What just happen? O__O Sprinted upstairs to get some coffee, came back down and the game is over! O__O roach ling all-in ? Not a roach ling all-in, it was a quick 7 (I think it was 7) roach pressure backed up by speedlings, certainly not to the point that it was a all-in. Just putting some pressure on Thorzain from Idra, but at the moment he saw that Thorzain had so little defense Idra just went on with mass ling production to end the game right there. (one can't blame him for making that good call, though even without that ling production he already had the game)
The great thing about this opening is that you are just a bit behind, not a lot, if you just retreat if you can't break it. It's just bad if you keep making units and losing them.

lol HP Bars still enabled. so its the battle of the hp-bars again. Of course??! HP bars off is stupid, you can't see who's winning or losing No. They should do it like GSL is doing it. Turn them off and manually select units when it's really necessary. Otherwise it's just distracting. Hell no, health bars is needed to see how well the players are playing ... if they target the weakest units, control the weakest units back, or not. The manually selected thing just doesn't give the same information.
NEEDED? You realize this game called BW has been doing fine in Korea for over a decade and it didn't have healthbars. It is called being a competent observer. As a spectator you shouldn't want to be omniscient about every single event that is about to happen--that just takes away from the spectating experience.

are people really saying what idra did in the last game wasn't an all-in? He will tell you himself that he all-inned lol

Such a boring game, I think Idra knows that he is the inferior player in a macro game! becauses starcraft should be played 20 min rush right? the best kind of macro game is when the game progresses into it from timing pushes, rushes etc. when 2 players sit at their base 20 mins and get 200 its not how a macro game should be you know
So true, still remember that DarkForce vs MVP game where nothing happened for 40 reallife minutes -.-.
Also happy birthday PredY!

Boring? Perhaps the casters failed to communicate the drama of Thorzain's 1st two hellions pushing up toward the middle of Antiga Shipyard to the Xel Naga as Idra's roaches moved along the bottom of the map toward Thorzain's natural. Had Thorzain sent his hellions toward Idra's base on a direct route, they would have scouted the pressure and he could have lifted his CC and his depots.
tl'dr I don't understand how "boring" adequately characterizes this game.

That was a roach attack. It wasn't pressure. It wasn't a push. It was an attack. IdrA did that to end the game or inflict heavy damage. No other reason. Allin 100% T bunkers or scouts that you lose because you're behind on tech and drones esp if a counter inflicts damage, 1 quick medi after that is basically gg
Don't agree at all.
Ofc he HAD to do damage with it, but even if he didnt kill him right there he would have been fine with some damage inflicted.

which opening isnt stupid ? you need to put pressure on zerg to not let him make 70 drones in 8min game and hellions are best in it. marine/marauder is only other possible build but after stim got nerfed into oblivion it gets easily stopped by benelings, reactor hellions is basically only good build left and it gets trashed hard by this roach/ling rush

I'm happy that they added gamesound this time, <3 IPL

Curious because I tend to mess up two words, whats the difference between a push and an attack?
I understand what pressure is just those two terms confuse me a bit.

They're pretty much the same. tree.hugger's just being uptight with the terms.
