Viking positioning was off, and strelok didnt even try to dodge the storms....

Strelok is the better player, but that engagement at elfi's third was awful.

Seems like both are affected by nerves :x Hope we can see a few more games between the two, followed by a solid finish.

unstoppable? Really? Soo many sloppy mistakes.... Don't get me wrong he is good and can be beastly, but that last game was just sloppy.

He has been around in the european scene. But didn't make a huge impact until he beat Nada at Assembly and then qualified for both IEMs.

Are you seriously going to balance whine, against toss no less, after an engagement where the Terran completely failed to emp and then stood all his units under storms until they died? Really?


Exactly, he didnt even moved his army out of the storms, also the huge EMP fail that hit like 2or3 zealots? No way he could win that fight. Crying imbalance over that fight is just silly.

Strelok had Elfi on macro, but his amry control lost him the game. Too bad, I was looking forward to better play from Strelok.

What you said makes sense, except you don't really micro vikings, you just shift focus all the colossi.(which really isn't time consuming)


Yeah you have to have the kite the vikings out of the storm and try to come in on a side angle. Also storm dodge your bio, try to emp the templars coming in from the back, set up tanks, and kite. It's really difficult to micro a bio/tank/viking when there's AoE out on the field. At the same time Toss has it's own positioning issues so don't take what I'm saying as about balance. They have to dodge make sure not to get blanket emp'd but in the end there's a reason you don't see heavy bio-tank army.

It actually just blows to any form of AoE, because the AoE just destroys the bio and leaves the tanks vunerable to die, because if you kite the storms/collusi your tanks die (and you need a lot of tank volleys to really make a difference). 1-1-1 tank timings were good because they exploited toss before they could get collusi/templar.
RIP GOMTV. RIP PROLEAGUE.

Yeah have fun doing that when all your vikings die in 2 storms


Have fun not being able to storm in the first place because your HT got EMP'd.

We can play this game all day long...

There is not agrument- terran is really strong, and in small/ medium groups is better.
But in true max army Toss has a huge micro advantage
Terran Micro:
dogging storms
Sieging tanks
Emps/snipes
Vikings targeting
Stimming
Kitting with bio

Toss micro-
place couple good storms
FF
make sure zealots and archons ar einfront
Dodge EMP


Wayyyy less to do.
Thus- equal skill- max army- toss win
So.. this Earth, nice planet you might say- WRONG!!

He usually looks way better. He destroyed NASL S1 but couldnt go to the finals because of Visa issues.

Dude, i'm not really judging. I meant that it hasn't been impressive SO FAR. I bet he has been playing pretty impressive and well if he went 6-0 in the group stages, and not to forget Dimaga. But it's going to be hard whoever advances, especially when it most likely comes down to playing Puma/JYP. And with this play Elfi is playing right now, i doubt he has chances against player like Puma.

But we've seen both players playing very sloppy today, so might be nerves, might be tiredness who knows.

which is why when the skill level goes to the point where terran can do those things and protoss is left with nothing to do with micro the terran starts winning like we see in GSL
