Why's the hall so empty ?


Because no one wants to watch cheesy overpowered Terran all ins.

What was so overpowered there? SeleCT went for a 4 rax rush against nexus first. Killer holding that off would've been overpowered. If a terran goes CC first on the low ground, and dies to a 4 gate rush/baneling bust, would you be whining about imbalance?


Do you have any idea why a professional, intelligent sc2 player would do this kind of risky build three times in a row blindly? If he didn't do it, he would have 100% lost to 1-1-1 terran all in. that's why he had to blindcounter it, otherwise it would have been straight up 2-0 for terran


Get ur head out of ur ass. Killer actually won the game where SeleCT went for the 1-1-1. Impossible to counter? I think not.

Let him revel in all the QQ he wants. Whatever keeps you sane right?

Killer said he figured 15 nexus was ok because he'd be all right as long as Select didn't find him 1st with the SCV scout but unluckily he did find him 1st twice.

His overly excited commentary really was quite bad tbh, I much prefer the players coming in and casting .
It appears I have been chosen.

yes, because he went nexus first. with any other build you lose. period.


Which is so weird, a week ago people were saying you had to absolutely go 1 base fast collosi to hold it off, and fast expand automatically meant you lost.

I don't think the Select v Killer game showed anything. Killer won it because he was able to delay the push.....that's all you have to do vs 1-1-1. Delay it and you win.

According to TL twitter. So... are these games played at IEM as well in a different, sort of, open bracket or something?

I think those tweets are still from Assembly. These players aren't even at IEM iirc, except mana maybe.

I'd rather have that they ban all the retards who can't follow a few simple rules.

Isn't the average TL player in diamond league or something? I'm surprised that people are criticising Select's play...marine-scv allin is an appropriate reaction to the nexus first...

As much as I have followed whats been said about the 1-1-1 (and seen myself in the GSL), there are absolutely ways to counter it that does not come down to a nexus first. If Killer is limited to this strategy only, then its his own fault and its not a surprise that he lost.

This isn't completely true. Puzzle won against it in GSTL with 1 gate expo. I agree that you need an early expo, and its easier with nexus first, but its not 100% required. (I'm protoss and I fucking hate that all in, btw).

I wonder if DieStar's English is not so good or is he just sooo nervous. Well, I would've preferred if he spoke Polish
