Ugh... people are reading that game wrong. That was actually a REALLY GOOD strategy. Carriers with +air attacks which is what Genius was doing snowballs really quickly and become extremely cost efficient. It was a really good build to mix into a best of 7 and a really good map to do it on cuz you can turtle on three base which is what you need to support carriers.

Genius wanted to win. We could all see it in his face. He wasn't trolling.

I'd believe you if I saw carriers winning more than 1 out of 50 games.


I do that build on the ladder a LOT so i realize how razor thin the timing window for DRG was. He moved in exactly at the right time. That in combination of Genius losing a grip of phoenixes flying over hydras and not scouting the incoming overlords even though he had mass phoenixes. Also, not having the carriers in position to defend the third hurt him really badly as well.

You should probably read the article John the Translator wrote on how KeSPA is the Blight of eSports.
Bringing KeSPA into the discussion does little to make your points look any better, unfortunately.


By "Blight of eSports" do you mean bringing professional gaming to the closest we've been to a culturally accepted level?

Genius gave up the moment he decided to rush carriers. If he hadn't done that, maybe some of the momentum would still be on his side going into the last matches. No matter what booth shenanigans, one of them was going home feeling like shit. I think DRG didn't want this match to create any animosity and tried to create a friendly atmosphere, which may have seen like bm to the viewers.

As in John said KeSPA was terrible and evil and money grubbing and didn't allow expansion of esports outside of Korea due to blackmail and threatened lawsuits.

Nice finals, gratz to DRG, I predicted him winning 4:2.

I truely dislike Crossfire though and imo it needs to go. Protoss can never ever secure a third base so as long as Zerg builds a ton of spinecrawlers he can never ever lose. Remember the final battle of the game? A few stalkers cramped up behind the mineral line of DRGs third while he attacked with his left-over mutas. I don't like that this map forces weird scenarios like that and it's just a bad map in general. Please remove it, gom! Only thing I didn't like about the finals, everything else was great!

It's your fault for not keeping up, they changed the spoiler policy a week ago and there is a button on the front page to " Hide Spoilers "

At what level?I don't mean that to discredit you, if it's actually being done at a higher level than mid masters, I'd be interested in seeing some replays.
I like the part where sense is considered a common, settled thing.

And you trust John to give a perfectly objective view of KeSPA when he works for a company that was basically shit on by them? KeSPA does stupid stuff like all corporations (including GOM! gasp), but you cannot deny the boundaries BW pushed, and KeSPA was a part of that.

Right, because what we expect from the best players in the world (particularly those named Genius) is to not innovate, and never figure out new ways to use units unexpectedly.

And when these best players in the world do happen to find these very surprising strategies, we expect them to use them in on the Ladder or something to make sure they're given away before they really count.

Perfect logic.
I hope Plexa's sig is right.
