Ace was consistently supply blocked and low on Gateway cooldowns. He lost a lot of pylons and gateways to the Muta/Bane attacks and did not keep up with replacing them. When his Gateways were up he warped in Stalker/Sentry.

This lingbling muta style was invented by morrow about half a year ago, and it has been the new pro trend in korea for a bit less than a month now. Dimaga, MC and morrow were talking about it briefly during IEM.

Tbh I'm disappointed Leenock didn't go for Cybernetics Core when he pushed some of his forces into Ace's main. More zergs should kill that building first, to get rid of Stalker production. Would've saved him many units, with limited ranged units from P.

When you warp in templar you have to wait a while before you can use them, and if you are under that much pressure you feel like you need every little bit of resources into units that can fight, right now.

At least those are my 2 cents.

I'm thinking this too. Then again, a pro gamer should be able to keep calm under any stressful situation.

I think he had enough gas for like 10 archons. They would ve raped that comp easily.

10archons cost 20*150 = 3000gas (+1000min) and 20 warp-ins, he never had 3000gas and couldn't spare the warp-in. His defense was razor-thin. If he used his gateways on templars he would lose at least one base and many probes and stalkers before being able to use them at which point leenock could just back off a bit. In addition leenock was all over. Many templars and archons would be sniped way before they finished merging (or building energy for storm).

leenocktopus showing exactly the difference between a code S level player and a code b/a level player


I strongly agree with your thoughts.

Ace simply did not have the multitasking and macro to compete with Leenock in that match. Ace was frequently supply blocked and floating 1000/1000. Ace couldn't keep up with replacing Gateways, Pylons and warping in new units while microing his units.

I must admit that Leenock kept the pressure on with Muta banes and there was tons of micro and decisions to do. I find it incredibly difficult and I find it incomprehensible that humans are capable of actually doing everything required to defend that. Yet, Code S players somehow find a way to keep up with all of those things. Ace is not on par with some others.

The somewhat bad start Ace took put Leenock into a strong position for this constant harassment. Even being a code S class player wouldn't save a player when he happens to be in such a situation. I don't think it is Ace being outmicroed, I really found his micro pretty decent actually. It's more about some questionable decisions for his opening and then the fact that he didn't make HTs/archons.

If Sniper loses this, he's out, I believe. He'll end up 1-2 with the possibility of 2-2, but he will have lost to InCa and GanZi (who have yet to versus, so one of them ends up with 2 wins), so he won't advance at all.

If Sniper loses, Leenock is guaranteed through...

Thanks for confirmation on the Leenock-in-Code-S-already matter. Seems like I have to look at least one more game to be sure my favorite cuddle-Zerg secured his spot before I have to do some work.

Moletrap, that's not a makarax. That's actually the correct position to put your rax so they cant put your overlord in that derp ledge when you want to 1rax FE, and see gas timings.

Same. But yet, he needs to protect them from the HTs. And Leenock being in the situation he was in, he had the choice to just constantly trade a few mutas for these HTs.
But well yes, he could still have build some archons.

Ace's micro was really good so definitely not B level on this game imo.


I just dont think that strat actually works well vs muta aggression on the maps he got.

Well I was talking about the micro. His strat was not the best but again I would say he's a decent code A player imo, and his multitask not bad at all.
