Blind? he scouted a terran fast expand on close position, his build beats that...

Wow! Yeah!

He lost his army and just dropped the game ><

GG timing? Idra GG's? Huh


I meant that Cloud's GG timing is even faster than IdrA's.

the positive thoughts from the future were too much for cloud to handle. It's funny but unfortunate. Everything that could have gone wrong for Cloud did that game.


It almost looked like Cloud didn't understand the match-up during that game. Like he didn't know what banelings were or something.

That was pretty stupid from Cloud. He know there are infestors out and he clumps all his marines into one big "please fungal us now" ball.


there's nothing you can do against muta/ling/infestor/broodlord without vikings, tbh. it was over regardless of how he microd


He could absolutely have spread his marines manually. This is why I don't get the "It's just better to deathball in SC2" attitude.


You could but you have to focus fire the Broods, and not just with 1-2 marines but with a whole group of marines. This tends to clump them back up.


That's the tendency, yes. My point is that with better manual control he could have kept them spread while focusing the broods and taken minimal damage from fungals. I'm not saying this is the level every player is or should be at right now, but I wanted to point this out because things like this are where the game should be eventually and there are a large number of people here who believe that deathballing is just more viable than small manually controlled groups in SC2, and I think that situation was evidence to the contrary.


here's one problem you have to think about though: speedlings are at their most effective when marines are split (ie no deathball), so you're sorta in a ctach-22 as terran in that situation.

split your marines and avoid some huge fungals, but get flooded by speedlings
don't split your marines, and be able to stutter step against speedlings, but get fungal'd instead.

the only answer is to have vikings, honestly.
dont ever say that

Even though we've never (rarely?) seen IdrA do an all-in in a televised match, he's a great player. And like all great players he does anything that is required to win. It's just that he usually thinks that the best chance of him winning is to play a macro game. It'd be pretty stupid for IdrA to do that given what he saw in that game though. So, he all-in'd.
Even during difficult times, when I sat down to play the game, there were times where it felt like god has descended down and played [for me].

Can only hope this series between boxer and sen is as amazing as last time they played. Hard to cheer for one player over the other, just need more awesome games.

Isn't the possibility of close spawns something you would want to prepare for are a progamer? Or do pros not prepare much for NASL games?


Most higher-end tournaments have modified maps where close-position isn't possible (ex. MLG, TSL)


I know. But Cloud decided to find out after the game started. If you were preparing for a match, you would find out beforehand, and wouldn't need to ask in chat. I don't see how Cloud could have prepared for this match if he didn't know that. NASL must not be very important to him. But a lot of players are doing this, so either progamers don't actually prepare builds for specific maps/matchups or they do, but just not for NASL.

I wouldn't call it entirely blind. Early aggression with banelings tends to do pretty well against an FE terran who doesn't hardcore turtle with siege tanks.

Cloud decided to coin flip basically. He didn't scout, he didn't scan, he lifted his barracks back into his base as soon as the normal (ie Morrow) baneling bust timing was over and went out with an army that would've died to any kind of mass ling/baneling play. Yeah... Not very impressed there. Still, Idra played well and made the right decisions, though I would've liked to see what would have happened had Cloud not basically handed that game on a platter.
