To be honest, DRG lost because he didn't upgrade his mutas. With so many, he could have denied any expos and took on whole armies if they were upgraded. By the end, 6 marines were taking out 10 mutas with medivac support. That's too much gas to be throwing away vs. marines.

A really well played finals that I think MMA won for a number of reasons.

To begin with DongRaeGu got ahead when MMA let him take 3 bases and fully saturate them as well. He was in a winning position untill he a-moved his huge army into siege tanks. He should have been more active with his mutas to take out siege tanks before rolling in with lings. He would have won the game right there if he had slightly reduced the number of siege tanks. Throughout the rest of the game DRG had a good bunch of mutas that I felt he could get a bit more value of. Again sniping a bit more siege tanks or whatever he could pick off would put him ahead and have his lings do more damage. It may have been nerves though, flying mutas over enemy territory can be fatal if missmicroed for a second so I think he didnt want to risk it. Besides that I think they both played phenomenaly especialy considering it was an ace match of the finals where nerves could get really bad.


TLDR version (which may or maynot be mention int he above)

1. Losing that clutch battle where he had an overhwlming size army.
2. No upgrading
3. Keyborad failure. (biggest reason imo. His play was so clean and crisp beforehand)

3-3 marines and 2-0 tanks vs 0-1 lings/blings. DRG pwned himself when he was miles ahead.

I am pretty sure that they were 1-1, but yes, inferior upgrades costed DRG the game.


DRG's lings were 2 attck 1 armor but the tanks were +2 attack for MOST of the game and he finished +3 by the end. It is a huge difference having a +1 armor above the tanks because then Tanks dont one-shot Lings. The fact that tanks were splattering clutters of banes/lings was a BIG factor in why DRG lost a lot of those battles so badly.

MMA was all over the place with his drops, that's why DRG couldn't use his mutas more. He had to defend...

Besides MMA, Frozen was the MVP for the series.

His out-of-this-world snipe took out MVP's second best player and then he destroyed Violet, one of MVP's Code S players. If he didn't show up, MVP probably rolls over them if MMA can't win a few in a row.

Doa/moletrap do a fine job, but this is the finals and you should bring out the big guns for them. It's weird to see Tastosis only cast terrible games while the Code A casters get all the amazing finals.

I don't think DRG is as good as Nestea, at least not yet.

So far, DRG only showed this one incredibly powerful early defense into high-econ muta harass + Banelings that just seems unbeatable by Terrans atm (well unless DRG hands out 30 banelings for free like he did). But DRG still has yet to show me the level of depth and reactionary skills that Nestea has.


I believe DRG to have better macro than any other zerg. He doesn't skip a beat. If you watched his stream he could also see he's not like any other zerg. I wouldn't put him above nestea just because of experience and maybe some micro/overeager issues. With time though, he'll pass them!

Thorzain vs fruitdealer (TSL3)

Nestea vs Sc (GSL)

and

MMA vs DRG (GSTL)

Best TvZ's to date in sc2!


Thorzain FD does not belong in the discussion.

I think FD TOP may qualify though.


Don't forget BratOk VS DarkForce...

he lost it right before the keyboard failure. right before the pause was when MMA took control of the game and never made a large enough mistake to get DRG win it back.

How come someone who plays like MMA in team leagues can fail to GSL Code A against foreigner or even put himself in similar position? I just can't understand that. :/

Anyway

I NEEDED CIGARETTE AFTER THIS GAME
HOLY CHECK

DRG really threw away that game. He was massively ahead all he had to do was defend a little bit and get double evo going into hive, instead he threw away his entire army into the sieged position of MMA and lost an attrition battle afterwards.
Not that great a game imo.

You know one thing this casting pair has going for them is heart. They may not have the brains or wit of Tastosis, but they sure aren't afraid to show enthusiasm. It's in those heart-gripping moments like the DRG/MMA game that they win you over with their sincerity.

GSTL is always better than GSL because the teams can make choices on who to send out after someone loses. In a BO9 in GSL, someone might just suck 1 day and lose 5-0, or maybe he sucks in that particular matchup. In GSTL, they can decide whos the best person to take on their next opponent.

Violet gave up the lead for clan MVP because that allowed SlayerS to get the final pick going into the last match. Not only that, MMA was also fresh off the bench and ready to go while DRG had to go through 1 player already

THIS

the best final ever,

one of the worst casts ever by commentators.

Sorry Doa and Moletrap but you guys were screaming like 5 year olds, one trying to yell louder than the other.


Yeah cauz Korean casters dont shout non stop.


Different thing. There were a lot of times in the last game where doa and moletrap were trying to yell on top of each other.....nothing to do with the excitement from the korean commentators.....they were dual "solocasting" lol....I believe that was the pont of the poster and not the fact that they were excited.

And yes....dual scream bad....scream one at the time good ^^

WHY IS GSTL FINAL SO MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER THAN GSL FINAL?????

Because a single guy can't cheese his way through to the top, you need to have a good game plan prepared for each and every potential matchup, have a lot of depth in your team and raise the general level of the team's playing qualities a lot higher as opposed to having one or two aces and the rest is substandard.
