Life tried to be economic you mean...

If by economic you mean super greedy then yeah?

Ehhh a lot of Protosses do the equivalent of "delay ling speed and roach warren" almost every game but zerg building walls don't really work

And sometimes Protoss gets punished for it cf. every Nexus/Gate loss to a <10 Pool. Life took a risk and got punished.


Except we easily see more all-ins from Toss than an all in 10 pool from zerg. Why, because Toss has a variety of all-ins that they can pull out and they have recall, and change plans if they see zerg delayed third, etc.

A zerg commiting to an all-in 10 pool is a stupid gamble, while Toss's all-in gambles are much more effective

so the real question: is Zest going to throw the finals so that Flash has a better chance at Blizzcon?

My thought exactly
The bad thing is we can never be sure zest throw the game or not...this doubt will taint the victory

Only if you show such an incredibly low level of respect towards their integrity. Considering they lived through the first match fixing scandal in Korea, and if affected them the most.. yeah.. he won't throw.
Refer to my post.

You think oracle 7 gate is the equivalent of 10 pool?

My point is that playing greedily gets punished by aggression.

Are people really trying to claim that this isn't/shouldn't be the case?

I think you're making a disingenuous comparison and that pool 3 hatch is no where near the same as nexus first in terms of greed and defend-ability.

I also think that the book of protoss filth encompasses so many early game win builds in comparison to terran and zerg, as well as having the absolute best late game outside of bc raven and swarmhost, and super good turtling ability forces the most boring games imaginable.

Another 5 star game

I like watching greed get punished so yes =P

that's not how the rating system works:

1 star: Particularly bad- really boring, repetitive, or an average stomp.
2 stars: Not good- something we see a lot, average one-sided game, or boring.
3 stars: Decent- good standard game, or something that would be expected.
4 stars: Good- high-level standard game, or sloppy and entertaining, or brutal, one-sided game.
5 stars: Excellent- extremely high level standard game, or something extremely unusual happens, or there's amazing entertainment value in the game.

That last game was 2 stars

"there's amazing entertainment value in the game."

I am amazingly entertained by greedy Zergs getting slapped into oblivion, and the resulting tears from people who don't seem to understand that greed > safe > aggressive > greed.

So 5 stars right..?

=D

Your opinion is totally unbiased and correct and Protoss greed is as easy to punish as any other race. I apologize for ever saying anything I think and giving you the impression of "tears"

I was thinking this too, is this the first time their top 2, or even 2 of their top 3, is the finals? (MKP vs DRG in an MLG maybe?)
