Let's all ignore Stephano's fantastic early game build combined with Bomber's huge mid-game mistakes and cry about fungal instead. Guffah.


This.

The story of game five, the amazing story, was Stephano poking in with four roaches and tricking Bomber into thinking that a roach push was incoming. He made THREE BUNKERS! Then Stephano went for hive and greater spire, but he had to hold off Bomber in the middle of the map to get them up.

Then there was the stim that Stephano forced out on, what, like 30 marines? All down to half health, with no medivacs?

Then when the broodlords came out, Bomber made Vikings, but that forced him to cut down on his medivac production!

And Stephano had made more infestors AND speed banes, and Bomber made nothing but marines and clumped them all up... he had a huge bank versus Bomber's negligible bank, Bomber was busy making vikings but Stephano had corrupters AND was prepared for a tech switch into Ultras, which he could have done with ease with his huge bank...

... and it was THE FINAL GAME after a back-and-forth, amazingly close series... 3-2 for Bomber and then 2-1 for Stephano...

But NO... the game sucks because fungal sucks and infestors suck.

Right.

THAT'S the reaction you have.

Come on, just enjoy the games!


4 roaches is a bigger econ hit than 3 bunkers early game, especially with the bomber build, especially when you can sell them

I think Day9 was really overselling just how important that was

Good night to all the whiners and the others. I think we should be glad because this final was really nail bitting. Anyone could have won it and at least I enjoyed it a lot.

LOL @ all the fungal whine. Bomber's army was what, 100 marines and just 6 tanks? He was asking for it. Tier 3 army beats a tier 2 army = OP QQ NERF

Well played Stephano.


I'd buy that argument, if Terran had Tier 3 that was any use against....well anything.


Go watch some of Gumiho's games or any games where the Terran makes anything out of his Starports other than Vikings and Meds. Bomber lost because he went pure marine tank versus a hive composition instead of throwing in Ravens, BCs, Thors, etc.


haha good luck getting that kind of composition on ohana

there's a reason it's gone from GSL.


I don't know which tournament you're watching, but the GSL has always featured Terran champions who knew how to deal wtih the Zerg T3 army. For MMA, it was avoiding direct engagements and exploiting the immobility of brood/infestor with his drops and mini-tactics that eventually wore down the Zerg. For Mvp, it was a heavy mech transition even out of biomech (thors and ravens and whatnot).


I don't know what comment you're reading, but what I said has nothing to do with what you answered.

You're not going to have the same kind of game on Ohana as you will on Metropolis, Atlantis Spaceship or Whirlwind.

WTF how do build that army on Ohana lol, that game lasted what 20 minutes? Bomber couldn't even take a 4th base


I'll tell you how. You don't go for the maxed-out marine-tank push on 3 bases. You don't fall behind on tech and econ due to a fake roach bust. You don't make the mistakes Bomber made while Stephano rushed up to hive tech.

So funny people complaining about fungal :D
I'm just so happy to see all those T's crying, those same people who just queue marines up all day long and think they should be able to just get away with it... What a shameless bunch.

Let's be fair and realize that any tech unit is a hard counter to marines (and most first tier units for that matter).

+1 I hate to read LR and see page after page of tears about balance. Stephano doesnt even go for mass infestors this game.

You dumbasses complaining about fungal when bomber makes 100 marines?

Storm would have the exact same effect in that battle.



Except.......it wouldn't have.

This! at least you can dodge Storm/micro out of it....

Meh IMO Bomber out played Stephano that series. I'm gonna try to limit my whining because I do hate when LR threads fill up with it... but god damn its just frustrating to watch sometimes...


Microing out of storms when you have 100 marines doesn't do anything, besides make you spam stim that your medivacs can never keep up with. Having 70% of your army has a T1 core unit that late in the game is just bad, only arguably marauders can make that work and usually not without great difficulty.


That is an invalid argument, seeing as Terran really has no other option vs broodlords other than vikings and they are equally bad vs fungals. Bomber even tried ravens and they just didn't really do anything.


Ravens (not massing them, just a few spread out to support, similar to high templar) still has never been attempted at a level of micro I would say proficient. HSM has a 6 range fire distance and can be fired before anything such as a corruptor shoots it down unless it gets fungalged, which is a fair deal to trade for not getting the rest of your army with that fungal.

Every time a pro Kr terran tries ravens, they mass upwards of 15 and get them all fungaled, and lose. It's like keeping all templars togeather and complaining about 2 EMP being overpowered.

wat? everyone could use them because of some like shift queing snipe or some shit so wtf you talking about. Also to watch T3 units like ultras and BLs just get instantly raped even though you had like 10+ of them was fucking stupid too.

Is it just me or did Bomber totally neglect to split/spread his marines in the final engagement? Maybe fatigue was starting to get to him?

Great show Lone Star Clash, the technical hick-ups were unfortunate but the spirit of the tournament is fantastic.

Really tense final. The players obviously suffering in the end, but they sure produced a show.
