Can someone please explain Slush's TvZ style we've seen at this MLG?

- Basically no creep spread
- Double roach warren but doesn't timing attack when upgrade(s) finish, seems to be enough time for both roach upgrades to finish from one warren
- No attack/armor upgrades until very late
- No transition to hive
- No capacity for pressure
- No macro (Rain takes both his 3rd and 4th before Slush)

I'm a Terran player, but I don't understand how this style can win, or what it is supposed to achieve.



bad player is bad...maybe


Bad poster is bad and misinformed... maybe

He wins by the Terran not realising he is massing up roaches. It is a massive gamble. Pretty bad build though. He is a hugely overrated player. Finishing high up in old MLGs wasn't hard yo.


lawl.

he beat naniwa and moon last mlg. both of them are top players.

nobody in NA except idra and huk can even dream to beat those 2 in a lan series.

I believe he placed 5th @ last MLG as well? Behind the Koreans & IdrA afaik. He isn't overrated imo, at least I never see him get any credit, while he definitely deserves some.

Wouldn't say overrated but I'd say he benefited a lot from the absurd amounts of ZvZ in Columbus.

I do have to say, MC makes every tournament more exciting. I'm a little underwhelmed this MLG.

IdrA vs SjoW (+1.5) for Match. 1.704

Means that he only needs to take one game from idra , ( as he has a handicap of +1,5 games )
so as long es he losses 1:2 its a win for me
