Stopped reading after this.

You should probably stop posting aswell, since it is a viable strategy on that map against FFE toss.

Top 10 for earnings is now MVP, MC, Nestea, MMA, DRG, MKP, Polt, Puma, Stephano and FruitDealer in that order with 11 and under all below $100,000.

DRG's 1st place pushed him above MarineKing and puts him $7,000 behind MMA.

Did you watch the game? Drg was behind after the 6 pool. Alicia's go kill timing was earlier but drg defended with the spins and infestors. Drg jumped ahead when he double expanded to bases 4 and 5.


Yea he was so behind he went onto 5 bases.

Don't bother dude. It's a waste of time arguing after a championship about balance (even though I completely agree with you). Whether you get "it's the map" or "player X is just really good" no Zerg player will ever acknowledge that being able to cheese against standard play and come out even is stupid.


Yeah you're right it is pretty stupid that Protoss can go FE and be fine even against a 6 pool.

They're most likely Korean-American. Koreans generally disapprove of tattos.

So according to sc2 earnings, after this win DRG should surpass MMA in prize money and make a clearer gap between himself and MKP.

The 3 kings are still unassailable at the top for now.

EDIT: NVm that got edited in fast. DRG still at #5 and only just ahead of MKP.

QFT.

That game was as standard as possible for a failed 6 pool. However DRG took a bunch of greedy expansions that Alicia was too late in scouting. Attacking the spines with his collosus push instead of the 4th really hurt him.

Also, don't forget that the Protoss player went pylon > forge > pylon > cannon > cannon > pylon > gateway. That's not exactly quick tech or standard play.



Wouldn't say it failed exactly. Most P's on ladder even know how to defend this, as most Z's know that all they'll get is the pylon and forge. And that's usually the intent, to reset the game back to one base v two. You'll only really kill a P if the open nexus first.


Note Alicia was overconfident and should have bypassed all of the spines and attacked DRG's fourth. Granted DRG could have saved the drones, but in no way could he save the hatch. Had he killed the hatch and evened the bases to 3 base each, he would have been in a much better position.

Instead he tried for a full fledged attack, which proved to be futile.

If you don't like it, you can quit.

Still a great performance by Alicia. Prolly tripled his career earnings over the weekend, might provide him with the experience and confidence to do good in Code S again.

You probably shouldn't have, since that post is 100% correct.


Yeah, make your wall before natural you win, if not you lose. Such a standard play. I'm done talking to these people.

Don't forget that DRG killed a bunch of alicia's sentries with the little speedling timing, which took away a LOT Of pushing power, which let DRG safely get many more drones, lair, and take a 3rd base which he otherwise wouldn't be able to hold.

Oh Awesome I didn't realize the last GSL brought MVP over MC. So Handsome. Nice to see Stephano raking in some benjamins as well.

Flash would get owned. He's not ready yet. Give him several more months and he will be the greatest player we will have seen.

What are you talking about. You don't go FE against a 6 pool. Unless you consider building a pylon at the natural and then panic starting a forge near it while being stuck on one base for 6 minutes Fast Expanding.

I'm not sure the relationship between King and President.

That would be a another Boxer vs Yellow showmatch. Except with DRG totally destroying Flash instead of playing around like Boxer did with Yellow
