Loser's bracket

To elaborate slightly, it's because Liquid was the loser's bracket winner in a Double Elimination tournament, and IM hasn't lost a match yet, whereas, Liquid had, therefore, Liquid needed to win 1 Bo9 to reset it for the Grand Finals. Stupid format, imho.



Ummm... yes, that's a pretty dumb format.


Why is that dumb? Liquid has already lost a series, IM hadn't

the obs was pretty bad, Seed's dt harass and warp prism HTs forced taeja to commit, which lead to a lost.

Man thats a decision taeja normally doesn't make. must be really tired

But whatever, can't be mad at the guy he's a fucking monster and has done incredibly well.

Let's go hero, finish this off!

what was he to do?

seed kept expanding whilst denying taeja's via warp ins. taeja knew he couldn't keep re maxing so had to make something happen. the decision was okay but he thought he killed seeds obs (he scanned) so he left ghosts behind. lets them die. from then on, he tried to do damage then pick up and leave but mis controlled. the decision was fine, the execution was what messed it up for him


his army was huge, he could of devoted 5 marauders to base defence till he could actually secure pf with turrets

Yeah, the damage they were doing was inversely proportional to how much the spectating picked up on them doing it.

Him and Hasuobs basically play the same way, Seed just executes it better, constant zealot + DT harassment everywhere to deny bases, even if its not cost efficient, it gets the job done.

Thinking about it, I'm pretty sure Taeja just gambled/thought Seed didn't have detection. That's the only way I can rationalise the losing of the Ghosts, and if Seed didn't have detection he'd have won for sure.

Amazing play by seed, very disappointing by the shitty observer, he missed SOOO much dt harass and storm drops. This is why taeja forced the engage by running into seeds main, his eco was fucked, down to 1 mining base for a loooooooong time. Still great play by taeja overall but WP SEED. IM TO WIN GOGO!


Yeah fersure thanks for mentioning this nobody seemed to notice that and rightfully so because the obs didn't view it when it was happening. The obs showed the aftermath of the harass a few times but that was about it.


Horrible, horrible obsing today. IPL really needs to improve that.

IM coach: I knew if Teaja played enough games he would get tired. My plans have worked.

more like eventually protoss will kill him at end game.


Taeja was ahead the entire late game. If he had forced a direct engagement he would have roflstomped Seed.

Taeja threw it away by getting all his units trapped in Seed's base, not because "Protoss OP late game".


How is being on 1 mining base vs 2/3 being ahead? In what fucking universe ...

Sigh, they should have just played Taeja right after Taeja`Zenio lost. Then they have another player to face Seed later before Taeja`Hero ... TLO perhaps?? -.-
