Strelok really favours that proxy Factory opening.

Anyone watching his NASL games and some of the Euro cups cast by imbalanced.tv would so easily blind counter that. I thought Gatored was going to do it with blocking the landing, but then he moved away his Stalker just as it was starting to float in.

I guess in an incredibly roundabout way, my picks for the top two in the group might advance. Just not in the fashion I had expected, very much far from it.

Well, storms can be dodged, so the attacker needs to place them well to maximise their effectiveness. Fungals on the other hand are the worst - you drop the first and then just rinse and repeat.

amazing play by gatored, damn!


Puma 1/1/1 - noob all in cheeser.

Gatored all in - Amazing strategy

Because transitioning into a 3rd and 4th base is an all-in.

It was all-in.

It's like 6 pooling in ZvZ... killing a bunch of drones and equalizing the game (or getting ahead). Does 6 pool sudden stop being an all-in because it did damage?

Why was gatored build all in? Because he trapped his entire army (ie, he gets crushed or does a ton of damage). He cut probes to continue aggression. If DRG was prepared for it he could have destroyed gatored.

Who cares if it was all-in or not? It was a good game won by a nice strategy. People should stop whining about all-ins all the time.

Who gets excited over fungals? I'm Zerg and even I don't most of the time unless they're REALLY strategic fungals. EMPs just never seem to be strategic at all, just press and go. Insane range, and AOE. Storm is impressive because it's not instant damage, and it doesn't root.

if mana is on his top form, and avoids pvp against elfi he has a very good chance in this tournament

Yea I agree. His PvZ is almost definitely strong enough to take down DRG. The big question is whether his PvT is strong enough for Top. That's a tough match to call.

Rofl I could see DRG being knocked down out of group stage. His play against Strelok was extremely shaky, then he simply collapsed against gatored.

ZvZ might be the best matchup to let his Korean training shine.

Hey man, if that's mad skillz to Dustin Browder, who are we to argue?

Somehow i have a feeling that TOP will take this tournament fairly easy, unless DRG manages to get in the Finals/against him.


Maybe but it really comes down to MaNa.


Oh yeah, Mana is playing.. Well TOP still has pretty solid TvP.


Yea, true Top is a great terran but MaNa specialise in PvT so I think its gonna be close but lets see I dont think DRG can take this tournament with all these protoss and his abit shaky ZvP

I wasn't bitching about it. I think its a great build too. I'm just responding to the guy saying it wasn't all-in.

Even if Gatored loses this, he can always say "Strelok too good, hope I get a code s Korean next".

oh nice, everybody in group a and b ist currently 1-1 pretty tense


PvT is Sangho's best matchup, so he should beat Sjow

dKiller is better than Attero imo

Strelok seems to have no problems with Gatored

DRG should be able to handle Strifecro despite his weak play today


i agree with you on every point, but after todays results we can expect pretty much everything. let's just hope for some close matches ^^

But it's still exactly the same skillset that is required to cast them.And fungal is by far the easiest. There is nothing strategic about fungaling units. you hit them once and then just repeatedly fungal them until they die, derp.
