Im almost under the impression they aren't fully trying to win and more trying to give exposure and experience. | ||

But yeah, he's the new DRG. since when was Monster ever about to win? lol. Noblesse did screw up though, but Dark at the same time denied drops, had amazing engagements, and just had ridiculous staying power throughout the game so you can't take that victory away from him at all. It was a long game, so one player's mistakes don't decide the game only | ||

No MMA or Sniper either. It kinda seems that way huh ^_^ I don't have a problem with that I guess but it would have been nice to see the top players fight each other, was hoping for DRG vs MMA. | ||

It was a joke, but you're actually pretty wrong on that. Although both are in Code B, Monster had a ridiculous run at some recent MLG where he destroyed plenty of Code S players and was finally stopped by Alicia I believe. So he's notorious for being one of the Code B monsters. Noblesse used to be a Code S mainstay, and his play was still Code A level at least. Not comparing Dark to DRG, just pointing out the beginnings of an unknown clutch team league player | ||

It was a long game, so one player's mistakes don't decide the game only Monster won the game when he sniped the third and retained his mutalisks. He should've teched to infestors and made roach/infestor instead of being dumb and trying to end the game with pure roach. Paranoid almost lost to Sheth by doing the same thing, it's vomit-worthy. Noblesse kills the natural hatchery and pulls back, takes his third and gets siege tech, pushes five minutes later and wins the game. What nonexistent tech will Dark summon to stop said push? Of course Dark played well; he won those games while at a disadvantage. But he made few decisions besides defending needless aggression. Being clutch involves more than hoping your opponent will throw away his units. | ||

Since when is sniping a 3rd base ever game-ending? Sure he sniped the third and gained an advantage, but he sacrificed a ton of larvae and money on making those lings in the first place. Those larvae and minerals replaced drones that were consequently not mining from monster's 3rd. The supplies were still even after the 3rd snipe, the only difference really was the extra production for monster since he hadn't saturated his own 3rd. He had already been going muta when he was sniping the third. To suddenly switch into infestor just because he killed the 3rd would've been a retarded decision because his infestors would have been much later and the gas he spent on spire and banking for mutas would have gone to waste. He's a Code S level player, I would check the math before calling his play "vomit-worthy". What? You realize how fast zerg recovers with the inject larvae mechanic when they're not attacked? The only thing stopping Dark from droning up back to 70 in a heartbeat was Noblesse's non-stop aggression. Sure he didn't control his army that well, but he didn't actually lose anything. He just picked up all his units as he rallied them across the map and simply forced Dark to keep making lings/blings instead of drones. What more use would his units have just sitting at home protecting a 3rd base that wasn't under pressure from Dark anyways? | ||
