Why is this map still in GSL? No way Genius could take 3rd


So what? had he not let DRG get the 3rd up with spines he would have won.


There were a lot of things genius could of done differently but it doesn't take away from how terrible this map is.


His blink stalkers "only" needed to control all the expos on the other side of the map looking for that third, which would be defended by several spines the second it got up.

Also defend against any posible muta harrass in his mineral lines.

Easier said than done :D

How can people call this GSL finals bad, when it's been WAY better than the finals for MLG/Assembly/IEM etc.

Right, had he had maphax he would have won? Cool.

This is some funny balance whine.

I think Crossfire is stupid and in most other maps DRG would have had no way to come back, but Genius did botch the game.

Coz the last game genius made a mistake that is below plat level, he can take any expansion when he had the army advantage but he chose to do the only 1 out of the 9999 things that could possibly lose him the game

yeah, but at least we had one make it to the finals and put up a decent showing. It just took the statistically best month ever for protoss to manage it.

Or if he didn't choke in games 5 and 6

Nah it was Jjakji vs Leenock. Much higher level.

DRG continues the trend of GSL champions having girlfriends during their title run.


Oh and I was wondering for ages what the best way to get a girlfriend would be. Seems to be a 100% legit strategy to just go win a GSL. Brb, 3 years of starcraft training to do.

I like this one better. Maybe its because I play Protoss, IDK.


I was playing Protoss when MMA vs DRG occurred, so I'm not TvZ-biaised, but I don't know. I feel like Genius shot himself in the foot with the carriers, and Crossfire did not help him at all either.
