Pretty terrible bracket creation that something like that is possible so quickly.

So quickly? the losers bracket would be almost done at that point loll.

DT expand is not cheese? Really guys come on.


DT expand still puts you behind if you do no damage with it, which is why it has been declining in popularity in Korea.


No it's not, if anything it's seeing an increase in popularity again since the Archon buff meaning Zealot/Archon timings are an excellent follow up, as well as the fact that if he goes all out to Raven you can morph archons and still have a powerful defensive unit.

It's the same for anything though, I open blueflame drop or cloaked banshees and don't do damage while my opponent goes 1rax fe? I'm behind! DT's have the advantage of making it a nightmare for the Terran to move out even if they fend off the actual harass well, it's a good opening

Choya played his hand and it beat Jinro's who had lots of time to get a turret up. Simple as dat. Sets up a nice Tyler revenge match though.

Why are people calling a DT expand cheese?


Because it wasn't a DT expand.


It kindof was lol

Choya didn't need much of an army b/c he scouted gasless expand. If Jinro would have thrown down 3 more barracks and pulled all scv's then it would have been a successful mindgame cheese. So all Choya's build was was a greedy expand into harrass b/c he took a good guess what Jinro was doing.


The point is that Jinro could have had Turrets up in time with his build, which makes choya's choice all in and cheese (because he had no way of knowing whether Jinro will be safe or not).

Before ~7 min you make a wall that is closed. Just in case. If you scout 2 gas and no gas heavy units.
Kill one man and they'll call you a murderer. Kill an army of men and they'll call you a general. But kill all men and they'll call you a god.

From the looks of it, Jinro was going for a fast ghost timing build. That's why he didn't have an engineering bay.

Terran needs MULES early game. If a Terran player isn't MULing properly and a good Gateway Timing push comes, they'll lose the game. You can say that Jinro lost because he was greedy or didn't scout enough, but what it comes down to is that Dark Templar are the stupidest thing in the game. They give free wins to Protoss players who don't deserve them, such as Choya over Jinro. Or how about Puzzle beating MMA. Puzzle would have lost first round were it not for the stupidity of a unit that instantly wins you the game (anybody who didn't watch those, basically Puzzle DT rushed two games in a row, MMA forgot Missile Turrets, and later in the game despite MMA microing far better and outplaying Puzzle, he was too far behind.

Basic recap of those games:
Game 1: Jinro plays far better than Choya and wins with great play and NUKES!!!
Game 2: Choya abuses Metalopolis and wins because of a map imbalance and cheesy play.
Game 3: Dark Templar.

Only one of those games is worth watching, I bet you can all guess which one it is.


I find it funny how you complain about DTs when you are far better equipped to deal with it than Zerg is.

Terrans almost never go for cloaked banshee in that matchup because they expect the Protoss to have detection by then. Likewise, most P's don't warp in 3 DT's at once because they expect a turret at the natural of Terran. It seems as though Jinro must have been pretty confident that choya was going for a specific, non-DT build and felt safe to skip detection.

And if Jinro had done any pressure he would have killed him, how is that not cheesy?

"Gosh I hope he wont poke at me for ages so I can get DTs up KEKEKEKKE"


Isn't that Idra's gameplan every single game? I guess he is cheesy now as well. Risk =/= cheese


No it's probably considered cheese because them DTs HAD to do serious damage or win the game outright or he probably would have lost.

Yeah, it was flimsy. Jinro won the macro game convincingly and then Choya went for cheesy rushes two games in a row. If Jinro had a scan saved up or made an engineering bay he would have held it off and the game would have gone on.


Not sure that a scan would've been enough in game 3... Choya just has to split DTs and Jinro is still screwed. Really needed an engineering bay there. Guess hindsight is always great but if you're in his shoes with no idea what's going on, a lot tougher call.

Cheesy rushes once, maybe, but a Voidray expand isn't cheese, and we see DT expands often and it's not an all-in (cheesy as it may be), if Terran kills the DTs Choya still is on equal bases and similar armies.

DTs are actually a really good choice on that map. Usually the problem with DT expands is that you have no army; however, that map has a great natural that aids in defender's advantage. I don't know why people are criticizing Choya for the VR allin in game 2.. Jinro was fixing to do an allin as well.

You wonder why people don't like the VR allin when it did so much damage that Jinro was forced to do a allin himself? Choya just did a allin while Jinro was basicly forced to because there was no way to really come back from the damage that Choya did.

G2 and G3 were awful games, but it was due to Jinros weak play. G2 "map imbalance and cheesy play"? Come on, Jinro was 1-basing 1-1-1, Choya was 3-gate stargate pressuring into an expo.

DT's don't win the game, unpreparedness loses it.

I dislike choya's play, have since he popped up and went 2 base collosus every single game. But that doesn't mean I hate him.

Actually it sounds like choya's been doing a pretty good job as a coach and a manager, which I think is his main role with fOu/FXO.
