I guess I'll do the anaylsis since they won't. This build by MVP was something he used against Naniwa back during his S2 2012 GSL run. There are a lot of reasons he used this:

1) Tank play is rare and for a stylistic player like Sase, it would be harder to deal with.
2) The tanks defend from alot of early al-ins, all-ins that Sase uses fairly often.
3) Sase used this build ht into collosus. A Tank contain actually counters both as all the gas is spent on high splash units, units that can't tanor effectively kill tank since they have the contain.


He did it in the finals against Squirtle as well, game 6 on Dual Sight, if I remember correctly.

It goes back way before that, I think the first time ever was MC vs MVP on antiga shipyard.

nice mini-analysis, pretty much agree with all three points

SaSe storming his own zealots and it actually matters. Nice, nothing more depressing than seeing this and protoss still winning the fight.

We watching a different game? SaSe didn't come close to winning that fight O.o Even if he didn't storm his zealots he wasn't gonna break that contain...

Yeah, I should have clarified that. But the zealots died so much faster because of the own storms so it was even more one-sided.

No matter how many times I see it, it still hurts me to see a Terran 40 supply above the Protoss in the midgame, without any previous action.

Curious why you think this. Essentially you are saying that online games are purely coinflips, i.e. the results contain no information whatsoever, which is demonstrably false.

They should be judged accordingly. Online play is really painful cross region for like KR->EU or back.

Going into 2 absolute gas heavy techbuilds at once from 2base is just a huge mistake by SaSe. 2 expensive tech buildings, 2 expensive upgrades and the units cost tons of gas too. Also Sase suicided his MSC. was just generally bad play and a weird strat...

It has nothing to do with coinflips and everything to do with two opponents meeting on an uneven battlefield i.e. cross-server latency etc.

Sitting 10 feet away face to face from your opponent eliminates these external advantages.

Borsti ‏@_Borsti 3m

@mbCARMAC You probably talked to the players... Is SaSe a bit sick? I saw the tissues on his table and he seems a bit tired / exhausted

Michal Blicharz ‏@mbCARMAC 2m

.@_Borsti yes, SaSe is sick, unfortunately.

I can't see the system specs anywhere, what PC's are they using?



Case: CoolerMaster 690 II Advance U3

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H

CPU:
INTEL Core i5-3570K

GPU: Zotac Nvidia GTX670

RAM: 8GB DDR3-RAM Crucial Sport Kit PC-1600,CL9,1.5V

PSU: 630W BeQuiet Pure Power L7

SSD:
120GB, 2.5" Samsung 840 Basic

Monitor: BenQ XL2420T (120Hz)



Well it's better than my shit, for sure.


As a tech guy that makes me cringe a bit though


What do you mean ?



Well, to start out: The motherboard and CPU pairing - It's a z77 board (some are ok to get) but very low end. Not an overclocking board - but the CPU is a 3570(k), which means you pay extra for it to be unlocked for overclocking, which you can't do on such a motherboard. That's not a big deal though, just slightly confusing

The GPU is big overkill even for trying to run max settings 120fps - sc2 drops below that very easily, but due to CPU limits, not really GPU. If i max the game on my 260 and look at workers, i have something around 150fps, and the 670 is something like four times as powerful. GPU is almost completely unused as you get later in the game, a high end GPU being below 20% utilization on max settings is commonplace in endgame

RAM, can't really fault, but PSU, you can totally just run a 430/450w unit like the corsair cx430 or if you want high quality, rosewill capstone 450w, i don't know of the quality of that particular PSU, but the kind of system they have under gaming load will use something like 250w

And the ssd, just not the best nor the cheapest model, 840 and 840 basic are in a weird place compared to 830, 840 pro and other brands. They spent a bit on the case too, for no real reason other than appearance - it's just if you wanted to make a system for running an endgame battle at as high FPS as possible, you would cut massively out of the GPU ($250 out) and that would pay for a strong cpu cooler and better board (like z77-ud3 or z77x-ud3h) for a guaranteed, safe overclock without pushing voltages (to get ~30-40% higher minimum fps, due to cpu), and then make slight adjustments to psu and ssd - though that's all really nitpicky. It's just not something i would build, though it's a great system and i'm sure it's hard to find any real fault with it.


The case has a sata bay in the top (I have the older one), thus allowing an ssd to be allocated to each player that can be easily swapped.


Thanks actually that's interesting and valid.

ty for explaining


I just like being a smartass sometimes =P


Yeah its a really smart idea giving everyone a ssd. Makes so much sense.

pulling all your probes away for one mine does just about as much damage as having lost a couple of probes.
