ST_parting, fxoz, and nshsjjakji, holy crap this day is gonna be so sick!!!

Can't wait to see Oz, Jjakji and Parting (who is toss btw) Too bad Oz and Jj must meet in the first round or they would have met in the finals like last week (I think ?)

I remeber Oz and jjakji also played in a KSL in the first round like two weeks ago, jjakji won 2-0. Parting v jjakji or parting v oz will be a sick matchup btw.

By the way, now that my girlfriend is gone, I'll actually be on top of this stuff again. Sorry for the lack of updates and whatnot this past week.

STParting is Protoss right?

yes. Parting automatically TLPDizes to the BW Zerg player, and not the SC2 Protoss.

Thank you to the unknown hero mod who fixed my calendar mistake ! <3

Holy ****, Jjakji vs Oz as first match? Nice :D Go Oz!

Hoping Jjakji just goes beast mode and stomps everyone ^^
|
Khaldor will even be on time to cast it =)
|
Last 6 has been evenly distributed between the races, pretty cool. Guessing the games are in bracket order? In that case whoever gets through from the first bracket should have an easy win in the finals.
|
Oh wow, FXOz vs Jjakji first game, sick!
|

Haha, we're basically starting with the finals =p
Wonder if Jjakji can repeat his 2-0 from the last time they met.
Parting looked pretty killer last time he played too, very efficient PvZ even if it wasn't the nicest to watch. His PvT is obviously brutally good. If he beats Bumblebee there should be a nice semi-final either way.

I see Curious won yesterday? <3

T-T poor Oz vs JJakji is gone
|
Oh man, these are always too late for me =(
|
Oooh, come on Parting!!! I want to see this guy do well.
|
|
I'm guessing Oz is kinda hungover
Can't wait to see Parting play again, his mechanics are amazing.
|
United Kingdom31255 Posts
Aww
I was looking forward that game
|
Damn.
How does the picking for this work for the teams players? o.O
|
Whyyy did Oz get substituted? Why does choya keep playing for his team instead of getting his other members some experience? =.=
|
What happened to Oz? First I missed Polt's games today.. And now my other favourite player isn't in KSL after all...
Not a good day >.>
|
At least we'll have a Parting vs Jjakji that should be awesome (no offense t oChoya, I like him in fact, but if Oz has difficulties vs Jjakji, it'll be hard for Choya =) )

+ Show Spoiler [Battle report - Game One] + JJakji vs Choya on Dual SightJJakji starts in the bottom left with choya in the top right. Both players start up with barracks / gateway followed by their first gas. Choya's scouting probe gets into the base of JJakji before the first marine starts scouting the gas. Choya starts his core and then JJakji starts his wall off with the two supply depots. Choya sees this and tries to get back inside the base with his probe but it is killed by the first marine. A reactor has no gone on the first barracks and a command centre has started. Warp tech is on the way for Choya, Sentry on the way from his gateway. Second barracks from JJakji now coming out as Choya throws down a Robotics facility. An observer is the first thing out of the robo from choya, a second orbital at the natural of JJakji as he moves out with a small marine force. An expansion starts for Choya with his sentries on his main ramp. Stim on the way for JJakji while making marauders from the second barracks. More immortals from choya come from his robo as he takes the gas at his natural. JJakji scans and kills the observer at his natural. Two more gateways in production for Choya along with a factory from JJakji and concussive shells. Choya attacks the natural of JJakji, choya can't forcefield properly giving JJakji the advantage and loses his army. Choya GGs. JJakji takes the first game.

Gas first, probably some 1-1-1 Marine/Hellion/Medivac play considering the map.

+ Show Spoiler [Battle Report - Game Two] +Game Two on Calm Before the StormJJakji spawns in the bottom left corner while Choya is positioned in the bottom right JJakji opens up with gas first followed by his first barracks while choya opens up with a nexus first build in his pocket expansion followed by a gateway near his main nexus. JJakji quickly gets a factory before his orbital starts while choya gets both of his gas. JJakji gets a reactor on his barracks as both players go to scout one another. Choya scouting JJakji last. Jjakji getting a starport while Choya gets a robotics facility. Medivac comes out from the starport. Two forges from choya as he starts his warp tech. An observer comes out from the robo. JJakji moves his marines to the front of Choya's ramp but he misses the forcefield and loses both his sentries. Choya GGs instantly. JJakji takes the series

Haa, I'm fed up of protoss losing to this hellion drop on calm
|
Choya played way too risky, you simply can't go double forge and no units before scouting what your opponent is up to. :/

Pretty funny. But Choya has always been pretty bad anyway, so not unexpected.

