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. |
Dear blizzard. Give zerg another unit that excels at being microed besides mutas. Protoss can do crazy micro w/ blink and deny micro with FF. Terrans can do crazy things with stim and drop play. Zerg players want to have fun too...
baneling bombs / other overlord drops infestor fungal / np

Naniwa and Sen have good chances of doing so.

AMEN BRUTHA Roaches only will never beat blink stalkers, a load of july style lings would have saved the day I think. Also, too many drones maybe? Or roaches + infestors? Also, sad to see Bratok down, last non Korean Terran, and when I joined the stream I saw him killing buildings with vikings which is so rare... but then he kinda had no army Bigger fan of BratOk after the matches vs Naniwa. He is one of the few top terrans who uses shit to their fullest potential. Even if Naniwa did the same stupid crap he does every PvT (2 coll push) he was the better player and deserved to win.

IdrA refuses to get one of zerg's best unit: the infestor... he outplays himself

170 supply vs 112 (Unsure of exact food counts but point still stands). Both players have 65ish drones. Idra has 3-4 queens? That leaves MC with an army supply of 48 and idra with and army supply of 94.
Roach Cost = 75/25 Roach total minerals = 3525 Roach Total Gas = 1175 Stalker Cost = 125/50 Stalker total Minerals = 3000 Stalker total Gas = 1200 Idra also had a higher supply = extra overlords so that factors in aswell.
MC had +2 while idra only had +1. Stalkers are also strong vs roaches since they do +damage to armor. MC also had blink and idra did not have any infestors or similar to counter it. Idra still had a stronger army value, but nowhere near as 170 supply vs 112 makes it sounds.
Pretty much what ppl cant see

lets hope for 100k+ in the finals Not gonna happen, unless it's in the evening. Having the Semi-Finals and Finals on a WORKDAY, that's just dumb (yes i am disappointed, i'll be at work, like most european over 18+ anyway, or rather 23+ for the most). :-(
Yeah it sucks kinda a lot for normal people 18+.
I'll hopefully be home in time for the grand finals, but there better be a foreigner in it otherwise I'll have to find something else to watch

Don't know what you guys are talking about Huk is Canadian.

Dangerous topic you bring up. And if you don't get banned for it I will suggest you save such discussions for other topics and not in a LR-thread

Massing pure Roach = bad play. I'm sorry that IdrA can't win with one unit. The problem with this statement is the "Idra can't win with one unit" remark, when that's exactly what MC did. Not saying there is necessarily an imbalance, just pointing out that your statement doesn't make sense. How does zerg win with a single unit? Blink stalkers can do it but even MC had sentries

How do you figure HuK is pretty much counted as a Korean? HuK is the only foreigner who can compete with koreans atm. Ever heard of that guy named Thorzain? He's said to be pretty good.. Having convincingly beaten MC at the TSL and all...
Thorzain? oh you mean the guy who didn't make it out of his group today? ic ic

Idra should have made sure he had +2+2 at that time, since he got the early lead.
That said ... it is incredibly strong, and it is hard to play against because a really good micro player, can get so much out of them before he really starts losing a lot of units. And if you go ling hydra, and he went colossus, that's almost an auto loss as well.

Amazing, not a single upset in the round of 16. That's kinda crazy.
ro8 predictions
Huk 2-1 socke July 2-0 Sen Bomber 2-1 mc Naniwa 2-1 moon
This is the round where i'm not sure who's going to win really though. There are no more "clear winners". MC bomber could go any way. July sen really is dependent on how agressive july is. Good luck to everyone!

*siiigh* a great tournament and a great weekend of starcraft ruined by the fact that the final matches are held during a work day T_T
