Na, but when Naniwa meets ThorZain in the finals maybe.


Ret is better than ThorZaIN in ability, he just hasn't shown it as much because he was in korea for the 1st half of the games release and wasn't that happy so he wasn't motivated.

CLOSE POS WTF BLIZZARD!!!!!

Why hit 200/00 with 6 hatches if you plan on just sitting with your thumb in your bum?

Ret losses a won game, shame really because his macro is terrifying.

You can't give Naniwa a sliver of a chance.

Come oh, he wanted to attack at a good timing, but his infestors got owned.


Exactly, Ret was moving to attack with a huge roach/hydra/infestor/ling push at an excellent timing, but Nani sniped out several infestors as he crossed the map making him delay the push, then sniped a further 2 infestors back when they spawned. It was awesome delay tactics and good use of constant map presence with his air units that allowed him to stall out till he had a more fearsome army, while Ret was stuck being maxed out on a composition meant for an aggressive trade and not a defensive engagement.

Naniwa should just pylon block his ramp. Take the easy win. Do it.

What is with all the whining again?
What is so difficult about accepting that one player controlled his units better than the other?

Phoenix Collosus Voidray Blink Stalker the new deathball? Those phoenix were awesome, I think Ret should've abused his timing window to kill naniwa better and fungaled those phoenix before they got to graviton beam the infestors.

Astoundingly good player from Nani from Mid into Late Game.


Really? He just turtled and a-moved a deathball. Ret just fucked up massively by staying on roach/hydra all game. Didn't get the spire untill Hive was done and didn't have broods or corruptor out untill the end.


Oh get the fuck out. Naniwa was way behind and managed to make a miracle comeback with stalling tactics and some incredible Phoenix micro. Sniping off those Infestors was what won him the game.

A-move deathball? What the fuck ever.


Sniping 3 units should not win the game. Sorry. Also even if Ret had those infestors, I doubt it would've mattered. The army of Nani's just beats T2 zerg, and nani hit the timing right inbetween roach hydra and broodlords. This was just an example of nani exploiting a zerg's weakness. Decent game, but not a miracle...


Sniping those 3 Infestors alone didn't win the game but it was the turning point. Ret was on his way to go kill Nani but without those Infestors the attack couldn't possibly work so he had to turn around.


Ret wouldn't have killed him with those 3 infestors, Nani had forcefields and colossi, those even up a 40 supply lead from ret pretty easily.

The 3 infestor snipe really didn't matter at all. Nani would have held the push regardless in defensive position and in the last battle 3 infestor wouldnt have made the difference either. He simply didn't have any air units in time. Either need corruptor or broods to deal with the maxed out P or maybe mass banedrop.
