Zealot-heavy isnt that uncommon and Tanks + Marauders are not very good against Zealot Archon. Tanks just do NOTHING to Zealots. Kind of annoying from tastosis right there. He had 4 colossus that got in far more shots than they should have. Supernova's army was pretty much gone by the time the last one went down. | ||

Ahhhhh. Good ol' Firefox is not always the best solution, I guess. Thank you so much. Edit: haha, tuning in to find out they just finished the last game. Well, that's life, I guess. | ||

Bait 10 vikings, with phoenixes and a few colossi, but only make chargelots and archons to rape everything on the ground.. That was damn good imo. this!! seem his result in NASL was not lie(lost all his game XD) | ||

This was what I was thinking as well - he played a great mindgame there. | ||

Huge misstep by supernova. | ||

He knows collossus would not be good in the long run so that is why he got charge zealots and armor upgrade. Agreed. Tastosis is normally spot on but honguns way of playing that out is nowhere near as bad as they tried to make it sound. They were right about the running in vikings to kill the colossi, but thats a very easy thing to say and a very risky thing to do since you cant be sure there are no stalkers, and as viking move over the P base he'll have time for one warpin round. It wasnt exactly the best game ever but both players certainly played better than they tried to make it sound. In short, hongun forfeited his colossi to win the ground battle with zealot/archon. And it succeeded brilliantly. | ||

Just as a counterpoint: both MC and July in Dreamhack, had their games been Bo1's in the group stages, wouldn't have even made it out of their group. | ||

My god some of these posts in this thread have lowered my IQ | ||

Bait 10 vikings, with phoenixes and a few colossi, but only make chargelots and archons to rape everything on the ground.. That was damn good imo. the problem is that he only built the templar archive after ~12 minutes. Supernova could have been dropping him all the time before that, because he had absolutly no anti air to stop drops. Also 4 colossi aren't "a few", those were basically the backbone of his army before he built the archives. Hungon skipped a necessary part of his army in the hopes that Supernova wouldn't attack before he had the eco to make Archons. It was a risky build that worked out, because Supernova completly ignored all the information his drops should have given him. | ||

And Viking is only for countering collosi, they are basically useless after all collosi fall, so why bother making counter to viking, just let the collosi deal the damage and die. Stalkers dont make sense as well cause tanks and marauders melts them. The problem is he could have flown in with his vikings before the battle even started and just killed every collosus flown away then attacked and rolled him over. Instead the collosus got fought during the battle and they were able to do a TON of damage before being taken out. This was because Supernova clearly thought there HAD to be something to fight the vikings when in reality there wasnt so he should just use them to kill everyhing they can. | ||
