Yeh, I think she may have "revoulutiozed" TvZ. At least, I have a hard time seeing terran have any chance vs this unless they get some Ravens.


What are you going to do with Ravens?


Detection primarily.

You simply can't rely on scans when your OC's get sniped so easily.

you ravens get sniped even easier following that logic.

as a terran, you need to forc zerg to build things other than mutalisks. also a good mine-turret defense even though mines are pretty bad now.


yeh its true. You will need to have quiete a few of them probably, and that just means your straight up battle army is pretty bad. But its the absolute only altenative i can see here.

One thing you possibly can is to put up Pdd's at your bases. This may mean that a high amount of turrets (let's say 6-7 per base) + 1-2 pdd's can fend off the 30 Mutalisks somewhat efficiently. This may make it possible for the terran player to attack as it makes the Mutalisk less efficient and then you use your Ravens for detection with your main army.

I guess vs Scarletts mass Mutalisk style you can afford to invest alot into defense since Scarletts main army is less cost efficient anyway due to having fewer blings in her composition.

Oh, those double standarts. Especially, since Vortix has slightly more accomplishments.


I don't think we can argue against Scarlett currently being better and performing better than Vortix though

She hasn't advanced yet while VortiX is in the next round. Techincally VortiX is better currently. ;D


    (1652) Scarlett  0-0  VortiX (1690)      
---------------------------------------------
2.63% 5-0 0-5 3.69%
6.80% 5-1 1-5 8.92%
10.54% 5-2 2-5 12.92%
12.71% 5-3 3-5 14.57%
13.15% 5-4 4-5 14.07%
---------------------------------------------
45.82% 54.18%

Median outcome: Scarlett 4-5 VortiX

We only accept Bo69s.


Well then Snute wins.

Abusing mass mutas is nothing new, nor revolutionary...


But the way he abuses the Baneling landmines all the time to secure the path for the Mutalisks to go back seems REALLY strong. On the other side I think Jjakji should just have gone for the kill instead of moving back and forth all the time. Pretty bad idea against someone like Scarlett imo.


Well going for the kill here would be equal to base trade. I don't see how terran can ever win basetrade vs burrowed banelings + mass Muta....... Not without Ravens at least.

But I think mixing in Ravens is also just inefficient as they kinda just suck vs muta/bling in straight up battles.
Mutalisks will probably get nerfed in one of the coming patches, but untill then terrans will just have to learn to use Raven-mech w/ a very turtle style. I don't believe the offensive bio+mine style really has any long-term viability on the highest level


Lets not exaggerate the situation! It's not like the Terrans just lose against Zerg all the time - there are a few Zerg who do REALLY well right now (As long as they don't meet Taeja or someone like that :-P ) but there are more than enough Terrans who still win against these Zerg as well.

There might be a problem once the Zerg is ahead and therefore able to focus on Mutalisks alone - but the matchup has the same problem if it's the other way round. If the Zerg is behind... it snowballs out of control rather fast as well.

It's not a double standard. There are exactly two foreigners who are considered to be on par with mid/ top Koreans, and they're Scarlett and Naniwa. Vortix isn't ever even in the conversation lol which is why it's embarrassing for MMA to lose to him.


Scarlett participates in many more tournaments than Vortix, can't blame Vortix's skills for her being more prominent representing the foreigners in the international scene.


Right, but cheering for one player and not cheering for a second player doesn't create a "double standart" [sic].

You are right about Scarlett and Naniwa being the best foreigners but how does that make it embarrassing for MMA to lose to Vortix? He is still good, and like many foreigners not very consistent but has a high top level but a low worst level, also he isnt a foreign terran. Vortix having a good day and playing good, which he did, MMA not being in his best shape, is not like Bhutan beating Spain in football like you make it sound lol.

I don't think Scarlett was ahead that game? I remember her being 20 supply down at some point before she went into heavy aggression.

But my point is here that I don't think terran has any real chance against that style with their current playstyle. So they need to adapt in some way (I suggested one way in a previous post), but ofc that style only "works" in theory.

Regardless, I think Mutalisks are too dominant. Mutalisks were only buffed due to the introduciton of the Widow Mine. Now that they been nerfed, it also makes sense to nerf Mutalisks.

