Like enough "soul" to succeed in an all-in?
Parting gave an interview where he said Rain lost in MvP vs hyvaa because he doesnt put enough soul into his immortal sentry all ins while he, parting, puts so much soul into his all ins he has a 90% win rate with it

HerO committed so much into that harassment, he had no extra gateways, then he took a fast fourth meaning even less gateways. He was low on gas due to the VR/phoenix investment, and had also invested in a templar archives and +3 upgrades. What did you think was going to happen if his harass didn't kill enough drones? Sure he killed queens, and units, but the entire time Sen stayed with his high drone count and 4 hatcheries worth of larvae, plus was instantly rebuilding lost queens, OLs, and such WHILE holding off HerO's attacks, while HerO's macro'ing at home slipped.
Please don't make yourselves look silly just because some cute harass didn't result in a win.
uh...wasn't hero like floating 2.3k gas during his harass in the main? The harass was just terrible...sniped queens zerglings and a hatch for like zealots archons and templars..cmon people.

One of the reasons for this however is that it's allowed, yeah almost promoted by the TL mods. I have yet to see even a warning to even the most pathetic whining comments. Apparently as long as the mods share the same opinion whining about something is just fine.
I mean these days life report threads are filled with terrible comments like this:

Get the fuck out.
My thoughts. Honestly people need to give more credit to the players. I don't care how "broken" you feel the game is, give credit to the players who beat x player. Even back in 2010 when terran dominated GSL I still hated the balance whining, players should be given credit when they win not "oh he plays x race only reason he won".
Seriously ruins LR threads are those type of people who blame balance all the fucking time -_-.

Hero overcommited. Came very close to, but didn't establish a foothold in Sen's base.
maybe if he treated it like an all-in and didn't try to take a 4th, instead having a few more gateways he could have pushed it over the edge.
i agree here, hero needed way more production. 4 gates was just not enough after committing so much to stargate, upgrades, templar, warp prism, and 3+ bases

No stupid harass or anything. Build a big as fuck army and strike as hard as you can.
This is exactly why SC2 is poorly designed. PvZ is the following
2 base mass by the Toss and have one decisive battle and win 3 base mass by the Toss and have one decisive battle and win Mass turtle by Zerg and have one decisive battle and win
Precisely. I think im gonna give the rest of the games a go. Cant stand watching this dross. Games a year ago were so much more exciting.

tell me what that harass accomplished. It sniped a hatch for a complete army disadvantage when it was like 120 army supply vs 40, and hero got a spawning pool and a hatch out of it.
ovies, queens, zerglings, 4th hatch, spawning pool,, infestors. I think you watching the wrong game buddy.
In the abstract that seems like a lot but look at it this way: 4-8 zealots aimed at Sen's base that do no damage. 4-5 pheonixes and a void ray that kill 3 queens, 3 ovies, 1 infestor. maybe 20 zealots and at least 6-8 high templars in sen's main that kill: spawning pool, two upgrade facilities and 3 infestors. Sen lost maybe 5-6 drones and everything else was almost wholly minerals. When he showed up at Heros base this is what hero was doing: building a 4 nexuses, building 2 immortals. Against 200/200 that he *knew* was coming because his harass forced sen to overbuild. Hero just got greedy and too wonky.
Happy my favorite zerg and countryman won but every time HerO loses a part of me dies a little inside :'(. Way too conflicted over that series... Here's to hoping Sen can get to the finals :D WP both players!

It's just Hero fanboyism. I'm a Protoss player, and I'm well aware that if you play that gimicky and repeatedly warp your whole army in a Zerg's base while they macro harder than you, they're going to clean you up, counterattack, and rape you.
I have no idea why people are so surprised that Hero got steamrolled after his "chargelot archon warp-in army" failed lol. Were people really not looking at the supply counts the entire game?
