To be honest i can't even tell why TY just rolls over and dies, i truly have not been keeping up with the game.

Can anyone tell? He was presplit, presieged and had an upgrade advantage. The micro from solar didn't seem like anything special either but he still just dies. I don't understand how that can happen.
Forgetting +3 attack was pretty big, it finished right as the fight had ended and would have made a big difference vs. the Ultras. Additionally no +1 attack on the tanks meant that they couldn't 1-shot banelings... there was no meaningful upgrade advantage for TY despite the higher overall resource investment. Solar also focused heavily on units and kept forcing trades, preventing TY from reaching a safe critical mass and making composition adjustments.

he had maybe two tanks, +1 attack would have been a big waste

Which is a big issue tbh, he had a huge spread line but no tanks to make it worth spreading out like that, so his army got piecemealed. His defensive setup was trash in addition to not having the upgrades he needed. 4-5 tanks with +1 and 6 fewer widows mines would have been a way better outcome with his setup.

I disagree, way to much ling bane in that game for tanks to useful

Tanks are great vs. ling/bane/ground, WM is good against airplay.

tanks are good vs ling bane hydra, they are shit vs straight ling bane. This game was already pretty much over before that final push anyways

Tanks are very good against ling/bane in lower numbers. Tanks are not great against 100+ lings.

Dear TL forum members!
I think it's time that we come together as a community and do the right thing for once!
All the terrans are out, there's not one but TWO foreigners in the ro8, so it's safe to say that Chairosaur is on the edge of doing self-harm or strangling a hooker / shooting up a school / something along those lines.

I think it's time that we show that we can make sacrifices when it matters, and forfeit the Serral vs Soo series. Yes, that's right, his mental fortitude surely won’t last if Serral were to sweep the Koreans again, and he will finally snap, and instead of posting passive-aggressive bullshit on this forum, he will hurt someone.
That is why I make a call for action, let's channel all our energies and make Soo win the quarterfinals against Serral!
Let's do it!

They just did the good ol' slo-mo breakdown of the final engagement, which is displaying exactly what I was talking about. Was set up for a tank+choke point defense but didn't have the tanks. You obviously don't want 10+ tanks against mass ling/bane but you need several to snipe down the banes and start working on the Ultras while the MMM(W) boots the lings. Relying on small amounts of WM and Liberators (which the Corruptors were immediately wrecking) wasn't enough to hold against Solar's army flood, and against TY's delayed +3 attack made a pretty big difference in that fight.

Honestly, it's not the first time this happens.
We've had plenty of tournaments with tons of 3-0s in the knockout stages.
first we make expand, then we defense it.

its worth noting that in the last 18 months only one terran has made the finals of a weekender (Maru at wesg 2018).
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

yeah extremely disappointing considering IEM Katowice 2018 and 2017 were probably my 2 favorite tournaments ever.
