1base again? Wow, pretty dissappointing. Especially after seeing his play vs asd, I was expecting more. Maybe he had a bad day or perhaps tvp is his weak mu, however this wasn't what I was expecting.

Choya kinda screwed himself over in that game.

At the very least we can infer that Illusion does not have much confidence in his TvP and is not willing to play a macro game.

Getting 3 1 base games in a row is not very interesting.
Hoping for at least 1 macro game

The difference between a weak TvP'er and a strong TvP'er is how well they can execute a 1/1/1 anyway =p

I cannot say what was the reasoning behind his strategies, but I am sure he had sufficient reason behind them to do them in a tournament. First 2 games were unsuccessful, but 3 game at least got him the win. Maybe his TvP is his weakness matchup (likely), but his TvT and TvZ are strong.

I only responded because I did not want people to get the impression that Illusion is a bad, cheesy player. He is definitely capable of playing strong macro games.

Choya just did something dumb. That game was not indicative of either player.

At any rate, Illusion looks inconsistently both good and bad. Not sure what else to say to be honest.

Well Puma has demonstrated that he can play a solid macro game tvp.

Havn't seen that from Illusion yet, ofc I havnt seen that much but still. Seems weird to play only all ins vs Incontrol if you know how to play macro tvp, seeing as incontrol isnt that strong. Theres a difference.

Choya did a 1 base blink stalker all-in. Illusion got marauders and expanded. GG from there.

I can understand the point of the tank push on Crossfire, but three times in a row is pushing the boundaries of "sound strategy".

Funny thing is, Hero won Dreamhack because he abused Puma's greedy marine expands with fast stalker pressure.

I kinda wish casters wouldn't say "player x won WCG" when they really mean "won the WCG qualifiers for their country"

hrm yeah, looking like Illusions TvP is just not very good.
