Yeah thats why I thought he should have done aswell.

So far, out of the 10 possibles players to advance, 7 Protoss, 2 Zergs and theres still a spot for a T, P or Z
i love PvP, so im not actually sad about this =P

Hope True can fix up his play. Jaedong used to have awful ZvP and he's done a lot to fix it up.

When did he get ahead? He was behind in both games, maybe apart from the short time in g3 after the gateway allin was defended.

Well, it improved a lot. I remember that Seed - MC finals, god people were more disgusted by this match-up back then than in the current season, though we had way less PvPs

Who am I to question him Mutas was one of the few things that could win True the game. Even if he was getting rolled by the Roach army he would be able to retreat up ramps, warp in sentries and similar and forcefield. Parting killed the spire and the lair he had all day of basically like 6 mutas being all that would exist. That's why I was very confused why parting didn't just attack him again after his wall was done but meh he is Parting and I am not. True could have built a Spire at one of his other bases just before the Lair died. Not uncommon for Zerg to do that kind of thing, Mutas can win games single handed. PartinG also didn't know that True's gas income was complete shit. He didn't have a need to fear Roaches at that point if he was confident in his control (and c'mon it's fucking PartinG) so the Phoenixes were to lock the game down 100%
My overall point is just that you don't win with Mutas from behind, its not a thing that ever works mutas are something you do when you are even or ahead but as behind as he was there was no way he was ever going to have enough mutas to be significant in the game.

his worker count was bad, his tech nonexistent and he had no upgrades in both of them. Only thing he was ahead was supply, which is completely standard for roachplay against Protoss. He wasn't in a bad spot sometimes, but ahead... Like in g2 he had 100 vs 70 supply at best. With slow roach, no lair against a robo Protoss.

Ya I was thinking that in game 2 he was never really ahead. But at the same time, you could argue he did almost end up winning it. I don't know who wins 9 muta vs 11 sentry + 1 stalker. Although Parting did have hallucination + he might be able to kill all buildings anyway.
I wish we could snapshot that game right after True killed the immortals. If he had started droning right away into muta, I wonder if that would have worked. I don't think Partings immortal push would have been any quicker that it was, because to hold off True he was building the sentries he was gonna build anyway.
Anyway, hoping for Bbyong to advance outa the group!

There are lots of aggressive timings, especially with hydras, that have worked well in ZvP and the aggressive multitask heavy Terrans seems to do the best in PvT.

can you do Live Reports more posts then one? The one-post thing is more of a small write-up we do when nobody is live reporting. It's better to do it in a bunch of posts throughout the game so that the people who only read the thread and can't watch are updated on what happens during the game.
Also will you do the next ones as well? Or is teamamerica going to do that?

I'll LR report the next one either way. I'll try and do live updates, but I have only one monitor so it might not be as crisp as these other LR bonwjas make it.

Instead he threw all his units and died to the counter. I think it could be called "ahead", but not by much

yeah. I think for how the games set up (roach/ling rally in g2; defending the gateway push after falling behind due to the canonrush, late third) he did a lot of right moves. There may have been one or two situations (like after killing the immortals) where another way would have been possible, but I'd question that it is definitely better than what he did.
