Yeah, if you support them with colossi or Templar against infested Terrans, I think there is nothing a Void Ray can't do, that a Carrier does....

Just shows how many fanboys stephano has really. If Stephano wasn't in the loser bracket I would have voted for him, but he was in the losers having to beat Oz with an Extended series, but also needing to beat Alicia coming from the losers. Chances of that happening was very slim.

Taeja got my vote.


If Stephano have'nt said that he doesn't care about arena as long as he get a good seed for MLG I would have voted for him :D


Didn't he say " don't expect anything from me at NASL " too? And he won that, so I wouldn't say just because he says he " only cares about getting the pool play seed " he won't try his best to win 10k.

How are there so few posts in this thread? O_o

Insane game. So well played by Oz.


It's because of posts like this that I stopped coming to live report threads. Oz did not play amazingly well. Stephano misread his build and Oz executed a build that any low masters player can execute. Because Stephano cut essentially 10 drones or so to produce those lings that couldn't attack, the game was over at that point. Everything else was superfluous.

Too bad most low Masters players play less predictably than Stephano does. Maybe he should actually practice rather than relying on 1 build to win him everything.


Right, because Stephano was using the roach all in in every ZvP for the past week. ...........derp did you even watch the games?

If Stephano had 5 more corruptors he would've died. They are sooo weak for the investment you make

5 more corrupters? Oz had like 12-13 carriers left. We only saw one clump on screen.


What? No way.. He lost surely some 10~ when the fight was over. There is no way he had 23 of them in the start

He had 7 left. So 5 corruptors still would have done nothing.

He is right actually, they were falling so fast, that investment could have proved fatal in a closer game I think.


Start of fight: 27 Corrupters with infested Terran support vs 13 Carriers
End of fight: 4 Corrupters vs 7 Carriers

.....

Yeah, 3-3-3 upgrades carriers ARE cost efficiently. The upgrades are a must though.

Er

I tried maxed 3-3-3 carriers vs 3-3 corruptors in unit tester, all carriers die, 30% of corruptors die.

But an army maxed out on carriers is something you can actually use, and army solely consisting of corrupters is useless. Not sure what your point is.


This. When has anyone maxed on corrupters?

The question was 'cost effectiveness', so you compare costs.


Oz won with Carriers. Seems cost effective to me.

You understand that corrupters transform into brood lords, yes?


???

Corrupters are not broodlords though. I don't get it.


Here's what you do when the Protoss MAXES OUT on carriers and you just lost your army.

Max out on corrupters.

Kill the carrier army, losing about 30-40% of your corrupters.

Transform half of them into brood lords, and kill the Protoss before he is able to remax on carriers.

The above requires you to be ahead of the Protoss in economy, which Zerg has to be.


~70workers vs ~70workers. It's not possible to be ahead in economy in the lategame. You can mine a bit more gas. Basically 2geysers.
Also you know, the point of carriers is, that you go carrier AFTER you forced mass Broodlords with a massive Deathball army. So once he is on Broodlords and a Protoss trades ground army for ground army (or does a counter like Oz did), Zerg would have to kill his own Broodlords to make room for more corruptors, at which point the Protoss could easily warp in 20stalkers at once.

--> Carriers in the lategame are a clever move, the transition is questionable, due to the amount of time it takes, but the Carrier itself is great.

Stephano need to update his ZvP style. He run over the P opposition the last 6 months. Now the style have been dissected. I hope he can revamp his build and start kicking korean P butts again.

Btw, the carrier debate is retarded. In a even top level game you just don't have time to get the carrier uber expensive ball. Oz got it because he was REALLY ahead.

This threads reads now as if Stephano did disappoint. He made top6 and took out 3 koreans on the way. Even if he was the best player in the world (which he probably isn't), he wouldn't win tournaments every week. Top6 in such a stacked lineup after winning last week is superb. And some people still talk stuff like "One build, doesn't train, that's what you get for that"-nonsense. Get a grip. Oz played fantastically all 5 games against Stephano and won convincingly. It happens.

They never removed it, in the last arenas they had a different format that didn't use extended series. Alas, they changed the format to this weird dual, loser's bracket thingie.

I don't think he's suggesting 5 corruptors arrive at the end of the fight. 5 being there at the start are going to be pretty effective since they kill more carriers quicker and etc

Still not enough, but coulda helped.

I've watched every single Stephano game from NASL and MLG Arena. He's doing Roach/Ling every single game, as far as I can recall. Not a single Muta or Ultralisk or anything in sight.
