He was a hero in SC1 but that doesn't mean he's better than your average Code A Terran in SC2. That and I don't want a Korean to win the TSL with the foreigner domination we've seen so far. I have to admit severely underestimating HasuObs before the start of this match and at the moment I find it very unlikely Boxer wins the next 3 games. I'm not yet cheering for HasuObs just yet but at least I'm not rooting against him anymore if that makes you feel good  | ||

Boxer made a horrible decision going for an expo while Hasuobs made a great decision going for a base trade and Boxer's production buildings. Yes every race has late game advantages. What is your point? You have to plan against the strengths of the race you are playing against. | ||

1) Reinforcement distance means that early pressures are difficult and we don't have to fight nasty small battles. We can fight midsized ones which come down to micro wars and smart FF. 2) Toss army sucks up gas like nothing else. We get the most benefit from feing imo as it allows us to accelerate tech. | ||

And since alot of tosses still are behind on upgrades, when they get 3/3 it's a relative improvement. | ||

If he fails to drop, he just expands.Maxes a huge army with 3 ghosts and emps. I can not see him win against protoss unless he plays a different style. i wonder if boxer will drop this time with 2 medivacs | ||

He won it because Boxer made a horrible decision when he had a massive advantage, then overstimmed like hell to get back, which let his army get oneshot. Boxer lost that game when Hasu got to his natural and boxer was in red health on all his maras. That's before Hasu got to reinforce with the warp gates, so please stop whining about it. Pretty much... Cmon guys, not the greatest play by BoxeR. | ||

It's best to shave down your composition to something simple and effective, rather than having "ideal" compositions to counter every single unit in the protoss army. Unfortunately, boxer lost because he decided to counter Hasu's expansion and ended up losing his entire base. Unfortunately, I have to agree, while boxer lost because of his positioning, the Warp gate mechanics seem kind of broken late game. On massive maps like this, and powerful drop-counters with blink stalkers, it's very hard to avoid the protoss deathball. Ravens also mean a lot less marines/marauders/medivacs/vikings that you want to counter the colossus two-shotting, 4-shotting groups of marauders, and in a group of 4-5, each volley reduces your numbers drastically. PDD, is not going to stop that. Not to take away from Hasu's victory of course. | ||
