So what was his gameplan after killing the third? Did he think he could bait Gruby into lossing his whole Protossarmy? Why didnt the expand? He would run out of Minerals soon because of Mules. Waiting outside a wide area with Thors and Marines etc was pretty bad. he could expand behind after realising that Grubby wouldnt throw away the game. But he didnt. So he just waited for Grubby to roflstomp him.

The lionger he wasit outside the more Energy the Thors would have. The longer he waits the more Storms has Grubby. The longer he waits the more powerful Grubbys army gets.
Thats bad decisionmaking. He had 2 options. But he took the thrid: loose the game.

Game 1 wasnt good too. You dont want to play Mech on Tal Darim because you cant get a 4th.

I may not be korean grandmaster but im meching since beta and know my stuff.

uThermal, nothing personal but please don't beat Ret, we need our two best players to advance to have a chance to get someone into the global finals! Dutch national pride is on the line here!

Has this guy not cheesed in any games? Im not like a ret fanboy but it seems obvious that he knows that Ret/Grubby are better players and he's just cheesing for a chance to get into a tourney that he has no shot at winning.

Or is this for money?

There's money involved as well, but I think Nazgul should probably have bribed uThermal to make sure a situation like this doesnt happen

If ret loses to something like this twice in three games, he doesn't have a shot either...

Tppz!

@Alryk: You play to win. If you are worse than your opponent you do cheesy stuff and cut corners. Its jsut sad that Allins and Cheeses are so effective in SC2

How did Ret lose the first game?

What did Uthermal do?

Oh yeah I know. It's just funny that Blizzard put this in to instill some kind of "national pride" but a player is just trying to cheese out somebody who could represent them well

(I'm not a fanboy again and I'm not really worked up over it, I just find it funny)

@Blix, maybe its just a bad day for him, we all know Ret is a good player XD

But especially if there's money involved... that would probably be anybody's choice.

Edit: Lol, -almost- the exact same allin as vs Grubby
