Is it just my computer screen or does the protoss icon beside SKillous look very large?
In any case, I'm thinking Mana and Heromarine and Scarlett and Pilipili advance. Definitely rooting for Scarlett!

Yeah working on fixing that gotta suffer it atm sorry xD

Heromarine #1, Shadown #2
Scarlett #1, Epic #2
I hope Heromarine is in a good form, else he could become 3rd too.
|
So many dark horses in the Group Phase 1....
Guessing Heromarine and Mana (TL bias) as well as Scarlett and Epic

Edit: Does it show with a black background for everyone else?

Wow, Skillous played that really well. Hype? :D
|
Gabe with big dick build in g3
|
wow what did i just tune in for? i haven't even heard of this guy before but he's playing damn well
|
That was a nice Protoss game.
|
That was the worst Protossing I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of Protossings.

I'd argue you haven't if you thing that was anything.

After seeing his harder times last year it was nice to see SKillous play a rather solid series overall considering it's on the bigger stage.

I've never seen one so blatantly ridiculous as that one, on a major stage like this.
1. Forgot Charge and lost a billion zealots for free while a base ahead
2. Expanded while this was happening and defended the push
3. Teched to Colossi
4. Made a 5th base
5. Lost all Colossi
6. Made a 6th base while attacking with more Colossi
7. Against an objectively superior player who did a greedy 3CC build
My God

He played decent like any 6K+ protoss would do, he did a major misstakes that cost him 30 supply and let heromarine, who is the probably the best terran foreigner in this type of game, get away with one of the most greedy build he can play, Tvp midgame is insane no matter who you are and no matter who you play against, hope maru ty and innovation get crushed by inferior protoss player in GSL to make blizzard react, i doubt they can find any nerf to protoss without breaking PvZ and making terran too strong considering that early game and lategame are fine, but one of the two not reachable, hope i underestimate the balance team that will be a rough task to make it decently fair
|
it looks a little rough for terran mid/late but I am excited to see innovation win gsl anyways
|
Lategame is fine if you reach it evenly, the interaction between the newthor/new tempest and BC/carrier make it pretty even , props to the blizzard team on this one

I'm obviously biased, but i feel like its a pack of insanity that we have to deal with, chronoboost is insane, the fact that toss can expand more than a zerg thanks to recall, warpin and battery shield, and if its not enough every tech unit you are gonna add to your army is gonna make your army go from very strong to insanely strong to unbeatable, for example, the addition of disruptor to a colossus army makes it insane, if you want to win a fight vs colossus you need a good concave and non stop shooting from your army, thats how the game works, but also the disruptor force you to split so you can't shoot, nobody is gonna split perfectly right but even if you do so you miss alot of DPS with your army, which makes it even or good for the protoss, + the fact that you can easily run back and save your army from a bad engagement with storm or disruptor, while if you take a bad fight as terran you get blinked on and its pretty much over . TvP early got nerfed but remains totally duable, but as you just witnessed a good blindcounter and you are losing to a way inferior player... so i'm not sure what blizzard should do, but considering how insane protoss army is, i think aiming at his mobility would be a good choice, so maybe a huge recall nerf but it's obviously hard to know if it would be enough/change much

Wasn't ZG suppose to be casting, did she cancel?
Edit: Haha Mana with the Alphastar probe strats

Do you think that pure marine/marauder is viable against colossi/archon/immortal? Then do you think that a LOT of vikings is viable against an army "without" collossi? For me it looks that skillous benefits from his map control. He really had prefect map control and perfect understanding of "what he plays agains", while Heromarine were in dark for the most of the game. This is why Skillous had 5th uncontended, this is why his army mix was always one step ahead of HeroMarine's one. Looked like quite a dumb brute-force from player who is supposed to be better player. But not in this game at all.

When could these players realise you can't kill the stasis unless you could fully surround it with probes.

What's this about Gabe saying he would have retired if he didn't make it out of this group? Anyone have a link to a tweet or whatever is the source?

Good Production and casting all day. Scarlett made it look so easy.

Insane. Expect owned Epic in the first series pretty bad and Epic had several really bad moments today and yet he managed to win the rematch.

It's easy to shit on the guy now, but when he posted this he was just exaggerating but wasn't wrong at the time.

The rematch curse is the strongest curse, maybe even stronger than the curse of Kong.
