that's why I don't like ZvP... there is just no battle of control or something. It's scouting and guessing. drg didnt even try to delay the push. like artosis said, if he made a read and assumed a greedy expo, he should have been able to tell that he was mindfucked when he saw no army movement for so long. his speedlings were constantly moving in and out, yet he felt it unnecessary to alter his game plan until he had a huge army knocking at his front door.
Wrong. He realised something was up after Genius kept faking to make the 3rd, continually making lings.
He just couldn't produce enough stuff, because Genius hit the timing before Infestors were out with Fungal and DRG had invested into the tech for them.

It's a bit embarassing that they blantantly rip from ASOT rather than getting the full songs. EDM isn't that hard to come by guys, you're a business you can pay $2.50 on Beatport for the full track? Really?

Seriously, is it suppose to lag this much????

I hate this caster overhype. Genius is gambling the entire series on coinflips.Gz to him if he wins, but I'm not impressed by the play whatsoever, I wish Tastosis would tell this like it is; he's gambling with this series. He's playing against his teammate who he practices 12 hours a day with. Yep, in really unimpressive games. Like I said, congrats if he wins, but he's not showing any good play, just flipping a coin and hoping he comes out on the good end, it's not good play at all.
thats sorta what happens when teammates play each other. they know each others style to well

gotta ask again, whats the song during the Vegas ad?

About Genius cancelling the 4th gas: There's no reason not to. Even if he keeps it and chooses not to mine, a player at DongRaeGu's level will, if he scouts it again, click on the gas to see how much has been mined. Better save those 50 minerals!

Pretty boring finals so far. You would think that build-order wins wouldn't work so well at this level. Yeah, I hope they fix the game in HotS, at this level games should be exciting to watch  Protoss design just doesn't work for esports. What? You think you can just execute that BO blindly and have it work? TT
Nope, I know it is hard, and Genius is one of the best in the world and my favourite P (for what that is worth). What I posted was a wish for entertaining games. Just because Genius play perfect all-in doesn't make this esport or entertaining at all.

Anyone know what MC is tweeting so much about? Is he supporting DRG or Genius?

did Genius really need to cancel the gas? Was that 75 minerals really that clutch? artosis hype is making me suspect no. its only 50 minerals. and yea i dont see it at the 8 min mark. 4 min mark yea. but by 8 mins 50 minerals cant have that big of an effect.
It's not about having that much of an effect, it's about perfecting the build. That extra 50 minerals, allows you to build one more probe without changing any other timings of the build.
This is mastery, not 'roughly good enough'.

Then download a replay of that build from a progamer and try to it the exact same timing. Maybe then you will know if it has an effect or not.

Casuals arn't Esports people they are more intrested in reality TV or what's going on in the fashion world.
Esports is for gamers, by gamers.

Do you even listen to the casting? They clearly explained how Genius tricked DRG into the wrong response. And it was obvious that even DRG did not expect blinking into the low ground. These are all the subtle tricks that marked a top player. You're not going to get super build breakthrough at this level of the game. Every single minor thing matters now. If Genius was perfect in game 2, he would have won as well. People need to remember that this is a STRATEGY game and right now for all the first 3 games, Genius had the better STRATEGY.

on KR server, they do every little thing that can give them an advantage to win. It doesn't matter what, they will do it if they think it gives them an advantage. That's one of the difference between the servers.

It's 75 minerals and the fact that 3 probes are mining gas instead of minerals.

The only thing that was really smart was the not getting the forge upgrades, the gas cancel was pointless and the entire game was fairly boring.

You totally missed the mindgame. By showing the 4th gas Genius tricked DRG into thinking he was going for a gas heavy build, as in, NOT a blink-stalker 7 gate push. Thus he was underprepared. If he had known what Genius was going for, he certainly wouldn't have upped melee damage instead of armor, and he would have retained more slings instead of letting them die to +1 zealots.
It's not in the build, it's in the execution where the fun was.
