Wow, that was a disappointing series. Don't get me wrong I expected Nani to win, because I think he is better than Hasu atm, but I was expecting something more from this series.

on the mirrors:

for the guy saying TvT is not worrth watching because noone wants to see positional play. lal that's shooting yourself in the foot, the positional play of high level TvT is the truest testament of skill in this game of any matchup.

and comparing ZvZ, which requires incredible game sense, decision making, timings, positioning, micro, and macro, to PvP, which only requires micro and timing at the highest level, is an insult, even if both matchups are very close to being a coinflip, even if they're not quite there.


ZvZ has some amount conflipping in the openings but it's not nearly as bad as in PvP

Not sure if posted, but Naniwa stomped Thorzain today @ IOL. And he will probably do so again next sunday. Not sure who I root for though, both being swede

I love the nerds raging on Naniwa for 4 gating. When a game is for a chance to win 15k you do whatever you need to (in game wise) to win. Naniwa stuck to the basics because he knew he could come out on top. It doesn't matter that the basics for this matchup might be boring to you.

Feels resentment to White-Ra vs MC a month ago.

This is correct. Hasu showed some bad decision making these few games. Game 4 he did not scout for proxies and was punished with a proxy-gate into 4 gate. Every time he tried to wall off, he didn't wall off properly and let Naniwa into his base. Game 5 when it was a 4-gate battle, he chose to tech and not get sentries. This meant Naniwa straight up busted his way into Hasu's base before Hasu's tech could kick in.

If anything, Naniwa exploited Hasu's bad decision making and response to 4-gates and repeatedly punished him for it. It's as simple as that. There's $15k on the line. Naniwa is not going to leave this up to chance. If you know someone always plays Paper, it's not cheese to go Scissors. It's just the correct decision.



And a shameless promotion of my thread on how to LR.

PvP is like country music. I can appreciate the talent that goes into putting it together as someone with enough musical background to know how difficult it is to do the things the musicians do but damn, if I go the rest of my life never hearing another country song I wouldn't really mind.

Really looking forward to Thorizain vs. Naniwa in the finals. It was the final I was hoping would result from today's games.
My vanity is justified

ZvZ is way worse than PvP. Least PvP has insane micro rock-paper-scissors, rather than A move rock-paper-scissors.

How can people complain about the entertainment value of these games? didn't we all know it'd be a 4gate fest alrdy? Will always be in PvP until 1.3.3 -.-


do u really u think 1.3.3 will change anything? i mean both players will be affected by slightly later wg ... ..



of course I do, because it'll be delayed and u'll have time to get up a robo or w/e in time instead

It should change things yes the counter to 4gate aggression was 2 gate zealot. It crushed it but whether people will appreciate 4gaters being crushed by a 2 gate is another question. I suspect not.


This is one small step for man, a giant leap for mankind. We will move from 4 gate to 2 gate proxy. God bless late game PvP.

Very nice writeup sir :}

I have no idea in the post that you quoted from me I spell checked something to "resentment" >.< I can't even remember the word I was going for. I edited my original post :X

All those norush people who whined about MC's incredibly clutch proxy gates against White-Ra last month must be frothing in rage right now. GJ Naniwa :D

I hope Thorzain wins next week tho!

Well the better player won. Hasu had a good run but I myself would feel a little disappointed if the final was ThorZain vs Hasu instead of ThorZain vs NaniWa.
