dreamhuk is going to wreak the field

He did? He went 50/50 on his ball of colos. Half went after the chargelots and the other went after Nani's colos.

i don't think some people understand the benefit of +2

MC's units
Zealots - 16 damage
Colossi - 30 damage

Naniwa's units
Zealots - 20 damage
Colossi - 38 damage
Archon - 41 damage

Considering how many Zealots Naniwa had, oh my GOD lol

dunno why you'd transition into DTs though, generally midgame pvp you have 3 options (blink/charge is staple, if you don't have at least one of these you basically auto-lose)
continue colossus - make more robos depending on how many bases you have and pump that shit
go air - a colossus void ray army will smash a normal colossus army
go archon - a colossus archon army will obliterate any air build, but will get owned by pure colossus

you also need ups since so many pvp units get huge dps boosts

dunno what mc was doing there



Watch MC vs. Hasu in NASL and you will understand why DTs are awesome in mid and late-game PvP. They also allow for Archons.

What decided this game were the upgrades and the mis-micro by MC.

Because you can't type in different voice tone, so better be clear or misunderstood.

I don't think anyone is making excuses, despite all the pre-emptive defenders.



Naniwa beat MC in a really close Bo3 and they were all high level games. MC needs to learn to upgrade. It's also the flaw that made him lose to Thorzain in TSL3.


As for the jetlag comment referring to MLG, Idra himself believed it to be true and was telling people that, because apparently MC hadn't even been in Columbus for a day yet when he had to start playing. There is clearly no jetlag in HSC3.



Overall I still think MC is a better player but Naniwa is really close to his level. Training in Korea, I think Naniwa could be at MC's level, and go deep in GSL. I'm quite confident that he can make it into Code S.

mc vs naniwa was the only good series so far in this tournament.

all the other series were either bad or just plain low skilled.



I haven't seen every other match, but I cannot accept this has any shred of truth to it. Of the matches I have seen, many have been very good and all have been skilled. There have been a lot of PvP recently, so I hope to see some more high level micro and mind games.

I recall people saying that SeleCT started it.

Nah it was some EU pro, I believe Beastyqt, who used it in pmuch every IRC channel that he entered, way before SeleCT used it. SeleCT popularized it under the people who don't follow the smaller EU tournaments though. *Not 100% sure about this, might be thinking of something else, but I believe it was like tihs''
It appears I have been chosen.

GJ Nani :>

It kind felt like MC isn't used to longer PvPs. Nani had a better mid-lategame build/plan. Still it's just one Bo3, can't draw any conclusions.

Are there more games today?

sick series.

boring as hell game 3 though, sit back on two base and let the tech choices made blidnly without any scouting decide the winner irrespective of macro, micro, or positioning. a game that doesn't show anything about the winner unfortunately, i felt a lot better about Nani in game 1 where he outplayed MC as opposed to this crap.


Naniwa didn't outplay MC in game one. It was a build order win. That's why PvP is so stupid, most games aren't decided by skill but by which build order you blindly picked, the reason MC is so good in PvP (as opposed to basically anyone else) is that he is able to win often when his build order is worse than the others guys (see game 2 in this series).

I agree with you, first game came down to decision making but in the last game Naniwa just out-microed MC tbh.
