As usual, don't player bash, don't flame, and don't balance whine. Failure to heed this warning will have consequences. |

All koreans are againts Nerchio wow. They shouldnt let his coach/teammate talk between games. That is why I love to see full time korean pros get killed by a foreigner who does this as a hobby. Im sure the top EU pros practice just as hard as the koreans.
I really doubt that. Even IF they do most don´t have a team house etc and access to top pros 24/7. It´s like Sweden being dominant in CS. We had a lot of top teams who could play each other while Brazilians etc didn´t have a pro scene really.
In all these tournaments the koreans from different teams help out each other and thats why I love to see foreigners who doesn´t even have it as a full time "job" and with worse practice conditions bear the top korean pros.

8 drones and some lings for 4 hellions is apperently a "huge loss" for terran
|
I was just about to say that Nerchio is playing really well. Queue 27 drone kills.

I anthropomorphize killing workers like kicking your opponent in the balls.

What a hold! Hatch-first against proxy-2-rax and holds! Hatch first can always hold scouted proxy 2 rax... You must play Terran and have never as Zerg tried to hold a proxy-2-rax allin when going hatch first. It is far from 100% holdable. Err it happens all the time Is hatch first actually better than pool first for holding 2rax? Because you have the creep for spine and the production?
Yes, additional larva and creep make it much better, otherwise with pool first you just get bunker contained.

Mvp vs. Nerchio Game 2:
Cloud Kingdom, Mvp at bottom left, Nerchio at top right
3:00- Mvp opens with his barracks at his ramp. Nerchio goes hatchery first and drone scouts. Then pool goes down. 5:00- Mvp throws down a CC at his natural. Double gas for Mvp, gets factory. 7:00- Double gas for Nerchio, 4 queens out. Third hatchery going down. Banshee being made for Mvp, late cloak. Third CC being made at third expansion. 9:00- Lair and roach warren going down for Nerchio. Decent hellion harrass, cleaned up by queens and lings. Double armory for Mvp. Mech time. Infestation pit going down.
11:00- 2 cloaked banshees in the main raping the drone line (no spore crawler/ detection). Nerchio counterharrasses with some lings to the third. Mvp at 100 food, Nerchio at 90. 2 extra CCs going down for Mvp. Thors coming.

I actually enjoyed a "cheese" game. It keeps players on their toes and shows us how well thy can react to non-standard situations. Just entertaining overall and I imagine these next games will be lower risk and more traditional and i have no problems with that either!
Same here - but if you have played zerg during seasons 1-2 of ladder you still scream in triumph when a bunker rush fails 
Also I love that storyline of MVP-the-crippled-cheeser. Much more interesting than MVP-the-omnipotent-macro-god.

MVP floating a lot of minerals, drops two CCs. Is that a legit macro mechanic in TvZ ?
|
To be honest, VortiX played this out better.
|
MVGREEEEEEEEEEED
Let's see how this works out. I think it can work pretty damn well.
|
come on mvp!

hmm MVP probably watches Dragon's stream too much - mass CC style!
|
Yes, very important to think about your 6th base while meching.

When meching it's quite nice.
