Damn, Taeja had a much better army and 4 mining bases, Life had like his 3rd and that's it, he could have 200 drones and still has shit eco.

you cannot get an advantage with 65 drones if you dont have anywhere to mine from.


This.

Life had his 3rd/4th sniped a billion times, he had 65 drones mining from one/two bases, THAT makes no sense.
I used to organize tournaments for ESL Italy and referee Go4SC2s, WCSs, and IEMs for ESL SC2.

Taeja is by far the most regular SC2 player. He doesn't have a clear weakpoint as others and excels in all three matchups.

Congratz! Player of the year hands down.

No matter how Terran's economy is crippled, he will still be on feet because of Mules and better upgrades, so I don't know what is Life trying.


and a 75/75 great splash unit that comes out in two?

Just always see zergs bleeding gas. They need somehting like lurkers to be able to hold ground semi-effectively or make it painful to push into some places.

Zergs need to go Hive tech earlier.

When do you have the chance to go to hive tech exactly? Not only does it takes ages to get the infestor pit and the hive but then you need spend anther ton to make some use out of it. Hive tech usually aint worth it.


this. why is spire tech not able to tech to hive?!

Doesn't matter who is actually the best player, what matters is getting the results.

Taeja won 5 tournaments this year, I don't think any other player won more than 2.

Their end-game army isn't mobile enough to keep up with the terran.


That, and it's also difficult to invest the time/resources into infestation pit and hive and survive against constant pressure. Personally I'd love to see 3/3 at infestation tech.

that would be nice .. but in exchange terrans should have a buff so that they can finally tech up .. not get stuck with marine marauder

Do terrans even have anything better in their higher tech then MMMM? It feels like the ultimate terran comp already.

The Terran has a constant marine building strat which is nearly unbreakable without crippling his economy first... And he's got unsinkable economy, too. I hope I'm wrong and somebody will correct me... But I really couldn't enjoy the last game because of a nagging feeling that this is wrong.

zerg had no bases, and zerg never really had the army advantage in the game anyway

I think this is why I think Life's style is more suited to ZvP than ZvT. Yes, killing workers is good in both matchups, but in ZvT the terran can always bank on mules, and their late game army is extremely mineral based, so the resources you sacrifice killing workers in run-bys could probably be better spent elsewhere.

Pros cannot be trusted to give an unbiased view of themselves or their own race. There is still some discussion to be had and games to be played, but Taeja could very well be the best T at the moment. Who is better?

MMMMM probably needs a nerf if we want to get a good Tier 3 tho.

yeah. Terran t3. what should this army look like? bc and ravens supported by thors? I'm so sick of this tier bullshit.

Taeja had an advantage to start with, that huge counterattack was life bringing himself back into the game. Then taeja consistently sniped life's fourth, and managed to get his own up, really snowballed after that.

I mean, terran has mules, but there was way more to it than that.
