Only one mirror matchup??? This is an outrage!

I didn't know it was possible to have a Proleague match without at least 3 PvP + ZvZ

CJ 4-0, best part is that it could actually happen.

CJCJCJCJCJCJCJCJCJJCCJCJCJCJCJCJCJCCJCJCJJCJCJ :D
if it isn't 4-0 it will defo be 4-1 (HYDRA I BELIEVEEE)
|
Come on CJ!
The cards say CJ 4-2 STX scrubs.
|
I didn't think STX will turn into a team this solid. It's like all of their rookies matured all at once into a very frightening lineup.
Rooting for INnoVation as always ever since BW.
|
Bogus win, herO win, Dear win, Songduri loss, and Dear ace win please. Ok I'll be realistic, Bogus ace win is fine. Oh or herO ace win but not against Bogus or Dear. I'm so needy.
|
I'm actually looking forward to Last versus Hydra the most because I think Bogus is going to murder my alien boy. I think EffOrt's going to get smoked.
|
What a great match to start out. Let's go STX!
|
4 base vs 5 base all day plz
|
|
|
Innovation looked like he was thinking about something else
|
Not as new as you may think. He's dyed it before.
|
I want CJ to win this but the matchups seem better for STX to me. T_T
|
cant wait to see innovation run all over effort.
|
Sweet, haven't missed anything yet :D
|
EffOrt looks pretty sleepy.
|
Let's go STX!!! Gonna be a great starting match. Innovation >>> effort

What happened to all the CJ fans? So rare to see STX fans outnumber them here. They must be running to the hills with the STX rampage this round.
|
A lot of zergs seem to be playing so much better vs mines, so many more close TvZ's it seems.
|
Innovation's macro is absurdly good lol
|
What was that pack of lings on top of a mine?
|
God damn innovation is sexy
|
ahh it seems bogus finished powering up to his final form, effort is starting to lose ground

Prediction INnoVation > EffOrt Classic < herO Dear > Bbyong hyvaa > Bong Last < Hydra Trap > SonGDuri
STX SouL 4 - 2 CJ Entus

effort simply has no chance to be aggressive...

lol half the fights there are no lings just ultras+infestors, looks pretty funny

That's some quality play right there

surprisingly sloppy game by bogus. Glad he won though

what the fuck
How did he win? I figured it was efforts game when had like 12 ultras 2k/2k in the bank and a bunch of infestors too.

I feel Effort had a massive army advantage in the midgame but got over-distracted with the drops of Bogus. If he had forced a straight on engagement, this game would probably have gone to Effort.
|
Wow I was sure Effort had this..!

TLADT24920 Posts
awesome game by Innovation! His multitasking seemed a bit lacking though. I mean that greater spire living with 44 and then running medivacs into spores etc... but ya, his macro/micro especially in the last while allowed him to pull through imo

Oh man, got real scared the effort might win... Innovation's macro is pretty good

It's so insanely hard to anti drop with Zerg... I thought he handled the drops phenomenally. He took almost zero economic damage and got the better end of every trade. Widow mines were a huge factor in him being able to not do a full on counter attack and win the game though.

Oh my god, what a comeback from Innovation. His play is just amazing, and his tenacity is just...incredible.

Don't happy that Europe is not awake for this good game

I was really impressed with Effort's micro, not so much innovation's micro.
Effort was in a very good position, I feel like if he expanded to the fifth earlier and took a sixth with more static defense for the drops so he could gather his army, he would've easily taken that game.
Innovation played good, but has to step it up a notch when he plays Life next week

Somehow Innovation remembers me of MMA on his prime days. It looks like he is behind, but he start to play so agressive with lots of multitask and drop play and suddenly the Zergs dies.
|
EffOrt looks like he has it. And suddenly Bogus streams countless of bio killing the 5th & ends the game -_-
If any, zerg still needs to polish their mines awareness. They fall apart 100% at endgame when the number of mines gets absurd

Yeah that was definitely not sloppy play. You don't normally see drops "unmicroed" like innovations because usually most players don't have 4 dropships out at once with another army simultaneously pushing out on the map. It's not hard to micro 1 army and 1 drop at the same time.

I'm sorry, but I don't think Flash is that great at SC2 yet and Bogus definitely could have played that better. There's nothing spontaneous about what he did. He's known to use constant drops all over the map.

Effort could have finished with muta-ling-bling in the midgame. As soon as he switched to Infestor-Ultra he started losing.

Honestly, EffOrt could have played a bit better. After he got ultalisks he used his entire army to chase one medivac around the map instead of destroying at least one of Bogus's expansions.

If Flash's level of play right now is considered "not that good yet" then I shudder at the thought of what his highest level of SC2 play will be if and when he gets there.

1. It's incredibly risky to try to end it with that composition because as the game goes on it gets significantly less and less effective. It's almost allin to try to finish it. 2. Widow mines are so insanely effective against muta-ling-bling it's one of the best ways to throw a game going in for the kill, because when you bust a nat you have to go in at once, which makes you more susceptible as Terran has much better positioning. 3. He did try to end it, he went into the nat and got shit on.

I completely agree, but it's also really hard as if you noticed Effort los ta lot of lings constantly to widow mines. Widow mines are far better than tanks ever were in terms of cost efficiency and ease of use.

Zerg will never be able to keep minerals/gas as low because they have their macro in bursts due to injects. The larvae come all at once and you spend all at once, as opposed to constantly as Terran. We also don't know how much queuing was involved by Innovoation.

