Most huge marine / tank pushes atm have very low medivac counts. Well, they offer some utility too as you can pick your units up if it's looking dire. | ||

But I guess it's not worth watching anymore...  Bomber vs  CreatorGame 1 -- Cloud Kingdom Both players macro up on 3 bases ( missed the beginning sorry) Bomber catches Creator's army out of position as he pushes the 3rd. He kills the 3rd unopposed. Bomber lands EMPs all over Creator's zealots and Creator engages poorly. Bomber gets a concave and rolls creator with 2-2 vs 1-2 upgrades Game 2 -- Ohana Bomber opens up fast 3 CC vs DT expand. DTs get into Bomber's main and natural. Bomber has no scan energy saved because he drops all his mules. DTs kill Bomber's whole army. Bomber ggs Game 3 -- Entombed Valley Creator opened up 4 gate off 2 nexus. Bomber got 3 bunkers up and was barely able to hold off Creator's push. Bomber gets 1-1 and medivacs and counter attacks. Bomber has 1 medivac dropping the main and 3rd of creator and another one switching between the main and natural. Creator doesnt have the right army composition to deal with the insane drop micro. Creator loses all his stalkers. 3rd force of Bomber pushes up the natural ramp. Creator ggs | ||

And the queen patch helped defending for zerg and creep spreading, and now we come to the conclusion why MMA style doesnt work anymore, and why he is slumping so bad. IT WAS THE PATCH that killed MMA. No balance whine intended. Just saying the styles are changing and MMA's style is outdated. | ||

But I guess it's not worth watching anymore... IPL didn't start broadcasting game 1 till halfway through i think, but creator lost to a bio push at his 3rd that he didn't engage particularly well and wasn't maxed due to losing pylons and getting supply blocked game 2 creator won with dts and no scans available game 3 creator went 1gate exp - 4gate pressure and did great damage. He then played way to greedy, tried to get a 3rd + coll + dbl upgrades. some great drop harassment from bomber tore him apart. | ||

Polt has to play Sniper or Sleep, and I don't think Sleep can win that. Sleep's best hope is that Sniper doesn't want to reveal any ZvZ builds before the GSL final against Hyun. Regardless, for Polt to win he would have to beat Leenock, there's no way to avoid him. So has Fionn given up on Polt? :o | ||

And usually the better player wins when it is marine/tank vs. muta/ling/bling.I dont think people mind the old school zergs like NesTea, DRG, Leenock, etc. Oh how I wish old TvZ was still how the matchup is played. It was so much more fun to watch. | ||

On December 02 2012 05:16 vthree wrote: Because Zerg has infestor/BL and one 4-5 bases by the time you have 200 supply To be fair, on certain maps such as Antiga it's not unheard of for Terran to go for a straight up 2/2 200/200 marine tank push at around 15:00. This actually punishes straight tech to infestor / bl quite well, but does very poorly against ling / bling / muta because of the insane amount of creep spread Zerg can get if you play more or less passively for 15 minutes. | ||

So has Fionn given up on Polt? :o Leenock/Life in the current state of the game are the only players I don't think Polt can beat except if he 2raxes his way to the title. Which is possible, I guess. Also if Polt doesn't make the finals and Bomber loses here, that means two more Zergs in the GSL Tour finals, making it pretty much a ton of zerg, a few protoss, and mvp. | ||
