He fucked everything up in the late game.

He had barely any Infestors at all which are the most important unit against mass air.

He had like 40-50 more supply worth of workers and a lot less army supply.

He still had a lot of Broodlords against air only.

He didn't use Nydus+Ultras at all, even when MVP had only Vikings.

HE DIDN'T MICRO AT ALL in the final engagement
.

i dont think anyone can micro the slowest unit in the game vs like a 2.8 speed projectile..best i can see is just to have the BL naturally split before it happened.


Next patch: give broodlords stim.



seen idra and a few other zergs micro hydras off creep vs banelings

tis possible, just not with all units, like ht micro is kinda lol


Ye I was just joking. I know it's a stereotype but so many zergs just can't micro, the first "bonjwa" if we get one may just be a good macro zerg with really great micro. Stephano has decent micro I suppose, so does DRG, but no one really sticks out for things like unit retention. If you watch almost any PvZ the zerg throws away dozens of units for nothing---bad rally points, bad positioning, indecision, etc.

Zergs throw away zerglings, and roachs which are like nothing to them. I doubt zergs try to do just lose BL/infestors on purpose. Also infestors are kind of slow also so they get picked off when zergs try to retreat with them.


That's a silly mentality though. Those 15 roaches lost for literally nothing could've been another almost fully saturated base, which is a big thing at the highest level. Or infestor tech. It may seem like nothing but it could still give a good advantage.

I doubt there is any time where zerg try to lose just 15 roachs, but instead a FF just sections some off so they get destroyed or they try to snipe a expo etc.They try to at least do something with them. Also there is no way that zergs dont even try to protect their tech, but maybe like 4 dts or a bunch of zealots just snipe off the greater spire or spawning pool or infestation pit really fast.


You'd be surprised. I remember Stephano just wandering roaches in the middle of the map versus MC, literally doing nothing with them, and he just kept picking them off with phoenix. He wasn't trying to snipe some probes or anything, just was throwing away units. A lot of (at least seemingly) random posturing from zerg often leads to things just getting sniped off with blink and things like that.

sounds like he was trying to keep map control. Also what should a zerg do when just roachs are running away from blink stalkers, and the stalkers just keep picking off the roachs with blink? All you can do is just retreat or have infestors out already to stop it. Stephano could have tried to end the game with the reinforcement roachs with his like 14 min roach max or something..i forgot the time the max is.


he starts attacking at like 11.5 mins before he is maxed, he is normally maxed before the 13 minute mark.

Edit: at least i believe so. MC does a sentry/immortal quick third build, and thats when i thought stephano started to hit his third. It all depends on how much aggression stephano faces early game though

..okay you don't know what you're talking about.
If you actually bothered to watch TvT, you would see the aggression.


I've seen plenty of TvT's these couple of weeks yes it's aggressive but i find ZvZ more agressive than TvT. It's my opinion right? And the TSL4 games with all these zergs qualifying showed us insane aggrressive play.


considering you say TvT is passive you should consider either: getting glasses/getting a brain.

lol u serious ?? :D



yes i am, the TSL4 games ZvZ was impressive and the casters was absolutely blown away..


Don't all ZvZ games go like this:
-pool hatch
-roaches
-infestors
-roach infestor ball vs roach infestor ball
-other guy gg:s

??


If you watch the TSL4 games with VortiX playing you wouldn't say that. The nydus play impressed me a lot. Everyone loved the ZvZ games.. Don't get me wrong i LOVE aggressive play and harassment/drops all over while attacking the front/expos.

Since you think TvT is still turtle with 2k banked, I'd advise you to watch some more games.

Everytime someone says ZvZ has become so great the next couple of series ends in roach vs roach...


ZvZ will always go back to roach vs roach while the overseer exists

They showed every single game except for MC vs. Slivko until now. So they will show this match too.


They didn't show Yonghwa vs Bling and I don't think they showed Snute vs Nerchio either?

They showed everything from A since they didn't need to play Idra vs Happy.

Hopefully we get to see everything I guess, but if they don't want to play too late (it's 9pm already) I'd hope to see a couple of mirrors and not just TvZ =)

(not TvZ...there's a phrase I never thought I'd hear myself uttering even in the first part of this year)

I guess:
1) Sase will be invited to code S next season due to well played at latest MLG and other tournaments.
2) He has a good chance to do reasonably well, similar to Naniwa.

Clearly code s material however.


Eh, it's debatable. I think he can definitely go toe-to-toe with many code S players. I'd love to see SaSe qualify for code A though and come through that route. I think he has the ability to do that (especially if he is code S material) and it would be cool to see a foreigner battle his way through code A and try to make code S without a seed.


i think sase is better then naniwa would love to see him in code s


When you say Sase is better than Naniwa a lot of questions are raised. Do you mean like much better?

Do you realize Naniwa is like top 20 in korea (ITW)?

I've never said it's an automatic "passive matchup" i just say that TvT is a turtle fest where you get a good defend of your base and build up a good comp. I know many terran players do like to drop heavily against other terrans but i find ZvZ more aggressive than TvT atm. I never said TvT was not aggressive enough to be entertaining to watch.

I disagree, and quite honestly it seems more like you're trolling than genuine, that or you don't watch many TvTs. I've seen a lot of ZvZs and I've casted a fuck ton specifically for TSL4 and I think the difference is startling.

I dunno, I watched it, so unless I'm telepathic I'm pretty sure they showed it.