As in one mistake can cost you the game. There were tons of botches in that game because of multitasking (which is what you meant and the other guy sort of said). Bogus and EffOrt alike found themselves in stupid situations throughout the entire game. With that said, Bogus is more than capable of handling two dropship groups at separate ends of the map and his main army at the same time. We've seen it before. It wasn't flawless but it got the job done. EffOrt's noose came very loose because Bogus kept him busy. Like any good Terran boi would do.

Downplaying? How am I downplaying when I say I've seen him do a better job with managing his army on three fronts? ._. Don't get me wrong. Happy EffOrt made it interesting and it was a good game, but I expect more from Bogus especially.

Because it's wholly dependent on how your opponent is playing as well? If Innovation drops and there's no spore there he doesn't lose the drop. If effort isn't there already he can just stim and leave it. But if Effort responds to every drop within the first 5 seconds of it dropping, then it becomes exponentially harder to manage them. It's entirely dependent on opponent's ability to handle the drops. It's not like he's consistently cycling through all three drops every other second.

Different kind of aggression. Bogus does multiple drops which are deadly because of his incredible multitasking while Flash sends streams of bio + mines which seem endless because of his incredible macro.

All Zergs should be expecting the dropships and have their bases more secure. What have we seen? More sunkens/spores to act as buffers. Zerg players are more prepared than they were when MMA was doing his thing. Then it's just a case of running your lings to and from the locations as you see the red dots on the mini-map.

Watch flash vs b4 -_- Whenever I think back to Innovation vs Leenock at MLG, I can't help but feel like we haven't seen anyone including Flash play to that level, not to say that Flash is far back or anything. I would say they are almost equal with Innovation taking a slight lead. Unfortunately, I missed Flash's code S games so I'm not sure just how much better he has gotten since a while back.

Awesome game. This map was obviously air superior with the placements of the 3rds and that deny just gave hero a huge lead. I was scared he was going to lose after overcommitting those voids but he had a bank.

is it worth it to focus fire with voidrays or is it a move all the way?
against stalkers that is

i don't play protoss, and have almost zero understanding of pvp, but isn't storm good against mass void rays? (i've seen some protoss use it against mass void ray in pvp in previous proleague matches)

It's not like he's consistently cycling through all three drops every other second. All Zergs should be expecting the dropships and have their bases more secure. What have we seen? More sunkens/spores to act as buffers. Zerg players are more prepared than they were when MMA was doing his thing. Then it's just a case of running your lings to and from the locations as you see the red dots on the mini-map.
Expecting them does not mean you can stop them. Insinuating that is absolutely silly.

against stalkers that is Very bad to focus because they can pull you out of position with blink

It is but it's really hard to tech to because of hte insane gas cost and time needed to build up the storms. They also slow down your army significantly. Not to mention the voids can move out of it and then recharge shields. But yes, it is pretty good, it's just hard to get.

The tension is what generates mistakes
tension/pressure can create mistakes as well and I do like to call unforced errors when I see them based on army position and the multitask, but if we're talking about the last game. We're talking about a stupid amount of mistakes and at high level starcraft normally a few of those is enough to decide the game. So yes both of them played sloppy. ._. No other way for me to describe it. Some forced and a lot of unforced errors.

If you want to be a good Z v T you sort of have to. Heck, even Greg started to put down several sunkens and spores at his bases to help against the issue. It's sort of necessity. You have to be able to have some control over your base. What do you think a lot of the good zergs do (even if foreigner)? They're right on top of it most of the time. It's just one of those things you have to get good at if you want to find any success in that match-up for instance.

Wow, what a bad time to pause...

noooooo a pause in CJ domination D:

might have lost those sentries because of keybaord error or w/e. Luckily with the replay function they can rewind to the point where his keybaord fucked up/.

On the bright side we're no longer seeing D/Qs because of not following their old etiquette.
|
Hmm, built-in countdown doesn't work on these maps or something?

interesting going a lot of mines against protoss, against all these zealots it should be good but they need to get good hits off
not really impressed with the widow mines, need drilling claws a lot earlier

Can't see the mines being that great against toss. You need too many of them to trade against zeals, and it eats into the HP of your army, so you have even fewer and more flimsy bio.

Wow 3 of my fantasy players have played and 3 have won, not too bad of a start.

Looks like we'll be seeing PvP's on this map from now on...
Sad

well if you look at cost effectiveness, if a mine gets off one shot, it has paid for itself, since all of tosses combat units cost as much or more than a mine. Getting a single zealot with a mine before it dies is about an even trade, and getting a stalker is great since it costs about twice as much as a mine.
However, having 2 more micro'd marines instead might be better in a lot of cases. Still, mines definitely have a place vs protoss, just maybe not in the main army.

Trading 1:1 vs zeals is not the problem T is trying to resolve late game.
Not to mention neither player has the greater econ late game. It's just 3 v 3. 70 vs 70 unless the map is big enough and the game long enough to allow SCV sac for CC's.

How is that relevant? Effort did make spines and spores and that's what innovation had to deal with. You can have spines and spores and still get your ass kicked by drops. They are not the end all of drops, especially when you can simply drop a few spaces to the right or left.

Everything can be good at something. Yet not everything is good enough, or relevant to the task at hand.
I'm saying that mines are not relevant to the task of lategame TvP.
