2GD is by far the best host I've ever seen. Dreamhack doing good work for ESPORTS.

Still saying T-Zain vs NaNi finals. HerO showed how to play ZvP but no zerg for him in semis!

Also- like Appolo said- there is no air- why not spread overlords so u can see the freaking drops incoming after the first couple happened

I know they had huk and jinro inside the house to notice him, but still, they picked him up right as he exploded in the scene (or he exploded in the scene because they picked him up). I mean, his korean TLPD was fucking awful, and now his int TLPD is bonjwa-like (not that he is one, please don't make a 20 pages debate because I used that word) with all matchups over 70%.
Someone from TL said that they wanted him since some months, but it didn't happen for some reasons.

why isnt the spoilers updated?? -_-

Hero really played absolutely brilliantly, but still I think Idra made too many mistakes for player with his ego. Still I am very happy that we have our first high level protoss win from a while.
|
hero truly shows how warp prism should be used.
I love all the protoss that used to tell me how bad protoss drops were. Hopefully they can learn a thing or two from Hero.
That is to be open minded to new strats

This. Hero definitely outplayed IDra. Idra is prob used to NA toss who dont do this kind of multitasking. But with the kind of metagame shift we probably will see in the future zerg players will have to play pvz more like tvz. This means spreading overlords out, building crawlers at each base ( idra was at 200/200, had 4k+ minerals, knew hero had warp prisms, and yet did not consider massing crawlers at each base?).
|
Idra had an absurdly advantage and still lost it... I just can't believe it... WTF WAS THAT HERO IDRA MUST BE CRYING LOL completely owned, like an amateur

Will ANYONE bring up the fact that Idra has horrible unit control? He wasted about 9 infestors for NO reason. Idra killed himself more than Hero killing Idra in game 2.

Because he loves idra amongst other reasons Yeah Total Biscuit sounds like a complete Idra fanboy. TB hates IdrA, they have a sour relationship. He's just trying too hard not to let his bias get in the way of his casting, which is a noble thing.

That game was disgusting
Disgustingly good by HerO oooh my god I am actually speechless, this guy's PvZ is so good, I bet you he's gonna love the warp prism buff

my understanding is that most of them can speak some english but they wont speak it because they think its bad (And maybe it is) so they dont do it

As a Protoss player but a huge Idra fan, Idra had a very good chance to win if he went into July Zerg mode after the DT harass failed, but he decided to try and "get more ahead" and Hero took advantage of this.
Most other Zerg players (especially July) would have attempted to end the game after the failed DT harass, and most of the time it goes to Game 3.

But Hero also played great, he got many Feedbacks of where another Fungal would've been game deciding.
And I like how he goes for that much Zealots, a unit which most Protoss (including me) didn't want to use in PvZ because it sucks to be maxed on them.
|
It's amazing how much HerO has performed since his recruitment by Liquid.
He gets into Code A through the GSL qualifiers He places 6th at MLG He bossed all over Idra with interesting warp prism builds
|
Could the IdrA fanboys stop whining? HerO had better multitasking than IdrA and used that to pick IdrA apart. It has nothing to do with balance obviously, zerg is doing extremely well in the MU as Im sure you know.
Edit: and btw, if IdrA used those 4k minerals to mass spines it would kind of counter that wouldnt it?
