At least we won't see the lame hellions roasting drones which is quite common on foreign TvZ...

It was so quick, that's why it's brilliant. You can analyze things when it's all over and find little things both players did wrong, but that was just wow.

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


I might have missed it but I thought he saw the tanks go in there but I just assumed he did I was wrong obviously. Smart by MMA sucks for DRG
When I think of something else, something will go here

imo i thought mma did that risky move but it wasn't as "fail" as some people think.
unsieged tanks were quite useless in that scenario, even if both medivacs were taken out.. i dont think drg could have won the game on the spot either

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

It takes like 2 seconds to kill 2 medivacs with that number of mutas. It wasn't like he had to seperate them from his infestor/broodlord army to snipe them as well.

The only thing i can think of is that DRG thought MMA was sacking his medivacs for some extra seconds to get back to the PF, so he moved his mutas forward to chase down the marines.

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

1) calm down caps just proves your fanboyism really

2) it's not like he couldn't have sniped the medivacs and then continued with the attack

Jjakji v Leenock is still better, this is still too onesided.


no, jjajki vs leenock was NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT as good as this


Jjakji/Leenock was better.

DRG's decision making/nerves are subpar this series.


Jjakji / Leenock seems much higher level so far.

... at least in terms of leenocks play compared to Drgs.

MMA is at least closer to Jajkji, but it might be that Drg isn't a good enough opponent for MMA to show off his skill properly.

If the medivacs are empty and he tries to snipe them and the mutas gets owned by thors, everyone here complains that DRG should have left those medivacs alone. Standard observer mentality that you can only lose games by not playing omnipotently.

Next time I'm losing a fight in TvZ I'm going to load up my tanks into some medivacs and find the nearest muta flock to fly them into.

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.


could be barly outside of range. all i was saying is you dont a move mutas........ he should have just press hold/stop to kill real fast but he messed up. still was a nice move by MMA though

so do you think attacking into a planetary with thors and a ton of marines with just ling/bling/muta was a good decision.. leaving his broodlords and infestor exposed?? not just to those medivacs but to any reinforcements from the natural of mma??

The difference between a great move and a stupid one is whether or not it works, I don't see why people are so confused.

Anyways, I had no idea TL had so many future GSL champions that refuse to give MMA credit for his play.

Honestly MMA had retreated so far that DRG's got to be feeling uncomfortable with his army there. It's probably one of those things where a top player has a gut feeling that it'd work somehow.

Can someone fully explain that to me?
At first I thought MMA was accidently picking up two tanks and sending them to their death(by mutas.)
How did he know the mutas wouldn't kill them?
How exactly was DRG out of position to deal with the tanks anyway?



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


No, Attacking units have priority and the medivacs werent attacking. Example: hold position micro with workers
