Ultimately, it won him the game. That's a good move, regardless of how risky or reliant on your opponent messing up it is.

You guys forget that this is not a Terran with sick micro. DRG probably was 1a'ing his army and didn't pay attention.

Hey guys here's some protips: Don't give your advice on what two of the best koreans in the entire scene should have done in the heat of the moment. You don't know better and won't ever know better.

I don't know why people DON"T think it was a good move. Yes if was risky, BUT if you think about it, he was going to lose all of those tanks/medivacs anyways to the broodlords, so he might as well take a risk and hope that DRG didnt notice or couldn't micro, and it definitely paid off

It was a good move on MMA's part but DRG messed up there...even assuming the medivacs are small fry you don't sent your army into the planetary, especially when half of it is lagging behind and can't do anytying.

Stop freaking out. It was NOT a good move.

The tanks were so vulnerable in the medivac, the only reason this worked was because DRG failed his control.

Yep they flew right past the Mutas, was a terrible move actually. But Artosis said it's a good move so everyone thinks so now

DRG didn't see the load-up and probably assumed they were empty medivacs he could clean up after the battle.


This, DRG had MMA army on the run. He wanted to get to the army and did not want to stop for what he must of thought where empty medivacs. A risk it was but its not the tanks would of done any good anyway in that situation. That was so sick that he did that in the heat of battle, take my useless tanks and make them useful.

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.


Exactly. DRG just didn't pay attention to it because its not something people do typically.

I didn't think the Thors were even remotely in range of the mutas by the time the medivacs flew in. Someone will have to check the vods to prove the distance.

Pretty sure MMA went for a hail mary pass and it worked. If it failed he's an idiot, but it succeeded so he's a genius. That's science.

People blame lbj for not showing up in 4th quarter, nothing wrong at all when regular people criticize superstars.

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


ty!

cant wait for next game


i dont know, the decision to follow mma's army into a planertary without infestor broodlord support... not that it would only help him but leaving them exposed right outside mma's natural?

The question is: with broodlords bearing down on him, could MMA have gotten a good use out of his tanks in siege mode? Other than microing the shots of every tank, which is nearly impossible, especially if you have marines to control. Looking back, it seems he simply gambled to get the most out of his tanks and it paid off spectacularly. It was a somewhat desperate move to buy time for more vikings but it worked better than expected.

it's real easy to backseat drive a starcraft game.

try being the one in the booth.

based on what DRG saw with his vision, i think he made the correct call. unforunately, he forgot that MMA is a baller.
