The DTs did like nothing. He scanned as soon as they got up the ramp. They probably got 3 kills. The icing on the cake was the bunker salvage as soon as Kiwi decides to push.

Indeed. Glad Reign won too. Much more excited to see them play coL next week. Mini vs Kiwi/Spades should be fun :D

EG needs to cut lz, strifecro and axslav (possibly machine too) like right now and up get a decent protoss.
That being said that was an awful set of games.

Puma is unlikely to even play in events like these, he's only going to get flown into major events and paraded around in an EG shirt, but otherwise he'll be in Korea doing his own thing.
It was the same with Idra when he was in Korea for the most part.

You act like when the actual battle happens, the corruptors can get anywhere near the phoenix without being 5-shot by the 10 archons.

Reign takes it easily Strife didn't play badly. And how is massing marines off two bases playing "ok" compared to the others who played "badly"? Edit: two bases
Ok one game from Strife was ok but it was on a heavily zerg favoured map so...

Uh you wouldn't kill his pheonix ball, there's no way you're catching up to pheonix with corrupters. You would simply protect a small area from pheonix harassment. Meanwhile his much faster pheonix would still roam around the map tearing shit up.
Brood Lords? Strifecro didn't have a hive or greater spire yet. Brood lords are ridiculously expensive. Any protoss player who sees corrupters from the zerg would instantly march his ground army into Strifecro's base and there would be nothing he could do. It's not like brood lords magically appear when you want them to.

Spades and Kiwi played phenomenally, give credit where credit is due people, sheesh.
A shame they didn't use Puma though, Slush/Kiwi vs. Puma would be epic

Yeah this is so ridiculous. What in the world would you need 40 food of Corruptors for? 80 Phoenix? At that point you should win anyway because the entire Protoss army comprising of nothing but Phoenix is now nullified...

Spread your corruptors? Keep them behind your other units so they won't be underneath archons? He had 10 archons at the end when he had already easily defended the attacks, the game was over way before then. Before that he had maybe 3-4 archons, and he wasn't even keeping his upgrades up.

I say facts. If you see it as whine, then you are predisposed to thinking truth about zerg is whining.
Corruptors do belong in an army against counter archon phoenix zealot.

He could have thrown 10 corruptors into his mix instead of just pure maxing hydra and those battles would have been a lot closer and he would have thinned the pheonix numbers. Protoss isn't zerg, they take a much bigger hit if they lose a crucial part of their army. If you followed the game, Strifecro had a huge economic lead until he lost 3 massive engagements in a row that weren't even close and then he couldn't remax a 3rd time. So either right now you're saying going mass hydra like he did was a good idea, or there is literally nothing zerg can do against mass pheonix. Roach Infestor or Roach corruptor into Broodlords would have dealt with it decently.

Congrats to Reign, well deserved.
Just curious, isn't it a bad idea to start out a format like this with your best player?

Reign takes it easily Strife didn't play badly. And how is massing marines off two bases playing "ok" compared to the others who played "badly"? Edit: two bases Ok one game from Strife was ok but it was on a heavily zerg favoured map so...
Bel'Shir is literally the only map in the standard pool where what StrifeCro did in that game would ever work.
Future lost that game when he decided to expand instead of all-inning off of 2 base. Well, maybe not lost, but he pretty much needed to play perfectly from that point on or StrifeCro needed to screw up or keep his units in a ball (which he obviously didn't).
The map was Strifecro's pick, so obviously he knew exactly what he was going for from the beginning and execute it decently enough.

Axslav is underrated imo. He's one of their better players right behind puma, idra and demuslim.