If you can't beat it then don't. The answer is to go back to WoL style 3 base all-in pushes.

Well going for the kill here would be equal to base trade. I don't see how terran can ever win basetrade vs burrowed banelings + mass Muta....... Not without Ravens at least.

But I think mixing in Ravens is also just inefficient as they kinda just suck vs muta/bling in straight up battles.
Mutalisks will probably get nerfed in one of the coming patches, but untill then terrans will just have to learn to use Raven-mech w/ a very turtle style. I don't believe the offensive bio+mine style really has any long-term viability on the highest level


Lets not exaggerate the situation! It's not like the Terrans just lose against Zerg all the time - there are a few Zerg who do REALLY well right now (As long as they don't meet Taeja or someone like that :-P ) but there are more than enough Terrans who still win against these Zerg as well.

There might be a problem once the Zerg is ahead and therefore able to focus on Mutalisks alone - but the matchup has the same problem if it's the other way round. If the Zerg is behind... it snowballs out of control rather fast as well.


I don't think Scarlett was ahead that game? I remember her being 20 supply down at some point before she went into heavy aggression.

But my point is here that I don't think terran has any real chance against that style with their current playstyle. So they need to adapt in some way (I suggested one way in a previous post), but ofc that style only "works" in theory.

Regardless, I think Mutalisks are too dominant.


If you can't beat it then don't. The answer is to go back to WoL style 3 base all-in pushes.

In every matchup! CreatorPrime will win a GSL.

Embarrassing for MMA. Losing a series to Vortix.


Oh, those double standarts. Especially, since Vortix has slightly more accomplishments.


I don't think we can argue against Scarlett currently being better and performing better than Vortix though

She hasn't advanced yet while VortiX is in the next round. Techincally VortiX is better currently. ;D


    (1652) Scarlett  0-0  VortiX (1690)      
---------------------------------------------
2.63% 5-0 0-5 3.69%
6.80% 5-1 1-5 8.92%
10.54% 5-2 2-5 12.92%
12.71% 5-3 3-5 14.57%
13.15% 5-4 4-5 14.07%
---------------------------------------------
45.82% 54.18%

Median outcome: Scarlett 4-5 VortiX

We only accept Bo69s.

Eh, in general I don't really care who is better or not, I just think lots of people don't rate VortiX appropriately because they dislike him for whatever reason. Maybe because he did well in late WoL while not being Scarlett.

Tasteless hailed him as the Best Broodlord Pusher in the Game, and I trust Tasteless. Unfortunately the title is less cool than it sounds.

Currently? No, certainly not. Does´nt change my point, though.


It does, actually. If one player is currently good and the other isn't (Scarlett/Vortix), one of two players (MMA/jjakji) of roughly equal skill shouldn't be losing to the inferior player. I disagree that losing to Vortix is "embarrassing" since the guy is pretty good still, but I can see the reasoning.

Skill does not equal shape though. Vortix has proven, that he has the neccessary skill to compete at a top level. Keep in mind, between him and Scarlett were only 300 WCS points and he made Season 3 finals and took maps against both his opponents there, so it´s not like there would be a huge difference between them. If you combine that with his accomplishments in the past, who are arguably bigger than Scarletts, the first statement just becomes offensive towards Vortix. I mean, noone would say, that is embarrassing to lose to Mvp, although he is far away from his top shape, because everyone knows, that his skill is there. Denying Vortix the same treatment and not acknowledging his skill (not to the same extend as Mvp ofc. but you get the idea) is´nt really fair in my eyes.

Yeh, I think she may have "revoulutiozed" TvZ. At least, I have a hard time seeing terran have any chance vs this unless they get some Ravens.

I cannot express with words how sick I am of these debates.

Haha, come on, you didn't really take this seriously.

I thought only Germans were supposed to do that.

They just become so obnoxious and stupid after a while. "OMG player x placed 47th in some tourney 13 years ago so according to this magic graph he will beat your player by 167-54 if they ever play!"

Want to know who the best players are? Watch the fucking games and see how they do vs elite opponents on a consistent basis. There, done.
