Schon das Debüt der Kaspersky Arena hat mich von den Socken gerissen, doch das jetzige Line-up toppt das nochmals. Ich würde mich natürlich freuen, wenn TLO den Titel verteidigen kann. TLO Fighting!

Really excited to be a part of this. I hope to see lots of you there :-)

Unfortunately DIMAGA isn't able to participate. He will be replaced by slivko.
|
GoGo TLO! Thanks to Kaspersky for sponsoring, their 2013 AV package is head and shoulders above the rest so check it out if you need one.

Wow, it's on! Socke building 5 observers straight off the bat vs Heromarine
|
Heromarine's army composition looks so scary. Oo

HeroMarine top 3 foreign Terran?
This split, this macro, so gosu

He is not that far yet (not close imo), but I'm kinda worried for Germany/Europe when he gets to play fulltime
|
Shame he isn't old enough to play WCS/EPS. German scene is in dire need of new competition, especially on the Terran front.

Agreed. If only KrasS could play more tournaments and kauP would be a little bit better, that would give our scene quite some boost imo.

Gogo Marine, beat TLO for the sweep!

Hm maybe not there yet, but pretty close.
Name more then 3 foreign Terrans that are better than him.

I agree with you but i think that heromarine isnt far off. The splits of him are insanely good imo. He is just 15 years old and i hope he will improve his play even more.

We can't really say that until we see foreign Terrans play more HotS.
Luci and Happy have been very good in HotS, Kas should be good but I personally have seen maybe three series of him in HotS, so I can't judge. Thorzain was decent but he lost every series I've seen him play, he should be better than that. Dayshi has been quite good recently, and Heromarine isn't the only up and coming player who is making waves, you can put Bunny under the same category. Demuslim is in NA, but he's good.
We need to have more tournaments happen so we get a bigger sample size of games to draw conclusions from. So far the only thing I know is that I don't know much.

is it just me, or are some others having problems with twitch as well?
|
God, those hellbats... Can TLO actually play Ling/Bane against this style, or are some kind of roaches mandatory?
Any opinion from a good zerg?
|
woah, epic series, especially the last games between TLO and HeroMarine
Thanks for making this happen
|
Heromarine, man, Heromarine...
|
|
|
Heromarine is definitly that next terran hope. With Take's support and with a good clan like mouz he is could be the next big thing!

there is no unit that can trade cost efficiently with a 100 minerals 0 gas 2 supply unit that does that much damage in regular fights, 1 shots lings, owns banelings, does a great job tanking, owns mineral lines in seconds, and compliments every other terran army amazingly well.

Big love and thanks to Kaspersky for making this all happen! Hope to see many more KOTH's in the future

So true.
They even feel like the best ground attacking unit against broodlings.

Can't agree more :D
Though, great games and gratz to Heromarine.

This isn't trolling or criticism or anything, just a question from a non-zerg player. Aren't swarm hosts, with free, ranged units pretty good at trading something for nothing?

In the longrun they are good.
Against T and Z you barely see them.(ZvZ:you need the gas for mutas ZvT:Mass Tanks counters SH pretty hard)
In ZvP you can see them sometimes, but are kinda risky because they arent "figured out" yet and bad in straight up fight.
This all doesnt belong in this thread though <3

Well done by HeroMarine. Good to see the kick-ass-kid taking some names (sad he couldn't play wcs  )
|
|
|
HeroMarine, you are the one and only!
|
Wow, can anybody tell me how HeroMarine wom the last game vs TLO? TLO managed to kill close to three times the workers HeroMarine did, yet HeroMarine somehow seem to have outmacroed him in the end! Kind of reminded me of the game between Loner and some Korean zerg on Scrap Station in one of the first few seasons of GSL, where the zerg repeatedly killed Loner's eco yet he still managed to pump out more and more units to throw against the zerg...

Demuslim ? You're kidding, right ? He's way below Heromarine. Kas and Happy are at around the same level as him and Lucifron is the only current Eu Terran that really stands out from him.

Hope this happens again! Only got to catch some games through replay => looking forward to more
