Not that it matters there because Bratok forgot to build an army. It didnt work, because Socke scouted. He didnt find the expansion, but saw which units Bratok has (or more to the point which he lacked). Therefore he went for all-out attack and won. Eh as others have said I think he was gearing up for that attack anyways. Got lucky.

look at prize money won, those two are far ahead.

Socke is not a lesser player the thing is in the EU scene no1 is realy dominating. there is so many top players beating and losing to eachother eachday. So today Brat-ok and Socke was just better.

Yeah this...
If SC2 had streams embedded into battle.net, you would easily see 300k+ People watching..

it is not that unusual for a protoss to be 30 behind in food midgame. so the advantage may not be as big as it appears.

Not that it matters there because Bratok forgot to build an army. i think 6 gate colossus is quite unusual.. I wouldn't be suprised if socke noticed, that bratok didn't have a lot of buildings/army when he scouted him with his observer and figured that something was going on and decided he could kill him with a 2base push I'm pretty sure Socke planned to attack with 3 collosus no matter what. He played ridiculously risky early on and only had 1 sentry up until warpgate finished and already had his robo up. He basically went for fasted possible collosus on a fast expand.
well he got the probe in bratoks base in the beginning and scouted no gas, so if you think interpreting no gas as fast expo und going for fast colossus in response is "ridiculously risky" then yeah, you are right!

Even if both was true, it would not make him a lesser player, two series would not be enough to decide that anyway. He has enough achievements under his belt already and is constantly considered as a top3 protoss in europe.
And one has to be careful to only look at food count when analyzing who is ahead. Socke loves to tech whenever he has the chance and plays very upgrade heavy. Game1 against Dimaga he had a massive tech and upgrade advantage. 200food of zerglings, roaches and hydras is nothing against 3-0 stalkers and colossi with forcefields.

Yes, Brat_Ok and Socke advanced from Group B (both 4-1), mTw DIMAGA (3-2), Fnatic NightEnD (2-3), Mouz Morrow (2-3), Millenium DieStar (0-5) eliminated.
|
The basic Idea behind this attack from Socke was he scouted with his observer, that Bratok was behind in Tech, and then we saw the 3 additional gateways for him going down. So because he did know that Bratok wouldn't have enough vikings, to go "all-in" was such a smart move. Well done Socke.

If anybody picked Socke and Bratok to come out of that group, they were mad men.

I have, when dimaga had the first big engagement at the 4th of socke in game 2 he remade 60 zerglings while all socke had was 2 voids, 2 zeal, and 1 stalker. He could have a-moved and killed the 4th and then run back. iNstead he let it finish and lost the grip on the game
