Really came down to Spanishiwa's reaction to TLO's fast expand, and TLO was seemingly caught unprepared against the Evo Chamber rush. This was in no way a cheese. It was a smart reaction by Spanishiwa, and he also expanded so it wasn't even an all-in. Second and Third games + Show Spoiler + Came down to Spanishiwa's masterful burrow harass. Things like Burrow and Nydus harass are so underused at the pro level, a lot of the pro players just aren't ready for it. And this isn't some kind of opening you need to prepare for, this is about practice against a style of play which very few zergs have mastered. What I expect to see in the next games: More Nydus play to mix up Spanishiwa's harassment pattern, and some of TLO's masterful Ghost plays to shut down Spanishiwa's Brood Lord+Queen combination lategame. | ||

Calling TLO a bad player who doesn't improve in a pretty blunt way is neither, therefor they are somewhat BM (though sadly not the worst we see on forums these days). People can think whatever they want, but it doesn't change the rule that they should be respectful. Both of those are factors, especially if one of the competitors tells you they are. Look at every thread at every forum there are commenting players performance in sports. Calling players bad when they makes mistakes is the norm from a lot of users. If they are BM, then you need to define what being BM is. | ||

On the matches; I can't argue with what TLO is trying to do. He seems to be making the right decisions most of the time and I still think he has great variation! Spanishiwa is just so solid though ... what to do, what to do? -- EDIT -- Wow ! Very surprised. Loved the last two games especially. + Show Spoiler + Macro is fantastic to look at but my personal nightmare is early pressure. Even though I am quite the fan of Spanishiwa's style, I really liked seeing that 'counter' play from TLO. | ||

Show some respect for the players and the commentators, they're underpayed and most of them do what they do for free and they have huge amounts of time invested in this. BM = Bad Manner. Say what you would say IRL. I doubt any of these self proclaimed experts would say that a player's bad / don't improve / sucks / blabla to his face, but when it's on a forum you all of a sudden can spew out whatever you feel like. Quit it. /rant off. Pz. | ||

Less scv pulling and a earlier bunker would of stopped it cold. + Show Spoiler + while I agree that TLO handled it poorly, I'm not convinced it was cheese.. I think Spanishiwa did the proxy evo as a response to TLO's very fast in base CC. Definitely all in when the zerglings came, though | ||

The way spanishiwa uses his broolord corrupter queen combo's pretty smart. Its usually across a large gap. I don't think it'll be easy for him to sneak ghosts in to EMP the queens. I feel like TLO's got a lot more in him than what we see on these games though! I hope he makes a comeback and starts getting ravens and detection! | ||

To Spanishiwa : any idea when you and TLO would find a moment to play the remaining games ? I'm asking because it seems you're reading this post, and you completely hyped us during the 3 first games. GL to you, and GL to TLO too for the rest of the series. | ||

I can give you tons of examples if you (as it could seem) dont read other forums where they comments on player performances. | ||

A Husky comment during he first game gave me the idea to make a Bo7 showmatch and the prize pool distribution is governed by how many games each player wins. I mean, they're all getting played anyway, would be a cool way to make every game count. Like, with this $500 prizepool, make each game worth $70. bam, payout perfectly distributed to the player's performance. | ||
