Always taking the opportunity for a snide against KT, it makes me happy.
Hopefully SKT wins 4-0 as the first 4 players are all on my fpl.
My thoughts: - Fantasy, Bisu and Rain take their games - Innovation, Dear and Trap in a close match take their games Goes to Ace match. Having said that, it's quite possible that both Fantasy and Trap lose their games and we go to ace regardless. In terms of ace match, SKT got the upper hand but STX will bring out innovation and well, it's hard to tell who wins XD Regardless, go STX go! :D

Thanks for the stream yesterday for SSL btw!
NP. My first cast longer then 4 hrs was intense.
I can understand that, but there were some good games, so it was worth it I hope for ya
I like both these casters, and they are both quite knowledgeable but they just don't have much chemistry. I'm sure if they stick with them they will get a lot better though!
Seems like winning that game was really necessary for STX to win the series. They can feel free to prove me wrong but the rest of the matchups don't look too good for them, especially Last going against Rain.
not sure what bisu was thinking by attacking the natural. Surely he was aware that classic still had 5 stalkers out in the map. He was just asking to get sandwiched.

No, bw terran and protoss were basically the same (production wise, which is largely where races differ in sc2), which are the same as sc2 terran

Bad Viking control. But Protoss armies rolling over equal supply of Terran isn't that uncommon. Protoss needs to be harassed to make it close and Last didn't do anything.

EMP didn't hit entire army, also Rain had superior upgrades. Good obs sniping from Last though

bad position for vikings, and no shift-click for vikings on those colossi. Plus too many zealots kept Last busy microing and lost all the vikings to stalkers quickly.

Yea i didn't understand the praise for that. He killed so few units with those ninja storms and lost about 4?+ templar in the process. I really don't think it was worth it, he could have used a few more templar in that engagement.
Bogus! Cool micro with small amounts of units to snipe the Templar, good moves to get into the better position. Getting into that third was the best position he could hope for.
the ninja high templar tactic doesn't seem that effective. The medivacs will just heal the units hit by storm by the time parting's main army engages them. Makes more sense to me to just save all the storms for the main engagement. Parting only got two storms out during that final engagement and they were also late.

He just needed to keep at least a couple more storms with the army imo. It's all well and good to soften up the T ball with storms around the map, but if it heals back up to full before you fight anyway and you have no storm dps then (particularly when the fight you take sees your colossus in a vulnerable position) you're just asking for trouble.

He didn't even hit the ball most of the time. Bogus was just sending 4 or 5 marauders to kill the HTs and that's all the storms hit.
Urgh Parting made some weird decisions in that game, particularly the slow third and not starting his 3/3. Would have liked to have seen a speed prism rather than just sacrificing templar, too. Nice play from Bogus but not that interesting a game imo.

Pretty accurate, in terms of being solid at least. Although for Life I'd argue that it's more than just the stability. It's pure beauty, the way he controls his ling-bling-muta.

Flash is better than Bogus IMO.
Heavily debatable, but I tend to go with Bogus due to Flash being slightly less reliable than Bogus is. So far in Starcraft 2, Flash can be either much better than Bogus or a bit worse, with frequent fluctuations in between. Bogus just stays at that same level of awesomeness, never wavering. I like players who never fail to deliver as opposed to those who show flashes of brilliance (pun not intended)

Actually you don't have to. You can do WoL PvZ to fight it. Just replace broodlords with swarm hosts. mass infestors with vipers and some infestors, and make mass mass spore crawlers. That's how you technically beat skytoss PvZ in late game.

Yeah, this is the answer, but from my understanding it doesn't work on all maps. On said maps you should probably do some aggression and cost effectively kill Stargate units off before critical mass is reached. To beat the CreatorPrime build, Life did an early Ling/Hydra attack to achieve this, followed by a Muta tech switch, and then right back to Hydras.
The main thing is even if there is a way to deal with these types of strategies, it makes for a very boring game. The point of Heart of the Swarm was to increase excitement and spectator experience as well as the skill ceiling, not decrease it.

there are Muta-builds that can apply heavy pressure. There are also some Neydus-Allins and a lot of timings with Ling-Roach-Hydra combinations and even some Swarmhost builds.
There is no build like the immortal all-in yet but maybe Zerg players will discover something. Sacsri played this one pretty bad though, looked like he had never played against this style.

you beat that as zerg by never letting protoss take a 4th base. life has realized this and most of his games are him constantly headsmashing the protosses 4th over and over again until he wins
it is kind of a bad idea for zerg to take bases 5 or higher in PvZ until his natural is almost mined out. if your playing it properly IMO. pretty much the economy wont really kick in anyway and the game should be won before your natural runs out of minerals thus you only need 3 bases worth of mineral income
4base zerg beats 3base protoss. that is what you need to remember. Do not take a 5th base, and just spend 100% of your time bashing your face into the protosses 4th base as hard as you can
if the protoss ever secures a 4th you lose. Think of it that way. 100% of what matters in the game is did the protoss take a 4th, and thats it. if you ever let a protoss take a 4th you deserve to lose. thats how life plays pretty much. Now sometimes life ends up not being able to stop the tosses 4th but by then he starved the toss for so long and then then its now 6base life vs 1 mining base for toss or something
Pretty much if you just constantly make smashing the tosses 4th your primary goal, then you can trade with hydras with air toss and be ok. tempests CANNOT dps down 200food of hydras fast enough to stop them from rampaging and destroying multiple bases. And you can just eliminate the tosses buildings. And if the protoss goes tempests on 3base his storm will be VERY LATE allowing you to do 200food of hydras smashing 140food of air toss at the 15 minute mark (if you scout hes going 3base air toss)

Catz has been theorycrafting a bit. I think he's suggested mass spores, vipers, and either queens or hydras.
Or, as others have said, timing attacks and early aggression. An early fleet beacon is a big investment, and it takes a long time to hit critical mass with tempests.

He did meh at IEM and MLG though. I mean he got top 8 at both but he did that by only beating foreigners he lost to the 3 Koreans he played.

He hasn't been himself after he got his teeth knocked in by Life in the Blizzard Cup Finals. Strangely, this phenomenon has also happened to MVP (after his GSL-loss) and DRG (after the reverse all-kill in the Iron Squid tournament).
It's not SKT1's fault, but it will be their burden.
Less SKT bias this time. I almost caused a riot in the vs KT thread lmao. STX just isn't a real threat to anybody with a decent team.... Oh wait KT lost 0-4 to them???? HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!!
Every time I see those ridiculous Tempests, all I can think is "those should be carriers." Interesting, micro-able carriers. Instead we have boring, attack-move Tempests, standing as a monument to Blizzard's failure at designing a decent Protoss race. Especially when you contrast it with the new TvZ. That has become such a great match-up from both sides. TvT is still good and at least ZvZ Muta wars are better than Roach/Infestor (the De-micro Duo). Then PvZ...it is probably less frustrating than what we had before, but it also far, far, far, far more boring. Ugh.
Can you imagine how much fun this new air-Toss would be with good Carrier micro added into it? It is just so stupid.

Well..
I blame myself completely. Not enough banner bias. It won't happen again Rostam.
