![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/r9ZH0.png) TaKeTV.net Nathanias Ksenobayt | EmScTV Monday, Sep 09 1:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) Season 2 starts with a bang! With the super transfer of INnoVation, Team Acer could be the the new superpower of the Western clan scene. But can they confirm the high hopes today against their GSTL partners-in-crime Axiom? Ryung <Newkirk Precinct TE> INnoVation<Akilon Wastes> <Derelict Watcher> <Frost> <Whirlwind> <Polar Night> <Star Station> <Yeonsu> <Belshir Vestige>
* = ace. Last player on team can be chosen from the entire lineup, even if the player was eliminated before.

Rooting for Acer! I just hope they won't be using Innovation too often, there are a lot of great foreigners on that team as well!

Only thing I can think of is if he has it hotkeyed so he double clicks the depot hotkey, boxes everything around it and quickly has his reinforcements hotkeyed/selected as well. It's perfectly doable with camera hotkeys as well but he might have all of those set already

Yep, that's why he's not a top player. He has his moments when you think "this guy is just as good as anybody, why hasn't he won more?" then he has his moments where you think, "that's why".

Yes, he wasn't happy about that.
But before everything was imba (his words, not mine), Ryung's TvT and TvZ were phenomenal. He just always ran into a protoss eventually which more often than not ended his runs

Thanks for the info. So one game then, doesn't sound too strenuous now lol

TvZ is Ryung's worst match up. If Bly goes roach-bane all in Ryung will get crushed. I don't think I've ever seen Ryung successfully defend a roach-bane all-in.
|
Roach Warren, without surprise. Skipping bunk and Mines against bly was so foolish.
|
How can you not expect something like that from Bly ? I can't understand.
|
|
|
ryung

Sigh. One of these days Ryung will lose to something that isn't a roach all-in.

Ohlordlol.
Oh Ryung, you silly goose you.
|
Maybe Ryung doesnt know Bly's style even though they're part of the same gstl team.
|
One would think that after 3 years of Bly all-ining people would learn to play safe vs him.
|
Yeah that's how you do it. Robovation down? Bring out the Handsome.

hahaha fuck yeah Bly \m/ gj

Weird play from Ryung, why did he back all the way to the ramp like that? The point of the reaper-hellion build is to pressure!

Yeah, he should have played it like Flash did against hyvaa in Code S this season. Flash just assumed the rushes and prepared accordingly. Ryung can outplay Bly in the late game so just needs to make sure he gets there. Problem is Ryung is such a greedy player I don't think he has that in him.

Nope the only Acer players in AxiomAcer are MMA, Scarlett and INnoVation (because quite frankly the other Acer players aren't good enough to be blunt).

So true. But also why Korea is so dominant. If one top Korean is off his day then they have another 30-40 Koreans to fill the void.

Isn't hydra-ling into muta a really common build? Feels like I've seen it regularly ever since Life was doing it in WoL.

GG. Well played CranK. I kinda felt that he coasted to that win. Let's see if Nerchio can do any better.

Bly is probably the most confusing player there is. He can take games off of almost anyone, but sometimes his play looks just bad.

On September 09 2013 23:09 goody153 wrote: im kinda confused.. what was bly trying to accomplish there ?
I guess if you can dupe the Protoss into going like double robo for colossi against ling hydra, a muta switch would work. But Crank was able to defend with just stalker/sentry and his phoenixes even did damage with the hydra's there. So a muta switch was never going to work.

MMA will be a much tougher test for CranK than Bly and Nerchio were no doubt.

MMA vs Crank ahah. Must be weird to plan a clan war with the guy sitting next to you.

Solid play by MMA so far, doesn't let the harass get even close to doing damage.
Time to do damage now before storm!

MMA might regret his decision not to pull SCVs.

You mean even base? His 4th was denied for long, and Crank was sitting on 4 base pretty darn long. Longer than MMA actually.

I was very afraid for MMA. One battle where you notice DTs a bit late is very painful, plus Crank seemed to be getting away with making bases.

CranK was very resilient, great game !

MMA seems to be back in shape. Definitley better than a year ago.

MMA's drop play just took apart CranK and Alicia.

It was okay I suppose. Ryung had a nice banshee opening and made his lead count with good positional play just leapfrogging his tanks forward and INnoVation couldn't break the siege until gg.

MMA is a better player than Heart so it's an uphill battle for Axiom from here.

I'm so impressed by Heart in this match-up so far, he has been known to throw games though but I'd be surprised if MMA comes back from this far behind.

The openings: mma did a 2 rax reaper that killed absolutely nothing, that's a good amount of early gas and extra minerals on infrastructure that resulted in no payoff, wheras the banshees for heart did some damage, and unlocked better tech.

Good decision from Heart. I don't think he could have beaten INnoVation in a straight up macro game. Well played Axiom, I'm a bit gutted for Acer but please for Axiom. I suppose that's what happen when your two favourite teams face off against each other.

If you don't want to risk a build order loss, use a safer build order. Innovation took a risk that his opponent wouldn't 2 rax reaper him, and he didn't fully scout the base of his opponent either. Smart players try to take smart risks, but sometimes they don't pay off. If you feel that you're a lot better than your opponent, play a super safe opening or something.
Also, team Acer needs to get some Protoss >_>, and Axiom some Zerg.

Man, Axiom - Acer seems almost unstoppable, but I often forget how strong the two teams are alone too.

Yeah you're right, it's a short cut. With some SCVs pulled around the time his third Reaper moved out of the rax, Bogus could have lived.

Well no, it's the Axiom house and we are responsible for it's costs. The Korean wing of Acer stays there for the durtation of our GSTL competition.

What's really surprising is that this is the format that Acer should theoretically dominate in. Getting to use Innovation potentially 3 times in a Bo9 all kill format? Imbalanced as fuck.
But it's also probably not bad, giving Axiom a win against one of the strongest teams. This should help Axiom a lot in the standings.

Oh, that's right, they got rid of the revive rule. Thank goodness for that. 1 man teams do go against the spirit of the teamleague in my opinion.

Ryung has always been a TvT monster, and you can never count Heart out, he's got some sick builds and cheeses.
I'm not surprised that Innovation, who lost 0-4 to Maru, lost to them, not at all. TvT seems like his achilles heel.
Grats to Axiom on this one.

It's why I rooted against TL during the IPLTAC3 especially against the KR teams, even though I really like TaeJa and HerO's play. It was literally Team'TaeJa vs everybody. Everybody else combined for one or two kills, then TaeJa was sent in as ace to finish everything. If that teamleague had used the revive rule like ATC S1, we probably wouldn't have seen anybody else
