Its time to enjoy the matches, keep the whining out of this thread. GL HF!
Also, don't reply to the whining and ignore it: have faith in the mods, we read every post and act swiftly. You're making it worse. Enjoy!

WoW,,what a game,,excellent defense by Cruncher and impressive harras by Mondragon.

losing 3 nexus isnt excellent defense.


Maybe not excellent but he still did a good job,,,,his macro however was excellent.
Hey, I also vote for Mondragon but I respect Cruncher for playing well in that game.

Bull fucking shit. Mondragon ate him alive all game and Cruncher still got to a-move a durpball. Get a fucking clue.


maybe when the replay is released we can look at how much resources were lost in units/buildings up to the point when cruncher won. then we will know who needs to "get a fucking clue".

the map is just a hard map for zerg to win, it's a hard map for mondragon to do what he was trying to do.



Good defensive play is kind of easy to have when you cannon like combat EX ^_^

People need to give Crunchie some cred though, his play is pretty solid.

Interestingly, people somehow think it's hard to mass Roaches and drop with Overlords constantly, while defending at 3 points at once while still sustaining a fat army does not take any skill whatsoever. Yes he did damage, but he also threw away SO much minerals/gas while not having a much better economy that it's pretty clear he would not have the army in the end to actually defeat Cruncher...

I mean, dropping WHILE being attacked by Phoenix / Void Ray and awaited by Stalkers can hardly be called genius play, right? I'm puzzled by the rage of some people, I would like to see the 'Resources Lost' tab of that previous game, or rather the value of units lost, as Cruncher did lost some buildings but hardly any units. In the end he just had a superior army...

Okay, I'm not whining, this is an honest question about the description of Cruncher! I haven't seen ALL of his games, though I've seen quite a few, and to say he plays an unpredictable style, isn't that wrong? I mean, he's pretty predictable. He does have other qualities that would describe his play better. Just saying :- ).

I don't mean it as whine or being mean towards Cruncher, I just feel its like writing Idra loving to rush.


As this doesn't seem like a blatant whine I'll respond, what the eff do you expect Cruncher to do whilst defending against multi base harassment?

Nah his defensive play was extremely terribad, he suffered of one control group syndrom the entire game, never split his army to deal with the multi-proned attack.

Entertaining game but Cruncher deserved to win, he was regularly ahead in workers and Mondragon committed A LOT into his harassment and drops.

Indeed.
If the same game would have been played by WhiteRa, everybody would have congratulated to his great game.

It is just sad that people can not view games with the slightest touch of objectivity.

Youre too far behind on upgrades to make muta viable.

Question to the thread: what could Mondragon have done in that game to take the win. My two criticisms are:

1) Some of the drops were pretty cost-inefficient. Losing fully-loaded ovies hurts
2) Massing mutas instead of corruptors when Cruncher was just on collossi/voidray

To anyone saying Cruncher's defence was impressive... he built 8 cannons at his third (and a tonne at his 4th which he lost anyway as well). I can defend as well as Cruncher in that case...

PS Cruncher to take this game too. Another easy 3-base turtle.

I'm not going to complain PvZ balance, however I AM going to complain about Zerg units. Mutas are terrible vs Void Rays since Stalkers tear them apart. Corrupters are terrible against Void Rays because they're Corrupters, but Corrupters are the best choice against Colli. Ultra's are basically worthless, and Brood Wars are even more useless since they are the slowest shit next to a sieged siege tank and does not fit with the mobile zerg persona. Zerg needs something to transition into other than Corrupter/Roach/Hydra. It would be like if Protoss' tech tree stopped at Zealot/Stalker/Sentry/HT and those were the only units they could ever use. It would be horrible and they would be torn apart by Zerg. It's the same shit. Zerg needs a tech to go into for late game.

Sorry for balance complaining mods, I just can't fucking help it. I'm pissed.

you post as if they are amenable to reason


The stupid balance whine is so infuriating, especially after the preemptive note from mods. I'm hoping to see plenty of temp bans for this.

Win or Lose.

Mondragon is taking all zergs to school, and teaching them how its done.

Really, beautiful play by Mondragon.

Every zerg should be inspired, really good use of his army. Not the "well imma rush to 200 food and fight the protoss 200 food, and call it imba." !!

Go go mondi!
The road to success is dotted with many tempting parking places.

Old Shakuras really is protoss favoured in pvz imo as a protoss player. The new version is better because you cant just turtle on 3 bases.
I still think Mondi can win this series. He showed he has the skills.


To be entirely fair, the unit composition that Cruncher had would have defended on the shak just as well as on the old shak. The voids and collossi can just bypass the terrain that makes the new shakuras more difficult to defend a top/bottom 3rd on.

In the end I feel that the inefficiency of and relative high cost of the drops really put mondragon on even footing if not behind for most of that game.
