I am a Terran player and I don't understand at all what just happened. How do you lose 300 mins/100 gas 5-6 times only killing 9 probes and be that far ahead...

Guessing defending the drops took all his apm and messed up his macro even though the drop did no damage.

Defending drops constantly is really troublesome.

I really hate those hellbat drops... Inno can suicide the medievac everytime yet still gets ahead with them. I don't think that's a great thing for game design.

That was a sloppy game by sOs. Yes, his drop defense was good, but his macro was slipping constantly, and his play was passive as hell.

He didn't macro behind it though...he got supply blocked way more than Innovation did.

The greatest damage the hellbats did was to Sos' APM

sOs needs to not go colossus... i fucking hate when i see protoss go colossus... it's essentially asking to lose.

What else are you going to do? Storm doesn't do shit against marauder hellbat.

Gotta say, not a fan of the Day9/Apollo commentary. They sound like they don't give a fuck, with a blase attitude. Come one dudes. try at least.

Silly games like that one is not going to keep/attract more SC2 players/viewers

Great production and skilled players but very inconsistently (un)exciting game (SC2).

There is a serious stream. Go watch that. I love the less serious commentary.

Haven't followed any HoTS in many months, just went to another forum and here - man that first game seemed to really hedge purely on the drops though, hellbat hellbat hellbat - is this the current state of SC2?

How was he supposed to be aggressive with medivacs constantly dropping his mineral line?

The lounge cast is supposed to be like that. It has been all weekend. It;s not a cast, it's just hanging out watching the games.
