Eh. It's kind of fun to have maps like Crossfire or Icarus in a map pool.

not the point Taeja got BO countered and made one mistake. Those two games don't make Roro superior. | ||

Why 3CC on a map that never goes to 3 bases unless you hold the all in and just take one to coast to a win? | ||

Icarus has seen almost every zerg do something dopey 2 or 2.5 base timing with speedroaches. So taeja does a bio heavy opening (a greedy one too) that skips hellions, which are normally amazing in this situation. Considering he's a game up he can afford to play a risky build like that. His build on Akilon was eh. Wee roaches! I mean roach openings are fine and all but taeja was 1 bunker away from shitting on it. Blearhgh. Hurts to see as a taeja fan. | ||

They need a way to get back to it without saying that they fucked up. So they think, maybe all ppl leave SC" and go back to BW when 1 race just wins everything. Okay, i dont even believe it myself^^ | ||

You really only do have greedy openings or you are behind vs queendralisks if you attempt an "attack." No Terran in today's game is going to sit on 2 base vs Zerg, it's suicide. You were only correct and accurate in one thing you said: "Can't blame him for flipping coins if one side is heavier than the other." One side of the coin has been heavier indeed for the past year+ (if you catch my meaning). You spoke very true words :D | ||

Roach all-in (which isn't even all-in you can just power drones behind it, Zero risk, all reward), and then a ling bane all-in ends the next game in 5 min... Here's hoping to Taeja comes back next 3 games. Everyone should be glad that Zergcraft2 is coming to an end with HOTS soon. Well if the all ins doesnt work, zerg is far behind in upgrades... And being behind in upgrades in TvZ, it's very bad for the zerg. And terran playing safe still outmacro if the terran plays nicely. Teaja juste didnt build any bunker 1st game, that's just bad greed, high risk low rewind. Same goes for 3CC. | ||

idk most of the tl staff likes it. The problem with WoL was toss design just gimping map variation. The Mothership core might do the trick... or more interesting map design with gas. | ||

I'm aware flipping coins is viable and I often do it on ladder when I play. I'm not denying that it isn't. Just saying that they 'were' coin flips, nothing else. | ||

Taeja is like this. when he actually won tournaments he did a lot of 2 rax and fast CC builds completely at random, this is a more scared taeja, not the dominant guy we saw last summer. | ||
