege those tanks!!
|
Polt playing like MarineKing
|
Polt takes game 1, mass tanks too immobile vs mass infantry, especially in this huge map.
|
|
|
|
|
Wow, Supernova got crushed.
Supernova should have been ready for the MKP style.
|
Good work by Polt. Always happy when a player finds some form when unexpected.
|
United Kingdom38149 Posts
Very good game from Polt imo, a textbook example of great MMM usage vs a tank heavy composition.
|
Polt has beaten some big names before. His victory over SlayerS_BoxeR in GSL3 is one of GSL's biggest upsets.
He's honestly an underestimated player.

In that last game, what would you guys think about adding on a reactor factory, and adding blue flame hellions to your army composition? Since you already have the tech, seems like it would be a decent way to fight the bio ball without depending completely on siege tanks to do the damage.
|
MKP and polt is on the same team so no surprise he got that style perfectly.

I still think SuperNova will take this, Polt has choked a lot in previous games and SuperNova is pure class, first game was an aberration :D

Oof. What a bomb from Tasteless. That joke make my neck tingle.

Reactor factory means you can't use that factory for tanks, and Polt was going more marauder heavy. Also hellions explode instantly from stim so I don't know.

the problem with the reactor hellions is the amount of marauders he had i think... ima toss player.. but correct me if im wrong .. dont hellions even with blue flame perform poorly vs marauders

Polts timings when attacking are great, getting mini concaves with multiple flanks
|
wow polt has improved so much
|
Again with the 2-2, the double E-bay is a huge factor in making this build stay effective as tank numbers grow.
|
Polt's gold has been scouted and he's using his army to protect it. Big battle and most tanks die but more reinforcements arrive. Another battle marines were out of position and most tanks get sniped Polt steam rolling at this point.
|
Polt has a 30 suppy lead over Nova thanks to the gold.
|
sc2 makes no sense anymore lol
What am I watching! May I not cheer for anyone?
|
3/3 coming up again, and Supernova's tank count has been reset.
Hugely suprising 2:0 could be very close.

polt totally demolishing supernova. Much better upgrades, much better econ, better army.

wow polt about to hit 3-3 and it's only 19 mins into the game

Why does SuperNova just siege up his high ground and take two bases? Its hard to break Polt now as he has army advantage, but Polt cant attack into sieged tanks
|
The lack of upgrades are killing Supernova.

Polt is really showing why he deserves to be in Code S

Polt's 3/3 finished soon. SN still on 1/1 bio and 0/0 tanks. Sick.

Upgrades seem to be the dexcisive factor again ...

Polt is effectively doing something like a Protoss Double Forge build. He was getting close to 3/3 really fast. That kind of murders stuff. And was SuperNova getting any upgrades?
|
Why choose two terrans??????????????
|
Polt has improved, excellent.

Polt definitely playing better than when he got rolled by Jinro on the same map.
I think Supernova will still be too good for TheBest though...at least I hope so.
|
Hmm, Supernova was disappointing there, and Polt was solid.
|
Can't believe MKP's style work on that map..... shocker!

Polt playing a couple of excellent matches, really nice flanks with his bio and some great timing on catching tanks unsieged or unprotected. Very happy to see him succeed, but I do hope SuperNova pulls through in this next set.

Godamn you Polt, killing my liquibets while you kill SuperNova :S!

Supernova completely outplayed. I'm glad for Polt.
|
Looks like his humiliation at jinro's hands focused polt's mind.

Should have gone for a group with Protoss and let MVP roflstomp this group

I'm going to blame the time in the morning for the misunderstanding of this video and myself.
|
I accidentally typed in "Wolverine Sausage" and yeah, that was inappropriate
|
As far as I remember, TvT metagame excluded marine-marauder composition a few months ago BECAUSE OF Ravens' PDD and evolved into "less projectile" units composition. I am a diamond terran player and I will be so glad if there is any master terran help me understand why these high level terrans refuse to use PDD. I really want to know the motive behind not to use PDD.
Thank you beforehand.

producing tanks, medivacs and some upgrades like supernova was doing consumes all the gas that you get on 2 bases, so it's not viable until the later stages where you have the gas income to support some ravens. There is also an inconvenience in needing a starport with a techlab for the ravens.

marines can snipe the drones if need be, but the use of PDD is not why TvT transitioned to marine/tank viking.

