I don't want to start a balance discussion, but 60+% win rate for zerg WITH close pos does sound pretty zerg favoured.

IMO Cross spawn Metalopolis is about as hard as it gets for Terran in TvZ.

I'd rather have Cross spawn Tal'Darim Altar.

That is so beta :p

Close air is harder for Terran imo. Cross means you can play a passive macro game(if you actually can macro) with a little bit of harrass here and there.

Cross TDA isn't bad for Terran either

People are hyping Stephano and his macro so hard, forgetting that he takes GIANT risks early game. And Boxer just punished that.

That wasnt stephanos usual play though, no idea why he changed it up, maybe the bunker rush and the need to defend with drones just ufcked up his build, but yer, if anything I'd say he normally takes very few risks, since he's relying on zlings and upgrades.


I agree, I feel like that's why his playstyle has been taking the scene by storm. Mass zlings with ups allows you to defend almost any ground force efficiently while posing the threat of counterattacks. All the while he is aggressively expanding and teching because he spends relatively little gas on his defense.


Reminds me of that player that did the no gas till 44 food strat. Damn it I can't recall his name.

I forget, are there Korean invites at Providence? If so, Polt/MKP deserve to go from their performances this weekend.


given Nestea/Mvp and most of the top tier korean mlg attendees so far will be at providence I think the grand finals could really end up being top 10-12 korean

Without Boxer, there is no MLG Orlando.

He is the Michael Jordan/Wayne Gretzky of Starcraft.

Some terrible LRing coming up:
Machine vs Hero Game 3 on Metalopolis

Hero spawns on 9 and Machine on 3 (sort of).

Pool first for Machine. Hero blocks the Hatchery and puts down his Forge.

Machine blocking Hero's Nexus while getting a Queen. Cannon and Gateway for Hero.
Machine pauses the game.

Machine pausing like a madman. Machine going for gold by getting the gold, while hero gets 2 gas and his core.

6.00 Hero scouts the gold and throws down 5 more gates! Machine getting his Evo chamber and a Roach Warren. Hero getting +1 Attack

8.00Zergling Speed and Roaches coming for Machine, as well as Lair tech.

9.00Another forward Pylon for Hero and 2 more gasses. Roach Speed (I think) coming for Machine. Hero killing lots of thingies.

boxer created the scene

what's this about street-cred? if not for boxer you wouldn't be here watching mlg in the first place

yeah people give him cred for that, unfathomable is it?

it's not only because he was very good, he created the very thing

Boxer is pretty much the reason SC as an e-sports exists. He's a bonjwa, but at the same time an ambassador and an entrepeneur in e-sports. It's reason enough for me.
