Nydus + Roach + Queen against 3 CC. Maru didn't notice Nydus.

Dark quick 4 base, maru early harrass not great, 3 base parade push vs 4th dark, fails, dark wins with ling counter.

It's gonna be herO vs Trap in the finals. =(

if anything it just shows that herO is consistent

in b4 bbyong 3-0


nah. Other way around. It's bbyong's destiny

bbyong is always destined to lose to herO. if he didn't lose abomb in Sao Paulo he woulda lost to herO.

herO vs Dark I'd say.


Yeah, if Dark makes it past the Maru hurdle I think he easily crushes Trap.

herO on the other hand..

You guys Maru got off to a bad start Dark had too good economy like Apollo said, Maru would have no chance of winning by playing safe he had to invest all his minerals in the attack to try to win it. If he build multiple turrets in each mineral line and bunkers for runbies he would have lost to late game macro.


very sound analysis

maru hasn't been playing perfectly, if he can fix things up, he can reverse this

G1: Nydus on Overgrowth. Maru didn't see it even when in vision.

G2: Both players went heavy macro, Maru with some banshee harass. Parade push vs 4 base zerg, Dark sent speedlings to kill off reinforcements and Maru had to back off. That gave Dark time to muta harass vs no turrets and Maru just fell apart, lost last big push ~180 supply to ~130.

Oh look what happens when a Zerg realizes that speedlings are very fast and thus good for counter attacks.

and you know what would happen when a Terran would realize that bunkers are very good and thus good vs counter attacks?

Same could be said for turrets. But anyone knows that it was a calculated decision to invest in a stronger push. If maru build turrets and bunkers, his bio count would be unable to pressure Dark's fourth.

and then turns out he just has good macro, there's bunker at 3rd, turret at each base and bio walking over your 4th


Ah, clearly you know better. Teach me your ways when you win GSL...

I mean, yes, there are options to defend, but they do come at opportunity cost ESPECIALLY versus the greedy 4th/macro hatch timing of Dark combined with the creep spread.

Clearly plogamer knows better how to counter attack with speedlings than all Zerg progamers that supposedly don't do it as often as they should


I agree, Zergs should counter-attack more. I'm saying in this specific game instance, given what happened with the Reaper/Hellion harass, the lack of early stunting of the creep, and the early timing of all that extra Larvae production with the 4th and macro hatch, Maru didn't have the option to invest in defenses, he needed to break Dark and keep the army on his side of the map by force. Especially when you look at his minerals during that push and they're always super low. Even his fourth base was a little later than usual because he made the decision to go so hard at Dark. So, in this situation, I don't believe Maru felt or calculated he could take the time and money to invest in defensive things.

pretty much the same thing could be said about Zerg's not counter attacking as much - if they do counter attack in any meaningful way, they instantly lose if there's a full bunker, maybe a widow mine, and the push at the same time, so you can only do that in low numbers or when the game's going passive, which is what Dark does (or go full Leenock/TRUE and make 60 banelings before making mutas)
