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


You don't need hydra's vs it. You can't rely on hydra/ling when he's going zealot/phoenix. We saw the same game hydra's got rolled due to how good phoenix are vs them.
When I think of something else, something will go here

No FFE for Toss, my guess is a 4gate all-in...

Protoss can do more than 2base and 1 base all ins. Maybe he's just playing safe now, which would be smart.

Tagging a playstyle as "abusive" and shunning it is just unproductive. The Koreans definitely don't think that way.

It's all in the game. There is no abuse.

really? mvp said on his twitter that they should make a rule where you are DQ'ed if you 1-1-1. hes a terran and even he thinks its abusive.

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.

You do realize that his push was triggerd by the scouted quick 3rd by idra - go spread your hate equally among the players

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


Yes winning is all that matters but if they want to keep any kind of fanbase they have to have real games and not be a BitByBit.

genius build order. even if it gets scouted, how would you stop it?

He saw the double stargate, but I don't think he saw all those gateways after the mass pheonix follow up w/ the warpgate. The only thing elfi could afford was phenoix and zealots. similar to a 7gate all in, just build a lot of spines, and a lot of lings.

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

Not mutas,either corrupters or roaches with mass expanding and lots of spores.A toss wants you to go hydra against mass phoenix


And then you have this useless unit that can't kill anything because they won't go colossus....

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


So 1-1-1 isn't legit but this is? They're both fine strats, but they're both all-ins. Nothing wrong with all-ins but call a spade a spade.

I've never complained about 1-1-1. All ins take a certain finesse to stop. You can't keep failing against breaking the all-in and expect to win.
SC:BW has a higher skill ceiling than SC2? SC 64 is where it's at brah.

Elfi really needs to work on his unit control, so many times he had idle units.
But that is scary that he can still win with those mistakes, with some more training it will be terrifying!


Play Protoss -> make mistakes and beat a player with 3x better mechanics.

lol. you kill the warp prism. you have units there while toss is warping in units. you don't let a warp prism warp 2 sets of units in your base uncontested when you know it's coming, just like you don't let a terran drop all his marines and marauders for free.

If someone goes for a greedy game and gets only economy and techs without any fighting units whatsoever, there is no reason not to attack. It's called doing the right stuff and that wins you the game, blame it on IdrA if he loses to that stuff.

You attack when you can, and if you see that he doesn't have anything to defend, you don't just go and expand and risk the game, you just outright kill him. Elfi did that and had success because IdrA didn't react properly.

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

Yea thats the one thing i didnt like, but in all fairness at some points idra was so close to holding it off, elfi was wallking a thin line there for a bit and an expand could have turned it around , if he could end it there he may as welll have because almoost definitely he would have been pushed back if he expanded, he was transitioning out of it with collosus though and if he expanded as well he could have built up collosus at home and come back and raped all those hydras, but why would he want to extend a game that he could most likely win right there, extending it just gives him more chances to make mistakes and lose.

stop crying stupid bitches, just accept the fact that you dont have to have best mechanics to play sc2 in top level. Good strategies and very good decision making is enough.
