Stop with the USA USA chant shit. Further offenses beyond page 493 will be met with bans. You've been warned.
You think MMA, theSTC and Puma are top 3 Terran? What about Bomber, how about MVP?
Oh no, someone doesn't like someone I like, what a hater.[/QUOTE]

When a Zerg all ins its a great play. Always. I don´t know why so many people complain about cheese and all ins, they have always existed, will always exist and it was no different in BW. Some people seem to get PTSD when they get attacked early lol
You comparing 2 saturated bases timing attack with a 11/11 bunker rush?
Don't hate on TheStC. Hate on Blizzard. It's their fault shit like this still works.
You're playing against someone that is notably one of the strongest late game zergs in the world... why wouldn't you do a cheesy build that either wins you the game, or at worst breaks you even with your opponent?
It's retarded to hate on TheStC. Just because he did that doesn't mean he is a trash player that can't play in the lategame (quite the opposite, he is a beast in the late game and very well balanced in all 3 MUs). You do what it takes to win. As long as Blizzard doesn't think of a proper way to prevent 2 rax cheese, Terrans will use it... and rightfully so.

Yep... pretty frustrating.
Then dont hatch first on that map? lol.
thats one of the biggest maps in the game. Idra shouldv went on the xel naga tower when he was scouting. also, stc got cross positions that means hes going to get scouted second on a huge map, which is a big deal.

I don't see how a pro gamer can be this terrible at holding this. It's not easy to hold, but this attempt was truly pathetic.
While I hate the cheese I have to agree with this statement.
except puma isn't the most all-inish terran out there. Especially vs Zerg. He likes late game vZ.
Idra didn't scout the 2 rax until the bunker was being placed down. Only hope he had is to not allow the bunkers at the choke, but when they went down, it was over

Can you honestly say seeing a terran cheese out a zerg with two proxied 11/11 rax is exciting? No, in fact its even more disrespectful to the community to cheese than bming or quitting without gg.
Zerg can easily win 2 rax with pool first then hatch, because they can pull far more eco when terran invest in 11/11 rax

qft
nope, idra's roach rush was a response to thorzains greedy play. here stc cheesed blindly.
Though technically its blind, He's playing vs IdrA on TD It's 95% chance of a hatch first build. He did he research on his opponent and did a build he knew could get him a quick win. I don't understand the hate on him for it?

Why do Zerg players feel like they should be able to expand so fast without making any attacking units and then cry when they get punished? Why don't Zerg players try making attacking units, it makes no sense to me..
Because we don't have mules. We have to expand fast or else we're behind economically and from a production stand point. You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.
So you are telling me that instead of hatch first you can't build a few lings, stop the scv and then use your queen to make like 7 drones at once? You don't even have the 1st base saturated when you make your second, don't understand the mindset
It's well know that Idra sucks at holding rushes, people use that against him. The same reason terrans always bunker pressure losira because he always lose his hatch.
And its the reason most people stopped trying to rush nestea because he destroys it.
Sorry but Idra can't handle early pressure well, and he goes into rage/stress mode whenever it happens.

He lost too many drone with that
That is why he is idra, we have seen some incredible come back from MMA this tournament in the map between MMA and White RA, and Kiwikaki vs Stephano on game 2. I have seen some good zerg sacked their hatch and still win, 300 minerals is not that really huge, and terran also has to cut a lot of scv to do that 11/11 rax, so zerg is not that far behind when they sacked the natural, they can double expand later.
STC was following up by locking IdrA in his main. It's one thing if he salvaged his bunkers and went home. But he could sit outside of IdrA's main w/ those bunkers and make raid into his main w/ the marines and until he has banelings (which wouldn't be soon), he'd be stuck there.
