Ez ? That was one mistake, Classic was close to the point he would deflect everything and crush Maru. He barely couldn't reach that point.

umm excuse me u don't beat Maru in TvP ok??? hes the greatest RTS player of all time

LMAO

Because phoenixes are a huge investment. You can't leave that big a chunk of your military spending out of the fights, and when they are used, they get lost eventually. Then the protoss can't rebuild them because at that point every bit of resources you can afford needs to go into AoE to survive the midgame against upgraded MMM.

In any case, it was insane to send out Classic there, giving Maru his best match-up and wasting Classic when he's an almost guaranteed win against any Zerg.

Jin Air has no more Zergs to send out though.

Inb4 he talks about how good maru got since leaving Prime
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

i disagree, he did enough with his pheonix he just didnt see the moveout that killed his third and thats what lost it for classic


He wouldn't have held it if he saw it. SG vs 3CC is a lost cause

yeah, do you ever not balance whine about PvT and "BO wins"?


Yes, when they don't happen for example. Check iaguz' twitter if you want a more "reliable" source telling you the same thing. I heard authority means more than arguments.

What was he gonna hold the third with? The colossi he didn't have out yet? The phoenixes without energy?

warp in and pheonix pick ups with ff and def. could have held it but he had no idea it was coming. theres no way to really know but def. was not a lost cause just because of the opening BO

Proleague only follows this format for the finals. During the general season all matches except for the ace match are predetermined.

I imagine this is because a single player would just be played over and over again giving little field time to other pros.

Weekly matches are fixed player on fixed maps, with Ace Matches.

Round playoffs are "Winner Stays".

Season Playoffs... I think are fixed maps/players, at least the finals are.

If your best player who can deal with a lot of pressure is a Protoss, why would you not at least try?