Choya had 40 probes and 2 sentries, kinda bad not to keep that ramp blocked when your whole strategy is relying on it Q_Q

Vampire played pretty well, Khaldor didn't like his immportal push but I liked his retreat, saving those 2 immortals was a good move imo.

He had ghosts like 5 seconds away. That's the main reason. You're not gonna win against archon zealot without ghosts though.

Usually they're in front (Zealots hiding behind Stalkers, of course) and they die instantly from Marauder fire. But not this time! I was just staring at them, barely paying attention.

I need a cookie.

Zergs, even code S ones, should play T or P and see how annoying it is to have your buildings gooped by an overseer. Seeing an overseer flyingover a robo with enough energy to goop and not gooping hurts my feelings. And this happens often .

This is what happens when you throw away roaches for nothing.

This PvZ is painful to watch... I don't understand what the zerg was trying to do....

Even in ZvZ it is stupidly annoying, it's was recently nerfed though so it will take a while for it to come back into mandatory use like creep spread is.

Blanking out choya's games from my mind.
I have faith in Parting to bring entertaining games

Poor Choya and Inca they're like the evil twins

Muta switch, and late third for Ready... 0-0-3 blink stalkers, though.

This has to be Berra's weakest matchup...>_>

Maybe Parting will go DTs too. :D :D

Btw. Khaldor <3<3<3, probably the hardest working guy in SC2 scene atm. He casts GSL, comes home, casts KSL, after KSL, casts ESL and other stuff!
We love you Khaldor!!!
|
I NEED TO EAT JUNK FOOD FOR THIS.
wtb cookies
|
Why cant they get some other casters for this like wolf/moletrap and such? I mean, even khaldor can't cast this everyday.
|
That was shockingly ineffective.
|
Khaldor can do anything. You should know this. It's fact. If he could not do anything, how could he cast every fucking event going on 24 hours a day?
For the game, very nicely held by parting. Pulling the probes behind the stalkers to avoid hellion deaths was very smart.
|
terran should have sent the hellions into the mineral line while the marauders and stalkers fought. Parting would have lost every probe
|
Twlight Council? That's only one building away from Dark Shrine!
|
Did he defended that with one gate ? Fuck, I didn't watched his build closely. It was a one gate core expand, with only stalkers produced ?
|
He has an obs scouting every drop from the north, but still falling apart because of those. Parting doing well but could do better. Btw, I don't think jjakji lost a signle serie (perhaps even a single map ?) since his GSL championship.
|
I couldn't believe that Parting held that opening with a one gate expand. I feel like he should've added colossus tech when he got his 3rd base.

He lost a map to cOre when he went marine/tank contain on Calm (with neosteel frame lol) and had it busted by colossus/chargelot.
But yeah he did win that KSL, so he's not lost a series since.

some awesome ghost/templar wars, both diving in and out of range to try win the storm/emp battle

Yes, the gates 2 and 3 were ready just in time.

Those were some nice freaking storms there. If he had his colossus a little bit sooner he could've taken that. A shame. Good game though.

Pretty good game. Enjoy'd.

It was a one stalker expo. Nexus at 27/34 cut workers and chrono'd cyber core.

Nice game, and nice timing from JJakji—30 sec later and he would have been in trouble.

You really see how well his heavy obs style works with it, he's constantly able to win the initial battle for positioning and always get off a big early storm as a result.
JJakji overwhelms him in the end though.
Very fun game, it's always nice when good games live up to the billing.

+ Show Spoiler [Battle Report - Game One] +Game One on Antiga ShipyardIn the bottom left is Parting while in the top right is JJakji They open up with barracks / gateway then gas and move to scout, Parting's probe a lot sooner than the scv of JJakji allowing him to enter the base of JJakji and scout the gas and barracks. Parting gets his core at the same time as JJakji gets his orbital and starts his marine production. JJakji opts to go for a factory followed by a tech lab while Parting gets his warp tech and his first stalker. Marauders have begun coming from the barracks with concussive shells starting production. Parting is expanding to his natural. The marauders and hellions move across the map, Parting scouts it but his nexus has finished so warps in additional stalkers as the units get to his natural. The bunkers start going up at the natural and Parting holds of the attack easily. JJakji cancels the bunkers and starts his own expansion back at home. Shortly after holding the attack parting throws down a robotics facility and JJakji starts his stim research along with two more barracks and a starport. A lone forge goes up for Parting. Third observer coming out from Parting while getting a twilight council while gettng +1 armour for his ground units. Stim finishes for JJakji and gets more upgrades for his barracks just as the templar archives starts for Parting. JJakji moves around the map not able to drop into parting's base but uses the high ground vision from the medivacs to kill two of the pylons on the outside of parting's base. In the meanwhile +1 weapons and charge start for parting along with archons. A ghost academy is thrown down for JJakji. JJakji lands a factory preventing the third of Parting from being created. After the factory goes down Parting starts storm research along with his third base but a marauder drop from JJakji forces a cancel instantly then escaping before any of his units are damaged. JJakji sends his forces to the center of the map scanning his army killing one of the observers. A marauder drop happens in the main taking out a high templar meanwhile the army of parting engages the main army of JJakji but is forced to retreat. The drop is cleaned up by an additional warp in of zealots. Another big drop from JJakji kills the units at home for Parting killing the robo before the observer can be remade at the same time jjakji moves into the third eating a lot of storm damage before killing the high templars and then the third base escaping before parting does his counter attack. JJakji engages parting's army in the middle of the map but loses a lot of his forces to storms but all the high templars die to JJakji's ghosts using snipe. The fourth base of Parting is up but a drop is on the way to it along with a drop to the third base. Parting warps in at the fourth while moving his main army to defend it but the main army of JJakji positions itself to attack but once again storms push him back. Colossus production starts for parting trying to go into a tech switch but air +1 and a second starport starts for JJakji. The main armies engage and a lot of storms and EMPs go off. JJakji has an advantage and moves into the fourth base sniping two colossus that have been left on their own. The fourth base falls. Parting GGs JJakji takes the game

