Jesus, can we at least keep idiotic balance stuff out of casting please. Kiwikaki is a very good player, he's not "abusive".



.....Are you serious?


Yes, I'm serious.



Abusive doesn't equal imbalance, christ. It means you do something designed to do tons of damage if your oppenent doesn't react correctly.


Yup... this is true. It's funny how there are people who complain about balance, and there are also people who complain about too much balance talk. I remember last week some guy randomly started telling zergs to stop crying about imbalance when not a single person posted about balance.

I know what abusive is, christ. How does 18 nexus fall under that category? It doesn't. Idra just loves calling every single Protoss in the world abusive.

He's good at casting but it would be better if they wouldn't let him cast Protoss.

Sheth didn't utilize his spines at all . He could have moved them foward or retreated to them multiple times. Instead they ended up being useless.

1-0 Kiwi.

Basic summary of Kiwi vs Sheth G1

+ Show Spoiler +
Kiwikaki vs Sheth G1

Crevasse

Sheth spawns top left, Kiwi Spawns top right

Sheth opens gas first while Kiwi goes for a risky 18 Nexus after 2 probes.

Kiwi also starts a forge and a gateway after the nexus.

Sheth expands at 20 supply.

Sheth tries to get into the base with a few zerglings, but a pylon makes a solid wallin.

Seeing that Sheth can't get into the base of Kiwi, he makes another expansion.

Kiwikaki starts a sentry and begins Ground weapons +1 while Sheth gets zergling speed and a lair.

Kiwi makes a twilight council and makes 5 gateways + a robotics bar

Sheth morphs a roach warren and it finishes as the lair finishes.

Sheth sacs an overlord and sees the 4 gateways, but not the twilight council.

Kiwi breaks out of his own wall by killing a pylon, and the zerglings outside manage to pick off a stalker as he moves out a bit.

As the protoss moves out, zerglings snipe the probe then run by the army to harrass the main base.

Kiwi breaks down the rocks outside of Sheth's 3rd and attacks through,

A pylon goes down and Kiwi keeps warping in stalkers from it.

Great blink micro, taking out all of Sheth's army.

As kiwi kills the third base of Sheth, roaches try to flank, but there is too many stalkers and Sheth GGs.
Survival is winning, everything else is bullshit.

Gretorp was the one who said the 18 nexus was 'abusive'. Stop letting your bias against IdrA confuse you.

Not to sound like a fanboy, but Idra's game knowledge is so damn good. I love hearing him talk about what's going on in games.. Hoping Sheth brings some funk for game 2.

I know who said it, lol. Gretorp is just like that, perhaps watch the vod later to check who brought it up first.

Very well said there by IdrA; I'm impressed with his co-casting skills thus far.

It's abusing the fact that you have such a protected natural you can take and the fact that you can get away with putting it down so late because of the map and how you can wall off at the front. Ofcourse it's abusive...

He didn't call him bad for doing it ffs, just called it exactly how it is. Ofcourse players are going to abuse certain aspects of their race to win tournaments and games.
