I don't think it was the risky.


It was greedy but apparently not risky. I don't want to get into MSC and Nexus canon debate but there is no denying that Blizzard really gave protoss opportunity to play greedy but also be safe with solid execution.



There might be a way to punish it, but you'd need the mechanics and control of Innovation/Taeja/Maru/Jjakji and while Hack is good,he isn't there yet.


Im used to play an aggressive 111 vs toss, with a fast 8 marine drop in order to trigger overcharge 1 or twice, and then i push with 3 tanks and double expand.
I can tell you if protoss open like naniwa did, its 100% win.
Thats why i think its very risky.

He's actually quite a solid player, mid Code S level. Definitely far superior to Nani.


No, Hack is in no way far superior to Nani...

Hmm. I can just find stats finding three series between HerO and Nani, two of them going 2-0 HerO and one 2-0 to Nani.

I mean every time a terran manages to do it he gets added to the list... After a time, the list doesn't look as impressive as when it started :p

Also if it turns out that Nani's build is safe (which is possible and an important point, after all it is close enough to the Oz build which was supposed to be safe and then got destroyed by Polt), then the next step is to see what happens when terran plays equally greedy, cause it doesn't look like Naniwa can get agressive out of this (especially when he doesn't seem to scout most of the time).

It's a rare occasion for any tournament to have decent music.

Dreamhack doesn't care and just plays old school pop, which is just fun. So they win, in my opinion.

If you lose to a player, any player, you aren't "far superior". I'd stretch to them being equals on most days, with Hack possibly having a higher average level. But Nani's peak level is probably higher than Hack's - only he doesn't play at it too often.

Protoss can put pressure faster than terran because terran first needs to research stim etc. before that terran needs to hide behind the bunkers.

There is. You basically need to get your army over there before the 3rd Nexus is finished.

I dont know though, I was wondering why hack went allin like that in game 2. Why not just kill the 3rd? Like 10-15 sec before he engaged naniwa could in no way hold that 3rd and nexus cannon had ran out. It just seemed like he went "ohh i can win it all right here" and pulled workers rather than play the game out ahead.
