He's played in the last FXOpen IS + Show Spoiler + Unfortunately his first opponent was sCfOu so he lost 2-0. I've seen the replay of the first game though, and it wasn't a rolfstomp at all. sC went with an abusive early Hellion/marine aggression build and eventually edged the game out purely by better micro. I'd certainly rank him in top 20 competitive NA players right now. He's now beaten some very highly rated players in money games (all were BO7 series at least), and is actually sitting at quite an impressive prize money sum this month. | ||

He really plays Zerg as it should be played using all the awesome mechanics. Nydus, Mass Quenn, Infestors&Ultras. And even though he is a greedy greedy guy often he seems to get away with it most of the time. Would be interested to see how he fares against Korean T aggression + Show Spoiler + He was crushed 2-0 by sCfOu in the most recent FXOpen | ||

The thing is spanishiwa really delays the lair. So if you could hide a marauder push behind some hellion harass, then you could have some luck, I would think... Lair takes 80 seconds to complete. Spire takes 100 seconds to make and Mutas take 33 seconds to hatch. That is a 3 and half minute window between the time the zerg scouts your marauders to the time you can make a push...and as a protoss player I know terran can do a fast marauder push! | ||

Remember that Spanishiwa does mix up his strategies and tends to have very good scouting. Generally 1 base Terran showing no sign of expanding is going to set off alarms (especially if they seem to be hiding tech), the most likely reaction is in fact queens (because it could be banshee). Queens do quite decently at tanking marauders or hellions as both rely on their bonus damage vs light/armored. Additionally spine crawlers, even though they do die pretty fast to marauders, also kill them very fast. Not saying it couldn't work but I wouldn't write it off as a sure loss. | ||

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 $70. bam, payout perfectly distributed to the player's performance. Do you know how to do math? Please tell me how many games worth 70$ would fit into a 500$ prize pool. "Perfectly distributed" huh. But otherwise, great matches! Very impressed with Spanishiwa's play. Not too impressed with TLO as normal. | ||

Everyone can have a bad day, and it's not like he was playing cross server or had a TL event coming up in a few minutes. Point is you don't know either of our situations, so don't be so quick to judge. Thank you Spanishiwa, gl hf! | ||

Still doesn't make sense in any outcome less than all 7 games. Winning 4-0 only yields $280 to winner and $0 to loser, for example. Better yet would be to take the percentage of games won, multiply that by the prize pool for the winner, then do the same for the loser. 4-0 yields $500 to winner, $0 to loser. 4-3 yields $286 for winner and $214 to loser. Only in this manner are games won commensurate to prize money earned, while still accurately summed from the total starting prize pool. edit: nevermind. Wasn't aware all 7 games were played regardless of out-of-7 status. | ||

How about a big mass nitro pack reaper timing push? Reapers do remarkably well against both queens and spines, they kill drones fast and can kite zerglings without metabolic boost. Just a though. | ||
