It's really interesting how that one misblink by Squirtle against Nestea completely changed the tournament. Stephano would have had a Squirtle-Alive-Grand Final route instead of Nestea and MMA, would have been his tournament to lose at that point.

Can anyone give me brief summaries of the previous round? I was in the car
(mma vs stephano, mkp vs squirtle)
Much appreciated!

MKP Squirtle :
g1 : MKP 1rax FE, fast expo for P as well. MKP fast 3rd cc inbase. Squirtle hides 2 colossus and then pushes out with 6gates, MKP did not scout it so wasn't able to prepare accordingly (colossus on 2bases is great response against fast 3rd cc).
Game 2 nexus first for Squirtle, 1rax reaper expo does 3 probes and 1zelot kill.
Squirtle defends everything on 2bases whereas MKP 3rd cc again, MKP agressive but cant deal real dmg, he then dies trying to defend his third.

Thanks!

This is a big shift in the PvT metagame, finally we know the proper response to terran 3 cc play

It's not like it's the most marvelously brilliant idea, it's been out since the beta practically.


Thats not the point, I mean we can now say that the proper response to the 3cc build is 2 base colo.

Ofc the build has been around for ages, but twlight/2 forge has been more dominant midgame pvt recently than colo.

MC vs MVP on Shakuras MLG Providence showed that 3 cc into double upgrades into 4 rax marine BUT with dilligent scouting has no problem beating 2 base colossus. MVP made lots of bunkers and had a huge concave and vikings.

MMA didn't scout at all. He saw the collosus when they were 10 seconds away from his base. He wasn't prepared. There should be no balance whining here about that game. It's like losing to Dt's in a PvP when you see your opponent take two gas and only zealots and not building some sort of detection.

nvm thanks poopi

Squirtle is playing the matchup well right now because TvP Korea is Protoss goes templar tech before collos. So MMA and MKP basically are dying to 2 base collosus pushes.

and MMA just outplayed Stephano in both their games. Multidrops, multi nukes, 5 sensor towers, wasn't really close. Would still watch it though cause MMA won in dominating fashion.

Even if MMA didn't go fast third i dont think T can defend this timing. this is a crazy meta game counter thing. so strong


Uh what? No fast 3rd = faster starport = vikings. You need vikings vs colossi. 2-base colossi has been around since beta.

Stephano, HuK, NaNiWa.

Yes I think if Huk was in this trounament he would have done really well as too.

he was in the tourney. he got eliminated really early.


In a loser's final in the open bracket isn't all that early.

I would suggest that Sase, Thorzain and Illusion are also quite good we have less than ten quality players who are close to being on a level with the Koreans. I hope that eventually there will be good forgien players in the GSL on their own skill and making deep runs a la Jinro and Huk. Eventually we'll have a GSL winner, I hope.

its relative. if you dont get out of the open bracket, i consider that early.


Consider the open bracket though, he was top 16 out of 128 which included about half of code S, and Code A most of the top Foreign talent and a lot of no names some of whom it turns out are really good.
Decent enough point though, open bracket isn't its own tournament. But I still think Huk easily could have come out and, if he had, he would have done decently in groups.
TL Mafia. Love it. Play it. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/index.php?show_part=31 I find Kennigit really attractive. If anyone has a picture of him please feel free to PM it to me.

This is retardedly good for Nestea.

Squirtle killed MKP with the same.. would you say MKP's is fucking terrible as well?


MMA didn't try to do a thing that game. He didn't scout, he didn't pressure, he didn't drop. He played vs. Protoss with blind greed and while that works vs. Zerg, it doesn't work vs. Protoss.

But you don't care about the colossus if MMA would win, just because your favourite player lost to a push it's retarded? :/


I wouldn't even argue. Passive aggressive balance whine should be ignored.

Please don't balance whine......it ruins the integrity of the games.

With that said, this anti-timing is REALLY strong and may be a bit too exploitative of the fact that terran can make medivacs and vikings at the same time at that point in the game.
Dirty Deeds...DONE DIRT CHEAP!!!

When MMA scouted the collosus with the factory, the only thing MMA could have done is sac the natural, build bunkers in main, get all units and SCV inside main and allow squirtle to pass through the ramp... Stalkers dont have blink and he cant risk collusus to go up the ramp with stim maruders...

Most Terran think it's stupid because you can't mech vP and it hardcounters bio.
