but there is nothing to deny that terran SUCKED after the patch, period. tanks are still not seen as worth building, especially if you leave them abandoned in the middle of the map (cough bomber) lol.


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.

taeja life dreamhack finals........


Well, as far as I remember he flew in blindly into like 5-6 mines and his mutas were clumped when he attacked the SCVs

No way Soulkey loses a ZvP. He is going to sweep the floor with Rain.

LIke the Dear vs Rain series. Dissapointed in Soulkey vs. Maru. Maru was looking like a B-teamer. And can more people complain about the twitch vods which spoil the series! Super annoying!
why?

Well, we had this kind of comments from avilo "mines will never work with 2supply" throughout all of the HotS beta. And I'm pretty sure that Taeja didn't just abuse Life's overcommiting style, he'd also have used mines against any other Zerg. With nearly all of them being just weaker than Life.


That's not what I wrote at all. I was only talking about when they are used defensively. With mines you are incentivized to army-trade quite a lot as your maxed out army isn't very efficienctly. I also think Avilo was talking about using them along with mech, which imo is quite obvious as mech doesn't benefit from armytrading.

So Mines synergize with offensive-oriented play, however, when used defensively it is mostly a gimmick and it has little to none long-term potential. Widow Mines won't be phased out from day1, but they will probably see less and less usage as the game dynamic becomes more developed.

I believe that if terran doesn't adapt to turtlish oriented mech style, then terran W/R in tvz will continue to decline.

I was hoping we were over that at this point. Thankfully there are only a few remnants left, and one just got a 30-day last-chance temp

Welcome back Rain.
It's still sad that Maru did not advance to the finals. PvZ is too boring. ;__;

Lol, poor Maru. I remember him saying he never wants to play Soulkey again in interview after U&D (he was sent to it Soulkey in WCS KR S1).

During the interviews (if Tasteless' translation is correct):

1. Rain confidently predicted Soulkey defeating Maru to meet him in the finals (prior to Maru-Soulkey match)

2. Soulkey said he expected a stronger challenge from Rain (after defeating Maru)

And it showed in the matches - Soulkey was the better player today, by quite a stretch. And whilst I can't comment much about his overall strategies in build (I don't play and watch enough to know the current meta), Maru did a good job in multi-tasking and micro-ing, but Soulkey was just a level above. Maru gave close to his best, but it was not enough.

Sure, Soulkey is not unbeatable. He has his off-days, as do any player. But he is the best Zerg, by quite a stretch. Yes, Life had won foreign tourneys - but those were tourneys Soulkey never had a chance to compete in. So we fall back on the tourneys that both were competing in - the 3 WCS tourneys. Life couldn't even make it to the RO8 and Global Finals. Soulkey could (except he missed out on Global Finals in S2). Also, Soulkey did quite well in Proleague (though he kept losing to Inno - but during that time, which Zerg wouldn't?). So putting things into perspective, Soulkey achieved much, much more than Life in 2013.

(Maybe I did suggest or even say that Life isn't a solid Zerg. That may be wrong. Solid or not, Life is currently a level or two below Soulkey - that's my real point. So if Life is solid, Soulkey is super-solid.)

wow, did not expect these results. I mean, ya Dear said that Rain will be rough and he is honored to play him but 3-1 for Rain, hmm. As for Maru vs SK, Maru has been on fire recently and I recall reading he beat SK 2-1 or something a while back. Figured it'll be a close 3-2 series but sounds like SK gave Maru quite the fight lol

Good to see Rain bringing it. Dear is damn good, but he really did not show himself to be the undisputed best Protoss/overall player like some people make out.

I like both players, and hope (and indeed expect) them to both have strong 2014s. Protoss needs some damn consistent players ffs :p
