Sadly after all this time with so many tournament threads it still is not clear to many users on this site. There are several types of posts that are not acceptable in tournament threads. Any form of:

Imbalance whine/Player bashing/Caster bashing/Stream complaining

Will result in two day to a week long bans even for first offenses. Please stick to the games at hand and enjoy yourselves with a beautiful event such as this and the free service that comes with it.

How does sen do it!? He is playing at the level of....koreans??

Ofc he is. Hes one of the few foreigners Zerg that could take games from Korean pro in BW and hes on par with top Zerg in Korea since SC2 beta.
He didn't participate much in GSL because hes got school in Taiwan. The fact that hes only semi-pro makes its more impressive.

How is Protoss supposed to stop so many mutalisks in Sase's position?
Sase got totally outplayed though.

Cannons and Phoenixes are probably your best bet, and then go into a templar-tech composition. Don't take the third for a while; you can't defend that much space.

But Sase should never have been in that position. He completely botched the early attacks on Sen's third and didn't scout Sen even though he had Phoenixes. By the time he actually knew Sen had mutalisks, he was almost certain to lose.

Alright since nobody is LRing MaNa vs July:

Crossfire - MaNa at the north spawn, July at the south spawn.

3:30 July getting ling speed, hatch at 20. Mana opened 1 gate, gates 2 and 3 at 30 supply.

6:00 MaNa expoing with 5 sentries 1 zealot, hallucination on the way. July teching to lair off 2 bases with just lings at the moment. Taking up to 3 gasses now.

7:30 July researching burrow. MaNa adding a 4th gate and a cannon to his expo. Robo now on the way.

8:50 July: Hydra den, 3rd base, ranged attack, roach speed all on the way. Mixing drones and roaches with his larva. Hydra range too.

Mana: getting +1 attack. Colo den on the way. Stalkers filling out the army.

11:20 Mana with 11 stalkers, 2nd colo on the way, some sentries, a zealot, colo range.

July has spire almost completed. 4th base on the way. ~30 unit army with hydras, roaches, lings.

13:20 July: 7 corrupters on the way. Roach burrow movement and ranged attack 2 coming out too.

14:00 Mana engages at July's 4th (the gold) and WINNING the fight. All colo go down but MaNa left with a handful of stalkers and 3 sentries.

15:30 July managed to follow up with an attack when MaNa retreated. Did really well with his roaches to make the supply ~160-85.

16:20 July now 180 food. Mana 110. Mana has cannons at the third base but July overruns them with ~20 roaches. Takes out the third base. MaNa now on TWO bases, July on 3, getting the 4th back.

17:30 July sent all of his roaches and a handful of corrupters to attack MaNa's natural. MaNa tries to FF but July burrows the roaches under them, cleans up everything, and MaNa gg's.

Series is at 1-1.

WOW THAT WAS FUCKING HARD. HUGE props to all the regular LRers.

lol game 3 on the way with no break.

Tal'Darim Alter. July at 5, MaNa at 10.

Openings: July with 14 gas, 13 pool. MaNa with Forge FE.

3:10 July with 2 sets of lings, queen, ling speed. MaNa with 1 gate, 1 cannon at the wall for his FE.

4:05 July throws down his hatch at the natural. MaNa's nexus already at 2/3 completion. MaNa completes his wall with the cyber core.

5:00 MaNa can't get the probe scout into July's base. July throws down a third hatch before Lair tech at another base.
MaNa getting another cannon and just sentries.

7:00
MaNa going up to 4 gateways. Focused heavily on economy until now. Robo added 40 seonds later as well as +1 attack.
July is also minimal on his army, sticking to his original 4 lings and purely pumping drones.

8:30 July adds the roach warren, a spire, and an evo chamber.

What's up with Day9 making every series with a Korean only about the foreigner playing? It's something he did in MLG too.

In the Beta mass mutalisks were unstoppable in ZvP and people called imbalance. Looks like Sen finally will bring back that kind of balance whine to the TL community -_-''

funny thing is, Protoss has quite a lot of options: blink stalkers, mass phoenixes, archons and HT all do really well against mutas (the first 2 struggle against the ling component of ling/muta, but the last 2 do very very well against both)

There was 3 phenixes to 20 mutas, don't be stupid.

travis wasn't saying that Sen had a super massive tonne of mutas, he's saying that in a theoretical situation, you can kill as many mutas as you want with one pheonix, and noobs tell you that's the counter to mutas, while in practice, that ain't gonna happen.

dont let zerg get that many mutalisks (kill him with a 6gate), or pump out a lot of phoenixes (sase stopped making them for some reason)

It's ironic since Sase was the one opening with air.
