Why are people making a big deal out of being overly greedy? It's completely common. It's like terran going 14cc/not walling with 2 depot-rax and dieing to early pool(I remember a daybreak game awhile back in GSl it was 10pool vs 14cc). It only works because it's not expected at all, because its extremely non-standard.

No. If you don't know what your opponent is doing, you get a zealot. Not doing so is greedy and MC got punished for it.

I agree. Its pretty standard for protoss players to skip zealot because if you scout gasless 3 hatch this is like the only thing that you could lose to until the 7-8 minute mark. The beauty is even if he makes a zealot you usually put it out on the map for map control vs the zerg's 2-6 lings and the zerglings can just run out of the zealots vision/watchtower vision.

well this build is out there for a couple of weeks already, so that everyone should be aware of it. Stangely it still works. We will probably see it every now and then from zergs in the future against people that don't scout properly.

but he DID know what he was doing, he scouted 3 base no gas.... Leenock went for something extremely unconventional.

Because you don't need it. Leenock's build only worked because it was so unexpected.


Dont argue that you can skip the first zealot. Losing a Bo3 because of 100 minerals and delaying a probe by 5-8 seconds can never be justified.


You can skip it 100% safely against a no-gas opening. MC could have easily defended if he had just scouted a bit more. As a pro player, you always want to make that kind of trade. Whether you make the Zealot in a PvZ is not a question of greed/safety.

Fine. I admit I posted that out of frustration. At least there's a loser's bracket and at least Seed is still in the tournament.

Man, Seed is winning me over though.

It's okay, MC! You can come back!

How do you know which matches it is? :o was looking at http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/2012_StarCraft_II_World_Championship_Series/Asia/Nationals/South_Korea and just assumed the top 4 groups would play first.

Looking at the game with a clear head now, I think MC should have been more active as well with his scouting. He had nothing on the Xelnaga towers (which is also a result of not having any units to put in there).

Well-played by the octopus though. Give him credit where it is due.

Unconventional but possible. I still think it's greedy to ever skip a zealot vs 3 hatch, dunno. I personally like to be prepared against anything that's possible. People have been canceling hatches on me a few times.

Pretty sure MC could've seen more than 6 lings if he just moved out with a probe. That's enough to prompt a full wall-off, or at least it should be.

Third level mind game. Leenock can do that but he knows MC knows too well he won't do that so he does that and MC is not prepared.
