You've got to be kidding me, phoenix already destroy mutas unless they are greatly outnumbered. Archons/Templar are protoss's AOE method of dealing with muta.


Not going to discuss this further as is it off topic, but unless you opened stargate you will always be outnumbered in Phoenix vs Muta fights.

Archons suck vs Mutas. Storm is good

lol, Rotterdam is more knowledgable than almost any other caster, and plays the game at a higher level than virtually anyone else casting regularly.

Bitter for his part is a very competent high masters Zerg...

===

Killer forced into an all in, don't like his chances in this


yea yea thats true. But like even what mr.bitter just said "oh he's building a manner hatch in killers base. No that was completely wrong.


It was a joke, at least I took it as such.

Pretty sure he's aware of what the concept of base race entails...

It's also conceivable that Bitters made a mistake. Saying one thing wrong during an hours long broadcast isn't a good reason to declare that a caster is lacking in knowledge of the game (especially for someone who's pretty well known to be a high-level player).

your post is so wrong T.T
i think they work really well together. and about their knowledge: rotterdam is probably the most skilled full time caster and bitter is pretty good aswell (high master i think).

Yeah, pretty sure both are masters, Protoss(Rotterdam) and Zerg(Bitter).

Mutas will allways outnumber Phoenix and are way more useful overall.


That may be true, but if phoenixes had AOE mutas would be completely useless considering how much damage phoenix already do to them.

Would it kill IEM to have two SC II streams?

I know, we miss so many matches T_T

Anyway, I want MaNa to win this whole thing!!!!

Edit: Does TOP not have to play TT1?

You also have Edge vs Axslav twice XD


Sometimes Mr Bitter and Rotterdam choose different matches to cast on main stage depending of the importance of the match ( if someone needs to win a game to get top 2 in a group, compared to if the other game is 2 people going 0-2 or something).

I think when the next season starts Carmac will try to get intel and the other sponsors to put more money into IEM. If they don't they might get left behind compared to what MLG and other tournaments are putting out.


Are you serious!?
IEM is putting far more money than mlg they have a bigger price pool at their circuit events and at their grand finals. Please don't post bs like that if you don't even have an idea of what you're talking about.


I said when the next IEM season starts which is in 2012 when MLG plan to have $1.5 million for sc2


MLG also "planned" to increase the prizepool by a lot this year according to what was established prior to that statement and they failed to deliver.

Take their words with a grain of salt.

I am not trying to hate on mlg or something, but sundance sure loves to hype stuff even though it might not happen.

So MLG doubling the normal pro circuit (went from $7,000 to $14,000) event prize pools and having a $120,000 prize pool at the National Championship vs the $17,000 of last year isn't a substantial increase?

yea penixes tho? but maybe they should just launch nukes per attack and destroy muta balls in one shot........ Phoenix micro if u know how to micro can endlessly kite mutas. Unless u r a noob and dunno how to micro and just 1a ur phoenix into the mutas then yes u should lose all ur mutas


You're right, but no need to be an ass about it. -_-

Mutalisks are still very dangerous against a Protoss that doesn't open Phoenixes (or even a Stargate) and you have to play a catch up game with them. It's definitely not an autowin for the reactive Protoss in that scenario, it's nowhere near.

However, no changes to Phoenixes is needed imo, it's normal for a race to be on the back foot in some scenarios.

What?????? Phoenix's are baller. They completely counter mutas 100% All you have to do is constnatly harrass the muta's and keep the muta count low its not really that hard. I could crush mutas even if they have 2x as many Phoenix microing phoenix is sooooo easily and clearly when u charge mutas with phoenix they going to turn around and try to attakc phoenix just micro and be ready for that and pull back muta's CANNOT retreat from phoenix they are not fast enough

Manly decision by IEM, like it a lot. I think this resolves the most pressing issue, which is that one player thought he won his place in the next stage.

Any Z or P have thoughts on Muta ling in ZvP? I'm starting to think it's more efficacious than roach corrupter. The transition is normally to ultra, not broodlord, which isn't quite as strong, but \base racing with zergling muta works so well because they have such insane dps if unopposed.

I kind of missed the end, but didn't Killer have a favorable army there at the end or no? He still more than likely would have lost, but seems like he should have played it out.


He had 2 buildings left on the map with the entire zerg army attacking them and his army was across the map? Wasn't going to play that out.

Okay thanks.

actually in bigger numbers is better just to a move because if a muta ball manages to get one shot you will lose all your phoenix cause of clumping

If SangHo pulled his probes, the game might have been interesting. His composition looked stronger than FruitDealer's during that time.

Also Storming then chasing with pheonix makes mutas just evaporate.