8 kills with the banshee, it died for a good cause.

They used to be real bad. I'm glad with the degree of bias has softened compared to the past, though I hope Artosis would drop this oGs-is-the-better-than-sliced-bread attitude. And there is no reason to grind on a player's performance months ago when people improve and the game changes so quickly. You'd think he had learned after the SanZenith incident.

The Best is pulling a Hyperdub. The old 1 base play where you float around in the middle of the map indecisvely for 15minutes. Then finally attacking when you're already miles behind in supply after the expansion has kicked in.

You could very well be true, but I just hope he's talking about Ocarina, A Link to the Past is cool, not very Zelda though lol. But yeah, he would probably be playing A Link to the past when he was that age =P I'm like 5 years younger, so I naturally jump at everything from Ocarina =P

My only complaina about the OP is that when you spoiler the games you only do it for the games played. So in case of Supernova vs Polt you have only Game 1 and Game 2 so when you open game 1, you know who won the whole thing.
It's a small thing and can be argued that why someone who doesnt want to get spoiled is looking at them anyways but I just like to open them one by one for the excitement :D

Well that was painful to watch.
Losira next, hopefully much better matches.

Supernova put a really sloppy effort into putting that code S pendant back in place

Supernova did some good harassment but seemed like he just threw away units in weird engagements.

SuperNova finishing at 0/0 upgrades was disheartening. Would've been able to push a lot easier, and better drop harass with some upgrades

Supernova never played in GSTL in the OGS vs IM match. It was Ensnare, Top, Hyperdub and MC.

With the double TTT groups we've had today and yesterday, I think the players rank up about like this (at least in TvT):
TOP
Polt = Rain
SuperNova = Hyperdub
TheBest

I agree, SuperNova played beautiful in COde A, but TheBest just didnt want to win there
|
It's weird, maybe it's cause I'm drunk and thinkly poorly (it's my 21st birthday woo!) but that really was, unfortunately, some pretty low level TvT from what we're used to in the GSL. Honestly, in the GSL TvT is generally really entertaining, it's one of my favorite matchups, but that was just not the case tonight. I don't really expect SuperNova getting very far next season in Code S.

That's not how you judge people. You judge them based off of overall results, not a single day's performance. You could watch Foxer's first match in GSL2 against BabyWeRRa and go, "Oh, man, this guy is terrible, how could he be in Code S" and ignore all his other accomplishments.
|
I would have to figure that once Supernova knew he had the game in hand, he stopped focusing 100%. He kind of went into autopilot. Yes, the finish was sloppy, but I'm sure if it was closer, you wouldn't have seen those same kind of mistakes. It's like a basketball team that's up by 40 pts at halftime. The final score will be much closer than the game actually deserved.

You're basing his skill upon TvT only. I guess MVP should be in Code A(which he is) since his TvP is bad?
SuperNova has a 100% win rate against protoss and is Code A runner-up, I don't see why he shouldn't be in Code S considering how awful TheBest is and he's been in code S for how long?

Extended highlights of Losira vs Huk being played, including ceremony to finish. I didn't see that match and was led to believe that Huk was stomped, but that looked like a lot of fun!

This could be an indication that he's much better at TvP than TvT. Or maybe it was just not a good day for him. Either way, I can't say I'm looking forward to his next games.
At least, the game vs Polt was kinda fun because Polt kicked his ass so handily.

Sure, it would have worked with MVP too. You could watch his performance in the Up/Down matches and go, man, MVP should not be in Code S, he's terrible. And that would be a stupid thing to say, considering his performance that day was the exception, not the rule. Same with SuperNova. It's so annoying how shortsighted some people are.

