Well thats just because there is no zerg.

But it has been pretty decent, if one sided, for the total lack of zerg.

Complaining about entertainment value is becoming the new balance whine.

Lack of TvZ and PvZ does that. Zerg does make it more exciting


The game would be much better if it was just TvZ's all the time

Huuh. Taeja seemed to be at least a level behind Squirtle in these first two matches. Somehow I have the impression that Taeja didn't prepare good builds or it just seems so because Squirtle is hard countering him.


Taeja went fast vikings in game 2- if Squirtle had done the same build as game one he would have got owned. In that sense Squirtle was 'lucky' I guess but changing up builds each game is also good play.

Prediction: A few months from now, early ghost academy (and treating ghosts like sentries by letting them sit and build energy to increase their usefulness later) will be almost standard, or at least somewhat common, in TvP

That was messed up, how can you just attack up a ramp like that?


Taeja did lose 25 workers to the blink stalkers. I guess he took too much damage and ended up with too few units?

Taeja had a bigger army supply because the supply was even but he had way less workers, taeja also had better upgrades and supposedly a better position, but if 3 siege tanks and 3 bunkers won't do it, I don't see how mere chokes will.

Come on Taeja, you can beat this 2 baser....


Squirtle was making a third son.


After 15min with no forges.......
He intended a 2base push and after it failed, he had to take a third. o.O

They do, but Taeja isn't using them at the moment. Squirtle is just being let to play his own game which Taeja needs to stop if he wants to take this series.

, because until then most Protoss said they found early ghosts more difficult than early medivacs.


2 factors. Nerfed EMP and the good Protosses are splitting their sentries/templars better. Ghosts are great is you can land that hero emp which catches 3+ sentries or templars. If you don't, marines and maruadars do more DPS.

Oh come on, that was sick. The tense blink in that Taeja just manages to avoid dying from.


TL LR rule # 12243: ¨Only when my team wins the game is entertaining¨

Pretty much. That was really clutch from TaeJa, loved that part. The final engagement was just really boring. overall entertainment value wasn't that good, but the game had that warp prism/blink part which was really cool to watch. IMO.

Lack of TvZ and PvZ does that. Zerg does make it more exciting


TvZ at least. PvZ is a pretty shitty right now, it revolves around mothership to an absurd degree in the late game once the zerg has critical mass of broods.

The quality of games was quite bad if you compare to the last 2 GSLs.
