Come on Strelok. Stop with the weird reactor hellion shenanigans and try mass marines/tanks. I wanna see how it works with the new patch.

Well I dont understand the Hellion openings we've been seeing a lot of lately. I guess I can see it on TD Altar cause its so big, but I feel like I haven't really seen this work yet. Crappy first game right there but a win is a win


If Elfi went 1gate expo those hellions could run around in his base forever. Stalkers take forever to kill hellions and Terran gets off full scouting and some probe kills. But it obviously is realllllllly weak in the start.

Ah ok I see. So it basically works off the assumption that Toss is fast expanding and cant deny the early harass... kind of like the way Strelok just lost lol.

He had full scouting, even on the slightly delayed gas timing. He defnitely suspected what was happening.

wtf FE into double hellions ? He think Protoss is that fragile in early game or what? Zealot isn't Zerglings man


It sees a lot of use on Tal'Darim because of how wide the ramps are, you can get hellions into the main and be a real nuisance for the Toss. He just played excessively greedy and was punished by Elfi.

Sweet. A finals where they wont get obscene amounts of time to prepare for. It should produce good games hopefully.

Elfi chrono'd out the first stalker. A greedy toss opening early expo stalker would be later and the hellions would be out in time. Strelok didn't realize how fast Elfi was getting out that stalker, and even once he saw the first stalker he didn't know there was a 4gate behind it. Smart play by Elfi.

Dude, one scv got killed by the stalker so he saw that in plenty of time. What was he expecting next? Almost all good Protoss gonna poke in with a stalker to see the situation. He might have lost to the 4 gate anyway but not to have that 1st bunker up is inexcusable for a player of his caliber.

Polt got owned by Killer twice with this build. It's just terrible and too risky.

I understand the reactor hellion opening but marine-tank in TvT o.O. Strelok does know what race he's playing against?

Only 2 koreas left out of 7 in the IEM, and they have to play each other.

So there'll be only 1 in the semi

Elfittaja is playing so sloppy. Not picking out free hellions, double forcefields etc..

Elfi's micro this game is making me facehoof. Hopefully he can get back up to what he was doing in 1set.

Why though - if you noticed by the time the first stalker was there hellions were coming out after the stalker got a few shots off. He might lose a marine to that but it's cheaper then a bunker, which slows down his expansion timing. The hellions can be repaired too so they would drive out that stalker. It was super greedy but it could handle the one stalker poke.
