Yeah, I can see that. Lot of failed all ins, and what was basically a 20 minute no rush.

That being said there have been a lot of neat plays by both (or arguably huge mistakes).

1. Squirtle saving his nexus from those infested terrans on entombed.
2. Coca's bizarre 3rd setting him up for easy flanks against the 7 gate
3. That hatchery snipe into infestor snipe
4. The pylon placement in game one. Squirtle using his proxies to create easier forcefields in open space.

While maybe the games overall haven't been great, this has been a very entertaining series with lots of fun moments.

Of course it's all opinion though.

Carriers are fitting into the metagame. They're not a spectacle unit anymore. However, the no Coli, no Immo transition into Carriers is incredibly weak. If Coca was scouting, he could've maxed and killed him at 13, 14, 15, or even as late as 16 minutes with any combination of hydras, roaches, zerglings and infestors.

I do agree these games haven't been good.

Remember though that Squirtle was constantly scouting with the phoenix. He saw quick hive tech and so he also teched quickly.

Also, even with no immortals it's hard to kill a 3 base toss on entombed.

Is Coca only now starting 1/1? That's kind of late.

Ugg, Coca has done this before, he forgets to rebuild drones and get the drone count to where it has to be. His production is just so slow and his upgrades are terrible.

edit: oops, double post, my bad

Obviously they're named after what they say, the other way around makes no sense at all.

Squirtle tried a 7gates on ohanna, get his probe / pylon denied. Decide to back without losing unit, tech to blink and then go again for an all-in. Coca goes for a roach / ling runby, that Squirtle can't defend, and in the same time lose all his stalkers to 30 roaches in coca's base.

Not a good game.

Agreed lol. Naming a pikachu "squirtle" doesn't turn it into a squirtle or a water-type or make it only say "squirtle" rofl.
