He also thinks those medivacs are empty so why bother, they look like they are just there to slow down the army

wtf? why mutalisks no kill free siege tanks in medivacs?


I don't get this either...


the reason is he messed up duh BUT theres a good reason for it you DONT a move mutas when theres 3-4 thors so they just flew over the medivacs


The thors were no where near the medivacs.


yes but DRG doesnt know that


the medivacs were literally right on top of his army, he could easily see the thors weren't in range.

can't seem to understand whether the majority of TL are MMA fanboys or just blind to DRG's bad play ;/

2 winnable games botched by DRG

so sad to watch


IT WASNT BAD PLAY

seriously if u have TONS of marines getting rushed by banes and ling, u use ur mutas to accompy them. they were ON THEIR WAY to the marines. WOULD U GO FOR TONS OF MARINES which would WIN YOU THE GAME or kill TWO RANDOM MEDIVACS which COULD BE EMPTY?!

it was SUCH GOOD MMA control stop blaming "fanboyism and "bad play" and just FUCKING APPRECIATE THE MATCH

If you are guardian your broodlords from the said marines you know the marines will have to come back to you to fight...so why rush of towards a PF? take out medievacs MMA cant replace because he is probably cranking out vikings and the marines die from your infestors...

Tasteless's explanation makes sense, he was just so busy microing against the deadliest threat of them all -- the marine -- that he didnt notice until it was too late.

A-Move won't target medivacs first, DRG would have to manually target them if there are other battle units near by.
DRG was too busy managing the front of his army.

A move targets the closest units. Medivacs were in front of the army, therefore an a-move would have attacked them

Lets be honest, that was a desperate move but it was brilliant. What top level gamer would do such a thing as go "kamikaze" with medivacs..I think drg thought they were empty so bothered not to waste time on them..still..a terrible decision on drg part

You clearly didn't watch that battle closely.
The fully loaded medivacs ran into DRG's army and the medivac was basically "magic boxed". Mutas don't clump up when their target is within them.

also where the medivacs were were not within thor range, so they were on their own.

for people saying he should have targeted down the medivacs, their armies were already fighting and the medivacs were just flying off. in drgs mind those are already dead and he can just kill them later. he probably thought it was better to use the mutas to attack actual attacking units instead of medivacs too far away to heal anything. i doubt he was worried about anything substantial coming out of those medivacs that would actually turn the tide of the fight

what happened was DRG underestimated him. the reason we are freaking out is the same reason why DRG didn't focus them really quick, that was a impossible to live from situation for the terran. the whole army on retreat, no counter to any of his tech (ghost/viking), and he was nearly completely cornered.

in a last ditch effort, MMA filled two medivacs with siege tanks and dropped them behind onto infesters to be met up with rallied marines from his main. DRG might've thought that was a move to buy time, or a distraction, regardless, it was brilliant and a last ditch effort in that moment to turn around a loss, as losing his whole army with the zerg right outside his base is pretty much GG.

nah, MMA won cause DRG miscontrolled that. Jjakji vs leenock was epic cause neither player fucked up enough to lose, the winner played well to win instead.



jep DRG attacked into the thors with his mutas instead of saving his infestors

Usually you try to magic box mutas vs thors, if you just a-move they stack and get one-shotted. MMA probably anticipated that/took the risk since tanks are pretty much useless unsieged vs brood lords.

The problem with your "theory" is that the medivac flew into the flock of mutas, not by them. Meaning those medivacs were already magic box'd.

Yeah, lets a move mutas vs marines / thors.
