Quite easy if you get rid of the banshees, the thors clump so you really only need to catch the front 2-3 ones to completely smash the army. | ||

Remember his games vs Leenock at MLG? He has a lot of experience with TvZ mech and this new&improved one is actually viable even when BL's are out, at least it seems that way so far. Before it was more like push before hive. | ||

If you do enough damage with the hellions and banshee's at the start of the game you slow their economy down enough that they can't do a roach drop in a timely manner. If you don't do any damage at the start of the game a roach drop could still be really good. | ||

Shame, but hope Leenock learned from that game and realized his mistakes. gogo~ | ||

If he had spent those resources differently the rest of the game might have gone his way. Yeah, the game should have ended when STC pushed the fourth. His army was so great against what Leenock had. Unfortunately he trapped all his hellions with his thors and he siege just to late to prevent the banelings to kill all the hellions. I really love that build, the thor timing is so perfect.

They're setting up the tournament this way so the finals won't be anti-climatic, only the semi-finals potentially could. | ||

So a GSL style of tourney has to be online, of which there are several (NASL, TSL etc). Some country or region should start first. Even if it's only with "national" players. If it never starts somewhere, it will never happen. | ||
