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.

I'm happy Idra won this series. Socke winning with two 5 gate nexus cancel in a bo3 would have been kinda ridiculous... Horrible response to Idra's drop by him in game 2 as well.
Mutation complete.

actually, on his stream, IdrA does this a lot, it absolutely destroys 3 gate sentry expands without perfect forcefields/protection of cannons/warping in right units. I doubt whether IdrA was looking ahead to a nexus cancel, but just to punish a 3 gate expand.

NASL has terrible commercial timings. Just turned on my adblock after "trying" to support esports.

So Zerg can both expand AND outproduce a 5 gate Protoss? How does that work? I die to this on ladder all the time. All they have to do is make some roaches and my 5 gate dies. I only win when they expand a 3rd time


Well, looking at the zerg, the 2nd hatchery can be used for straight up production, which is what happened that game. He got the expo, got a few drones, and then started powering units. The protoss's play involved delaying the 4th and 5th warp gates to try and trick the opponent into thinking it was an expansion build.

One player committed to an all-in, the other did a cutesy trickery all-in.


Yea but the Zerg also had 4 more harvesters and a ton of minerals. He could have even put down a 3rd hatch.

For everyone with significant lag issues: see this topic. It has a whole bunch of suggestions and also has a place for you to list your system specs so he/jtv can try to figure out the problem.

Anyone else having an issue where the ad plays, then afterwards the sound is muted (or rather, the sound controls on the player still say it's at max, but there's no sound), and you have to tweak the volume in the player (just click it up or down) and suddenly sound comes back?

All 3 games were a 100% dice roll.

How is that enjoyable?


That's starcraft(2).. dice rolls are suspenseful, and therefore exciting.

Craps is pretty exciting as well!

set up two streams

one with adblock and one without. mute the stream without adblock and put it on 240.

This was in no way a blind counter - seeing the expand build tells him that his opponent is either doing a 5 gate all in or a standard 3 gate expand. Zerg can stop producing fighting units and start producing drones at any time, and he had the extra minerals to do so (as people saw).

If, when his lings got there, he saw a completed nexus, he could back off and produce a bunch of drones. He's safe against light aggression as he has a small standing army. The extra minerals can become another base, and he can safely pump drones.

I really think that IdrA had the right idea there - he isn't that far behind if it fails, as he can stop building units. Unlike a Terran or Protoss, the production economy transfers nicely into workers.

Then again, this is just my opinion, so I'll happily be overwritten by more experienced players if they have one.
I first realized Immortals were reincarnated Dragoons when I saw them dancing helplessly behind my Stalkers.

This is true. But I think if the Protoss had played a little bit more standard with extra sentries, as well as cannons after throwing down the forge, he would have been okay economically and defensively. Who knows though.

It must be so hard for you, having to hold esports on your shoulders like Atlas himself, and missing 30 seconds of an interview. Kind of a dick move that you deny them income just because they put up an ad at an inconvenient time.

blind countering an all in by another all in...

how can Sockes all-in be lame, and Idras awesome?

Blind fanboyism. Socke could've done a 6-pronged attack off of 8 bases, and people would still be saying it was noobish all in play.


Heh I agree that there is a lot of blind IdrA fanboyism in this thread, but seriously? Socke did the incredibly cheesy 5-gate Nexus Cancel attack 2 games in a Bo3. The guy obviously either wanted to piss off IdrA or just really did not want to play a macro game.

The Hydra drop was sort of an all-in, but if Socke had been paying attention to his Probes he could have easily stopped it. Nothing even remotely close to getting your ramp FF'd and subsequently losing the game.

Regardless, a great series that was exciting from start to finish. Not all ZvP's have to be giant, 30 minute macro games.
