You gotta rely on whatever you can to win and we all know its hard to be the one attacking and reinforcing. Yeah there is a lot of uncertainty but Zerg could have made a small pack of 10 lings and ran to scout the nexus to see if it was going to be canceled or not- and even better run into the base and do damage. Zergs forget what backstabbing is some days. Its not a coinflip its a stagnant idea of playstyle where without 80 drones you lose. Without 80 drones immediately you lose. You can play differently. You can say, not go banelings and use zerglings to drain sentry energy by attacking from multiple directions at once. Theres a lot of ways to play and I hear this BM about coin flips when Zerg plays passively and lets protoss attack. Its a long long trip from the Nexus to the Hatch. Make it last for them. there's actually little/no defenders advantage because of warpgate, though... and if you make as many units as you can right when he cancels, you still won't be able to make enough in time - there are plenty of examples of this. you can't backstab a protoss main when they can warp in a single zealot and complete their wall. draining sentry energy with zerglings is a nice idea but the amount of drones you lose by making those zerglings hurts a lot more than the energy he loses off the sentries. | ||

Demuslim doesn't seem to be doing much for EG, LzGamer shows himself only rarely, Axslav has a hard time with PvP, and StrifeCro is just out of practice. Their 2v2 team hasn't been doing well, either. IdrA is basically their lynch pin in these team leagues. | ||

The only player that used medic for blind in a few games was Really from estro when he used medics against obs to make his mines better ie his game versus Janbi. Stasis are not countered by preparing for wearoff. Stasis is countered by emp+ or slow spread out push. I really don't like people talking out of their ass about BW shit they don't understand. Stasis does remove micro so don't try to reason that. Also just because you can fight it with emp doesn't mean it doesn't stop micro. Just as you can feign with roaches to force preemptive ff. You are backpedaling quite well from your initial comment, well done. | ||

I was giving an example of the only time you ever see lockdown which is battle cruiser in tvt, occasionally you'll see it in a tvp, but that's generally only against carriers. Go watch old TvT vods. As for stasis, yet again I was giving an example, you weren't talking about the actual casting of stasis, obviously you don't intend for it to be cast but what I assumed you meant as it was the only thing that would make sense for your argument is after the stasis has gone off and the best answer for that is to protect your stasis'd units if they're not a negligible amount. You talk about talking out of my ass about BW shit I don't understand, I've been playing broodwar for 11 years and watching pro-bw for nearly as long, who are you? | ||

And how is able to compete in Korea, in the gsl and the gstl not a step up? Select and Sjow in all honor but Naniwa will probably be able to play with a lot more players of equal or greater skill in Korea if he gets there. Don't get me wrong, I'd be happy for him to stay in dignitas but I would understand if he does not. Also, what TT1 said. I'd say FXO is a step down. Dignitas have the money to send him to Korea. And FXO doesnt have any player on his level, qxc is in a slump, moonglade havent been doing great either and the rest is well "meh" atm. Both SjoW and SeleCT is top notch players. I dont see any reason why he would switch. | ||

That would give both him and strifecro a better chance to get points... I guess they were probably pretty limited with choices because of only these 3 being available... Could work out for them anyways. Strifecro looking pretty good. Might have purposely put him up on crossfire just to land a terran. | ||

Nestea has said he plays worse on ladder to hide builds against GSL opponents. Nestea said in an interview that he uses ladder to dick around and try new things, so I doubt he takes it that seriously.. | ||
