what should he go?


More roach heavy and either use infestors for fungels or corruptors. Either are better then going hydra (he couldn't afford that many infestors due to making so many hydra). Roaches don't die as fast either.


definitely disagree. you NEED hydras vs. phoenix. phoenix rape infestors unless you get some good fungals off and have quite a few infestors. spire tech was a far ways away

oh wait the TL high council doesn't approve


If you don't build 90 workers you are not good for TL standards.

But ofc if you build 90 probes then it's lame protoss deathball imba.

wow now elfi has to go "normal game". He is not playing this for the money, but for the respect of Zooper31 on TeamLiquid.net. Seriously who the f*** cares about the money anyways!


Is it really so much to ask for a player not to all-in every single game in the finals? I feel like that is like the smallest thing to ask for as a spectator.


I feel like they shouldn't care about that and should instead focus on winning. See PuMa vs MC at Cologne.

I wish you knew what you were talking about.

I wish you knew what you were talking about. Mass phoenix destroy hydras, as you saw in that game. Queens, spores, and corruptors fair much better. and go roach for the zealots.

Players should play to win. If they do anything else, they're dumb. They're not here for spectators. They're here to win.

Hydras are light units and are easily picked off by phoenix.

No it really wasn't. It was a legitimate strat from a really good player.

all good strategies are abusive. that's simply the fact of the game. abusive play = good play.


This needs to be repeated.

You don't abuse = either you're a bad player, or you're full of pride, or you're just showing off

Isn't Elfi on a basically all zerg team? I wonder if they help him. He should have solid PvZ


He has said that his PvZ is not good, and to be honest, it doesn't look that solid either. Neat two-base "all-ins" though.

It was a very awesome strategy from Elfi but it would have been extremely sick if he would have expanded on top of it.

Where should he go then? Mutas? Roach counter attack?

Corruptors are pretty bossmode against phoenix


LOL. And how would you deal with the ground forces?

Ive seen korean pro's like july go corrupter muta against pheonix's, and with the new found popularity of mutas in the matchup i think that would be fairly legit, and then once you get a few bases up get a few infestors on the ground and once you lock them down the corrupters chew them up.

Are you really that retarded? He plays to win and if he thinks he will win this series with allins, why should he change his style? Only to fulfill the desire of some spectators?
