Today's match ROOT Gaming vs. Axiom eSports will start at 14:00 GMT (+00:00). Both teams are neighbors in the current standings with Axiom having played one game less. It's an oppurtunity for both of the teams to climb up and leave a direct competitor behind.

Haven't seen Drewbie in a long time. Interesting.
|
I was a little worried there for a moment. GJ Alicia. ^^
|
TotalBiscuit stream is so damn smooth. 60fps, right?

TB casts really well on 0 sleep

Show me those swarm hosts, CatZ
|
Ahah TB is funny to listen : "you can add phenix to counter hydras"
|
K, CatZ says this style is ezpz for him to beat, especially on this map. Let me see it.
|
Catz looks to do the right thing : queens and swarmhosts

If the hydras are in relatively low numbers, that's actually very true... ~.~

Because I'm right, you can.
Anyone who thinks hydras actually counter phoenix is completely wrong.

Both captains are down. Time to send out the new guys.
|
rotterdam said catz said he doesn't lose to skytoss, but alicia is on another level.

Well maybe when facing players of equal skill level.

Interesting choices from ROOT so far. Would be fun to see one of there Koreans or even Kane.
|
Man 15 void rays that looked brutal for CatZ
|
CatZ: "I actually think ZvP favors Zerg" hehe.
Really though, seeing such a separation between Alica's level and the level of the ROOT foreign contingent.
|
Alicia likes void rays it seems

Well it depends on the numbers of each side (when few hydras phenixs does well), but when you want to counter hydras you think about psi storm and collosus. I'm pretty sure cost for cost hydras are better than phenix, and due to higher range the scaling is better for hydras.
And as the player will probably have a lot of hydras (agaisnt mass vr), phenix looks a bit silly.
Anyway Catz was too behind in economy after the third kill and the failed attack, so alicia had just to roll .

After the third kill and the fail attack, alicia could have done a collosus push and still roll Catz

Oh boy.
You can pick up hydras in very small numbers, but as soon as the zerg commits to larger numbers of hydras, phoenixes die faster than you can pick up any hydras.
So yes, Hydras counter phoenix.

Everyone leave TB alone, bro is in Platinum & clearly knows what he's talking about.

It all depends on numbers. If the Zerg has more than twice as many hydras as there are phoenixes, of course you're going to witness a massacre. But if the numbers are comparable, and the Protoss has pretty good micro, he will most likely win the fight. Sure, with fairly heavy losses, but he wins it. Phoenixes are both more durable, more mobile and have higher dps compared to hydras.

omg alicia. how in the world did sage not defend that
|
Nice little come back from Alica!
|
What an excellent game by Alicia!
|
wow, can't believe sage lost that!
|
wow Alicia !! how the hell did you win that. good game
|
Doesn't look like an overlap with WCS EU
|
So, um, why did Sage not kill the one pylon powering all the gates?
|
Sage must not have realized the only way Alicia was possibly going to win the game from that position where he was only alive because of nexus cannon was because he had a DT shrine building
|
Why didn't Sage bring his probes to Alica's base?
|
that game did not disappoint i was sure he was so dead
|
|
|
These games remind me how good alicia was before the slayers debacle.
|
Gotta love how people took me out of context in the first place. I said putting a few phoenixes into the mix is very helpful against Hydras and suddenly a couple of people are claiming I said "Phoenix hard counter mass hydra".

That's even worse if true -_- I imagine he didn't see it, but I know the #1 thing going through my head at that moment when I'm just waiting for nexus cannon to end to move in and end the game is to get detection just in case.

I think so, but he did build oracles to detect, but he needed them with his stalkers and could not afford to have one in his main

yeh but he could've built the oracles earlier. If the building was where i think it was, he could've even built a robo in time. Maybe he thought it was a pylon or something as it was in that kind of position.

Yeah, but here it was in the context of "I'm going for mass vr, maybe get some phenix to counter hydras"
Anyway I think phenix openings are the strongest openings a protoss can do, but seeing them as a "support unit to counter hydra" sounds wierd.

I did just catch all of the end there but wasn't this what he was doing? I though he had an oracle building while he waited for the nexus canon to end? Maybe he didn't move in fast enough.

