Yeah but he still didn't have enough viking against the colossus and all the energy in the medivacs wouldn't be enough when he had pushed Alicas base earlier. So it didn't work great. | ||

That's why he generally excels vs fast HTs, because he's just producing so much more. He plays a lot better than you do, a lot more than you do and unlike you, he knows what he's doing. Quiet you. He spends his early gas on more Medivacs over ghosts so that he can heal each unit thru the storm damage he does take. The need for vikings after collosus is tricky because reactively making vikings rarely works. | ||

Then Alicia rushed HT, and MKP got his midgame bio timing. But, Alicia was on 2base so he could defend while rushing to HT, so his army was about the same as if he'd gone for a third. His army might have trouble defending 3base, but 2base wasn't really a problem. Feedback on MKP's double drop into the nat shut it down pretty effectively. MKP couldn't bust through, and after he saw HT + storm, he tried to go marauder heavy to tank storms but marauders suck vs. zealots. He got pushed back across the map, and before he could wall off his third chargelot/ht/sentry got in and forced it to lift off. They postured a bit, Alicia got his third and began switching to colossi. MKP attacks again, but Alicia holds here really nicely until colossi come out. MKP (finally) starts making vikings, but only 2 at a time. A zealot also delays MKP's 4th. Thing is, 2 vikings at a time when your opponent is also making colossi 2 at a time doesn't work. So, Alicia walks over and attacks right into MKP's planetary'd fourth and GG. | ||

What he's saying is, there's a difference between watching the Olympics to cheer for a specific country, and watching a StarCraft tournament to root for anyone EXCEPT people from one specific country. The so-called fans who stop watching tourneys after all the non-Koreans are eliminated are fucking stupid nationalists. If they bothered paying attention they would realize many of the Korean players actually have much more personality than foreigners and are just as entertaining to watch on top of showing better quality games. Seriously, the only time I ever actually got really emotional over a game was that final set of BoxeR vs MMA last year. I don't even play Terran for fuck's sake. This is coming from someone who never watched professional Brood War either and first got into eSports through foreigner tournaments during the SCII Beta. | ||
