I like how Snute rushes hive every game and in the process gives up the economy to build hive tech units.

It is rather amusing that Juanito is beating Snute just on pure macro and mechanics. He hasnt controlled his army well at all basically this entire series, but he's still winning.

Though he's getting ahead in economy through his strategies and denying bases, not mechanics.

I dont like Special at all but this mech play is really amazing to watch! :-)

I'm actually finding it rather inspiring.

Whenever I come back from breaks from SC2 I find that my micro is ass but I can just outmacro my opponents.

I have this negative and false idea that Terran is the wrong race to do that with, but this series is proving me wrong. You CAN totally beat inferior opponents with just pure macro with the race.

In Starcraft, denying bases otherwise known as "map control" is such a basic strategy to the game, that i put it under the umbrella of "mechanics."

I don't think this was really a bad performance by Snute, rather this map needs some slight adjustments to make the 3rd defendable against liberators, because this looked about as balanced as the LT cliff.
Still, I don't blame SpeCial for choosing a strategy that works well for the map, very well played.

Special is so good with his preparation and macro. If he can improve his control we might actually have a foreign Terran monster on the level of Neeb. He's getting there, but so far he hasn't surpassed even Liquid Bunny's results

Snute has like 0 map control, Special mecha army goes to his b5 and he did not even notice it before the attack of the siege tank despite a xel naga next to him...
And soooo many sneaky expo.

He's always imitated the top koreans. But TY seems to be where he gets most his influence. He even said last year that TY was coaching him when he was in korea
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

I really would like to see Snute add in a couple infestors vs bio and nydus zerglings vs mech.
