How this match shifts playoff chances (without extreme cases):
mouz When they win here, they are through. Otherwise they still need to win one of their other two matches.
Team Acer would benefit if mouz wins but they have all chances to qualify by themselves and don't need to look at this match.
mYinsanity wants mouz to win, so they can afford to lose against Acer. They would still rely on that neither Millenium nor yoeFW winning all their matches. If they win against Acer, they are through no matter what.
Axiom needs to win here and in their other match against Empire-Fnatic and hope that either mYinsanity loses against Acer or that mousesports loses all of their remaining matches. They would still rely on neither Millenium nor yoeFW winning all their matches or do so with a poor mapscore.
|
Let's go Axiom! Let's make this playoff race exciting!
|
|
|
Go Axiom! Hoping Acer stomp mYi as well, so Axiom have a better qualification chance.
|
This is this big match. Axiom can't afford to lose this and a convincing win to improve the map differential would be really really helpful.
I think Axiom will take it, but mousesports have the potential to pull off the upset.
I'm so nervous for this.
|
Go mouz! I love mousesports and mYi, so a win here would benfit both teams.
If Vortix and Starbuck are having a good day i can see a 5-3 for mouz.
|
If Axiom loses this they are most likely not in the top 4. But I dont like the team anyway even if its TB.
|
Not long now and I am getting so tense. Axiom are on paper the better team but mouz are definitely capable of winning if their players are on form and Axiom players aren't. It all depends, we could have a fairly comfortable 5-3 victory like last season, a complete 5-0 thrashing like season one game two, or a mousesports victory like season one game one. Of course season one mouz didn't have VortiX.
I'm hoping for another Ryung all-kill. 
But yeah, very nervous. This match is so crucial, more so for Axiom than mousesports. mouz can still beat Millenium or yoe Flash Wolves to qualify if they lose this, but if Axiom lose they are out - simple as that.
Come on Axiom!!! Only half an hour to go....
|
I believe in Axiom, let's go!
(Ryung all-kill gogogo)
|
|
|
Ryung versus Starbuck is the first match:
Another Ryung all-kill of mouz incoming? Boy do I hope so.
|
Starbuck is a fucking genius.
|
I assume these games are being played on the NA server?

He has, and took 2 games against Acer. But he has severely underperformed this season

Not noticing the creep when it was basically slithering up the side of his nexus was a little strange.

starbuck is like a version of catz that wins games :o so good
|
Impact is going to kill Mouz then just look at Ryung and Alicia judgingly as if to ask why his hyungs can't win.
|
Now that is a good start for Mouz! The second game was so short that i missed it, but Starbuck clearly took care of Alicia.

Unscouted proxy hatch in the main after Alicia cannon rushed. GG.

What, I come back from tea time and Starbuck is already going ham again. He gets better and better.

Right now Impact don't ruin everything and lose to HasuObs. Time to get some momentum!!!

IT'S OK GUYS, THE 17TH REMAX SHOULD BE THE ONE THAT KILLS HIM!

Impact is like a chef, serving one course after another to Hasuobs. Each course gets heavier in terms of Zerginess
|
Bad map positions for hasu...

Come on Impact, let's get the all kill

Nice work Impact! Get in!!!

HeRoMaRinE took out Jaedong in ATC. He worries me. I hope Impact can make it three.

Impact was trading to keep Hasuobs from building up a deathball, and forced Hasuobs to constantly defend and prevented him from becoming comfortable enough to expand further and move out. It wasn't necessarily a quick win, but it was a very systematic and strategic win.

Fun is subjective, who woulda thunk it. This is how zerg played in BW, this is what I identify zerg with.

Jaedong is very hit or miss. He's gone 2-8 so far in WCS events in 2014.

2-2 is nerve wracking because a loss means that your opponent is one win away from being one win away from winning.
|
JD has been a lot more miss than hit in 2014. I still cannot figure out his approach to ZvT.

