Bombers knows that he is in huge trouble if his parade push is stopped. His idea is to force the zerg to require is mutas to be at home defending. Never ending pressure will do that but if the zerg manages to force the terran to regroup and macro up a little bit, then SK showed what will happen. | ||

Soulkeys is just to good and Maru couldnt counter to stop him... T_T Maru | ||

Mines actually seems borderline useless atm. Honestly, I can't remember the last time I saw them giving the terrans a cost effective engagement. I think it might just be better to not build any at all and instead get Thors as a reponse to mass Mutas. | ||

Even when you have already 4-5 per base, you continue building them like this is a part of your macro rotation. Otherwise the mutaball just goes in and one-shots everything. If I recall correctly that's what Taeja did his last tournament win. thats what i do too. but it helps that i have absolutly shit macro, so i always have the spare minerals to build the turrets. | ||

It is like saying that Protoss don't need nexus cannons because if they made 10-15 regular cannons, they would be fine vs drops and aggression in PvT. Making that much static defense before your 3rd get saturated is a big investment. | ||

I saw that finals and really didn't think Mines provided anything special. Not in battles at least. Indeed, it shut down a bit of counterharass opportunities by Life, however. But that's easily avoidable as Soulkey showed in this game, by not counterattacking with your entire force at once, but actually splitting it up. So against players of less caliber of Soulkey, Widow Mines may still have some utility at stopping counterattacks, but its only a matter of time before they become oboslete I believe. | ||

"in the long run" he's not saying make 10-15 turrets before you get your third saturated, he's saying you should have made 10-15 turrets by the end of a 25 min game (replacing the ones you loose) | ||

Don't think that's mass muta play, that's just overall advantage, muta count just keeps growing, and still easily hold expansions without muta's help. | ||

That said, it's still awesome that Maru has reached the semi-final in four top Korean tournaments in a row. | ||
