Maru could have won that had he retreated with his ravens beforehand. Would be such a killjoy. Sorry, but I play that style of mech every game on ladder and I've been barking on how it can work. He made the mistake of not killing both top bases when he had the chance and he pushed unsieged down the bottom without taking the bottom base. Huuuuuge mistakes.
and are you GM KR #1? :p

He's been feeding vipers his sandwiches, those things do wonders, I hear. :p

Once Maru got his 5th, he was almost in unlosable position. But he managed to it somehow.
You can say, because his opponent made him do that ^^
Tbh i dont get this whole perfectionist way of analyzing SC2.
You can always say Person A wins because he played LESS shitty than other guy. But you can say he played awesome to turn that around.
Glass half-full half-empty, almost always i see half-empty these days.

10tons on earth... who knows what the gravity is like on the akilon flats. It could weigh no more than a paper clip there.

I feel like he just got too overeager at the end of his push thinking he was going to break through and ended up losing his army

isn't Blizzard said that they will make mech better in hots? Yeahh nothing really happened there :p MMM is too cost effective to pass up. TvT is where mech is only really somewhat viable.
Yeah, and actually DK said it was ok because bio was more fun to watch.

Way better than mass tanks thor deathball mech crap of WoL. Mech in WoL was just another deathball that was hard to get to.
What?? I just can't understand how people can say things like that when talking about Tanks. Leave that to Colossi, Thors and similar horrible units.

Explosions. Bitches love explosions.

i've heard this flash guy is not bad

Soulkey owning it up as expected. (kinda got me worried there for a second!)
I would be dissapointed if he didn't manage to go through.

Never got why people had such a hardon over it. That last game may prove atypical, but there was a lot of on the fly strategy in evidence there. That I love to see, rather than pre-prepared builds and games so often being decided more on execution. You could tell Soulkey kind of had to think his way out of trouble.
a need for being good at on the fly strategy disappeared over time in WoL though

I was really hoping that HotS would revive factory styles, but the Viper just seems too good against big, expensive units vs. Z. Well, Maru did win game 1 with Mech. And this game was also pretty close, Soulkey just played extremely well.
That he did, I'm just temporarily throwing "good play" over the side because I'd rather see more mech. :p Granted I didn't think Maru would be the one to end up giving it a go.

And Maru played worse, he could have won. Clumped up his stuff too much, didnt deal with swarm hosts, no good seeker missiles.

He won game 1 with Hellbats drops.*

With a zerg being so hydra heavy and barely any roaches around for most of the game, wouldn't some BFH made more sense instead of purely Hellbats? You could roam the map and hunt things down or pounce on a group of unsuspecting hydras.
