I totally agree. It is stupid to think he wanted to get lucky with a nuke, it was all tactical movement and a strategy to control space. Sure Jinro made some smaller mistakes, and so did Elfi. But it is laughable to see all those people calling it a terrible game.

Elfi had some very good decisions for example when he managed to kill the planetary 2 times in a row when jinro was out of position, good reactions to nukes and had very nice army micro with zealots in front and hts out of emp range etcetera.


I understand that he was trying to control space, but he wasn't doing it very effectively. Watch MVP use defensive nukes against Lucky for example. He doesn't throw nukes everywhere at random, he uses them sparingly to continuously drive back the deathball. Jinro was constantly wasting nukes when Elfi wasn't even considering moving out.

Also, considering Elfi's previous play, I think drops would have worked wonders even in late game.

game 2 wasn't bad play, but relative to something like the lategame genius vs sc (i think sc) in the gsl it was pretty freaking sloppy. Elfi attacking up the ramp with his archons infront of his zealots was cringe-worthy.

I can't see Jinro winning this, but Elfis multitasking is terrible so maybe harass will get him back in. He was really ahead all last game and barely squeezed through now hes pretty far back.Needs his third asap.

I understand bad play when I see it.

Some of the engagements were a bit sloppy but jinro's game plan and transitions were brilliant. Despite elfi's greedy opening, jinro pulled off very very good transition timings and had a strong overarching game plan. Of course, all you see is the engagements and ignore the strategical decisions.


I understand the overall strategy, I just think it's a very ill-advised strategy for the matchup. A lot of its success was an indirect byproduct of Elfi's indecisiveness with army movement.

strategy:
mass nuke to zone out the map, get lots of expos
contain with nuke and sniping obs, get more CCs to zone out more of the map.

that's the game plan. He didn't sac those scvs as well, he just had so much of the map that those scvs stormed to death didn't matter lol

Actually I'd not call his play terrible, yet I wouldn't call it brilliant either. There's a lot of things he could've done better. Just one example would be getting more ghosts, less marauders and more marines. Anyways I did enjoy the game, people calling him terrible have no clue but it wasn't the best play possible.

It's hard to produce a perfect unit composition when playing such a stressful game imo


I don't blame a player for mistakes, yet thats his task. Make your game (plan) work and make your transitions and timings work. He's a proplayer so obviously he is allowed to make mistakes, but his aim should always be to have a near perfect to perfect game even if it is very hard.

Also I don't think the game itself was that stressful. He could have played a lot more defensively and make it very hard for elfi to engage. Actually I think the defensive stance of Terran in lategame is even better than attacking!

Anyways what I wanted to say is that no one here should BASH players for mistakes or not perfect play, just because there are some players out there that are above ones level, there is no reason not to appriciate the play we just saw.

It's hard when you don't specify witch interview with QXC. Don't expect everyone to be up with the news by the minute.

Anyway, thanks for the answer.

btw, was wondering why they are allowed to play on their own accounts, since between games teammates can go and tell tips and tricks how to beat his enemy?
