Columbus has always had an amazing crowd

Lol people still whine about archon toilet being OP... Newsflash: It's Not !

Newflash! How do you avoid it? I know many people claim its op and others simply say no, but no denier of it being OP has yet said what zerg should do to combat vortex aside from being MORE than two bases ahead. Even then.... huk vs aria...

Huk vs Aria wasn't a serious game at all. Aria threw random comps at huk the whole time, anyone who understands the game can see how silly it was.

Zerg's CAN spread. When its Mothership/Archon against mass BL the Z has to play it kind of like a Terran. Slowly push, spread out broods, protect them. If you just 1a in and stack up, you WILL LOSE. Its the fact that Zerg players aren't used to slow pushing with slow units, they're used to swarming into the slow push and breaking it.


i know how to beat the toilet. mass banes and put them in the toilet along with the archons. boom.
wow you're really smart!

... stfu


no you stfu. what would happen though I never tried.

Arent vortexed units immune to damage for a short period or time (a sec or 2?) when leaving the vortex?


yeah but so are the archons that go inside. and if the archons are outside, then the banes have invuln and thus they are even better off.

I don't get why ppl think HuK is sooo much better than Hero...that play right there showed skill far beyond anything HuK/Puzzle has shown EVER!

Because Huk actually wins tournaments. :/


Huk plays standard. Hero seems to finally be working out his wacky play style which looks like it could change the way Protoss play.

imo Her0 looking like the best Protoss.

Lets let Huk v Hero Decide

It's not remotely easy to pull off. His sentry micro was sick.


Eh, it was almost unneeded though. By the time he had to micro his sentries, he had already killed most of the drones and the Hydralisk Den. It's not easy to do it like Hero, but it's definitely an abusive build, and it is easy to pull off a shittier version of it.


Yeah, its totally abusive to zergs who go blind double expand off of slow lings. That's a totally safe and valid build...

It's sad that it took a whole year before someone started using warp prisms the way they were always meant to be used. HP buff had nothing to do with it!

It really does, that WP had 100% of its shields lost and some health, old WP that would have very nearly died, or possibly died due the committing harder for every single hit. If that WP died, it would have been a HUGE deal for hero.

Fail forcefield into insta lose is not very micro intensive I guess... you just will it with your mind and it pops out

That's pretty much the most complicated form of drop play you can pull off in sc2 rofl.


Says alot about the game though...


I do miss the brilliance of Reaver/Templar + shuttle micro...

but if they explode before it wears off they do 0 dmg? I guess you could wait a sec or two and manual detonate

BM to use a warp prism when Terran drops all over the place? You are an idiot!


I think you dont understand what he meant.
Please dont talk to other Tl memebers like that.


What did he mean then?


The warp prism isnt the problem (dontw ant to say this strat is a problem)
Its that he gets in the main and forcefields the ramp. From that point there is very little the opponent can do. This can be frustrating, and is one of my least favorite strats to watch.

Gratz to Hero tho.

It's the Polt build!

(Polt played some sick ladder TvZ vs an IM player (maybe true) a few weeks back where he transitioned late game to mass air and won with seeker missile / auto turret / bc XD))

Oz looking in a decent position

He's actually correct tho lol. Even if it's not practical.

Well you would need to be insanely fast to hold position the banes to prevent them from blowing up before the 1.5 sec


Don't hotkeys work?

ofcourse they work, but you'd need to be able to press the hotkey and hold position before the units detonated, which I doubt is even possible.

The fans in Anaheim seem to be the loudest and most excited, with Columbus coming in second. No idea why Providence crowd seems so laid back . . .

Yeah I second the thought that MLG finals should be held in a major city next time
