Exactly this, I don't really get this LR...


Getting your mineral line slaughtered by two surprise Oracles you had no reason to expect were coming is not playing poorly. Neither is trying to see if the Protoss isn't guarding one droppable part of the base. I don't get why we'd say that Maru was NOT playing well.


You'll excuse me, when I watch someone be quite behind, put units in three medivacs and hope real hard that the other guy messes up with blink stalkers, and then I look at the LR and see comments about masterclass and Patience being completely outplayed and disgraceful, I'm having some trouble with the picture.


1. 4 Medivacs.
2. Behind in workers? Okay, I get that. Every other thing was in favour of Maru - tech, army quality/size, map control, upgrades...
3. If Maru had Observers, and saw the Stalkers were out of position, and immediately jumped in with his drops, we'd say he was doing a good job taking advantage of mistakes. Why is it less of a good job because he performs his 'check if Stalkers are there' on the way in? That's how all the KR Terrans do it: start going for the drop, boost back if you see the Stalkers coming, sometimes Scan if you're hitting multiple locations.


If he wasn't behind that's even worse... I just assumed he was behind cause he made that decision to doom drop. He dropped like two centimeters away from the ramp where the stalkers were, that's a bit different from being stealthy.

herO is going to beat Cure, I feel, and although I think Flash will beat Trap, Trap is going to take at least one map.

Also, passive aggressive NaniRage is lol-worthy.

Sadly swag_bro won't be here to tell us that FlaSh has entered a terrible slump, after telling us that FlaSh was a god at SC2 yesterday.

He already is confirmed as that. Nobody has Maru's number like PartinG does.

Also true. Weird that the soul train man's worst MU is PvZ nowadays <.<

Cleary he mindgamed by doing something insane his opponent would never expect.

PvT has always been his best and soul train allowed him to effectively skip PvZ.

Banning swag_bro was pretty dull choice from the mods. Yes, his points aren't superficially the paramount of posting brilliance, but we all had a pretty good time laughing at him and then some mods needed to poop all over the party becasue of the "rules". We should just push for a Swag_bro Exception. Maybe ask Blizzard?

I have a lot of respect for Patience, but this result is anything but surprising. Jin Air Jin Air Jin Air ! ! Hyped for Flash.
Like Tinkerbelle, I leave behind a sparkly residue.

Not much to say about game 3 though, Patience made mistakes and Maru didn't
