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! |

You don't go hydra against high templar.

TSL was awesome until I had no one to root for :/

I feel like Mondi should have harassed with his Mutas way earlier. He had 11 when there were only 4 phoenix out. Cruncher was teching way further down the line than Mondi, of course if it got to late game Cruncher was gonna win it

Sigh. Biased fanboyism.
The better player always wins. Today, Cruncher was the better player.

And again Protoss players winning and last Zerg player in tournament losing.. surprise. CrunCher getting roflstomped by NaNiwa for sure

Even after the massive buff it's so so sooo rare to seem them used. I just don't get it ._. They're really expensive and fungal doesn't do storm-levels of damage, so they're kinda ignored. A lot of players are more worried about not dying instantly to the Protoss push rather than investing into the future.

Although I'm a protoss, I gotta ask: what could Mondragon do better in the last game? It seems to me that he played very well. Maybe get some infestors with that 1.7K gas, commit less to mutalisks against blink stalker/HT. There's plenty of things that he could do better. HT hard counter infestors. you know that right? Just like HT blink stalker and pheonix all counter mutalisk but that didn't stop him from making them

Man, that last game Mon tried so hard to abuse Protoss immobility but P just made cannons and easily defended every move that Mon tried to make. It was really hard to see P just defending and defending until Mon ran out of units. Even if he had switched to Broodlords, they wouldn't have done enough damage against Blink Stalkers and VRs.

Either you're a troll, or we were watching a different game. Cruncher in NO way outplayed mondragon in game 2.

Mondragon played well for someone who doesn't practice all that much, but Cruncher, the last remaining NA player, takes the series and preserves a spot for NA in the Ro8.
Of the remaining players in TSL 3, 2 are Korean, 5 are ex-WC 3 players, and 1 is from BW.
Koreans are a different species, they didn't played neither w3 nor bw.

Right, right, I meant that, said Dreamhack for some reason instead.

Their target priority is so high that then instantly die and they are so damn expensive just to lose them constantly all game and keep having to replace them, and yes even with the buff they still arent good.

Entertaining series though I was hoping Mondragon would win. I didn't like the cannon rush game but you gotta do what you gotta do in a tournament, can't hate for that.
I just really don't know what you do in that situation against that unit composition that Cruncher had in game 3. Cruncher just had so many stalkers and they never, ever seemed to die. Then add in phoenixes to wipe out the mutas, void rays being a pain and of course those high templars and the deadly storms.
I just don't know what you do in that situation, someone smarter than me probably does but I'm stumped. Disheartening to see no zergs left in the TSL3 but such is life.
Congrats to Cruncher on the win.

Well with all the P still in the TSL I hope we get some entertaining games - no cannon rushing and 4gate pl0x?

Yesterday, Morrow built a bunch against Hasuobs. Occasionally fungal helped, but there was a rather ridiculous moment when about 8 of them died in two seconds to feedback.

"EXCESSIVE MANNER" yeah, I noticed taht too xD
|
Ulras/Infestors could have helped Mondi. :3 Great manner from him!
