lol what do you even define as "special" ? Roro had ridiculous multitasking and executed a multi prong harass with perfection. Scouted the twilight council and spotted the high stalker count which led him to go mass roach.

Some unnecessary hating going on here..

"Ridiculous multitasking"? He can build roaches and split them in two groups. OMG only Elephants can do this!

Yes, he played way better than Ace. But it wasn't impressive. I'm not saying he can't play impressive but he couldn't show it in this game.

Splitting roaches, microing BOTH sides WELL, cost efficiently engaging armies, slipping past Aces defense, burrowing roaches at mineral line constantly as harassment, taking a fourth and massing spines, teching up to Hive and infestors with upgrades all at the same time. but I guess all that shit is easy as fuck

He didn't do all of that at the same time. He did play well but you are overstating.
We saw a lot of this and better stuff before so this is actually nothing special.

And Roro mostly looked so good because Ace didn't put up much of a fight. Ace didn't split his army well, didn't use force fields well, had units doing nothing during the fight. Ace playing bad made Roro looking good here because he could just crush in with his Roach force.

ace looked bad because roro played well

roro proved in wcs that he's already extremely good at zvp

I'm out of here since the Kespa troll fan club is around again but I have to point you to Ace's recent PvZ's. He looked bad because he is bad. He has only ever had one or two flashes of brilliance followed by many losses.

Is TL ever going to get back up to the maturity where the only things debated here were balance and Idra? Even that was better than this garbage -_-

Tsubbi isn't a kespa troll, he's just a zerg fan (like I'm a terran fan ^^)

Wolf with the awesome accidental pun, Khaldor catches it =D

Yay for overlord hunting, god I still remember the first time it really started getting popular (jjakji power), that was such a cool little time period where T would always be trying to work out what scout path Z would take next.

===========

Hack is playing so ridiculously greedy o_O

Fair enough

Others are enough on their own.

That Jikaji series made me pretty sad. Why'd you have to remind me of it

It was damn smart and well planned though...

Looks like just a drop spotter.

ok and now Hack is going into mech o_O

This is like that build that Bomber did, but even greedier and with a later mech transition.

Hack does this way too often. Hidden expo in every series almost. But he wins most of them.

Are you truly this blind to what you want to see or do you enjoy troll baiting? Judging a match when the opponents are not closely matched is pretty silly. A masters player would look pretty darn good when crushing a plat or diamond player in 10 minutes too.

yes because its so correct to assume that it was Ace that is a TERRIBLE player (despite having ST_Life and ST_Curious to practice against.. Both of which are CRUSHING and in Code S Ro16.. oh yea, not to mention Squirtle)

It would be so ridiculous to assume that Roro just played really well.... why would we do that?

I mean.. Roro only 2-0'd Seed recently in the WCS, the last GSL CHAMPION. I mean, why would we ever assume ROro is good.

This is going to be brutal for zerg, can't see how he can win this game.