Because the amount someone deserves Code S should be based solely upon performance in the Up/Down matches, right? I mean, the performance in Code A means nothing, obviously.

Take into that he steamrolled everyone in Code A except for Losira and showed far better mechanics than TheBestFou who was in Code S.

I agree Supernova should probably be in code S. However, saying that he's better than the majority of the players in code S isn't really that good of an argument, seeing as there quite a few pretty bad players in code S,who definitely doesn't deserve to be there.

This. People need to consider more than just a one-off performance from players.. Super has a lot of talent that would justify his position in Code S.

I watched a lot of his Code A and he played well. But those games were for Code A. In the games for Code S qualification he played terribly yet still gets in, something just isnt right about that

Supernova should be in code S because of the following:
1.) He has a GREAT TvP. 2.) His TvT is worse than is TvP and STILL he managed to take out TheBest. Therefore, if playing a matchup that isn't his best still results in him winning up/down matches, then it's safe to say he'll be more than able to compete with code S toss players (well, maybe not MC, but you get my point?)

What's not right about it? Sounds like you just have some completely unjustified views of Code S deservation and you're struggling to make them sound remotely reasonable. Don't forget that the very Code A players that he stomped, such as Sang Ho and Alicia, are now in Code S.

I think you're mixing up good play with exciting games. Boxer definitely gave some awesome games, but his macro is pretty average, which lost him his Code S spot. It saddens me since I'm a big Boxer fan, but I'm not going to deny that he has his big weaknesses as a player.

That's not how you judge people. You judge them based off of overall results, not a single day's performance. You could watch Foxer's first match in GSL2 against BabyWeRRa and go, "Oh, man, this guy is terrible, how could he be in Code S" and ignore all his other accomplishments.
But you can judge on recent performances more than on accomplishments. Read Boxer.

Yea, but only because TheBest was so much worse than SuperNova was. And the Polt sets were also very onesdied.
I agree that they were not too interesting to watch, because they were very onesided, but I don't agree that Supernova doesn't deserve Code S because of that. The quality was quite high and there was always a lot of stuff going on all the time and he reacted very well most times, he just failed attacking patiently vs Polt.

(Hey, I'm not saying he's the best, but come on...His up and down matches were VERY well done, regardless of the fact he lost) Something just seems wrong with that =P SuperNova played really well in Code A for the most part, it's not really fair to judge a player for one bad day.
That may be true, I honestly don't vividly remember this other Code A games, but I just feel like the players that are in Code S REALLY deserve it, and sloppy play like that doesn't exist in Code S games...That's just from my opinion though, there may be some matchups that I don't watch that are so blatantly obvious there are a good few of mistakes.

He won't. If you look at the draw for this season's Code A, the losers of the Up & Down matches all got "seeded" into different sections of the bracket, so they wouldn't meet until the ro8. I assume they will do the same thing this time around.
Obviously it didn't matter much this season because some of those guys like Jookto and Legalmind were just bad and lost in the first round, but I think it's a good rule to keep for future seasons.

That's pretty entertaining game. I gotta agree well worth watching and seeing Losira hold that off was quite educational. Thou yeah he could of probly held it better but it proves it can be done even if not ideally held off.

You are running circles in your argumentation to prove a point now. SuperNova did not play good in these Up and Down matches. Period. TheBest was dissapointing bad, otherwise SuperNova would not be in Code S with the performance he displayed, despite of what he did with mid tier Code A players.
I don't see how you would argue against that.
He played brilliant in Code A, but this was not what I expect from a Code A runner up in Up and Down matches in a very easy group.

No, you need to keep your zealots alive as long as possible, they are needed to kill the spine crawler. Put them up in front and they die first; then your probes do jack against the spine crawler.

So he had a bad day; or he sucks at TvT - how can anyone say "he doesn't deserve to be in Code S" based off one night.. MVP had a terrible night but he is still gosu

Not that it would be relevant or even make sense to ask but yes
I expect him to beat two low-tier Code S players as Polt and TheBest in a convincing way when he intentionally picks them, knowing that he plays 2 TvTs. Otherwise he is just Code A material and does not need to advance.
Is that too much to ask for?

