The stylists for the GSL should stop making DoA's hair a pyramid, it looks better this way imo.

You can either win 1k now, or 30k later, using the same strategy that may be figured out if you use it now.

Ok so I would rather get 1k now + money later then not getting 30k later and however much you get for how far you get.
When I think of something else, something will go here

Costs too much gas. Mutas, banes, and infestors are pretty important.

That and Terrans only need minerals, and they usually have more minerals than they know what to do with.

There's a button for vods so I believe so, and as all previous ipl vods have been free I'm assuming these will as well.

MC used that no Gas FE and he used it in WCG so obviously he thinks its a good build.


I shouldn't say 'real' strategies. I mean im sure people have sick builds planned for tournament play that they don't want to release right now. They will obviously play their builds everyone knows about. I guess I just miss the drama of having games that have a real consequence.

If MC wins MLG Orlando I'll buy another TL shirt and eat it.

Come on it's not that far fetched lol. Only person there that you would absolutely not think MC would beat atm is probably Bomber but he chokes all the time so who knows?

Puma

You mean the guy that just got 3-0ed by Idra? :DDD I know it's adiff matchup but still.

You mean the guy that has a 7-3 record against MC?

PuMa is favored obviously but I don't think it's "I'll eat my shirt" worthy.

I do. MC played well, but he has a lot of work to do and his MLG Orlando group is ridiculous. The only game I see him for sure winning is against Tyler. July, Huk and Hero all can beat him.


I bet a shirt on it, this is not a matter I take lightly, I seriously doubt MC's ability to perform well enough to win Orlando over the other Koreans invited to the event and some of the top foreigners.

completely agree. its much more likely that MC goes 1-3 in his group rather than 4-0.

No MC is favored against everyone in that group except maybe july but even him he is like 8-1. MC still has the best pvp winrate and he 2-0ed huk. Hero is kind of ? in PvP but I doubt he's better than MC.

Hero, Huk, and July have all been playing at a higher level recently. Huk has beaten MC before (Homestory Cup). If MC can lose to Monster, he can lose to July. And Hero is just a damn good player and knows MC very well. I wouldn't really say he is favored with his play as of late. Ryung is the only player at the level of Huk, Hero or July, but he is a TvT specialist and beating him in a TvP isn't that special.

So you missed Stephano saying that he does not care if people watch his stream and see his strategies?

Because there only like 5 standard ones anyway, there is not much to hide. At least not for a zerg.

Or... you could be good enough to win both?

Assuming you're going to win the entire tournament is just foolish. A simple mismicro can lose you the championship game. Take your money when you can, especially for the Koreans.

My ass. We've seen zergs lose so many games because they faced a terran army with better upgrades. Supernova vs DRG anyone?

Because with 10 gaz and 100 drones, it's hard to afford a 100/100 upgrade obviously. You need your 7th base for that :D

2:00 - Ret reveals position with overlord and takes his hatch first, and gas before pool.
3:30 - Ryung builds his factory directly in the wall. Not adding a reactor to his rax.
4:10 - Ryung throws down second CC while Ret getting speed and 2 queens.
4:40 - Ryung getting a starport and a tech lab on the rax.

...So players only have one strategy per match-up? Is that how pro-gaming works? Is that how pros get ready for tournaments?

Stop it, please. You're like the tenth person to make this ignorant statement (to say that this bracket means literally nothing) and it's annoying.

Alive and MC just raped everyone in their brackets. That doesn't mean that they're going to automatically get roflstomped and *figured out*.

So what do you suggest? Fight marines with well upgraded zerglings and less tech?

What I don't get is, why didn't he relentlessly drop Ret's main? It's so close.


Yeah, I was wondering that very thing myself.

Now that I think of it, he and MMA have a little rivalry going, maybe he wants to develop his own style?

Hero and Huk havent really been playing better overall, and certainly not in PvP because we never see that. Huk just lost to alive and stephano. lost in assembly groups. lost in IEM cologne groups. Hero lost to thorzain in quite a silly fasion.