Wow, such a good game, but jjakji is like seriously the best TvP player I've ever seen. Drops, army engagements, micro, he has everything.
|
Excellent game, TvP has a habit of becoming a bit boring, uneventful and blob vs blob but Jjakji and Parting both being awesome!

Playing standard and solid doesn't make you an attractive player. And Mvp already holds the spot for this category

Damnit , Parting is a really good player and havent heard of him , its always nice to see someone using straight templar tech and lots of obs to react to the terran.
Great Game!

It took quite a while before people started to really warm up to MVP as well.

He breezed into Code S this season (along with Brown), both of their GSL games are well worth checking out if you have time (even just the first game of their series since iirc they both play well all the way through ^^)
2 pretty awesome hopes for Protoss imo, neither are gimmicky either which is lovely.

khaldor if u didnt know you can press ctrl+w to remove the interface during big fights

Yeah, I find it sad that his stream only gets like 1k ish viewers. He's the god damn GSL champ.

Great Game! Yes, the mass obs is his trademark, in code A he made 6 on daybreak against I don't remember who. But here he could have handled the drops way better, he would have been in a much better position.

One base blink is a nice choice since it'll handle both that marine/hellion and a greedy FE well.
Looks like Jjakji's hellion gave him enough of a read on it though.

parting is the next big thing protoss wise

+ Show Spoiler [Battle Report Game Two] +Game Two on Calm Before the StormIn the bottom left is Parting while positioned in the bottom right is JJakji Parting opens up with gas then a gateway while JJakji opens the same followed by an early factory and reactor. Warp tech follows shortly after for parting along with his second gas. Parting opens up with twilight council tech along with a robotics facility and two more gateways. There is a Medivac on the way for JJakji. Blink for Parting. Jjakji now moves for siege tech after Parting kills the hellion. There is now a pylon at the natural of JJakji. Parting warps in a few stalkers and moves his observer into position to take down the bunker before a marine can get inside. The first observer goes down but the second is not seen by the scan allowing a blink up into the main killing both of JJakji's tanks and more marines. Scvs are pulled off the line but Parting keeps blinking around the base of JJakji preventing him from killing the stalkers. JJakji GGs Parting takes game two
|
Parting even double obs with his one base blink. The guy really loves obs.
|
JJakji metagamed, he assumed Nex first and went for his usual gas first 7-3-1 Marine/Hellion/Medivac play.. Still, he scouted no expand and could have defended had it not sieged so close to the edge. :/
|
Parting really impressive! Hope this third game is closer.

I really like the mass observer style of Parting. Wish more protoss would use it.
|
Wow parting is really good. Hes on top of everything in terms of reactions, army positioning storms. His mechanics seem really solid unlike many other protosses.
|
Parting man, he's so solid. Great decision making. Good army control.
SO HAPPY HE'S IN CODE S.
|
I'm under the impression that no protoss never wins on dual sight vs terran. They now win vs zerg on this map, but not terran. Perhaps it's just an impression tho :p

I really like Parting, the only other Protoss player I like after Mana. He's really good. Expecting big things from this guy.
|
Damn, really impressed by Parting! Havent heard of him before and he's playing code S next season? I guess I've no idea about what's going in the KR-scene...

