The following is a list of behaviors that will get immediate bans:
1. Whining about stream
2. Bashing other games
3. Flaming other users
4. Bashing players
5. Complaining about imbalance
Basically just be respectful. Aside from that, enjoy the games, make sure you bring an umbrella and have some delicious waffles! (#) |
I was just going to mention this... Or what about a good 4 gate attack? Even though it would def. be a blind counter of sorts. I dunno. It just shows that the 1/1/1 is very versatile if the toss player does not aggro VR/4gate early on.
And i'm happy that Puma showcased the 1/1/1 again, because it was very exciting to see how Kiwi would respond. For those talking about y he walked into the siege tanks, it didn't matter if Kiwi attacked then or later because siege tanks is a main component of the 1/1/1 attack. He might have wanted to take Puma off his gaurd?
Eh, who knows. I am excited about how Kiwi did the mass stalkers/collusus push. THAT is awesome! If he had sprinkled a couple immortals into his game 2 mix he may have won that. Game 2 he def. should have won though! I mean, he was up the WHOLE game and made a blunder by allowing the drops as well as the gold base going up... But it's not as if Puma didn't make any mistakes... He supp. blocked himself the whole game it seemed. It def. shows that Puma is a great player, but I've new found respect for Kiwi because of his performance in the tourny so far. Before I'd hear a lot of praise for him, and now I know why.

Or you'd be a fan of someone confident enough in their macro skills that they know they'll win either way, so they do it in the way that doesn't require a drop in fanbase and in interest.

MVP would more than likely pull it off better than Puma. I dislike the 1/1/1. It's broken. I don't abuse it when I play. I play straight up. I could use it and do extremely well but what's the point? It's like cheating to get infinite items in a game. It's boring. It's stupid. And it's broken. Lol you complain too much, Kiwi needed to stall for time and he didnt do that. Stalling is not the answer, because as you stall, terran gains an eco lead and makes more marines, which makes immortals and phoenixes ineffective lol wat, how does terran get an eco lead? u have guardian shield + mass zeal immortal, ur immortals tank the 1st few tank shots while ur zealots get close to the marines, ur phoenix is are taking the banshees out and once theres no banshee threat u lift the tanks leaving the marines exposed, the more kiwi stalled the more time he would have had to get more immortals + phoenixs out cus of chrono boost while pumping 4 zeals at a time.. its extremely defendable if u execute everything perfectly Plz inform MC/Alicia etc. Actually no, you're just wrong. You stall that long and you'll be dealing with a gigantic marine ball with no aoe. That's impossible to do. ok well every terran should just 1-1-1 and have a 100% winrate in tvp if theres no way of defending it.. LOL wtf are u trying to get at?
Er the whole reason people complain is that their winrate pretty much is 100% when they get a map they can use it on.
There's a reason Protoss PvT winrate in Korea is at 38% and dropping.

Hm, SeleCT has a better score overall but DongRaeGu gets the first spot cause he beat him (but fell to TricKsteR)? Seems a little off to me and it actually makes quite a difference. But oh well, MLG rules have always been a bit controversial. nothing controversial about it at all, just because the korean made it in doesn't make it unfair.
Agreed. In what way is a head to head tiebreaker controversial....

From MVP interview: Q: You've said some things about Terran balance on Twitter recently. (laughs)
A: 1-1-1 is very strong. Because it has a lot of applications, it's really powerful. It's extremely difficult for Protoss. Even though it's really strong, I've rejected the 1-1-1 and don't use it in my games. (laughs) Fans have a lot of different reactions to the 1-1-1, but players can't help it. Don't progamers have to win? You have to understand how important it is. [T/N unsure on this last sentence, sorry. seems like MVP admits it is strong but thinks fan backlash is a little too harsh]Must be fun being wrong I guess. Actually you're wrong. In a different statement before that MVP did say anyone who uses it should be disqualified. I've said anyone that thinks [insert obligatory political statement opposite of my own here because I don't want to derail the thread] should die in a fire. It's called exaggeration.
The point is that MVP still thinks the build is imba and doesn't know of a good way for toss to counter it. No one is suggesting that he's serious lol

can anyone explain to me why incontrol is still #9 seed?
if i remember it right he got 0-5'd in pool play at the last 3 MLGs (including this event)

No, you're being crazy now. You might as well ban all cheese. It isnt going to happen and players that never use it even once in a while are one dimensional and usually subpar.

Can we stop talking about that 111 please. If a fucking code s spot was on the line I would 111 the shit out of every protoss to get it.

Except when they brought up the income tab protoss had nearly twice the income... Terran had an eco lead all game long until the last 60 seconds of the game where Puma pulled his scvs and last time I checked terrans mineral dump is way better than the protoss mineral dump.

I really do not understand. because after the 20 second warpgate nerf 2 rax is guarunteed to force a cancel on the nexus or kill it and then its basically free win for terran, search for why Koreans think the 1/1/1 is imbalanced thread. I'm pretty sure 1 gate FE into 3 gates can hold any 2 rax. I'm pretty sure you are just plain wrong. Maybe on taldarim, but not on any other map. Huk did it vs MKP on XNC link? iirc that wasn't a 2rax by MKP.
I might have remember it wrong but it was game 7

Day9 opened the income tab breifly right before the kiwi/ puma engage. Puma had roughly 400 minerals per minute income and kiwi was up at the standard 800 for 1 base. No reason not to delay longer, i don't care how good marine dps is if you have that big of an income lead for long enough your army will get incrementally bigger than his.
It doesn't matter how much your army gets bigger because you'll just be making more zealots for his marines to chew through. They won't ever actually do anything to his marines. You HAVE to have aoe to stop a huge marine ball, and if you stall he'll end up with a huge one and you'll have no aoe.

doesnt the rules say no imbalance whining?
the last 20 pages are basically about 111 being "totally" imba and Puma being the worst man on earth.
The funny thing is that most people crying here are probably diamonds, lolz
yeah, but people are also discussing what kiwi should have done to make it a better engagement as well. Anytime someone wins with 1-1-1, theres gonna be rage and QQ. Dont blame puma for doing it, but as MVP said, its not pleasing to the fans, which is why puma has significantly less fans that alot of top koreans (DRG, mvp, mma, etc etc.)
and anyways, dont assume people are diamonds just because they are speaking the truth? im high masters.
