We will be moderating harshly in this thread. Think twice before you post. Things we are watching for: image macros, balance whining, "eagles", player bashing etc. We encourage civil and reasoned critique of our moderation - please post it in the website feedback forum.
Please don't complain about MLG stream quality or MLG itself. They work very hard to provide you with an enjoyable service.
Enough with the racism discussions, this is a LR Thread. Cut it out. -- updated 7:55 KST |

He just did a crazy strategy that involved 3 base drone pumping into just a bunch of roach lings. I mean, he had 4 hatcheries BEFORE he had his lair. How crazy is that! During the entire time he was attacking he kept macroing, and reinforcements just kept on swarming in. His entire strategy was beautiful. Dam I hate noobs who have no idea what they are talking about posting crap like that. your talking about the guy that said losira a moved right? not the guy you quoted.

What do you mean, "Now you know what it felt like". The problem was their were to many scrub Zerg's like yourself just copying other builds, because of this their were no builds created, instead everyone just doing the same old roach hydra.
If anything, those zergs who thought Z was UP for 8 months should be feeling sheepish that they were QQing. I don't see any 'toss screaming for balance patches. Just remarkable how the matchup has changed.

As a Protoss player I'm laughing at my colleagues who are whining. Come on... get real. This has nothing to do with balance, you're acting like the game was patched overnight and Protoss got stealth nerfed -_- Also please notice Losira didn't even use any Infestor. Anyway I'm glad that Ret won against Major, even if it means that we're going to witness a team kill if I understand this correctly. (Ret vs Haypro)

You have solved protoss for now just try not get complacent or we will continue to see this 75/25 PvZ flip flop lol I dont think there is a single matchup that shifts so much back and forth so violently as this one :p Rofl, honestly how dumb are you guys. Stop complaining because the no.1/no.2 ZvPer in the world beat a top foreigner protoss... Ya really... people tend to forget this is LOSIRA playing, he doesn't represent the whole ladder... Play more, complain less, and don't base the entire state of SC2 off of one result / tournament... Well how do you explain TvZ? how many terrans have won a tvz apart from thorzain and MMA? as all the zergs used to say "Not everyone is fruitdealer", well guess what not everyone is thorzain or MMA
knock it off with the balance whine in an lr thread if i could report you i would. Do you guys not see the cycle of QQ first terran then protoss and now zerg somehow.

Does anyone have a link to how many MLG points you get for for different placements and how many points players had going into this MLG? Would be interesting to theorize how far different players would have to go to get seeded for next MLG.

Extended series kind of cuts down the excitement of it though.
True, but I like the extended series because every game actually matters.

So I get warning for saying that naniwa didn't get outplayed. Game 1) He made the best possible eco build, losira had no idea what to do vs it and made 14 lings or so, suicided them without killing anything. 2)He harrassed with 3 phoenixes and a vray, forcing 5 spores, killing 3 overlords, 4 queens, 5-6 drones 3)Kept up with macro all game long, took his 3rd as soon as he could (no you can't get a third vs roachling unless you have 2 colossi) 4)Had perfect fights and forcefields, losira threw away units into nothing with 0 micro. 5)Couldn't switch to ht tech at any time. Really, he had all game long just enough to defend, how do you think you can get that much gas? Now, tell me what losira did. 4 s d for 10 minutes, losing a lot of stuff. 4 s r and 4 s z, losing a lot of stuff. THEN, IT WAS 4 s c time. Oh wait.... now he has no colossi... let me check my stratsbook. YAYYY IT'S 4 s h TIME!

This MLG is a bit disappointing. I loved watching MLG because it was a tournament to see the best Western players battle it out live. Now that they brought in the Koreans there is no more chance of crazy upsets like we saw in Dallas, where an unknown comes to win it all. It is already looking like it will be all Koreans in the final, BORING!!!!
I would have rather seen epic matches like Idra VS Naniwa or other western vs western matches. As it is it will be korean A i don't care about vs korean B I don't care about.

STREAMS UP!!!!!! IDRA IDRA IDRA IDRA

The people who earned it are the pros who adapted their play to suit their race. I am glad zergs are doing well now... it's just unfortunate that the bullshit about balance never stops though. meh, I'm just saying that the other two races have had periods of dominance, and now we're getting ours. don't make a big deal out of it.

He is playing straight up macro games he is showing why if you don't chese or do a timing atack (all in) you just lose vs zerg I kind of agree. It shows Protoss can't win in a straight up macro game. You need to harass, you cannot let Zerg macro like that. No it shows that Naniwa fell behind significantly in economy and paid the price... What do you suggest Naniwa doing? Taking a 3rd so he dies even earlier? Perhaps doing something during the time Losira is making 1231231 drones ?? You can safely get a third up around the same time as a zerg if he just sits there and masses drones like losira is doing. This, if you do "15min no attack" game after 15min the player with better macro skills wins the game with more stuff, no matter what unit he has. Kinda basic RTS principal ;p
