I thought it was dicey for MMA to load up those two medivacs to counter-drop, but it was perfect decision making and he held off like a boss.

im agreeing with you except hurting esports part :D

aLive isnt a interesting player, just another solid terran.


I disagree 100%, These last months aLive has clearly stepped his game up and i enjoy his play,

Not all of us loves MC either. Shame no other Protoss players are left though =/

he is not stepped his game up, just started to making more 1 base pushes.

other than, he is a robot and his game play isnt interesting at all.

LOL That's so far from the truth why do you just shit on every thread with your bias.

The medivac timing from MMA will probably send 4 hellions out on the map while PuMa is pushing, if he can defend this, he's in a good position but with delaying his CC he cannot afford to take any more economy losses.

Why not building a Planetary at the third when going mech? I don't get it. And better get turret range.

MMA is sitting literally right on top of his third, no need to get it when you want to push at three base. Plus, he's a SlayerS Terran. Greed runs strong in the royal line.
lol he just built a PF beside his third

Despite there being no basetrade this game reminds me of PuMa MKP on this map in the groupstage lol, quite similar imo.

All but 1 viking were killed, that's HUGE, if PuMa takes air control he can drop and win this easily.

nvm: basetrade mode engaged.

If MMA played like he did in Game 2, he gets crushed. If he plays like he did in game 3 or 4, it could be close or MMA comes out ahead.

MMA's TvT is quite erratic, at times it is the finest in the world, other times it is simply average.

i thought it was absolutely nuts at the time since i thought puma was about to overrun him . . . of course, he's MMA and i clearly didn't remember to take that into account.

May wanna google fallacy... aLive got to where he is on the scene by strong macro oriented play, he is one of the only Terran in the world that can beat Protoss consistently in the late game. His TvT and TvZ play generally consists of multitasking heavy drop play while continuing to macro up and win with superior decision making and positioning. 1 base lol.

aLive's TvP isnt even top 3, also his TvZ isnt that great if you watched his GSL games/last games

about his TvT, he is a good TvT macro player but using 1 base all-ins very often.

He must be a good macro player, but he is a robot, another uninteresting Korean terran.
