How do people forget MC was behind right from the start of the game? He went for a Sentry-Blink All-in that didn't even pick off the ground. No Protoss wants to be in that position in the start, it's amazing he almost won it.


Not really, the only thing MC committed to that attack was making a warp prism (200 minerals), getting 6 gates (what you want anyways), and getting blink (amazing ability anyways). The one thing that actually put MC behind was being later on the forge and templar tech than he wanted to be at that stage.

ridiculously good micro by Taeja won him this game, really well played

Nope. Ridiculously bad micro by MC lost him this game.


Taeja continually threw away ghosts and vikings, I don't see why thats good micro.


Maybe that is why you are not in gsl round 8 and taeja is?


Leave the ignorant in their nirvana!
Vikings are meant to be thrown away in the effort to snipe the colossi and protect your army.


He threw them away by landing them, they then died to zealots because he was too careless to lift them.

Don't call me ignorant when you can't even be bothered paying attention to what happened in the game.


Meanwhile he was microing against possible storms, spreading to make sure the colossi didn't deal too much AOE damage and sniped or EMP'd all or nearly all of the templar before they stormed. Oh and macroing, then attacking the 4th with his cloaked ghosts. Try engaging 4 colossi with 1 viking and see how it goes champ, you have no clue what happened.


There were no Colossi, thats why the vikings were landed, also the gohsts were with his army, the vikings were attacking the fourth. He lost them all to MCs army AFTER the battle.

Were you even watching this game? Jesus christ.


IN THE ENGAGE AT THE FOURTH

How can you be so ignorant, you're just trolling I'm done.



Go and rewatch the vod, you have no idea what even happened. There was no fighting taking place when the vikings were killed, it was flat out careless. Just the same way that continually throwing away his ghosts was flat out careless.

Taeja played well, but people are making out that he was some kind of god.

See a lot of the time during those engagements MC had up to six HTs at his 3rd and 4th to defend counter attacks. So was really attacking into Taeja repeatedly with nowhere near full firepower.

Very well played by Teaja. So Terran lategame not that bad after all?


can you play like taeja? and do you expect the average player to?


Who cares about the average player? You can't balance around them


He's saying you shouldn't have to micro perfectly as terran to win whereas toss just constantly switches between collosi and archons and waits for the terran army composition to be not perfect so they can a move to victory


You don't have to micro perfectly, Taeja did not that game though it was good, and MCs switches and compositions are much better than the average player as well, Terran would not have to micro perfectly to beat an average toss


Beastyqt made a post that a while back that a move Terran vs a move Toss the Toss will win-- hence the lower league balance debate.

I'm on the fence. Obviously balancing around higher level play makes more sense on paper, but this game would not exist if it weren't for the "average players" and imbalances in lower levels may deter them. And no amount of practice will get most average players to the level of Taeja or MC either.
Everyone is either delusional, a nihlilst, or dead from suicide.

Why TaeJa's control was good:

Did you notice how he CONSTANTLY had to split all of his units? Storms are the death of Terrans. So they have to always split units. But when the army attacks, they group up again. TaeJa made sure they were always split.

MC did blunder up quite a bit but he backed it up with sick macro and timings.

TaeJa won because he did not lose his entire army in 1 single engagment like most TvPs

Now can we stop the whining and hating?

Both players did great. One did better. Period

EDIT: My bad. Should've said "loose his entire army"


I assume by loose you mean splitting?

No. It's a joke. Read the previous posts
