MC isn't the king of 2base all-ins, the real king lives with skt atm.
In any event, the abusiveness of something is almost irrelevant to its success rate. I would still think sh style is an abusive disgusting, way of playing if it had a 5% winrate. Likewise, just about anything related to forcefields invokes similar emotional states in me. Making an impenetrable wall which can be kept up almost indefinitely as a strategy is revolting.

It's something about the idea that you can see in an all in coming well in advance, take appropriate measures, and still lose that just bother some people, myself included. Mana lost that because he messed up, repeatedly. It's a map issue more than anything, Yeonsou is just an awful map.

Going to be interesting to see how Classic will fare in a stacked group like this outside of Korea.
Gogo Classic!
Let the power of Terran thats still exists inside guide you.

And now MC and Heromarine advancing.
One foreigner has to advance, on homeground too. And of course all hail to the president of Protoss!

I don't agree. I think two-base turtling while getting upgrades and whatnot is a good strategy for holding the Immo push. And Mana -did- lose.

Except it wasn't a high level Korean. And Mana didn't really do anything wrong besides miss some FF's. He was just too timid and should've went for the jugular. But like MC said, the Zerg was JD so you gotta respect him which probably contributed to Mana's reluctance to fully commit. Not to mention it was an elimination game, nerves running high man.

Here's to hoping Innovation brought his B-game, I wanna see him out-mechanic some people hard.

Man, TL goes crazy for JD lol
He is NOT playing well, playing like that if he faces better P players he is going to have a bad time, he really need to step it up to have a chance i dont think this level is enough to beat Rain or Hero, maybe not even Patience if he plays like yesterday
Mana made some weird mistakes in the last 2 games and Stardust, well... looks like he was recording for a Jackass movie

Does someone being far worse then his opponent and almost winning seriously make that better in your eyes?
Go and watch rogue vs parting on the same map from the r1 spl play offs to see something scouted minutes in advance and still get rolled over.

I wonder what team Mana will go to...

He lost because he played poorly.
But yes, 2x ling upgrades with mass spines, into fast infestors is how you deal with this. Suppy was the first to do that strategy regularly I think. I just kind of puke in my mouth every time I see a forcefield these days, it's more or less instinct at this point.

You can "take appropriate measures" to a lot of builds and still lose, that's Starcraft. It's executing those "appropriate measures" that seperates the winner from the loser. And exactly like you said, Jaedong executed his part much better than Mana did. I wouldn't say Mana "messed up repeatedly" because he really didn't. Just a missed FF once or twice can completely change the game, and like MC said if he would've recalled after killing the roach warren, collected maybe 1 immortal or 2 and left again, while warping in some more sentries, he would've been able to push again with all that army still alive and it would've been really potent. So that 1 decision really decided it in the end, everything after that was just JD taking control of the game.

Which is why I'm calling you on it because it spreads a bad mood and faulty ideas in the LR thread : P
