Hyperbole? Giving Brown way to much credit for the games shown. We've only seen him in action CodeS for 3 games, and you already claim that? I'm sorry, but without the proof/history to back up that statement, i had to chuckle. His "talent" as you so put it is at this point only your opinion, and it is of your opinion he's Round of 4 talent.

Holy shit, GSL improved so much since I've watched it last time. Overlays and improved free quality so good

C'mon MKP, play standard and don't make moronic decisions and you got this!

Yeah, but his main nexus was almost up again, anyway, he botched the game anyway :/

I spent the whole match thinking about how aLive was going to beat Brown and when he did I was really happy that I predicted right. But then I looked at my liquibet and I chose Brown  (((

He saw Marauders guess what in most cases it is not when the Terran builds Marauders , a 1-1-1 . And when he does as a followup to a 2 Rax he had to do damage before the 1-1-1 would've hit or the 1-1-1 woudln't be that strong. There was no reason to move that far away from his base with his whole army.

I feel like balance whine blinds people to actually watching the game and seeing what happened. Like you and several others have said it should have been an easy win.

He obs-scouted the base. He saw both marines and marauders, 2-barracks and no tanks. No way that is a 1-1-1. If he thought a 1-1-1 was coming, he deserved to lose.

Doesn't the fact that he saw marauders in alive's army make it quite clear that it wasn't a 1/1/1 or marine tank?
As such, he should have stayed at home, and reactively moved to pick units off if he'd seen a marine tank or whatever coming as a follow up, after sending a probe or a zealot to scout the front/hold the towers.
Edit; oh yeah, he had an obs too.
It was just atrocious decision making.

That's why I said "or some similar all in" which it was. You still have to slow down the army with FFs to buy time for your collosi to get out and for you to gain your economic advantage.

Wut, he knew it was a 2rax opener. The most common follow ups are either an expand into medivacs or the one base medivac all in that aLive was doing. Hell he had an observer out to scout everything after that point anyway. Cataclysmic failure on his part not to do so.

I'd blame it on nerves. He knew he was ahead, could be about to win his first code S series, and got ahead of himself without thinking.
