Hah, you're cute

Lol guys sorry for breaking the hype but Firecake does not play SH that much (not like Snute for example) but when he does it he does it well which means never attacking (thank you David Kim for this wonderful unit lol).
For a longer series you should have go for Snute or Stephano.
I don't think Firecake will allow Avilo to tech up I believe he'll go for a lot of timings attacks with roaches or mutas.

Wanted to remind everyone that the straw poll ( http://strawpoll.me/1046485 ) is still running up until the hour of the show match. It's a new system, and we're really excited to see how it comes into play

the Hundred year War
btw some rules and/or quotas should be implemented to keep the battle fair and gentlemanly
no rush 20 minutes
must make atleast 10 Swarmhosts
must make atleast 10 tanks
might as make it Big Game Hunters too, so there is plenty of resources and make long games to really test the mental fortitude of the players

Someone just donated an additional $40 for a second bounty that will be linked & shared during the time of the actual show match. Clarity on the monetary split for this event:
Winner: $150
Loser: $50
FIrst Bounty: $25
Second Bounty: $40

I've always been impressed with minor things that Avilo adds to his play.
Like planting barracks in open spaces against ultras to create chokes. Even uncompleted, the Zerg will have to take a few swipes to get rid of them. And usually, Zergs don't micro their army and get caught up in the choke.

This is true but it's usually against weaker competition imo, he's gotta survive until the lategame for that to even come into play. But SimCity is a very underutilized skill in sc2 I feel like, and most of the time is overlooked. BroodWar there were so many little simcity tricks that could be used and was an important aspect of the game.

Yeah, sim city is definitely a Terran strength that we don't see enough in pro games. Much like zerg creep when SC2 was new. I saw an Idra vs Mvp ladder game that Artosis casted, and Idra's creep spread was so lacking by today's standards. Once Zergs figured out that creep is fucking good, they use it to great effect.
If a Terran is maxed, and has plenty of production, then getting sim-city is better than banking up resources imo. Re-maxing is better for the other two races. So planting planetaries would be better - as it buys Terrans the needed time to remax.
|
Wow, 2 port banshee kills 1 queen and like 2 drones.
|
That was some interesting banshee harass. Kind of target everything and fly around in circles without actually killing anything, then losing them to mutas. New meta in the making here.
|
So we are basicly going to see some kind of tower defense this series
|
I really like this casting duo.
|
ZG is excellent, she deserves a chance at bigger tournaments. I'd like to see her paired with one of the established casters.
|
Avilo not quite able to divide the map in half this game.

Seeker missile so OP, forces out pull-back micro!
|
Avilo is being tooled so badly. I've rarely seen a turtling terran with this many ravens lose so many units. Firecake is just completely superior.
|
Seeing turtle raven mech getting crushed feels so good.
|
How surprising, 3 bases loose to 10. If that was Avilos plan for the rest of the series he might consider re-thinking it
|
Avilo is just outclassed here. Can't believe his style works so well on NA ladder in the first place..

Lmfao, what a sad game.

Well, he did fuck up with his two base two port banshee opening. Losing those banshees sucked hardcore, and he didn't scout well. 
|
The interesting question is: Will he complain that he got stream-cheated, Zerg is imba or he was lagging?

That tells you more about NA than anything else. The style works if done right, just that most terrans probably like playing the race because of the multitasking and control needed. Mass raven turtle is like pouring bleach in your eyes if you like the active, classic terran style.
|
I'd like to see them play on heavy rain
|
Lol Daybreak. So basically they are covering every base here.

Avilo is a GM, which means he's better than 99.98% (ok, so I'm slightly off) of players. If you're a highly ranked GM, you're exempt, but it's still the case that for the overwhelming majority of sc2 players, avilo would beat them.

For gods sake Firecake, just set up the engagement up in a good way and you roll him..

Can Firecake realize he is on 1/1 with his melee?
|
The lack of upgrades is REALLY costing Firecake in the fights.
|
Maybe firecake thinks he is terran and that air attacks improves his ground attacks
|
I guess "zerrg ruuush" isn't as strong as it was in the wot beta
|
Watching this game helps me understand how Firecake vs Mana could happen. Firecake cannot finish off games at all

This is what I wanted to see, locusts vs pdd and al that shit

I'm kinda glad to see Avilos ultra turtle style has no place in actual competitive play.
Mech is all about those timing pushes, now if only people realized that instead of calling mech a turtlefest just because they watched avilo stream once.
|
wasn't super familiar with Firecake. His viper use and general tactics are skillful and fun to watch
|
i think avilo played pretty ok.
ppl forget that firecake acutally is in EU premier for the 2nd season now, while not being top class, hes still a very good zerg.
fun games!
