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! |
So this thread is now actually about how Zerg will soon be OP with mass Infestor use. I'm down for that :D

Being a Zerg player, and after watching these games and knowing there won't be anymore zerg in the TSL, I just feel like putting on some pajamas and an undershirt, and watching a Sandra Bullock movie while eating from a tub of ice cream. : (

Amen. Also great to see how well Mondragon took it. I really want to see him in some more tournaments. He is just so much fun to watch

Thank you for posting this and sadly this will be lost amongst all this rage going on in this thread. Again we see the player who lost not be upset about why they lost but understand what he has to do next time. Sadly fans of those players always feel the need to crusade like its a Shield law.

It's been trhilling, dissapointing, and many times really really awesome! That's all due to my subjectivity. This last series, between Cruncher and Mondragon was just very very good. Especially from Mondragon. He was everywhere, intelligently making air kinda useless with his focus on ground units. imressive and entertaining and really skilled play. I really rooted for him, I still have the impression or illusion that the zergs are underdogs right now, I also have a bias towards IdrA, so it was not really a question.
And overall the series was really good, with all kinds of games, but also, for me, dissapointing It really felt like Mondragon here deserved a win. My dream would been a final between Tyler and Mondragon, I think many agree that would have been just phenomenal.
I don't really know my point, so sorry, I think I lost it, just very emotional at the end of game for, made me wanna write it down. trying not to scream or punch you know. and also, I know I don't have the mechanics or skill to truly judge the games, I only know what I saw, and I don't really know If I can trust my own judgment.
It was good games, just left a bitter taste of unfairness.
(Yay first post, although been reading for years (I think) hardcore lurker but afraid of writing posts ))
THANKS for the beautiful show Team Liquid! TSL3 is the best

And "innovative" style is going each game stargate into void/collo? Yeah very innovative.. He went Voidray Colossus two games, Cannon rush and then finally Phoenix/Stalker/High Templar the final. You can't honestly say that Mondragon played better than Cruncher the last game, it is getting to incredible levels of pettiness if you think balance was the reason why Mondragon last the final game.
I can guarantee you that he was planning to go void/collo in all games. He went cannon rush in G3 because he knows that it's impossible to defend going hatch first and on Tal darim there is no good place got get expansion because there is rocks on 3rd. On G4 Mondragon went mutas because he knew cruncher is doing same old thing each game, but his mutas was scouted and cruncher just went into phoenixes -> blink -> storms.

I love Mondragon. While so many of his fans spew hatred at Cruncher and whine that protoss is unbeatable, Mondragon congradulates Cruncher on a game well played and confidently comes up with new strategies to use against toss.

It's sad to see no zergs left..maybe they need to pick their games up a bit to contend? Are you trolling? The likelihood that all of the zerg players who tried to qualify for TSL just need to "step up their games" is pretty low, statistically; that would require that all of the high-level zergs are slackers for some mysterious reason. Or are you saying that there's just something about the zerg race that makes players who select it play poorly? I said the better play won today, which was clearly CrunCher. I also said for zerg players to pick up their game. I'm not going to get into some stupid imba debate. If Blizzard finds zerg underpowered, changes will be made. Until then, zerg players need to pick up their game and play to win, just like CrunCher did today.
And I'm not saying anything about imbalance. I'm saying that you are claiming that all of the zerg players in the world are mysteriously just "not picking up their game".
The odds of this being true -- that all of the zergs in the world have mysteriously decided to not practice/start sucking -- are VERY, VERY LOW.
And, if Blizzard finds zerg underpowered, they'll probably change the bunker build time again.

I'll believe Mondi has the "solution" when I see him winning tournaments.

You either believe in Mondragon or you don't. I never saw him play BW so I don't really, but if you were expecting him to win this series you should be taking him seriously.

Well these games were played pretty close to patch 1.3 and the infestor buff weren't they? Maybe Mondragon didn't have enough time to adapt. And he's had 2 weeks since these games to play with infestors vs Protoss deathballs.

Especially when it comes to figuring things out.
Well, he implied it after seeing the last games. Remember how terribly mondragon played on metalopolis? gee, he sure improved alot after back then, 15 minutes ago

Must say, I'm liking Mondragon's attitude. He doesn't seem to have the jaded perspective that other Zergs have, but that might just be because he's still learning SC 2. Either way, looking forward to him in the future.

Kinda like what a pitcher would need to get a final out in the 9th inning, or a basketball player to hit a game winning shot. There are tons of great zerg players, but none of them are "finishing" in TSL3.
