easy enough - he would never do that twice in a row, right? or he simply didn't know the correct response to the specific varation he ran into ... happens...

I see a lot of complaining about the 1 1 1 TvP build. What do the 1 1 1 produce? does someone have a link/build order for me? I wanna try it
|
So here is a more important question whose looking forward to the moletrap returning to cast in the GSL!?!?!?! :O!!!!
|
no worries JYP will take out DRG
|
tails. protoss are getting a good whooping.
|
wow that 1:1:1 is pretty scary and will completely take off on the ladder very soon, i fear.
I need to get back to the lab and work out a counter...

He lost in the GSTL to 2 port banshee and it looks like the same thing happened here. Maru must be better than what we saw. He is incredibly young, I bet nerves got to him.
Let me clarify: The first game, it was a cloakshee rush off 1base that I actually scouted and just didn't react to. Stupid by me. The second game was a macro game where I killed him after opening pool first because he tried to do 11-11 proxy rax cheese, and the third game was close-air shattered where he 2-ported me. I was really dissapointed, because I should've won game 1, since I >Scouted< the cheese, just didn't react to it.
Maru obviously deserved to win, well.. because he won. It doesn't matter how you win, if you win. x_x;
RE-Edit: Shoutout to NaviSlaviK, who was there watching my games and helped me calm down after the first game.

I watched your games in the GSTL and you obviously have talent and lots of passion! Keep doing what you're doing, I like your attitude a lot. Best of luck! Hope to see you in Code A sometime soon.

Damn how can FruitDealer lose every up&down match but win against Maru? I guess I should not be confident in one of the youngest players, nerves are hard to deal with and TvZ is hard too :/. Dunno why I bet on Anypro, I even have JYP on fantasy team :x expected more from ex code S player
|
Anypro, a former Ro4 GSLer. is now down to B.

Wait what? Why would anyone want MC to be doing badly? MC is awesome?!

good to see that fruit is still being dealt in the GSL

He wants that so that way it'll show the game at the highest levels is broken in TvP with not even the best protosses are even able to do anything (not saying I believe it of course, but wanted to clarify).
If it becomes too obvious and there are almost no protoss around, GSL has to introduce protoss favored maps or at least maps where the 1-1-1 build is impossible to execute effectively.

Even if there was an imbalance, which I don't think there is, I would still want MC to dominate face like the epic nerd baller that he is. It just feels like Brotoss betrayal to wish ill upon him. MC fighting imbalance one Penix at a time!

I mean, not that any of their losses here were "upsets" per se, Im, not crying imba--but it is notable that the only Toss with a win was playing a mirror match. Not really if you look at the match ups it makes perfect sense.... Inca vs DRG comon... Ganzi vs Van the only one that coulda gone either way was Trae vs Tails What do you mean? I've never even heard of the Trae guy, and Tails is known to be good. So if anything I'd think Tails had the edge there in expectations. Ganzi vs Van, I have seen Van play before and he's pretty damn solid... So I think that would be the one that's a tossup. Why are people talking about a Trae? I wasn't on the forums when these games were live, did I miss something? Tails played Taeja, who's pretty well-known around these parts.

MARU NOOOOOOO Glad to see that DRG beat Inca though, that matchup was brutal.

It was only brutal on one end. A person who has won one televised PvZ ever against an inconsistently good zerg, vs one of the top ranked zergs in the whole world....
