That was the most depressing game I've ever watched. It's so demoralising to know that you can kill 8 bases while taking zero damage and still be behind when going into the lategame.

Wait, WHAT? I had to brb. Reynor won that shit? Was it an amove where we vastly underestimated him, or a huge comeback? This just started so it must have gone on for much longer - must have been an epic comeback, right?

Hatcheries are cheap. The drones always lived. He never did that much damage. He was never really ahead. He went into the late game on even footing because he had a good eco, but then he kept making marine marauder instead of ghosts. You don't kill broods without ghosts.

SpeCial was certainly doing well in the early/midgame. But if zerg survives to hive units it's a different story. TY and Maru can manage it, SpeCial can't.


Despite Special attacks, Reynor have always had more workers, until the late game (at one point they were 91-81 workers for Reynor). Economically he's been way ahead in the early game, despite the harrassments. And now he's enjoying that economical lead

Not quite true, they were both on 75-80 workers for a good portion of it, and SpeCial was keeping up on expansions with the zerg. That's generally a good spot for terran.

It's a good spot if you're playing defensive and amassing ghosts. It's not as good if you make marauders against brood lords though.


Thank you

I meant, before the late game and during all the early and mid game Reynor has always been economically ahead, with more workers and despite the harrassment. I just mean that Special didn't deal enough damage with his early attacks, or Reynor just managed to keep his cool and got a better macro anyway.
I used to organize tournaments for ESL Italy and referee Go4SC2s, WCSs, and IEMs for ESL SC2.

I know. That's what I'm saying. That's the depressing part. Killing bases doesn't do anything. Trading better doesn't do anything. Killing drones (which he did, plenty of them) doesn't do anything. Reynor still had a better army AND a better bank, despite taking damage for 20 minutes straight without setting foot on Special's side of the map.

This matchup is fucking disgusting right now.

Watching the mini-map when Reynor bounces back and fourth his ling harass on the third is a thing of beauty.

Game 1 was really overhyped by the casters, but Special didn't ever outplay Reynor who was always high on minerals\gas
Game 2 was just a stomp

Lol, Reynor had a solid worker lead until he hit 80 drones. Just because the terran attacks in several locations doesn't entitle them to the lead. Special did put himself in a spot to win that game though, but he never went above 3-4 ghosts. He kept making marine marauder, so of course he lost to broods. The matchup is fine, the only disgusting thing right now is your bias

Super lategame being (damn near) unbeatable for one race is just as disgusting as it is for the other.
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

See the thing with your logic is, back then it was imbalanced, but now it's not.
