Siege Tanks are still pretty good at pressuring an opponent even if they aren't dealing the main damage. The pressure of having that whole upper-right area of one's base be essentially off limits makes all the pokes and prods that much harder to hold. Their damage is nice, but basically (at the moment) siege tanks have superior range. Combine this with elevator bio and a small flying viking army and Supernova can almost always choose his engagement. Basically the moment Killer let this army walk across the map he needed Supernova to screw up the control or something.
Indeed, and that's why I hope that with some better Factory support units (i.e. not needing to use Marine/Marauder) we get some Mech play like that back in the game. I would be disappointed if we got the fairly thoughtless Warhound in its current form though.

Is it just me or is the free quality even worse? I could barely tell what was going on.

killer should have read that situation better, or earlier, instead of colo, he could have get 2-3 immortals out, and he could try to break the T army before the bio count gets too high. IMO

inspiring position of siege tanks, without immortals no way to get near those tanks and the tanks allow the vikings to close in on the colossus, what a clever planned out attacked with splitting up the toss with drops first. But i doubt the toss saw the army move out, so it was easy to get into the 3rd for supernova.
Killer did see it, SuperNova killed his second observer in the middle of the map while moving out.
Well, I guess it is possible that Killer was just not paying attention, but I kind of doubt that. Just a lot of incremental advantages adding up into a very SuperNova'esque win as far as I could see.

That's normal for GOM.
Due to heavy compression it gets worse the more there is happening on screen.

HQ is better but still not exactly...high quality.
The free stream was so bad that I actually just bought the ticket now. I was going to anyway, but my god it was so awful that I couldn't wait any more.

heh, apparently MVP is not the only one who can execute this kind of build successfully
very nice SuperNova has done this kind of stuff forever. Hell he was one of the first guys to really introduce/develop tank supported pushes off 2 base vP
i vaguely remember him doing this kind of build before, but that was really a long time ago
in recent times i've only seen Buyn use this style
and the stream quality IS worse, how about that.
for shame, GOM, for shame

Well, I voted 'Yes' too since it was a flawlessly executed push by Supernova.
I can't remember the LR ever being this concordant.

I've watched the gom free stream tons of times.. But it seems even worse than normal. Like maybe a lower bit rate or something. Because normally the quality is terrible but I can still tell whats going on in a battle. Now its a pixelated mess during action.

because there is no point to argue with that Supernova just played almost flawlessly.

And it was far from the best game we've seen. I mean it was a good game but I would only 100% recommend it to Terrans who want to learn a strong 2-base timing push (I'll totally steal that build and own ladder scrubs with it)

Yes, but the best games are usually back and forth and not this one-sided

7 minutes:
2 more gates for Vampire. Happy getting stim and Factory.
Happy again moves out with a group of ~12 marines, gets chased down by stalkers and loses a lot of them for nothing.
Meanwhile again Colossi and Double Forge for Vampire. Starport, double ebay and 3rd CC for Happy.
