MC vs DRG was extreme mindgames from MC. There are 2 main ZvP builds that DRG does, one is a mass roach style similar to stephano, trying to overrun the protoss on 3 base. The other is the fast broodlord style you saw in game 2. Metropolis is a fairly good map for the broodlord style, because it's easy to defend all your bases with mass spines, so MC knew DRG had a high chance of doing that build.

In game 3, MC made it look like he was going an immortal expand like he did in game 2 by hiding colossi and showing one immortal. DRG assumed MC could hold a roach pressure, with the immortal expand, so he went for fast broods. He "knew" he couldn't be punished, because siege units like colossi wouldn't be coming anytime soon and he could just hide behind a bunch of spines. If he had indeed done the roach aggression, he would have had a really really good chance of breaking MC.

However, MC hid the robo bay/colossi, chornoing 3 colossi and following up with a warp prism. He didn't add a twilight and essentially did a 3 base colossi all-in push at 13:30, when he knew the standard bl timing is 15:00. Except this wasn't risky; MC pretty much knew had a 100% chance of winning as soon as he scouted the infestation pit and hive.

I do enjoy reading posts like this, giving more insight into the mindgames. More of these please everyone, less 'omg unit x is broken' after every game

Was watching that game from MC's view, was a thing of beauty seeing his splitting vs the fungals, blinking onto the high ground for better concaving etc.

No one usually cares enough though.


very interesting, still a shame we cannot get people that could explain us such things to cast the games.
yes, casting is a job, if all you can say is describing things i can see with my eyes,i will just tell you, i am not blind.

It looks like foreigners are afraid of koreans, but maybe koreans start to get afraid of Stephano and it affects their gameplay ? (not speaking about top ones though, but maybe code A / low S ones feel the need to prove themselves against Stephano and it affects a bit their gameplay)

can you idiots stop bashing heart? its stupid how retarded you act


people are just pointing out his playstyle, which is cheesy, plus he's playing the foreigner hope so you have to expect some vitriol

I wasn't aware Naniwa was actually here?

In all seriousness though, I think SC2 needs players like Heart. A divergence of styles and approaches to the game makes it more interesting from a spectator's point of view. Plus iirc even Flash was a bit of a cheeser when he first broke through in BW before becoming the macro machine he is today.

Hope I don't get smited for such blasphemy saying that

Symbol will show his run in Iron Squid was not an upset, he is very talented extravagant zerg, a big fan of baneling traps !

This is really the tournament of upsets...

Polt > DRG
Grubby > Oz
Inori > Losira
MC > Ganzi
Stephano > MC
Goody > MMA
Grubby > Ryung
Dream > Leenock
MC > DRG

None of these were particularly likely to happen IMO.

Wow. Dream loosing to Symbol in WR1 just to play 4 TvZ to get a rematch against Symbol. And if he wins and Violet looses against Polt he gets to play even more TvZ...

I'm upset that Ret didn't make it that far. I guess his ZvZ isn't that strong.