Running circles around my own argument? How so? You can try to discredit my points with vague blanket accusations, but I'd love to see you actually substantiate them.
Let me show you how to actually substantiate things.
You try to handwave SuperNova's Code A performance by calling the people he beat "mid-tier Code A players". Don't know if you're aware of this, but two of those "mid-tier code A players" happen to be in code S now. Another one exhibited nigh unstoppable PvT in the GSTL, even taking down MVP in a ridiculous macro game. I wouldn't call that "mid-tier Code A". You're not saying anything other than going, "Oh but he played badly in the Up/Down matches", which is hardly a substantial argument for being undeserving of Code S.

Except Polt showed himself to have impressively improved, and he outclassed TheBest so much that it didn't really matter if he played a bit sloppy or not. You make all these assumptions about the skill level of SuperNova's opponents to try to understate his wins or overstate his losses.

I think the games got a lot better this season, casters can't do magic if the game is boring ^^
This. But also i think that theyve been doing it for awhile now, they are bound to get better. Also their work load isnt as big, so maybe they are doing a better job because of a lower stress load

Welcome to Code A TheBest. I wish Nova could join him there.

That's not how you judge people. You judge them based off of overall results, not a single day's performance. You could watch Foxer's first match in GSL2 against BabyWeRRa and go, "Oh, man, this guy is terrible, how could he be in Code S" and ignore all his other accomplishments. But you can judge on recent performances more than on accomplishments. Read Boxer. I agree. I'd say SuperNova's code A performance counts a recent. You are running circles in your argumentation to prove a point now. SuperNova did not play good in these Up and Down matches. Period. TheBest was dissapointing bad, otherwise SuperNova would not be in Code S with the performance he displayed, despite of what he did with mid tier Code A players. I don't see how you would argue against that. He played brilliant in Code A, but this was not what I expect from a Code A runner up in Up and Down matches in a very easy group. Running circles around my own argument? How so? You can try to discredit my points with vague blanket accusations, but I'd love to see you actually substantiate them. Let me show you how to actually substantiate things. You try to handwave SuperNova's Code A performance by calling the people he beat "mid-tier Code A players". Don't know if you're aware of this, but two of those "mid-tier code A players" happen to be in code S now. Another one exhibited nigh unstoppable PvT in the GSTL, even taking down MVP in a ridiculous macro game. I wouldn't call that "mid-tier Code A". You're not saying anything other than going, "Oh but he played badly in the Up/Down matches", which is hardly a substantial argument for being undeserving of Code S.
+ Show Spoiler [For HolyArrow] +
No need to getting overly aggressive, maybe you should cool down, read what you quote, and then type, I don't want to start needless rage in here.
I said he played brilliant in Code A. That said, as you said, from 5 persons he beat, 3 are still in Code A, its not that he played creme de la creme in there, solid players, yes, but no magicians.
He deservedly got 2nd place in Code A, and is allowed to pick players.
He picks 2 Terrans that are just not good (at that point in time), knowing he has to play 2 TvTs.
Then he loses the first game he doesn't need to if he plays on the safer side, and wins the second as TheBest from the beginning refuses to want to win the game.
Hence, I am dissapointed by his performance. I expect him to show very confident TvT if he picks it. He didn't.
That said, you first criticized people for saying that SuperNova did not play good in these matches and some other players and therefor they are torn seeing him in Code S instead of others, based on these matches.
Then you say you cannot judge people on single performances.
Then I contradict you, to make clear why you can in this circumstance, and what people referred to.
Suddenly you say you can judge people on single performances.
Here you ran in circles.
For any further, PM, don't want to shit up the LR thread with personal stuff.
Nevertheless, lets enjoy some Up and Downs

So long as we keep seeing people call down mules on the long distance mineral patches, or not setting up workers so they mine on the short distance patches, I'm just going to have trouble taking SC2 seriously as a professional competitive sport ._.

yeah i dont know why koreans dont do this more, you watch almost anyone from liquid or eG (and probably more, but those are the streams i watch the most) and their first 8 workers are shared over the close 4 mineral patches. The koreans must know about it, so i have no idea why they dont do it.
I do it in my games, and you can actually SEE the difference on the resource collection chart...

