Just because Ret was very greedy and had a BO loss doesn't make it a coinflip match-up...

If a protoss went Nexus Nexus gate and lost to early marine pressure would you call it a coinflip?

Hell ZvZ is almost the least coinflippy match-up because both players can see most of the map and it is the match-up with by far the easiest scouting available.

Honestly, the people who say ZvZ is coinflip are either A) People who aren't Zerg. or B) People who aren't very good at ZvZ.


u sure you havent played TvT, scan is rather good for scouting...its a very straightforward macro matchup atm, ZvZ you can straight up die like that very early on like that

ZvZ is coinflip genius.


No it's not.
If you want to play super greedy then sure it can be

15 hatch beats 14 pool, 14 pool beats 10 pool, 10 pool beats 15 hatch, i guess its more like rock-paper-scissors than coinflip


14 pool can beat 15 hatch
15 hatch can beat 10 pool as well

it's all dependent on skill level

which is pretty similar at quarter finals you know... so no, bo wins are pretty often

Only curse stronger is mr chai's but only if there's a huge underdog.

Blizzard needs to nerf the Curse of Artosis next patch for sure, breaking the game. T_T

Yeah it is. Don't just wrap your ass around RetvZ. This is ZvZ in general.

I could go on forever.

Ret is saccing a little bit of econ to go for ling pressure. He forces a spines at luckys batural. Both players throw down bling nests. Ret being a little greedy and spending a production cycle on drones instead of units.

Bah lucky has gotten the right call on coin flip twice in a row.


Not really. Both were good meta-game guesses on his part.

Game 1: He knows Ret is a greedy macro player from watching his games. That Ret would greed on a map like Tal Darim is pretty likely -> 10 pool.

Game 2: He knows that Ret won't likely play greedy again, after losing to his 10 pool in the first game -> hatch first.

What's weird about going harch first that you always have less drones lol, so 14/14 pretty much always mean better eco lol

Casting with @dApollo1337 at 2PM EDT with Puma/MMA, StC/IdrA, Stephano/Inori, and more! #IPL3


Great news. They're by far my favorite combo.

Oh god.. does this imply that HD/Pain will finish off the tournament =[


Eh, it does.. :/ Would MUCH MORE prefere dApollo and Wheat to cast the finals.. The play-by-play, analyzing, knowlegde is just waaaay higher.. But it's ok I guess, have learned to not hate HD/PU this weekend..

I agree, I really like dApollo and Wheat. even though dApollo's game knowledge is probably weaker than PainUser's, dApollo has a really nice way of talking strategy that makes him enjoyable to listen to.


Apollos game knowledge is weaker than Painuser? In what dimension???

What I'm talking about is that PU is a much more accomplished SC2 progamer...but maybe you're right that they both have excellent understanding of the game.

He really isn't though, PU is a masters terran player, apollo is a masters random player, who prides himself on filling up notepads with info about every single player and each of their match ups and their subtle nuances.

Yeah, PainUser is a good Terran player, but Apollo is probably the best analytic caster there is (I'll concede a tie with Artosis - not Day9, who is even greater at analysis, but needs to stop saying "oh no" all the time over Husky/Wheat to reach that level of greatness in casting).

I'm pretty sure a majority of BW fans viewed ZvZ as essentially a conflip matchup until Jaedong started winning 90% of his games while doing crazy shit like defending hatch first vs. 9-pool with sick drone micro.


ZvZ in SC2 is nowhere near as much of a coinflip as it was mid-bw, no idea why people are complaining.

Wow, that explains the extractor trick usage... I really had no idea.

I wasn't paying much attention. what did they say about it?


You get an extra early drone to help defend against when the 6/7 pool hits for that tiny timing.
