Ladies and gentlemen, it is page 143 and any patchzerg, balance related commentary and the usual bashing etc from this point on will be met with harsh moderation. |

To be honest, I thought Hero played close to optimal for a protoss who did not resort to immortal-sentry. Kill the morphing in greater spire, pushing, constant prism harrass, two good vortex... Not sure how he lost. Any insights?

Hero needs to learn the carrier transition. His harassment is almost as good as Rain's, but seriously archon/stalker vs 18 Broodlords? Come on. Carriers suck. Fungals and corrupters rape any carrier army.

That game bummed me out.
ViOlet's an amazing player - I used to absolutely love watching his play - the constant aggression, the runbys, the way he could turn games around with backstabs.
Watching that game didn't do justice to his ability or to HerO's. It was boring and frustrating to watch (since winning generally requires one player fucking up rather than someone doing something impressive).
This game used to be so much fun to watch as a spectator, it makes me sad to see it constantly reduced to this.

Kinda sad Violet will get hardly any credit for that. For what? Hero not getting any archon's into the vortex? Violet played that properly, but he didn't end up winning because of his decision making, Hero didn't execute it 100% perfectly

Thats exactly what the problem is.
You have to play very close to perfection to win, even if you are considered to be far ahead in the game, or a superior player. The same problem is also reflected in the Immortal all in, in a different way, and nobody considers either situation to be good for the game, for enjoyment of playing, watching, or for esports

So now that he should feel at home he can win right?

HerO walking his colossi into the vortex was the losing move -- pushed the archons out of the center when the archon expired. Just keep them alive in the back and when the vortex expires the AoE should murder everything. Archons were stuck on the right side and the colossi went down immediately -- gg

I think you're all seriously exaggerating the amount by which Hero was ahead.
|
Violet played beautifully that game. 90%of PROFESSIONAL Zergs would've lost after Hero killed his Greater Spire. His engagement at his fourth was a work of art!

There's only one good spot to engage on daybreak and that's at the watchtower

I think Grubby has the best combination of skill and voice sexiness out of any caster xD

I know no balance whining in a RL, but what do we call these past 10 pages? Facts?

Got to be honest. Kinda hoped for this scenario. I really want my first day poll to be true.

He needs to transition to carrier/templar, plain and simple. He had the time, but he stayed on stalker/archon. Hero may have largely outplayed Violet, but his endgame strategy was lacking.

Is DB and DKim at IPL?

Can't believe it's come to this, but I am going to actually put IPL5 on in the background, check in every few hours, and do something else today...

I hate Sniper so much right now.

Official bracket shows Huk advances 0-0 over Ryung, not sure what happened there.

Snute vs. Life on stream 2
I think Snute can win but he will need to play the best games of his life ...
