i wonder if well ever start seeing 1/1 roach pushes to do damage/force tanks and bunkers into full on ling/bane/muta switch. i know its not optimal but it feels like zerg needs to figure something out other than "yolo roach into yolo hydra into yolo viper into hopefully gg". maybe its the pig/snute swarm host style, idk.
HyuN has been doing this for a while, not very succesful tho.

I know Taeja is a great player, but idk... He's just... no identity, no charisma, no trademark style... He just plays and win.
That's why I will never be a fan of Taeja. His trademark style is extending the game and exploiting his weaknesses. He's water. All these nerds take out their swords, their hammers, their guns and try to strike water. But you can't beat water. It just consumes you. He's good mechanics, granted. But at least to me, he's no water whatsoever. He just plays standard, with flawless control, and incredible macro, for sure. But he lacks... flavour perhaps? Identity? idk, but there is something... tasteless about taeja. e Water is standard as fuck. The second any violet clash ends,it goes back to its normal state. It only changes when its forced to. Examples: Taeja vs Innovation Taeja vs Zest g3 yesterday Taeja vs Yonghwa Taeja vs Seed What do all these 4 games have in common? When Taeja was forced to excel, when he was fighting the best in the world during their primes, he dragged them all to hell. He forced them into positions where it wasn't micro or macro or mechanics that won him the game. It was his better decision making, his better defense, his better game sense. What's with the water comparisons, have you been reading The Art of War? Watching Avatar, more likely I don't remember that being mentioned there, but I'm going to assume you're right. You're probably right it's the more likely reason too. Show nested quote +On August 31 2014 04:05 stuchiu wrote:
Huh, no I was just drinking some water. Oh, so you come up with all this cleverness with the same technique Koreans come up with their nicknames?
Well I read and watch a lot of things so I can just recall things. Like that water reference was from Art of War, ATLA, and Bruce Lee.

That was a really great game though. Was worried for TaeJa at the beginning.

So... Violet just really wants to take the middle base instead of 7 O'clock and ends up costing him the game
It makes some amount of sense, considering the composition he had.

What's with the water comparisons, have you been reading The Art of War? Watching Avatar, more likely Fricken love avatar. Easily my favorite cartoon of all time. Mostly TLA, but season 3 of LoK was good too. In other news, I am so stoked with the way these brackets turne out. Gonna be a good finals any way I see it. Especially rooting for KT Bowl (get hype!)
Haven't had time to watch LoK yet, been busy gobbling down all of the One Piece manga and watching the anime. LoK is probably next though, I keep hearing great things about it

Aw violet.
I always wonder what the point of building broodlings is. They're so ineffective.
brood lords? theyre good if terran is turtling and you have a better economy, or if you went ultra/infestor and no one died

I don't even know who to cheer for in the TaeJa vs Flash/Snute match... I guess not TaeJa since I'd love to see the other two at Blizzcon.

If one guy stops macroing it gets rather obvious & boring who will win. Guess Violet was to tired to play on.
