The sad thing is,even if Genious woud have got 10 carriers he still would loose probably as zerg on 5-6 basses can produce enough corrupters to stop it.

I really want to see DRG win a standard game. So far his wins were based on countering gimmicky builds.

Haha DRG ftw! Gotta love the back and forth between them. If DRG hadn't dropped when he did Genius might have proved carriers are viable lol

Genius, in his interview, did say that he would let DRG win a couple so it could be an entertaining finals. If I remember right, he claimed he could 4-0 but would make it 4-2.

I guess being removed from the game is a buff, in a way.

If you can't build them, you won't lose because you built them :-p Makes sense.

Still a bit sad, such an epic unit in BW, would have been nice to see it have a moment here in SC2 too.

Is it me or did Genius lose this game on purpose?

nope. these guys know each other pretty well, so he probably thought it had some chance of winning (due to surprise, metagaming, w/e). Was it a for-fun build though? yea probably. but not completely unviable

Carrier is just so fucking bad, with 6 colossi you can wreck anything, but 6 carriers can't do any shit and cost much more on every way.

I don't think thats a fair game to prove that carriers are useless though, DRG had too much of an advantage when he sniped the 3rd.

If DRG didn't go drops and genius could stop the ground push with sentries and pushed with 200/200 carriers, it could very well have worked. Don't think genius will opt for such a build without it working in practise either.

Genius looks like he had really practiced that carrier build with his cannon placement etc. If DRG wasn't doing that doom drop I really think genius had a good chance there.