Sick from Rainbow. Just took out 2 of 3 nexuses almost at the same time

thats what you do when protoss gets greedy.
abuse the strength of your unit composition.
bio is mobil, and stronger in smaller numbers than protoss units.
great play by rainbow, greedy / questionable build by banbans..

Rainbow is wrecking shit all over the map. Drops the main, snipes the nexus, when the army responds, he runs in and snipes the 2nd expo's nexus.devastating..
|
Nice to see a Terran actually drop a Protoss for a change, this is what MvP should have done instead of stimming through a choke and taking heavy losses
|
That's it for BanBans I guess...
He's so far behind now...

Rainbow is actually a RO16 - RO8 Code S player. Just ended up in stupid Up/Down matches.

banbans seems like he's having an identity crisis at the worst possible time. First he gets denied in game 1 with his failed 2gate rush, now he gets embarrassed trying to be super greedy/macro with a really fast 3rd...

I see where you're getting confused by semantics. Or, you could be nitpicking at semantics instead of merely misinterpreting them, which would be pretty lame on your part, but I'll give you the benefit of doubt. When I say single day's performance, I mean literally a single day's performance. When I say "SuperNova's Code A performance", that's a cumulative thing that better illustrates his skill level. Overall Code A performance and a single day's performance are FAR different things. One actually works for making a fairly accurate judgment of someone's skill, but the other does not.
And sure, you can turn around his Code A accomplishments by restating beating two now-code S players as also beating 3 still-Code A players, but that's just a mere restatement. It doesn't change the fact that he totally rolled someone as good as Alicia, and came close to beating someone as good as LosirA.

After that first game I'd feel pretty confident in saying Rainbow should close this out right now

they should have seeds in these up and down matches. so all our favorite players have a good chance of getting into code S, instead of having these death groups determined at random where the champs have to fight each other

Oh my, Rainbow goes for the double pronged harass again but this time Banbans completed shuts it down. His main forces stop the poke at his third, while his stalkers snipe out both medivac drops. Could be a bit of trouble for Rainbow now, though he's kept up admirably on macro despite the somewhat slower third.

rainbow spawning at 1 o clock 1 racks expansion by rainbow 2 gate expansion by banbans reaper getting a couple kills for rainbow robo going up for banbans - again the 2 base 2 gate colossi banbans setting up his 3d really fast again reaper scouts it just after it goes up rainbow moving in with 2 dropships, not dropping just yet banbans is prepared with some stalkers 3d going up for rainbow
rainbow catches banbans army slightly out of position and moves in for the 3d
banbans holds it off with his main army
rainbow tries to use his 2 dropships but fails against banbas' stalkers

Nice Drop Catch by BanBans
|
Rainbow tried to attack the third while dropping the main, didn't have time to kill anything but a pylon at the third, and lost both dropships to stalkers in the main
In the meantime, he took his third and BanBans is getting double starport
Edit : I don't think I need to do this actually, looks like someone beat me to it :p

Terran so greedy. From last game Rainbow knows that Banbans leaves Stalkers in his main, why not scan to see?

Because the scan will signal "Hey, I drop here".

Maybe because then the Toss thinks there could appear a drop?

they should have seeds in these up and down matches. so all our favorite players have a good chance of getting into code S, instead of having these death groups determined at random where the champs have to fight each other
There are seeds, first it's the top 8 of Code A, then they randomly draw the 3rd place finishers from Code S, then the 4th place finishers. The system works fine, blame the players for getting in that position

If you are distracting his main army then I highly doubt that he is paying attention for a scan in his main

