Okay guys.

This could not be more wrong. In fact its the EXACT opposite on Teamliquid. There is such a strong Zerg bias its crazy. Everyone is calling this series exciting and all that, but in reality it was just a zerg using two 2 base timing pushes against a greedy Terran. Boring and unexciting, there was no difference between these type of games and the one MC just played in the GSL finals yet those were considered dull games?

Why is early aggression as a zerg considered newbie play? Terrans and toss do it every game. I think it's good for the game to have all three races being capable of early aggression.

WHY should it be Coinflip if the Zerg can do it in RESPONSE to an FE ?

I don't understand.

what are you talking about, it's 1-1

Tyler beat Strelok


Hasu beat Huk, MorroW beat Jinro

I love Jinro man, but it's ridiculous to see people being disparaging towards MorroW for baneling busting a CC first build twice. If you've ever watched MorroW you will know that his macro games are typically his main strength; he's incorporated this July-esque aggression to his game because he is smart enough to adapt his play to current trends, and he used it in textbook fashion to punish greedy builds from his opponent today.

I know for some people these upsets spoiled a bit of their fun, but I have to say for me this was an absolutely amazing day of play, incredibly exciting with some great games, can't wait until next weekend!


Agreed

completely agree. morrow really played and executed those busts well. i thought jinro would adapt better though..

This has to be the first time some of you watched him play.

IMO he has the sickest macro in Europe hands down.


This. I don't think I've seen him baneling bust before.

I think people should realize that game 3 of HasuObs vs HuK was not a build order win, well it certainly was partly. HasuObs distracted the zealot of HuK with his initial scoutingprobe and did send a 2nd probe which build the pylon.

Thats the reason the 4 gate worked - it was brilliant play and simply outsmarted by HasuObs - not a simple build order win.

I disagree Carlo. Obviously its insanely strong since its a strategy that deals damage no matter what, but on the first hand its something that is scoutable and on the other hand it was JinrO's fault. He went command center first without any attempt on scanning what MorroW does nor did he build 1 or even 2 bunkers which you can easily do without being behind.

He even used the barracks in front to upgrade stim - which he could change and use a barracks in the back to upgrade stimpack. Rushing to medivacs is far inferior even though it gives you drop ability than rushing to hellions or tanks. MorroW did simply abuse the lack of scouting and went for an aggressive build which can lead to a quick win or loss - but in a tournament like TSL you also have to cut corners. In game 2 he was behind due to the bunkerrush and didn't even allin banelingbust - he tried to kind of equal the game out but pulled back when he saw it won't work.

So I totally understand that you are saying its a super strong strategy, but its by no means a coinflip because you can actually scout it without being behind.

Dont see much wisdom in that quote. The better player takes the opportunity to win when it presents itself to said player. MorroW saw a chance and went for it. Sheesh. Think about it.

Baneling is just a powerful unit, it's like saying that Jinro is abusive for using marines. In the second game that what morrow did is hardly called baneling bust, he just used the units game gave him, like jinro abused that rocks and stuff. As I see MorroW played good and punished Jinro for doing that build. Why would he stay back and macro if you can win asap, this makes no sense.

I don't understand.

Because FE is the only thing you can do right now against zerg. 1 base openings except 2 rax into cc simply don't work anymore because of the bigger maps and zerg players getting better at managing larva.
