That second game MC vs Jinro looked like a Grandmaster vs a Bronze player.

A comment which shows you have about the same game understanding as your average bronze player yourself --;

MCs build vs my build was 100% rock paper scissors where I was scissor and he was rock. The timings for ghost pushes are just way too late because the macro kicks in much stronger than normal when you tripple, and I cant scout it because wasting scans sucks. If you are playing against a better player you dont win by being overly cautious, if I hadnt been able to scout him putting down a nexus I would have scanned his natural because I think I have to, but since I knew about the nexus, I m going to use a mule instead to make the situation as good for myself as it can be.

were good games anyway

My predict:

Naniwa loses to MC, Idra wins over Huk, IDRA VS MC!
MC wins again, Naniwa walks up again in loser bracket, face MC in the final for the second time. Win over MC. <3

Rotterdam is fast becoming my favourite caster, he cracks so many jokes and a top music taste.

Why do you even bother to respond to comments in LR thread, it's full of, let's put it kindly, bad comments.

Stream quality is pretty good in the start of the games, then it gets almost unwatchable.

It depends on map. On Crossfire or Xelnaga, broodlords are better for example. On a bit map like Tal'Darim ultras are the better choice.

Why does Idra keep morphing ultras???

Because he's about to win with them?

Some banelings may be a better choice. With drop tech, it's awesome.

The first instinct late game is to just start throwing out a ton of top tier units, but yeah I agree, banes would've been more effective and ended this game safer and faster.

You shouldn't even respond to that guy Jinro. Anyone with half a brain could tell that was a result of build order. You played very well game 1!

For Idra ultras are probably always better, because his broodlord control is comically bad.

One thing to realize, that sort of strategy is only viable on a big wide open map like tal'darim. Ultras are trash on a map like metalopolis. And it is much harder to get surrounds with lings.

There are very few maps where it is viable. Tal'darim is probably the best map for that. This game won't go so smoothly for IdrA.

I am relieved that idra didn't max on roaches and throw away a lead.

Although the a-move ultras was pretty frustrating to watch.

it wasnt even close if you ask me


It was alot closer than it should have been due to how bad ultralisks are, immortals/DT's/Zealots/Archons are all amazing vs them.
