I called it earlier. Quick 3-0... just 2EZ for Bomber since he beat Mvp who beat Squirtle. How did I know this would happen? Oh yeah, it's called I used my brain over my fanboy emotions.
I'm glad Bomber isn't my favorite player (he's up there though). No way I'd be able to handle how up and down he is haha, although MMA is coming close these days.

I really think he has to study more diverse strategies for the mid-game to surprise his opponent... If he doesn't do it, his code S spot will no last long...
Now in korea there is a 200/200 roach timing with overlord drop(not even need speed now) that is almost impossible to hold, as you have to defend 3 different places while the ffs are almost useless
IMO this literally is a HUGE problem right now once zergs start learning this
you dont even need roachspeed OR lingspeed, just spend 300/300 on drops and protoss has to defend 3 locations at once while you drop 200food of roach/ling into the toss main at TWELVE MINUTES LITERALLY
honestly lingspeed/roachspeed loses its value after mass forcefields at in play. imo might be better to skip lingspeed and just get droptech for a 200max drop at 12 minutes
this new 200food max + drops strategy thats been going around the korean ladder is KILLER. i agree once stephano starts doing that its gonna be WTFHAX
Well. I guess Protoss is going to get a buff soon then. How the hell do you best that??
PvZ is the matchup where the worst aspects of SC2 design collide, and it appears to constantly find new ways to be retarded. Warpgate all-ins on one hand, and Zerg maxing out with 60 drones at 11:30 on the other, aren't Spawn Larvae and Warpgates fun? I actually hope this turns out to be impossible to defend (which is quite likely, given how difficult it is to defend a standard roach max), just to see Blizzard try to patch it out of the game in some amusing way. Maybe they'll move overlord drop to Hive?
They'll probably have to do that. I don't see any other way to beat that.
stargate play?
That's good if you have FFs to hold off the Roaches, but overlord drop negates that.

Because if he did, he would take MVP's role.
And that was what we kind of all thought when we first witnessed Bomber's rise through the GSL. He looked superb, he could out-macro anyone and everyone, he controlled well, he had no weaknesses.
And he still looks like that when he is on form. But dear lord that tournament to tournament fluctuation.
Bomber did not lie when he said TvP is his best match up. I would love to see him play against PartinG, no wonder why the later is so good at the match up!
I'd like to see PartingGs vs. Bomber now because PartinG's Templar control should crush those kinds of armies completely. So i'd assume Bomber plays Marauder heavier against him.
