Watch how you approach the topic of match fixing. You can speculate, saying "I'm not so sure about the finals, something doesn't sit right with me," but if you are going to outright accuse players of match fixing you need something more than your word.

TL takes match fixing/abuse seriously and as such there is a burden a proof when you are accusing players.

How do Zergs like Stephano own everyone on ladder if its so impossible.

Besides Sen would have lost either way and a ZvZ final against Nestea would be beyond terrible anyway.


The thumbs down feature works wonders


Stephano doesn't have shattered thumbed down.

Thorzain is known as spoon terran. Slowly pushing and solid play so I don't think the strat play makes any sense to not like someone.

Yeah, I guess meeting MVP's army mid map before he has stationed his tanks etc. would be optimal. It would require a quite early army though I suppose.

Not "duking off", it's more "duking it out". I've heard people use this expression quite a few times, and have used it myself a few times.

Overall I'd say Curious's style is far superior to DRG's, but it's kind of boring to watch since it's so standard and safe.

Funny how you say DRG has bad ZvZ when it's actually very good.

Sen could've won with some variation of an all-in that counters MVP's build without being obviously scoutable. Since Nestea already blew the roach-ling all-in, I'm thinking fast baneling bust. Now, don't expect me to know how Sen would've done such a feat - that's something only he can figure out through practicing new builds against good opponents.

That said, I doubt Sen or MVP practices that map on close positions regularly. Blizzcon is pretty much the only major tournament still using it.

That guy meant that laddering as Zerg is too hard for him and he could thumb down too so..

Oh well if he on the winning team, I would have just taken that advantage and just carried on with the game 2v2!

Thank you Blizzcon for showing the true balance of the game.
Tournament maps are so zerg favored that people forget what it's like to play on ladder maps.

And that's why the GSL is a ZvZ fest...

Pretty much yes.
If GSL were using ladder maps, I don't think there would be any Z in code S left.


Haha, Z whining in a tournament where 2 of the top 3 are Zerg playing on ladder maps?

nice

Look at the contestants entering it, for the most part this two per server creates some very obvious winners.
I don't think balance can be reasonably determined, but we do get reminded in a rather brutal fashion just how much close spawns sucks.
An all in attack or nothing, if MVP had made less hellions and more tanks vs Nestea (like he did vs Sen), that would have been different.

It would require Zerg to be all inning at the exact time Terran moves out. That's not very likely at all.

I don't think it's bad, but I do think it's still a bit of a mystery as to how good it actually is. Played a hell of a game against Losira in the gstl though. One of the top 5 zvz games I've ever seen

no, "duking it out" means fighting.

Fun Fact : Actually he did spot the army. It leaves him less than 22 seconds to produce enough Roaches to break a contain consisting of 3 siege tanks (which 2 of them are virtually invincible) and 15 marines, given he didn't make some drones with his larvae just before.
