It should not needed to have been said, but don't post or request for restreams.
Also, don't come in here exclusively to whine about PPV. |

You mean has a foreigner Z/P ever beaten a Korean Terran? Idra vs Bomber at MLG Orlando for one. I'm sure others exist, but that's the main one that stands out to me. I guess Idra vs Boxer, but it's more of an "upset" Boxer took that to game 7 than Idra winning.

Leenock just lost a game to DDE?
What is this?
A nightmare. Nestea lost... Leenock drops a game to DDE. I hate hate hate to say it, but I'm starting to wonder if some of the BW people complaints are right. Casual pros beating hard-core 10+ hours a day pros? And it's not even that rare suddenly.
Just look at the games itselft and you will know that it's all about Code S pros play really bad.

Nestea usually does well in defending early game rushes. It's the late game that gets him frazzled. Not entirely sure why.

I think people will realize that more when the BW pros switch over.
Where is this information that BW pro's are switching over?

San I would say in current form is their best protoss player, followed by Sage. I think he has one or two Code S ro4 appearances also.

false, leenock is fulltime, as confirmed by fxoBOSS. Keep pulling shit out of your ass and hoping people will believe it though, its a good strategy for life in general.

Hellions are pretty good huh :D

So is mech suddenly viable in a match up now?
Mech has always been viable in TvZ and TvT...

LOL no. Mech is horrible tvp
Why is that? If I had to guess, it'd be Immortals.
It's everything.
I don't understand. T_T
immortals, zealots, stalkers, hts, collosi, voidrays, dts.
literally almost every unit.
People haven't properly tried out mech vs protoss yet.
They did.
It sucks.
Wait for battlehellion and anti stalker goliath.
End of story.
Nobody who has the skill to pull it off has tried it.
They did and got ripped to shreds like everybody else....

Only losing 8 drones to that is pretty damn good, and he only lost that many because he tried to fight with em at the last second.

I was talking about Thorzain vs Sheth on daybreak right now And Thorzain was severly behind after a huge ling runby killing 25scvs, but hey whatever. Terran lategame is as strong as always and Mech is probably not even as figuered out as well as bio is. It's a pretty widely accepted fact that Mech is superior to Bio in TvZ, it's just ALOT harder to play, due to less mobility, less strength until higher supplies, etc. With the ghost nerf, hopefully Mech gets more developed. Also, DDE just beat Leenock. Huh? I have yet to see anyone say that Mech is superior to bio. Mech is easier to use then bio I would say. With bio not only do you have to macro really well, you have to micro well, drop and have really good multi tasking. Mech doesn't require hardcore micro like marines, a few banelings won't kill 30 thors for example while it can kill a ton of marines if the terran fucks up. For foreigners I imagine mech is stronger but bio from a korean terran is so much stronger then mech imo.
I think Mech in TvZ is similar to mech in TvT. Bio requires more multi-tasking, but mech is often a lot harder to play. It's a lot more unforgiving and every decision has more weight on it than when u play bio. It's also harder to play a scrappy game when behind playing mech (of course, the thorzain and demuslim games just then contradict this).
We'll have to see how mech involves before u can say either is stronger. It was developing at quite a fast rate b4 ppl started just relying on ghosts instead. Now hopefully the pros really grind it out.

The best range a a siege tank has to seige is approximately its maximum range + the time it takes for the tank to set up. So against zerg its about one screen away off creep, 1.5 screens on creep against standrad ling/bane, and a bit lower if its against roach.
For Protoss however, it is approximately 2 - 2.5 screens away just against chargelots or blink stalkers. At least 1.5 screens against immortal and colossi. You need the tanks staggered in such a way that colossi cannot hit multiple tanks, and at the same time close enough that they can all hit at the same time. Furthermore, tanks cannot hit immortals or they lose out about 30 damage a shot for every shot that is used on an immortal. Furthermore, marine marauder and medivac is able to sustain a lot more damage overtime, whereas there is nothing good for terran to tank with as hellions do negligable damage, so the toss should just focus down the tanks, approxinmtely 3 shots by an immortal. And to add to that, if the protoss goes star tech, carriers and phoenixes are both really great against mech compostions based around the tank, and even with templar/gateway tech, counters become stronger, dts become more effective and hts can feedback thors, storm clumped tanks/hellions and archons are also a great alternative to tanking tank shots instead of immortals. There is almost nothing a group of tanks is naturally good against except non-blink stalkers.

No matter how much you practice but if you play bad you will lose. That's why Nestea and Leenock lost.

Also, DDE just beat Leenock. well, if you have read TL in the last days (since the patch has been anounced) it rather sounded like it is widely accepted that Terran can't beat Zerg in the lategame (when Mech is strong) and that bio is the one and only build that requires skill in all of SC2, while anything else is just 1a or unit queing... But yeah, I completly agree with you.
Do you really like trolling LR threads with this bullshit?

hrm how did thorzain let sheth save most of his drones there :s