Banbans with all his phoenix out of position going to town on medivacs...vikings obliterate all his colossus uncontested and the Bio mops up everything else
GG, Rainbow takes it down 2-0
|
|
|
Banbans seems like lacking on army control.
GG, Rainbow did nice there, I am surprised.
|
BanBansZenith taking map control with a Phoenix Squad.
RainBOw is ready to push now.
Both players takin an expansion.
|
banban suicided that game. Ridiculous -.-
|
well, that was quite a bad engagement from banban
|
That was confusing. Does banbans not understand how phoenix/colossus works?
|
BanBans messed up badly in that battle, Rainbow wins 2-0 ezy.
|
rainbow just nomnomnomnomed up all those banbans

banbans ggs

Glad to see ITR playing well
|
really good unit composition artosis........NOT
|
Wow, that was brutal. Well played from Rainbow, totally deserves his Code S spot.
|
If you lose games in your group phase and then lose even more in up&down matches you probably shouldn't be in Code S.
|
Wow banbans had quite a bit of time to reposition his army, but it was too late T.T
|
Wow BansBans.... that was just an awful attempt to stay Code S x.x
|
Huge battle, Phoenixes out of position = BanBansZenith GG'd.
|
worst day of banbans' life
|
That protoss did awful in that final battle. It was his game to lose.

After doing a good job denying drops and posturing for 20 minutes, vanvanth decides to engage in the worst conceivable position and get decimated...ugh. Bad games from Banbans tonight...didn't remember him being that sloppy. Maybe a bad day for him?

He looked visibly ill in the booth, wouldn't surprise me if he's suffering from some kind of bug and that's affecting his play a bit.
Man, to think it's only 2 days untill the epic finals =)

What PvT imbalance? Finally we see a good TvP. quite a relief after how poorly Terrans have been playing this MU lately in the GSL. WP Rainbow!

They mistakenly put rainbow gone down to code A and bansban stayed

Wait, was LeenockFoU the only Code A player that didn't get promoted?
Oh man, I feel so sad for him now.

Yeah, I saw. Couldn't tell if it was a "I'm actually sick" look, or an "oh my god, I'm gonna lose these matches and get sent to code A..I'm gonna be sick to my stomach/stress thing". If he was actually sick, that'd kind of make sense on him going for a quick win in game 1 vs losira.. Nobody wants to play long games when they're ill.

Poor Banban, he held off that drop, I think he was ahead but Rainbow was just better and clever. Especially in G1, I as Protoss have big problems when Terran is attacking at multiple places, because P is so immobile.

People should stop hating on Rainbow. He go to the finals in GSL1 and to RO4 in GSL2. He totally deserves to be in code S.
|
Does anyone know the remixed name of Right Here Waiting For You?
|
Rainbow showing that a terran that's actually good at tvp will always make it look hugely terran favored.
It's still by far my least favorite matchup to watch though.

To be fair banbans isn't the best protoss even though Rainbow played pretty well.

To me, it looked like "I was drinking my Gatorade and it all went into my lungs" kinda choking cuz he had just taken a sip. Could be wrong though.
If he really was sick, that's pretty damn tough luck.

It's probably more because the first group was all mirror matches and the second group saw the "OP Protoss" get rolled 4-0
|
ban ban is noobiest protoss. of course P>T, should be stalker heavy with blink + storm + colossus later.

Leenock only A'er to fail to get S. He got the absolute worst group!

I'm okay with most of the Code S players who fell to Code A except for Boxer and MVP. So sad to see those two go
|
I feel bad for the next season Code A. I mean, who is going to beat MVP (I'm speculating he played bad games and wasn't focused), I'm sure hes unhappy to be in Code A and will work hard to be back @ code S. but comon..
MVP in Code A ?
on a related note: didn't expect anything less from BanBans - while I was watching tonights match I was wondering if LosirA is friends with RainbOw and helped ensure his Code S spot. His thought processes mightve been I'm not losing to BanBans so... who can I help stay in Code S. I don't know just something I was thinking while I was watching some one sided pwnage.
grats LosirA should make an awesome splash in Code S... but srsly wtf - MVP in Code A?
|
Can we stop talking about MVP being in Code A yet? He just didn't perform well yesterday and payed the price. Expect to see him in Code S after the next season anyway. On second hand. Congrats to everyone that made it into Code S today, good to see Rainbow not drop into Code A as well.

