Apparently some people are dumb enough to STILL be asking for it, so let's make things clear:

Do NOT ask for re-streams, and do NOT post re-streams.

Do not come here and muddle the thread by bitching about PPV.

So did Nestea really use the mousewheel trick on Antiga vs nani? I feel like its cheating and would be rather disappointed at Nestea if he did use it.

Not sure if it's cheating, but it looked like it. He dropped like 30 infested terrans in like 0.5 seconds. Not sure if its possible with another method.


It was mentioned on state of the game that no tournaments have banned the mousewheel trick. so while not " cheating " in a sense that the tournament could punish him, It's still a point of debate in the community I guess.

Yeah that's what I meant. I'm not even sure myself if I consider it a cheat or not (intuitively I'd say not I guess).

personally i find it is abusable where it can give certain players the advantage and would force nerfs where they normally wouldn't be (like if ghosts could shoot so fast that it would force a snipe nerf) for players not abusing it would be unwarranted.

ZvP needs some serious rework, it seems like every battle is predicatble in the following way

if the protoss is in a choke or ahs forcefields he wins
if no forcefields but is maxed with a good deathball teh toss wins
othersise the zerg wins

its not that black and white but it seems that to be 90% true after watching some of teh ZvPs

You're a bit behind. Zerg deathball owns all unless toss is lucky with a vortex on unspread broods. But yea toss is built around FF mechanic till about 15 min. Hit them and split them you win, don't you lose. What used to be in BW powerful and expensive units are just expensive these days and protoss can't survive losing them to any degree and FF is the equalizer.

you can do it with shift queue


This, if you shift move the Infestors and spam a bunch of Infested Terrans, they all come out at the same time when the Infestors stop moving.

i dont think i saw any ZvPs get to the late game though seems toss are understanding that taking a third base and pushing out with a powerful army before broodlord infester cant be stopped with good forcefields

Really Impressed by Naniwa`s play today, hes always been solid, but man today he really shined especially those cluth forcefields. No shame on going out of the tournament at that place.

I'm reposting this question because it got buried unanswered, and I have no where else to ask TT What games from Day 2 should I watch? I have an arena pass, but I was traveling all day. Would like to watch some good games before I go to bed.

Thanks! :D

Edit: Day 2 not Game 2. Oops.

If you're referring to LB Round 6, the 2-1 is the result of the previous series carried over into the extended series. It's going to be a Bo7.


O god, they're still implementing the extended series nonsense...sighs

lmao, what a weird bunch of people you guys are. naniwa gets cheesed again and again by three different zergs because they fear his mid/late game, and you still call HIM the lame one. what the actual fuck


The common factor here is that Naniwa opens very greedy, so an intelligent response to that is to cheese him and collect your free win.

The best players identify when to do this.


Yeah, except for the fact that its a 6 pool so they dont actually know through scouting information, they cheese and hope for a build order win. Hope you understand now..

You can say the exact samething the other way around too:

Naniwa takes the risk to Nexus first (even before forge) without scouting so they dont actually know through scouting information, they eco-cheese and hope to gain a build order advantage. Hope you understand now..


Yes, a slightly earlier nexus before forge is on the same level as a 6 pool. Christ all mighty, there is nothing more I can say.. your comment speaks for itself.

Both sides are taking a risk without scouting; in that if opponent went for one (or few) of the BO, they can lose immediately. So yes, it's the same thing.

my jaw dropped at those FF when i watched them


my #2 has to be when Tasteless said "I wonder if we're going to see a hatchery this game" in the Leenock/Naniwa G2 pre-game. Almost died.

Other than Naniwa vs Zerg, my favorite game was MC vs Parting game 2, but I'd love to see more macro games tomorrow. (Game two is neat, exciting and fun... But it's also very short).
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

I think DRG is the best player left but I doubt he'll win. He's on his last life so to speak, and with extended series he starts out down 1-2 against PartinG.
