And already, we have some cool guy trying to be hipster by being different and picking apart the finals, saying they were bad.

Update OP? Who even won?

MMA of course :O!


MMA didn't win.

After a series like that, EVERYBODY won.

Except DongRaeGu.


only got himself to blame there though after the terrible way he started out the series xD

DRG does tech and eventually mows MMA's perimeter defense, then continues attacking with Ultralisks split up into different chokes. Loses them. Then makes all his corruptors into broodlords and moves them into MMA's remaining army with some zerglings. Loses them.

MMA sets up a lesser perimeter defense and starts attempting to snipe hatcheries. He is successful, since DRG is too afraid to keep units or even static defense there, apparently expecting the immobile perimeter defense to somehow move forward; siege tanks on high-ground, missile turrets and all.

Unable to keep his hatcheries up, DRG is forced to make a last attack, once again mowing MMA's perimeter defense and making it to his base, and a choke. Then losing.

Hope to see you in Code S soon Mr. #1 GM.

Oh wait, you're terrible.

Don't know why people try to constantly fault epic games.


I don't even play SC2. Doesn't mean I can't see bad decisions for what they are, like this community usually can, too. If this exact game were a bo3 between two lesser known players, everyone would laugh at a Zerg who runs his T3 army to their death twice, then fails at setting up any permanent defense at his hatcheries against a very immobile terran main-army.



I'm trying to tell if you're a BW fan come to shit on the game.

None the less what did you think of Jangbi v the other guy (Fantasy?)

I think hes just a troll. I guess we should laugh when anyone loses armies these days.

Regardless,I watched it and both MMA and DRG are champions are in my heart and brought about a epic series that was long overdue.
Play your best

Why are people shitting on Shakuras Plateau? The map is fine. Look at the TLPD stats.

Stats won't show you anything. That doesn't take into account all-ins committed or anything of the like. If TvZ gets to late game, then terran has a tremendous advantage with the 5/6 bases all being near impossible to defend for zerg. Not taking anything away from MMA's win, though. He played very well, his constant drops and sniping of hatcheries was epic. DRG also did an amazing job to push MMA back into his main.



Stop whining about maps so much

first 3 maps amazing for DRG

MMA 3-0

next 3 good for MMA

DRG 3-0

No. It wasn't in plain sight because morphing hatches don't give you vision (I assume based on your obviously superior knowledge you're aware of this). He saw it with his overlords, then saw it move back as if to return home. MMA changed direction and dropped the marines outside of overlord range, where he had sight of the hatch, but DRG did not.

The observer showed DRG's vision and he could have seen it (but there was only one marine visible between 2 mineral patches, so not easy)


This is where MMA is so effing smart. he saw the ovie and IMMEDIATELY moved the medivac out of vision. AND he saw the ling and moved the medivac and marines out of vision. Dongraegu only had a split second to notice it and obviously there was so much other action taht he simply missed it

He had tanks on the high ground near the outer expansions. Good luck setting up a permanent defense.

Slayers_MMA!!
Congratulations!!!!

Haha got back to my PC in time to see "Special thanks to" at the end of the broadcast.
Thats an amazing picture.
Congratulations to MMA.
Being a slayers fanboy its really nice to see, but tbh i wouldve been happy whoever won. I think that the 3 players who deserve the "best gamer of 2011" award are MMA, DRG and MVP, nice to see one of them taking it.

That's 2. Any more for any more?

Is it too hard to appreciate epic finals, or do people just enjoy criticizing players far better than themselves? Hell, even IdrA approved of these finals.

Yeah, but the marine I talked about was the one visible for a full minute as the other guy said (not defending him or not, I just saying that he was right on that)

It isn't about what you said it is about how you said it. Condescending to two of the best players in the world with limited information and everything on the line in the 7th set of a Bo7. You are talking down to people who can't see the whole map and still have to make decisions on the fly. Either way, everyone here knows that they both made mistakes, I doubt many pros can go 30+ minutes and not make several mistakes (some of them game changing).

So glad I woke up in the middle of the night and caught this last game. Epic Epic Epic. If it was a different map, MMA would have played differently the entire game anyway. Amazing, well deserved win.

He must also enjoy shitting all over everyone else's good time.

It was an amazing series. DongRaeGu being down 0-3, then winning 3 in a row and playing in an absolutely insane game 7 is fucking unbelievable.

I don't care if the players made mistakes. Every player in every game in sc2 history has made mistakes.

That series was the greatest finals of sc2 history, and not just because of the quality of the play.
