Here we go again. This weekend is about good games and good fun. Don't rain on that parade. Play nice guys. Here's the very standard and friendly:

- NO Balance Whine.
- NO Player Bashing.
- NO Caster Bashing.
- NO BM whatsoever.

Breaking these rules (from pg 166 forward) will be met with severe punishment.

You can't go into a potential Bo7 with only one build. It's that simple.

apparently leenock can


Well actually, his cheeses have been different almost each time. But they're reactive to Naniwas one and only build.

I don't see why people can't understand that given what Leenock is seeing, he's playing what he believes to be the best builds possible as a counter.

This is utterly unsurprising to me, lucky did the same thing to the slayer's terrans at ipl3 and mkp did the same to drg during the first aol, if you know a player's weakness you have to exploit it. I love nani but the leenocktopus is doing nothign wrong right now.

and he's going FFE because HELLO that's what Protoss players do against Zerg. This isn't something new!


But FFE isn't viable on some maps, like XNC. 1 gate expand or 3 gate sentry expand are much safer.

This is why FFE is silly. It doesn't hold off a roach rush.


But if not roach rushed, toss can easily get a powerful army and go for the kill.
In a word, Naniwa is greedy. he took the risk and payed the price. Simple as that.

Did anyone ever tell Naniwa the definition of insanity?


You mean doing the exact same thing and expecting a different result?

not paying the most attention here, but has it seriosly been Nani goin FFE and Leenock going super early aggression for every game so far?

No its not, Leenock is the korean boy genius.

Also, yay go Leenock!


He's getting cheesed, not mindgamed


they're the same.

"He cheesed me last game, probably won't do it again!"

seriously, who still dies to 7 roach rush 4 times in a row?

The better player came second. Ah well, Naniwa tilting in refusing to do something like DT rush or just 3gate or 1gate robo.


What?

Leenock is the better player. He has been consistent throughout the past year in the GSL. Naniwa still gets 2-0'ed in the first round by Check and Lucky. Leenock is currently in the top eight of GSL.

I'm confused, with extended series, why didn't nani start up 2 games? Isn't that how double elim is supposed to work?



He never played Leenock before. So all Nani had to do was win the a bo3. Which he did not, so it became a bo7

Leenock showing retards what has been obvious for 6 months which is that FFE openings in SC2 are not safe and ceding the expansion to the Protoss isn't necessarily smart.


It was nex first on xel naga of all maps..Not a smart opener

Naniwa is going to code S, anyway. So maybe it doesn't matter THAT much to him.

Terrible decision to go FFE on XNC. On TDA you don't have much of a choice, but on XNC you're safer with a 3gate, or even 1gate..

I can't even believe people are trying to call what Leenock's been doing cheese lol

He's just punishing the super greedy FFE with only 1 cannon that Naniwa's been doing every game. If anything, being that greedy is cheese, not an early roach timing that transitions into a normal game (and everyone calls it all-in lol)

But I guess that's how SC2 is compared to BW.. if you make early units it's cheese, if you are ridiculously greedy then it's not cheese. 12 nexus from BW would probably be considered the epitome of macro in SC2 rofl.

I honestly don't understand nani's thought process.

'My FFE failed 3 out of 4 times, lets try it again on a map thats terrible for it'.