GOOO LOSIRA!
Can't wait to see how he'll perform in Code S next season.
I always had respect for LosirA after seeing him play vs TLO in Season 1 when Zerg truly was in the dark ages.

Doubt it has anything to do with last night. Just today's lineup wasn't great.

That overall results spoiler is exactly what I needed. Much <3 op.
|
I like the addition of the overall. However, please make 3 spoilers for a bo3 match, otherwise when you click on the first, you now know the result of the second. Also, you immediately know someone got 2-0'd.

Is DonRae also a good terran? I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually want more terran action. It's the only fun mirror matchup and tvz is always interesting, unless there's late tank sieges in every game.

Glad to see ST_Rainbow made it through.
|
Surprised to see Polt Prime doing as well as he has so far. I thought Supernova and the best would have cleaned his clock. Pretty good series of up and down matches this season.
|
It appears that no one has helped SuperNova improve his tank play since his loss to Losira, he simply doesn't understand how to use tanks. His siege timing is horrible and he doesn't know how many tanks to get to compete with the opposing armies.
In TvT if you're going tank + bio and your opponent goes full out bio, you should only get around 4 tanks because you will definitely want to have around the same amount of bio as your opponent, otherwise stimmed marauders will rape your tanks. Clearly SuperNova didn't get this lesson from Trump as Polt made him look like a fool.
SuperNova's match against BestFou showed that SuperNova doesn't even know how to win a tank + bio + viking mirror match. If your opponent goes tank bio vikings just like you, you need to establish air dominance, and once you get that air dominance you need to break your opponent's tank line by slowly inching your tanks forward, only the nose of your tank should cross your opponent's tank's range.
SuperNova lost so many tanks in that match my palm almost got stuck to my face. SuperNova needs to pay Trump $50 to teach him how to TvT.

Yeah a Code S Korean needs, not even, top 100 foreigner's assistance. Did you even read this out aloud before you said it? Pretty sure the oGs coaches will tell him whats up, and regardless he probably already knows. There is a thing called nerves and people make amateur mistakes when they get them.

So glad to see Losira and Rainbow make it, I really hope Rainbow can make a comeback next season

Yeah DRG is a siiick Zerg. I've watched his stream a bunch of times and he rolls code S players no problem. I saw probably the most epic ZvT I've ever seen on his stream when he played vs Clide cross position metal.

Go to Korea and win GSL. If you can't, stfu, you are nobody to tell Supernova how to improve his TvT

Group H was so terrible -___- So fucking happy that player like banban had to come back to code A. I think I can player better than him -____-
|
Pretty straightforward games last night. No real surprises.
|
Losira was the best player in Code A last season, glad he got to move up.
Also, Polt surprised the hell out of me with how well he played. I guess I have to stop hating on him now.

Don't worry bro, I got your back.

Well it wasn't a good season for up/down matches for fOu. All of 3 of their players moved/stayed down. I'm not sure why people say they are such a strong team... they don't seem to have any notable players... but then again I haven't watched many of their code S (or recently code S) players like sC or TheBest.
Anyway... I'm glad Rainbow stayed in. I'm not really sure why, maybe just because he was consistent the first two seasons and it'd be nice to see more people who stay in code S for a long time.

