I don't think Adel's decision was that bad actually. He just executed it badly. The idea was probably to sacrifice his third, force field his ramp and trap the terran army in a bad position. Then go back and steamroll Kas when he had no army. He just failed to capture his army and didn't consider the possibility of that drop.

Wasn't a good decision, but definetly not a terrible one either.

Adelscott I think fluked his way to the RO8. He makes rudimentary mistakes, whether it be multi-tasking, macroing, or decision making, but no one knew how to beat his mass gateway style before except for thorzain, but he's on the other side of the bracket. Kas presses Adelscott in every game, forces him to make those mistakes.


You don't fluke your way into the RO8 in one of the most stacked SC2 tournaments to date. That's the silliest thing I've ever heard.

By turning around he losses 10 times out of 10, at least by base trading he has a chance.

Kas can only win by base trading. zzzzzzz


you mean only win by having better macro, harass, upgrades, unit composition and decision making? I thought so.

His unit control was superior too.

Yeah, that 2 wounded marauders + medivac drop at adel's high ground natural left me speechless. He killed like 5 probes and 2 free stalkers without taking any real damage.

Adel definitely didn't play his best lol. Floating 1.8 k minerals and had complete map control, yet didn't get that 3rd for 4 minutes wtf O-o


Adel is often up at 1k minerals. If he can improve his macro he'll be one scary player. Not that getting to the Ro8 in the TSL is a non-scary thing to have achieved.

If youre keeping your gateways synced you should be around that before you make the next production cycle though.

Adelscott having 2k with only 5 gateways is just plain bad multi task.
Personally i think Artosis is giving him too much credit

no way was that the right decision. He was all the way in the terrans base already...it wasn't even a hard choice.


So many stalkers kill production before it flies away

I don't think Adelscott is a fluke, there's a lot to be said for creative playstyles.

They are both 100% losses. You lose when your army is caught so badly out of position. The rest is just dotting the i's.

This Europe vs Korea thing will get settled once we have Naniwa vs MC and Kas vs MVP in a bo7.. I put my money on the europeans.. that is unless the truly top talented koreans stop playing SC1 and move to SC2.

Was he seriously suggesting Adelscott should base trade there with no air?

If you aren't planning on basetrading, don't sit in front of the Terran's empty base while their army is on the map.

Thats not what happened

Adelscott's not that bad of a player... It's just his multitasked macro that's subpar. But his starting build order is really solid.

I don't under when toss goes mass zealots and sentries late game... Zealots just don't work with forcefields unless the terran is in all out retreat. Gas on sentries would have much better been spent on forge upgrades or storm.

0_o Yes you can, if you have stalkers.

Stalkers can fly now?


What?

You can't base trade with a Terran unless you have flying units.

of course you can, as long as you have enough probes/mins to get another base up, which adel could have done easily.
remember not to think too much and your trip will be numbingly pleasant

This. Way too many people criticizing amazing players like adel and being too stupid to understand what the reasoning behind the decision actually was.

Everything Artosis says is so calculated and observed. That's the real difference between him and people like Husky who simply talk quickly and make jokes while they talk about what they see.
