Reality was dead already because he couldn't afford upgrades then past 1-1 (or 1-0 can't remember). It would have been a completely different story if it had been 2-2 vs 2-2/3-2.

From my experience due to unit speed and various other things snipe seems to win battles especially when it is 6-8 vs 2-3 HT's trying to snipe them -_-

I've never seen a Toss straight up win a feedback vs. snipe war with solely temps. It's just too hard to completely eliminate energy from the ghost clump, especially with Snipe's superior range. Need some sexy warp prism + HT micro (which I hardly see but would absolutely love to see pulled off more in the future) or the Terran to just not watch his ghosts for a couple seconds to actually beat Ghosts with HTs.

The game sense and tactics deployed by both players were amazing in that game. I don't think people realize how technical that game actually was. That tank/bunker defense of the Blink. Reality's Raven in case of DTs and observers. Puzzle buying enough time at Reality's natural, delaying it so he can get up his own Nexus. The 3 HT ambush at the center.
The back and forth Snipe/Feedback war. Great stuff.
Awesome game.

If he "microed" his heart out he wouldn't have lost that many units to Storm have you ever tried microing against storms without stim?

Reality is really impressive
|
Reality didn't play better, but he played well. Blink was as scary for him as it is for protosses with no blink.

If he "microed" his heart out he wouldn't have lost that many units to Storm ?He microed better in every engagement, by a lot, his only mistake was going up a ramp without vision, happens all the time.

Yes because Reality was magically teleported into WR2 from preliminaries ? You kiddin i hope.

Just becaus i have an oppinion or something to say doesn't make it whining. This is a community, i thought sharing your thoughts was what you did? If it hurts you that much im sorry.. jeez

He should have just crushed Puzzle with his first push if he didn't blindly walk up into that storm. How did he play too passively? He had to defend against the blink stalkers, and once he had enough to defend and take his expo, he pushed.

How is Realities and Roro's fanbase in BW, are they popular players (Not regarding achievments, just if the fans like them)?
|
Even though Reality lost, I'm quite impressed with his play! I think I'm becoming a fan.
|
In BW each race had a unit or units that were not only just different, but made their game play unique. For Terrans it was the Tank, and I think in SC2 Tanks might have the same role (see how much more diverse are TvZ and TvT) however tanks are so useless vs protoss now and somehow the games are so ...the same TvP.
