Symbol figured out MVP's plan and executed this perfectly without giving anything away.

That's cause a lot of the abusive things terrans used early in WoL got nerfed, or the queen buff made it weaker. Players are also way more skilled at holding things.

It's a shame you can't do the same to zerg
You must be kidding, zerg allins are terrible :/
Roach bane always does a lot of damage unless terran has 5+ bunkers or rushed siege tanks. Doing either of those puts you really far behind if zerg turns around and shits out 15 drones at once.
I hope Symbol can take this. Although the match I'm really excited about is MKP v. Life tomorrow. Today's match may be between two titans, but tomorrow's match will hopefully be crazy!
That timing is a good way to keep Terrans honest. There are builds that can stomp it and builds that can deal with it and builds that just get blown the fuck up.
This was the latter.
Symbol can't really tell if MVP is being greedy or not but at least with a 3rd hatchery in place he doesn't have to do too much to make the attack worth it. ~10 scv kills is probably enough that he can drone his 3rd and get some creep going and hopefully not lose much to anything stupid.
i know there are international games out there, but there are also plenty of korean games that are on international too
Since Korean play is at a higher level than foreigner play, I'd trust the Korean stats more. It's true that Koreans play lots of international games, but why not go with the pure stuff?