I wonder if his team atmosphere is starting to affect his performance. It doesn't seem like EG cares too much about SC2 anymore, and JD doesn't have any specialized practice partners (maybe JYP). So I would guess that he primarily ladders for practice, and that could explain why he has done poorly in WCS (where the opponents are known beforehand and players have time to prepare), and weekend tournaments (where he has done better, and opponents aren't known beforehand).
|
|
|
I'm fairly sure it has an effect. It's not unique to EG, but is probably symptomatic of many foreign teams in general. If JD was in a PL team I'm convinced he'd be a lot more consistent, and sharper strategically.

Nah, most Koreans seem to have some kind of support network outside their teams (usually).
Taeja has San and friends.
Team TSL has stuck together.
And besides that Jaedong is in the unique position of being a great Zerg player that no PL/GSL player will almost ever have to play making him a good choice for zerg practice.

I dunno about that. The most PL has taught Flash is to cc first against Shine.

Axiom lead, this is great but not over yet...
|
I don't think that build is very good tbh. You can't scan much since you need every mule, and Impact's creep spread meant the last battle was way into creep, no way to split there.
|
Time for the mouz ace. Impact beat him to seal the victory last time the teams played.

Flash has been doing CC first since 2006, it's like forge FE or die trying. With a lot of dying.

Ling runbys are like a stab in the back. If you try to pull it out, you can get stabbed in the front. If you don't, you don't pull it out, you pass out from the pain.

Impact performing absolutely brilliant when it matters.

oh god that was the highest coinflip zvz i have ever seen. both dont deserve to win/lose.
|
Last time Axiom were 4-2 up they lost 5-4. But that was to INnoVation, I don't want to talk too soon but I don't think that mouz have a player than can take three wins in a row. It would be nice if Impact can just see out the all-kill though and calm my nerves once and for all (until Empire-Fnatic that is).

I can sort of understanding pausing if there's someone banging at your door, but a phone call is sort of silly to pause for in most situations.

Axiom needs to grab a win here, and crush Empire Fnatic. Got to maximize that map score
|
Starbuck what a funny guy
|
Eh, slow roaches to waddle across the map with banshees already out, not feeling this for starbucket.
Edit: oh nydus, that makes more sense.

Please please please CranK, win this game.

It would have been cool to have Impact play in the ace. Then the winner gets an all kill
|
Starbuck does what Jaedong couldn't do yesterday. Plus, he moves past him in ATC individual stats.
|
Well, San just all killed iG. That is bad news for all playoff teams, because that means YoeFW could still make the 7-4 match score, and they'll have a sick map score (+12 already).
|
This is the first clan war this season where a team hasn't used the revive I believe.
|
Interesting choice to pick a protoss on this map, we will see how it goes
|
The third is very susceptible to a gateway attack, that might be the reasoning. Late game it's a very strong swarm host map.

That will only be an issue if mousesports beat Millenium because mouz and yoeFW have yet to play and only one can win.
But it will all be academic if CranK loses this map anyway. Come on CranK!

Opened with a 1 base roach burrow rush into triple hatch normal game. Though it wouldn't have worked if Ryung played the mid game right. Or sacced his reaper to scout.

This game is something between "obviously totally over" and "weirder shit has happened before".

What a relief, Axiom still in this.

Good showings by Starbuck and Impact, too bad mouz couldn't close it out.
|
I think mouz is pretty much qualified. Acer has to play vs Liquid and mYi.
|
It's not all good news though as San all-killing iG really improves their map score.

good job, crank. that was some awesome micro

edit: mouz is qualified. 5th has definitely 4 losses, mouz can only have 3.
Mouz still has to play Mill and YoeFW. If they lose both, they will be at 7-4, and could be knocked out in tiebreaks if their mapscore is bad.

Not by a long shot. They still have to play Millenium and yoe Flash Wolves which are two really tough games still. Lose them both and they probably won't qualify.

Big day tomorrow. Acer goes up against Liquid and mYi as well. I really hope Acer has a good day, and not a fucking disaster like the last time they scheduled two matches on the same day.
