Then he went to loose almost all engagements and his most critical expansions Than he turns twoards Boxer and kills him. Yes the first game it was obviously a mistake on boxer loosing a third of his army and that cost him the game, but i really feel Boxer outplayed Hasu in the 2nd and 3th game and lost anyways. I am disapointed from todays matches Still, grats on Hasu on getting so far, and as a European myself Im glad the top 4 shows the might of europe in esports | ||

But Thorzaine and Kas showed the way, basically you slightly overmake vikings, engage with your whole army, and kite back with your MMM while the vikings melt the collosi. Once the collosi are down you move in to clean up the gateway (landing vikings if helpful). | ||

The easiest way to do so is chosing someone by either the players location or his race. As a starcraft fan, nationality or race doesn't matter to me; all I care about is the player's SKILL. edit, removed useless rant | ||

On April 25 2011 06:12 Fungal Growth wrote: Do think we are seeing somewhat antiquated tactics from Boxer. Marauders are good early/mid game units but not late game when toss catches up on tech and has AOE units out. What's the counter to this? Not tanks...their splash is ineffective vs the fatter stalkers who don't clump nor for the squirrely zealots who don't stay together like say marines. Key is Thors with blue flamers and marines as minerals sinks. Thors > Colossi Thors could care less about HT's and AOE units in general Thors < Chargelots...but blue flamers >>> chargelots Thors > Stalkers Thors < Immortals ...but strike cannons >> immortals Thors > Phoenix Thors < Voids...but just a few vikings >>> voids I predict this will be the future for terran vs toss in macro maps... Early pressure hellion/rine to bank time for the Thors to be produced...then once a critical mass of thors completes send in a thor army with SCV train to win the game (intermixed with hellion harassment of protoss expansions during the mid-late game). With the money saved from not producing so many dropshops, vikings (thors will take out colossi) and racks/engineering bay upgrades, terran can put their money into vehicle weapons and armor which are very sick upgrades. Not sure how you would safely transition from enough marauders to fend off a 2 base toss to a critical mass amount of thors though... not sure if it can be done | ||

Yeah he did some great sytuff esp with the ghosts, but every time faced an unbeatable protoss deathball.. | ||

I mean how easy do you think it is to have to play in front of a live audience and on TV for the very first time (which was the case for most of those guys that went to GSL). Give them the same experience as all the Korean players and things will even out. And it`s not like they went there and did not win a match. So the reason why nestea lost to goody/mvp lost to adelscott/mc to kas was because they were comfortably playing from their houses and ergo the better player between them had to win, which means that ALL (roflcopter) of them have nerve problems and could win GSL tournaments/dreamhack/Copenhagen if only they hadn't, makes perfect sense.  | ||

There are plenty of Master level players who are advocating the use of these three units yet we still see Terrans continuing to solely produce a mid game army at 20 minutes+. What's the point of sitting on 3k minerals/gas and not spending any of it? | ||

I didn't realize it was that one-sided. Maybe that was the result of a lot of hopeful fanboys. =P (Or the fact that Hasu was relatively unknown outside of Europe, and especially Germany.) I voted for HuK, but if anybody had asked me I'd have said that it was far from a sure thing. Without my Canadian bias, perhaps I would have voted for Hasu. | ||

No doubt that some wc3 players in it are doing well, but the BW players always win it. | ||

Thors was it, let me tell you how much they blow | ||
