I admire hero's persistence but he has no way to break curious with 2 archons and a few blink stalkers.

this kind of reminds me of the finals at blizzcon last year where some people thought Nestea threw the final game

we later learned that NesTea makes horrible horrible decisions in the lategame and that's where he almost always loses

How dense are you people. You wanna throw a series? Two games up to maxed armies with elaborate army positioning and backstabs is not the way to do it. 10 pool vs 16 hatch 16 gas 17 pool is how you do it.


Your argument makes no sense, that would be very obvious and fuel the paranoias of conspiracy theorists.


Yeah, and it would lead to him potentially getting caught if he made it obvious. It's not difficult to simply play worse later in the game...

DISCLAIMER: I am once again not saying that I think Stephano threw it, but people are using such flawed logic to make it seem like it somehow isn't a possibility.


I think there's a possibility that you're retarded. I'm not saying you are, but it's still possible.


What a needless personal attack. I'm just being sensible and logical. I'm sorry if it is crushing your dream world where everyone plays for honor and not for money.


I'm just using your own flawed way of arguing.


No... if you were doing that, you would make a statement that would point out the logical flaw in my statement, rather than insulting me in a "witty" way.


Ok, I'll spell it out for you since you don't get it.

Anything is possible. It is possible that every game this event has been staged and no one has actually tried their best. It is also possible there's no money in this tournament and the players are aware of it, hence not trying their best.

Arguing something just because it's possible is absolutely retarded unless you have something actually pointing towards it other than it being... possible.


"Arguing something just because it's possible is absolutely retarded unless you have something actually pointing towards it other than it being... possible."

K.

Stephano has tried to throw games in the past. It is very reasonable that he believes beating HerO and then BabyK is easier than Rain. There is $100k on the line, and Stephano plays SC2 for the money. If he simply plays a normal game, but plays worse, he can't get caught.

Well, I guess we agree then. It is a reasonable possibility because there is "something actually pointing towards it other than it being... possible."

(Z)Curious vs (P)herO[jOin]


Game 2

On Entombed Valley, Hero spawned in the top right and Curious spawned in the bottom right.

Hero opened up with nexus first into forge, gateway, and then cannon. Because of the very late cannon, curious managed to get 6 lings into Curious' base, taking out two probes and stopping a lot of mining. Hero then put on some pressure with 3 zealots and a stalker, which forced some lings and killed a queen, while dropping a stargate at home.

Hero cranked out a bunch of phoenix for effective harass while attempting to take his third at home. However, a round of roaches and lings from Curious was enough to bust down two gates at Hero's third and cancel the third nexus.

Hero produced a few void rays to assist in defence and help out with his phoenix harass, while making immortals and retaking his third. Shortly after, Curious took his fourth and managed to nap the two void rays and all but one phoenix with infestors and queens!

At 14:00 Curious started spining up with a 40 supply lead already. He dropped his spire and hive too, preparing for the inevitable brood lord switch. Meanwhile, Hero began cranking out 2 collosus at a time. Hero pushed out at 17:00 with a big pre-hive timing while Curious did a massive ling and roach counter attack. Curious' counter attack appeared to do a ton of damage but he had nothing at home to take out Hero's powerful army.

Hero then set up a ton of cannons at his third in response to the base trade, while curious set up a ton of spines at his fourth. An engagement at Curious' fourth resulted in Hero losing all of his collosi to Curious' corrupters and all that remained of Hero's army was stalkers. Curious' infestor ling army managed to nab a ton of stalkers that were retreating, bringing the supply to 90 (Curious) to 70 (Hero).

Several skirmishes then took place at Curious' fifth, where he tried to secure his second mining base, and as Hero tried to deny it with stalker collosus. Hero continued to do well, shutting down mining and taking out some remaining tech structures.However, infestor ling with corrupter support was simply too efficient for anything that Hero could produce off 1 mining base.

Hero GG'd, tying it up!

(Z)Curious 1-1 (P)herO[jOin]

Curious decides he's had enough, attacks hero's 2 archon, blink stalker army. Too many roaches, fungals everywhere and hero taps out.

CJ_Hero 1-1 Curious

I need to remember to quote my own LR this shit is probably hard to follow amongst all the conspiracy theories rofl.