Holy shit, parting is so good at defending early aggression.
One gate, stalker, 24 nexus into crushed two gate + 8 scv.
|
United Kingdom38056 Posts
o_O how the hell did he hold it that decisively.
great micro by both on the retreat, jjakji's marauders bouncing in and out of range to avoid being targetted while Parting's low health stalkers did the same.
|
parting really does know how to defend those pushes. really impressive stalker micro / target-fire
|
|
This kid. Is he a kid? 17, he's a kid.
SO GOOD. The decision making is just top notch. The only question i have is his big stage nerves. If those are ok, you know, i'm gonna get my hopes up.

What? That doesn't even sound possible. Wow.

I think he's the first protoss who crushes those pushes that easily. Seems only stalkers is the way to go against that, that's so counter intuitive. Well, I'm not protoss expert.
|
He hides the colossus ! Wow

On another note I am also pleasantly surprised to see the resurgence of tanks in TvP

Really top notch games between those two. gg wp both

Very nicely played by Parting.
I think we've only got PvP left now though =(
|
|
GG Parting. Well played sir, well played indeed.
So composed.
|
JJakji GGs Very nice by Parting
|
Wow, turns out 1 gate expand while making only stalkers counters 2 rax
|
Well both games Jjakji went tanks, he lost so don't think theres any resurgence haha.
Parting is really good, i think hes a dark horse to win the GSL next season.

I find I'm noticing tanks working better unsieged in TvP though. Might be worth ignoring siege mode and just tank spamming, they still do a lot of damage.

He made only stalkers off of 3 gates.
And then he target fired marauders with the stalkers while dancing probes back and forth tanking a bit of damage. The probe eventually went for a semi-surround on the bio before going back to mining once the marauders died.
I try what I think is similar to that and get crushed lol. Parting is very good.

I was starting to think that no build involving a quick nexus could counter that if scv were pulled, but it turns out that Parting solves =) I hope he doesn't reveal his cards too early tho and showing this won't bite him in code S.

Kinda blows my mind then when I see huk going zealot sentry after he scouts gas then.

Well, shows you that I'm not expert, I didn't knew that it was standard. But I think if you make a zealot or a sentry you die, especially a sentry.

He made all stalkers and no sentries or zealots. Seemed to work better against that sort of push (with godly micro of course).

Ok, time to go buy a PS3 :p I want to play dark souls ffs. Cya tomorrow in up and downs ! :D

Nice, the two i picked in the final made it. Well, i only pick Vampire because his name is Vampire.
COME ON PARTING

Yes I'm still here, I'm so lazy ><

|
What is he working on (khaldor)?
|
"This" and "that" I think.
|
WOaaaa Vampire's micro t.t
He had the worst possible opening vs a well executed proxy 2 gate.
Defends it no problem.
KOREANS Y U SO GOSU??
|
lol, it's ok Khaldor. You have a good excuse. A lot of fluent English casters overuse the word 'that' as well when they should say "the" or "his". It's as if they're pointing at the screens like morons while casting. THAT ARMORY, THAT ONE RIGHT THERE. When there's only one.
It annoys me when they do it, not when you do it.
|
So gosu
|
|
Wow, god damn these guys are good. Both of them made amazing plays.

Parting/Leenock/Keen I believe were all friends in middle school. All three probably the future of their races.
|
Wait so who won the last game? This colour changing has me confused >_>
|
Don't worry Khaldor, most people that get really irritated by minor mistakes like that just don't understand that it isn't as simple as saying "Hey you're making a mistake" -- "Okay, thanks, I'll fix that now!" I still think you're probably the best solo caster out there at the moment, which is incredible considering that English isn't you're native language. I'm always really impressed by how good you are casting in English, just keep up the good work.
You should still do some random German casts sometimes, though, I miss those -- I had no idea what you were saying but it was still pretty damn entertaining :-p
|
|
I still don't know who the hell is Parting and where he came from.
|
|
What is final score? Swamped at work.....can't watch games
|
What a horrible gateway placement by vampire
|
what a build!!! that is pvp mastery
|
wow such a good tactic, forcing him to come back into his main blinking out then trapping all the units with FF's, just a great strategy from parting
|
I'm so happy.
PARTING #1 Fan!!!1 ^_^

Congrats to Parting, SO GOSU²²
|
wow im impressed by Parting's play
|
Yay! Parting! I voted for him. :D
I'm so excited to see him play in Code S in January. Really, I think the next year of GSL will be incredibly awesome!
|
Parting is boss, a respectable and amazingly strategic player, would love to see Hero vs Parting series
|
Grats to Parting!!
I shall tweet him my adoration. Haven't felt this way about a Protoss in a while.
I BELIEVE.
|
What did khaldor say is next?
|
Parting 2:1 Vampire in the finals correct?
|
|
Well, that was effective lol
|
Parting' looking very impressive... hopefully he becomes a force in Code S as well... MC can't keep doing this by himself lol :D Great to have a good Protoss player who looks like he has a solid 3-way game. Hope Hero get' into Code S too!
