It works because no one does it (which sums up a lot of TLO's wins). Also doesn't really work vs supply depots. Heck, if marineking just went mass marines, TLO would have got rolled. | ||

Poor analysis by Doa. TLO had a very low drone count for the whole game and if not for his early pressure doing so much damage, he would have lost badly. I just find it hilarious they talk of remaxing when TLO has 0 minerals and 110 supply. Its as though they don't understand the fundamentals of zerg play at all. he wouldnt have been able to do that much damage if hed been making drones instead of zerglings. he doesnt need to "remax" when MKP is at 70 food and he's at 110, he just has to keep applying pressure to keep MKP's food low. i dont think MKP got above 140 food at any point in that game. "remax" was a bad choice of words by the casters but what they meant was keeping far enough ahead to keep killing 90% of MKPs army over and over again. honestly this kind of "analysis" is the bane of LR =/ | ||

MKP's splitting and reactions seem a bit sluggish IPL defaults to NA, unless the players can agree on another server (e.g. Two EU players would agree to play on EU). If TLO is in Europe and MKP is presumably on Seoul I think they might agree on NA so neither has the latency advantage. | ||

Stephano is the best example ever of how gimmicky play only works when your opponents don't expect it. Stephano has a terrible record vs Korean Terran's since they all discovered he's goes Infestor/Ling every game. | ||

And last time I checked his record was pretty decent. | ||

You guys............ Is it out of the realms of possibility that TLO has studied MKP and realised he might be weak to that attack? Maybe the map played a factor? TLO doesn't just pick a random insane strat and execute, he makes smart decisions that few other players make, backed by really solid mechanics and game sense. That game was a perfect example. Well microed (i.e. split at beginning and then grab small groups of lings to target down tanks) along with solid fundamentals (hitting every inject so he could keep up the swarm, having the right amount of drones to support it). Final comment: "Heck, if marineking just went mass marines, TLO would have got rolled." You think if TLO had seen mass marine or a tell for mass marine, he'd still have done it? If he'd seen a well prepared wallin he'd have amoved lings into it? You give him far too little credit. It was WP. | ||

Not sure what's happening, but sometimes he just runs his marines back to the tanks instead of splitting them, where I felt that splitting them would be by far the better option.There was also moments where he didn't react as fast and some of his units got trapped. Just my 2 cents | ||
