Yes. It was UD > HU, NE, but Orc >>> UD, so UD always got/gets trashed in tourneys.


as i said, thats true for the later stages of wc3 (2008 till now)

till 2008, orc was considered a weak race. after that, orc became really good and finally the best race.

the main reason for it was the switch from farseer as mainhero to the mighty blademaster and the focus on him with items.

poor ted could never win again.

TeD and Happy were the best UDvOrc ...

With like all-time highs of 50% win-rate in the MU. :D

A lot of protosses I actually like for once. I really want Grubby and elfi to get out of this group, I like elfi a lot. But I'd also like to see slivko go through. We'll see what happens! I'd still guess Bomber, Grubby and Slivko.

hm I am glad that Grubby won but I feel that Moonglade had huge flaws in this particular game and in general.

He is by no means a scrub like somebody insinuated here, but last game for example he only had lik 55 drones on 4 bases and kept on the aggression with too many lings - if he maxed stephanoesque on mass roaches with some lings for cost efficiency he would have won for sure and the series had gone the other way.

Hope he works on that.

That's exactly what moonglade was doing. He just got really impatient and wanted to deny the third as quickly as possible. Props to grubby though. That defense was sexy.
SC:BW has a higher skill ceiling than SC2? SC 64 is where it's at brah.

I think it is time for Terran to admit that raven itself is good. Terran winrate when there are 5+ ravens is like 80%+ as far as I remember. 10+ ravens is 100% from all games I have seen. The only problem is that most of the time, Terran cannot get there and BL/infestor late game army kills Terran before Terran reaches that super late game stage. Most maps don't allow this because usually 4+ preferably 5 bases are needed to go that super late game composition for Terran. If Zerg doesn't split and lose whole army to HSM, then he deserve to lose. If Terran doesn't split and lose all ravens to fungal, then he deserve to lose as well. Map size/arrangement can make this super late game very viable. (Metropolis is probably the best map for this.)


And manner mules are a good unit. Because they have 99% win rate...

Race you play = weakest
Race that just beat you = best
The other race = inbetween

Oh well, mOOnGLaDe took a game off the best Protoss in the group in his weakest match-up.

I think GLaDe will crush elfi after seeing this. elfi's forcefields are quite infamous haha.

Lol, I love your confidence with SEA players... I highly doubt he will crush Elfi.


It's not with SEA players. I didn't think PiG had a chance in his group. SEA players are fucked in the FXOpen Invitational Series too (except tgun)

mOOnGLaDe's group is one I looked at, just like last IEM and said "Yep. GLaDe can advance from this."


How do you still see him advancing? Elfi's PvZ is better than Grubby's and Slivko is a ZvZ beast. Moonglade might beat Minigun and maybe Bomber, but that won't be enough to advance.

That and the whole creep route they learned. Also they finally realized that SH > TC. Orc was never bad, only badly played.

Uhhh, SH isn't better than TC. It's just different styles. Of the two best Orc v. UD, Grubby preferred SH and Lyn preferred TC. They both had similar success rates.

I mean, if no one was using Blademaster then it could be the weakest in the metagame without being the weakest in terms of potential.