I have to say I never saw a protoss "put some phoenix in the mix" in this kind of composition (if it wasn't the phenix he did in the beggining of the game), but if you witnessed it often I apologize

So lucky to get away with this near-dead Void Rays, hah.

Tempest are going to zone out the infestors.
|
monobattles still win against an army consisting of the giant number of two different unit types
|
12 infestors in production.
|
YugiOh plan for Mass SkyToss looks good and could be the way forward,its shame ZvP is still a disaster after 3 years and 1 expansion

So infestor still pretty good !
Nice game from YugiOh

Unlike MLG, Blizzard actually fear community backlash to a certain extent.

No, they will not. ATC has a license before WCS even existed, they cannot enforce that rule.
And if they do... well, prepare for a shitstorm.

Heart was no where close. Low tech, 3 bases vs 4 bases, and his drops didnt do nearly enough.
He relied on WM's which backfired on him when YugiOh got Broods.

It's incredibly obvious because the last thing Blizz needs right now is a shitstorm bigger than what happened in the last two weeks combined right on the first day of their new league.

you think blizzard will force ATC to stop broadcasting when wcs eu starts? no, obviously not how is it obvious? they said no one else can broadcast during WCS It's incredibly obvious because the last thing Blizz needs right now is a shitstorm bigger than what happened in the last two weeks combined right on the first day of their new league.
I get what you're saying but It's not like this is the only time ever where ATC will overlap with WCS, and they specifically said they didn't want anyone else airing tournaments during WCS. I guess we'll see if blizzard cares enough that its taking some of their viewers away.

Getting in a bit late here. Did I miss anything good?

yugioh randomly smashing people today
|
yugioh playing really solid.
edit: i think yugioh overstayed his welcome at ryungs third and he's getting punished for it now. with fungals and those extra 8-10 units he could have reset the medevac count.

I agree, either he has to keep making units and kill third or transition into infestation pit and take a 4th. Doing both is very greedy.
Interesting that even Ryung prefers widow mines to tanks vs roach/hydra, seems to be the way to go!

Ryung picking him apart slowly and steadily. :x
|
TB's frustration with the control of his own players compared to Yugioh is starting to show ^^
But I'm glad Ryung got to demonstrate that he's a beast!
Edit: Wait, this tournament format allows eliminated players to come back?
|
Really nice game by Ryung
|
Yugioh needed a transition there from roach/hydra, Ryung was able to just pick him apart with drops

Ryung is very much a beast when it comes to TvT and TvZ, sadly his results don't always reflect the quality of his in-game play. :/
And yes, players are allowed to be revived, although these resurrections if you will are not unlimited.

It's pretty funny tbh, but even as a normal viewer, Ryung's sudden lack of controll was kind of wierd, its not something you see top players like innovation/Flash/Gumiho do

the ace can be anyone on the team even if they have already played. you also have 2 revives on each player per season for regular matches I believe

Ah ok. This better explains situations like HyuN playing 3 times against Karont3. Thanks.

Ok, thanks guys for explaining player revival and ace matches.

why does WCS Europe need to start now, I want to watch both

From liquipedia:
"Ace can be any player, even those who have played and lost before; this is independent of "revive" rule
Twice a season, a player may be "revived" and play again despite losing an earlier game; can revive only once per match."
So players can lose twice and play a third time if you use the revive then they play the ace match. I think Hyun did that for quantic in one of the matches.

Yugioh also played 3 games in a row against TaeJa because apparently no one else on ROOT wanted to haha

wow I thought Ryung was dead

Yeay, very similar games for Ryung, well played.
Edit: Shows TB's quality if he casts that well on 3h of sleep.

Same here... man he's playing so well. :x
GGs. Nice performance.

Terran continues to be Achilles Heel for ROOT. Great games today and well played Axiom. Glad to see some of my favorite ex-SlayerS players tearing it up, especially Alicia coming back.

If it takes more than one player to perform, it's no longer an all-kill lol...

I cast like shit today honestly, tripping over myself all the time, misread a few things. It was a stark contrast to my Karont3 vs Mousesports cast where I felt I was really on the ball.