It appears that no one has helped SuperNova improve his tank play since his loss to Losira, he simply doesn't understand how to use tanks. His siege timing is horrible and he doesn't know how many tanks to get to compete with the opposing armies.
In TvT if you're going tank + bio and your opponent goes full out bio, you should only get around 4 tanks because you will definitely want to have around the same amount of bio as your opponent, otherwise stimmed marauders will rape your tanks. Clearly SuperNova didn't get this lesson from Trump as Polt made him look like a fool.
SuperNova's match against BestFou showed that SuperNova doesn't even know how to win a tank + bio + viking mirror match. If your opponent goes tank bio vikings just like you, you need to establish air dominance, and once you get that air dominance you need to break your opponent's tank line by slowly inching your tanks forward, only the nose of your tank should cross your opponent's tank's range.
SuperNova lost so many tanks in that match my palm almost got stuck to my face. SuperNova needs to pay Trump $50 to teach him how to TvT. Go to Korea and win GSL. If you can't, stfu, you are nobody to tell Supernova how to improve his TvT
I'm not saying he's no good, I'm just saying he doesn't know how to use tanks. His excellent macro and good harass makes up for it but it'd only take him so far. If he learns how to use tanks he'd be nearly unstoppable.

11 correct liquibets in a row, let's finish out this Season strong.
Also, grats to everyone who moved onto Code S. I thought this system was the most unintuitive thing on earth at first, but it just seems fantastic now.

really happy vanvan is out of code s, i simply don't think he deserved to be there, much like choya. before someone accuses me of saying i hate on toss i'm a toss player, i just think those two are simply not code s, or maybe even code a material. the games w/ losira/vanvan were pretty interesting to say the least :D
really happy for rainbow too, he really needs a chance to show us if he can play as well as he used to, i have faith in the guy <3

7 out of 8 code A players advanced to code S?
Am I right?
Only Leenock comes to mind of code A players not making it.

Yes that's right, Leenock just got unlucky and got Nestea and MKP.
The code A players this season are pretty good, looking forward seeing Code S matches for next GSL

Does anyone know where the Liquibet for these matches went? They seem to have disappeared after the TSL and GSTL votes went up.

New Liquibet season. You can check your rank in the last one by clicking the links in the new Liquibet's threads.

Poor zergies are now the under represented race with Protoss edging up there hehe.. Some good names in there, should be an interesting season.
Surprised in a good way that Rainbow made it back up there; hopefully he can put on a good show in Code S.. Obviously amazing to see HuK in there, not convinced he will last long after watching his games verse Losira; he most certainly has the potential - he just has to bring it out on the day..
MKP for GSL May Championeh!

what the HELL was banbanzenith doing in the first game vs losira?
he literally tossed the game away the moment his first zealot got "scared" off by 8 drones allowing losira to buy time to make lings + mine minerals... i guess he didnt get the memo that zealot can tank and OWN drones ... and he also forgot he had a probe there to prevent a complete surround as well
after he backed off and waited for the second zealot, his zealot was attacking the POOL .. WOW?!?
you've already cut probe production, what else do you need to micro/macro in that game?
such a utter failure it was worse than watching a platinum player
and game 2? making a nexus when his probe scouts that the zerg is going 1-base all in? really? not cancelling the nexus when u could make 2 more cannons and win the game?
just mind boggling ...

I disagree about Choya. Choya may have often employed rather cheesy play, but he also showed instances of great, intelligent play, such as in his match against HuK. TBH Choya outplayed HuK for the most part in that series IMO. And we can't forget about how he knocked out MVP (though MVP played pretty badly) and had a great Bo5 series against Jinro in previous seasons.

Nothing much to say about todays games, they were kinda boring.
Losira going through convincingly.
|
thx to the OP for this Thread I can Only watch the Vods very latish and I like to read the LR Thread inbetween the Games to read up some other Reactions.
to the actual Games were very "meh"
what saved the Day again were Tastosis couple of good ones I remembered
"while Banshee Missle exploded when Banshee was killed"
SCV sees its Live Flash before its Eyes, ... Its all Mining rofl
or SuperNoVa getting Angry he takes out a whole Solar System
shocked that Polt beat SuperNoVa.
I feel like SuperNoVa was tanking too hard, constant production out of 2 Factories doesnt fare well against pure Bio+Medivac also Polt pult godly Sandwitches.
Losira advances to Code S again Awesome he deserves it. Now I am Only sad about Leenock when will this guy get a Break from his bad Luck with his Opponents next you know he will have to go against IMmvp i am gonna Scream then. Leenock deserves to go to Code S so badly.
