The xelnaga fortress game was clutch play after clutch play after clutch play from Oz. I rewatched all the protosses code A runs multiple times to take notes for an eventual pimpest play (because there were lot of pimp plays in those games ^^) and in that game he was really on top of everything. (by the way, making that pimpest play just a day before the last 2 GSTL days was despressing, protoss play in GSTL was so sick that it made some of the clutch plays not so clutch on comparison :D)

Would you rather have the BW magic box to stack Mutas for BW muta micro, or would you have SC2 magic box to spread Mutas against spash attacks? Just a thought.

Genius would beg to differ that Sage makes no mistakes. =P

His forcefields in that game on XNF were so on point. Like literally every one was picture perfect.
Didn't realise you'd gone ahead and made a pimpest play video, when will you post it? =)

Nothing is impossible. That doesnt sound harder than terran micro at all.

I want both, personally, the more micro opportunities the better
But this isn't really the topic to discuss this really (LR...) t.~

Pro Tip: A-moving with infestors is always auto win. No. Infestors require micro just like defilers...... wait wrong game sorry. I mean zerglings...... no thats A-move. Hmmm..... what other Zerg unit requires micro...... Terran on the other hand need a lot of micro to properly control. Every unit needs quick hands and eyes. I wish terran units were a little stronger to compensate for this.

That's all it takes. On October 03 2011 19:23 Telcontar wrote: Upgrading vehicle weapons is pretty pointless. Thors already do ridiculous damage, and upgrades don't affect hellion vs ling battle much. Thors vs Mutas is heavily dependant on upgrades though. Armour upgrades yes. The splash damage means weapons upgrades aren't really necessary. +2 Thors two shot +0 mutas, and +3 two shot +2 mutas. I'd say that's pretty fucking relevant. It kinda feels weird that this series was 3-0. It feels like one of the closest series in a long time, yet it's already over. Sure it helps, but this is the thing: A lot of zergs completely stop muta production as soon as they see mass thors (as Curious did for a while). Getting weapons upgrades because there's a chance that he doesn't, is flimsy and dangerous. It's much safer and smarter to get those armour upgrades. Except that hellions also benefit from weapon upgrades when BBQing drones or fighting banelings. And once you have a handful of vikings out, he's gonna have to tech switch out of Broodlords. He can go muta or ultra, then weapon upgrades are actually awesome.
Armor upgrades are kinda cool when your thors are in low number with scv repair and infestors are unlikely, but I think the spirit of the mech build lies with the weapon upgrades. Going for the initial +1 armor and then going for weapon upgrades sounds good too, considering the +1 upgrade is fast and cheap, and by the time you start a +2, you usually have decent numbers, at which point weapon upgrades seem better.

This is similar to what I was originally thinking along with idra mentioning "People think marine splitting is hard I just did that with mutas"(can't remember the situation though) but I think it's just not a discussion that belongs in the thread so I apologize for bringing it up.

Are the GSTL finals held at another venue instead of Mokdong studio?

Oh god I hope they have them in an actual arena, that will be so much better and the team league really deserves to go cap off its first season in style. Then again whenever things are held outside the studio the finals suck so maybe for the sake of good games it should stay there...
=p

For now I watched all the games a lot of times and noted the timestamps.

Now let's find out if Daybreak can also make PvPs awesome.

This magic box discussion doesn't make any sense. All air units can "magic box", it's just the overall mechanic to keep them from acting like ground units and stacking. You can't just "remove" that from the game, so the discussion *should* be "should Thors have their splash range increased?". The answer of course is "no".

Quite strange that they haven't announced it even though its in less than a week. Will be quite disappointing if it were only held in the studio .

Yeah if he goes immortal heavy he might have a problem :p Altho JYP was doing voidray openings followed by hidden expo's. Don't see Sage taking those kind of risks vs Oz.
