Same drill as usual:
  • No caster bashing.
  • Excessive tournament bashing that detracts from game discussion will be met with moderator action. Criticism is welcome, whining is not.
  • In general do your best to stay on topic and discuss what we're all here for: the games.
Enjoy the games guys.

Strelok cut units to get 3 bases and was way behind IdrA's smart 3 base timing attack. 2 minutes later and Strelok has a nice lead.
Caster duos should compliment each others' strengths. "You look very handsome today, Tasteless."

siege tanks don't make you invincible, especially when you don't have enough to defend a fast third like that.

He made like three tanks in that entire game, and he lost one to mutas straight away.

Really? I would think most Terran players like Shattered Temple against Zerg due to the fact that a Zerg can't really take a quick 3rd.

and also, strelok's income hadn't kicked in yet from the third.

LOL idra figured out something ive realized forever


at the MOMENT muta timing hits, the terran spends 1100+ minerals in turrets around his 3 bases (or, if he is on 2 bases and didnt take a third, its a auto lose)

if you see the terran spent that 1100 minerals on turrets, you just hit the front with mass line/bane and it hits at the perfect time where the terran has such a small army because he just spent so much on turrets



honestly, dunno WTF terran can do against this. its a massive weakpoint in TvZ


what... All you need are tanks and strelok made a thor which was 1 less tank, then lost a tank so he was down what could have been a couple more tanks which is huge.

The reason Idra attacked was strelok took a greedy third and lacked in the tank department (only 2 tanks when he should have had more).
When I think of something else, something will go here

You just can't play passive terran against zerg, if you wanna keep up you have to play extremely greedy and even then you are barely keeping up with heavy eco zerg and he can just switch to units any time and kill you. You simply have to do all-in or very heavy harrass play.

strelok delayed 2nd for so long them didt do anything w/ hellions


he expected idra to take 2 expos via muta map-control, so eh was going to go for a 3 base timing push, he wasn't expecting idra to attack that point, at least that's how I see it.

edit:

if he just bunkered up harder strelok would have held it, but it was unexpected.

Sen vs TT1 was much more predictable to be onesided. Sheth in a good day can take games off pretty much anyone.

And more importantly, everybody loves Sheth.

take a game yes. take a bo5 off puma? seriously?

Yes? Puma's TvZ isn't exactly unbeatable...


Well, it doesn't look good for him judging by this. :/

What happened is called hitting a timing. IdrA hit exactly when he would win. Strelok's build had a tiny little flaw wich IdrA seized.

He went for thors way too fast.

Thors do well against muta, but not really great against lings.

He really needed that critical amount of tanks to deal with lings and banelings, especially banelings. He was just being too greedy on tech.

It doesn't take 1100 minerals of turrets to defend 8-10 mutas if you stay on two bases.

pretty sure even with 3 extra tanks he would have lost to that push.

thats the huge weakpoint that exists when a terran takes a third that fast, and also tried to make turrets around his base for mutas

its almost smarter to not build 10 turrets and just make 3 (1 in each mineral line) get faster raxes and put 8 marines in each mineral line so at least those marines can fight in the big battle

Out of all the explanations, I like this one the most.

What Terran can do is not spend 1100 on turrets.

Spend 400 on Turrets instead, camp your army at your 3rd, only build turrets for the main/nat
