Can someone who watched the game explain how Harstem didn't have enough for the 3 rax... I missed the beginning, did he open standard 1 gate gas Nexus or did he do some fancy Nexus first ?


He opened standard. Not sure exactly where he went wrong. Wasn't fast enough at stopping the bunkers I guess.

Not really. G2 was somewhat entertaining only because it was a base race but MLord was still pretty far ahead. MLord just out classed him.

Can anyone do tl;dw on Harstem vs Masa?

g1 : Harstem won, didn't see that one. Apparently a 2 base tank push failed badly.
g2 : this time the 2 base tank push does some damage (along with some liberator harass) to the quick 3 bases of Harstem. MaSa is behind most of the time but Harstem takes one dreadful engage and loses.
g3 : long macro game, harass in the beginning (WP adept for Harstem, widow mines for MaSa) does a lot of damage on both sides but it turns out far better for MaSa after two huge shots (18 probes killed in total). It goes on forever (blink adept templar vs liberators ghosts bio) and once range for libs is done Harstem has no answer (really late stargates).
g4 : 1 base 3 rax not even proxied won the game, can't believe this worked.

Fun fact
The power rank and the opinion polls have predicted every match the exact same, for a record of 6-4
Doesn't that make a good power rank, if it follows the general consensus and every lower rating player beating a higher rating player coincides with an upset?

Power ranks are subjective anyways so the order is not that important as long as the writing is good.
Order wise the only real "mistake" was that Drogo looked lost in quite a lot of matches recently, putting him above Polt or MLorD was riskier than putting Nerchio at #1.

Didn't see game one but game two and three were both macro games into ranged liberators and pushing until Harstem GG'd. Game four was a proxy marine rush that harstem scouted but bunkers were able to take out the expansion until harstem did a push with a few immortals and stalkers and just lost because of the gold expand from Masa.

Stop trying to argue with reason against our overwhelming need to constantly pick a beef against the harmless writeups that a group of enthusiastic people provide free of charge

If it's 2rax proxy hard to scout, it's one of the best TvP cheeses that could work after the pylon / adept nerfs
