Mana fell apart right there. Ran all his high templar into Socke's army without any storms or support.

It's a lot nicer, yes.


That time warp on the ramp that let Socke kill the stalker was one of the sickest things ever. I thought that was soooooo smart.


It was a sentry, right? Tbh it gets done with forcefields a lot too. But I think the difference now is that you can pressure and do damage but not win or lose in such radical fashions as before what with the HMS and all.


Yeah, you're right, I just pay no attention to what I'm saying, apparently. I just really like the ability for Protoss to move out without having to go all in; makes for a much more interesting game to me and I can't wait to see Protoss players use it more in ZvP so it's not such a turtle fest.

I know Mana is 3-0 and I have massive respect for that but I have been really disappointed with how he has played.

His series vs snute was a total mess from both sides.

Socke is proving that he is just a much better player than Mana

I think Snute just had bad timing in terms of becoming visible and then had a bad tournament today, but I'm not so sure about Vortix. He's never really impressed me all that much.

So because of the strange way IEM tie breakers work, it would be better for Socke to win this 2-1 rather than 2-0, right?

If Socke wins 2-0 vs mana then mana can miss out on qualifying.

or If mana wins then Sting can qualify over Socke.

don't say a game is irrelevant without backing it up

Early terran pressure is very strong and much more varied however there is no way to say it is imbalanced at this point, the game is too new and not enough games have been played.

The way vortix defended was just incorrect, the heavy queen playstyle should filter out in favour of roach defence.


It's too soon to talk about balance, but nevertheless being force to go blindly into one particular tech path (roach, without being able to pressure with it) because of all the new threat does not make the game particulary interesting to be honest, if ling opening are no longer an option (or a very risky one) you limit the option which makes more boring game. That's why ZvP seems to be more fun right now, ling hydra/roach hydra/Mutalisk/swarmhost are all possible, and for protoss all tech route are viable so there is way more diversity.


But dear god, as a Zerg I'm so scared to see MechVP tomorrow. :D


Are you really expecting terrans to play mech in TvP ?


Wait till MKP show you MECHKINGPRIME.


Haha the guy can't even mech in TvZ :[

Well as MVP is the best Mech player in WoL and was already very successful with it against the best Zerg in the world, if he did practise HoTS it will be really scary tomorrow in TvZ . As for TvP meh I'll don't know, I really don't think it has been fully understood since there was almost 0 mech play in WoL TvP, Terran player are starting from scratch there. But if someone will show that mech is a viable/strong/(imba?) option in TvP, it will be MVP.


It has to be Mvp, but it won't be tommorow, and I would say not on this patch.

VortiX beat Snute 2-0.

Juan Moreno ‏@Karont3_VortiX

won 2-0 snute so i'm 5th in my group. Thanks for those supporting me and I'm sorry for playing so bad. Bad preparation (HotS) (1/2)

+ playing bad + very good opponents = embarrassing play, but I'll try to preppair next one better (I have some months)! (2/2)
