the casters overlooked that boogus didnt lose any army value during the baneling harass and had a steady army rise all game long. Up until this point, when he crushes action with attacks at all front
Putting it nicely, the casters are... not very good.
Bogus however, is good. Very, very good.

I feel exactly the same way. The commentators aren't calling these games well at all. Whiplash keeps talking about the "high level" of play in this game, but it was really just Innovation taking apart Action left and right. Cute stuff from action, but this game was never close.

Thank god for Theognis an pals. Can actually listen to the commentary without cringing.

Casters didn't notice Innovation pulled workers off Gas to mitigate losing so many to the banelings.
Also Innovation wasn't losing army, just workers.
Action's drone count wasn't greedy enough, nor was his army strong enough after that. He essentially traded away a lot of gas (plus overlord speed/transport), but it seems he made a really poor choice to go into swarmhosts.

i really liked how action played but bogus is just wayyy better than him
Or maybe mines and medivac boost done it in the end...

They should have switched names for that game...

I liked the Nydus Worm usage, but I feel like all the baneling drops into the terran economy hurt him more than they helped. Replenishing SCVs is really easy and it made his army spread really thing and he couldn't defend his expansions because of that.
|
Kinda glad I have action on my FPL, his not that bad.
|
Damn.
Zerg gave EVERYTHING he had (even droppin) against Terran and didn't even scratch him. I know Innovation is a godly player but this shows that Terran is just OP in some aspects. like 50 workers lost.... NP!
User was warned for this post

Action just could never rally enough units together to form an army he could really go on offense with. Innovation's macro just kept him on defense the entire time.
The baneling drops were cute but they just weren't enough to stall Innovation's economy to a point where Action could actually build a legitimate army, so he just kept defending until eventually he folded.

Even KeSPA have surrendered to the cuteness of Carbot?! :O

i mean action never got a supply lead even after killing 50 scvs
that was pretty foreboding of how the game was going
Pretty much, but damn that was cool. Fast 3 CC let Innovation catch back up really quickly with Mules/Triple production.

Damn, Action looks very upset. He shouldn't be. That was a very good game.
|
meh casters hype the loser again and again... Huk yesterday. today action.. If they just look at supply or upgrades it's not even close games. -.-
entertainin game. action showed some cool harass but i feel like this relies on the terran trying harder to defend than attack for it to work
|
think he made too many SHs in the end, they are OKish vs mines but ultimately useless vs mass bio, especially when used just to defend. would love to see him save up that gas for more ultras
|
Action played well, but honestly did a single person think bogus wasn't gonna win that game?
He's in crushing form.

Yeah they kept talking about how well Action was doing when Innovation was at like 190 supply and Action was at 138 supply.

It doesn't show that at all. It just shows that what Action was doing wasn't effective at actually denying Innovation's macro, he was just constantly delaying him but never really causing any real damage.
Just because something doesn't work it doesn't mean a race is overpowered it just means a strategy didn't work. Honestly Action would've been better off just using Mutalisks. The Swarm Hosts were more expensive, more supply heavy and just not effective enough especially considering they have no ability to actually counter attack while being spread out.

na, you're not alone.
The whole game was basically Innovation being caught with his pants down to the drops, cleaning up the mess, being 20supply ahead and then starting to abuse the fact that Action didn't play mutalisks.
