Yesterday's broadcast has had its issues. We all saw it. There are 10+ pages of whining. There is an entirely new cast going on now. Please keep whining about issues experienced yesterday to yourself going forward in the thread and allow other people to enjoy the games.

Anybody can look at results for a tournament pretty easily by looking at match histories.

so frustrating hearing gretorp be like " idra fell right into his hands" when he scouted it at the first possible moment he could have and it cancelled everything and put down 4 spines and started spamming units. what else could he have done.
if he didnt take the fast third he wouldv lost the macro game.


not expand, how can you say otherwise. the way you say it assumes the build order socke did was unstoppable for any zerg.

You are smart, how can the zerg tell how many sentries there are in protoss main ?

But Socke didn't cheese like MC...
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

Any player with 50 apm can execute that build and win against pro's. Idra should have used his drones though, would maby have hold it then.

Prove it please, it's harder than it looks...

Not sure how that build is harder than it looks. From what I saw, Socke literally just did a build order without really scouting at all, and then at the moment he canceled his Nexus, he A-moved and won. You could easily train someone to do that - there was little game knowledge or intuition used; it's just an MC copycat build.

I don't think many would gg in that situation. Such a depressing play.

Well the strategy was a success, and the execution was good, so in my opinion Socke deserved a GG


I agree, everyone else gg's even if they get cannon'd rush.

The extra 2 gateways only came online when the nexus was cancelled. Until he cancelled the nexus, Socke had exactly the same army composition as a standard 3gate expand. The only way to scout this build is to get inside the Protoss player's base and see the additional gateways.


Yes, and it's not like Socke had to all-in just because he built those gateways, either, he could let them and the nexus finish, or let the nexus finish and cancel 1-2 gates.

Tournaments use guest/smurf accounts, I think? TSL does, at least.

Normal 3 gate expand has about 6-7 sentries in it otherwise it dies to mass speedling. The same very speedling you need to defend 4 gate.

We won't see another Sen vs BoxeR :/


Yeah specially since Boxers game is based heavily on micro and unit control. He isnt really known for his macro. Poor boxer i feel bad for him.


Lately Boxer's macro has improved tremendously though. knowing he will be playing with lag, he will most likely rely more on macro builds and attempt to win through sheer numbers.

Decided to use chrome today to "help esports" and I think NASL really needs to fix their ads to NOT interfere with actually commentary/gameplay. Commercials don't start until like 15 seconds after the "break" occurs. When the stream comes back on, the players are already in the game. Disappointing

Its unfortunate that people need to do that. NASL should look into doing what the TSL does with their games.

The stalker as second unit, that was probably warped in to kill scout overlord, could have been a hint. Not sure there though.

Also Idra could play more safe. Later 3rd hatch, build spine crawler in advance.

Omg will someone tell them that you can't say "he's going to have a lot of ambiguity"? It actually breaks my brain a little bit every time Gretorp uses that word... You'd think for a word you say 10 times per cast you'd figure out how to use it ffs
