Just cheese your opponent every game. Like that Starcraft gets divided into nice manageable 5 minute chunks.

Even though his results improved after his (2017?) slump, his actual play hasn't really impressed me, other than his very nice builds. yeah except for the start of 2016 I don't think he has ever been nearly as well rounded as he used to be back in like 2014

What's going on with the sound? Are we getting the sound from some other observer that's in the game?
edit: yeah the sound definitely matches in game stuff but not always on camera stuff. Or is the timing just off?

Zest would be up there for me, probably below herO in winning games with ballsy decision making that even as a viewer with all the information shouldn’t work. Keeps the game fun! So pumped for this TvT too
man i miss hero....

I think he has done so well because he doesnt hesitate.
in a game as fast as SC2 hesitating, or lack thereof, is an underrated aspect.
Zest is just nuts in that regard. he never seems to get tilted, and he never hesitates

lmao the vikings were in his vision wtf?

Damn that was really messy by Maru.

da fuck is this mary guy doing ?

I'm kinda puzzled that INnoVation loses 13 workers early on, falls behind in workers considerably as a result, and then just goes toe to toe with Maru in a nice macro game. Surely being a dozen workers behind has some sort of effect?

INno with the brute force

Tasteless knowledge of the game is abhorrent

His absurdly fast 3CC off 1rax had something to do with it. Maru killing 19 scvs just evened things up into a regular macro game.

Is the depot into CC on the high ground a common thing in TvT now or is this just a GSL mind game thing. I was kinda surprised when Inno did that game 1.

Maru was up something like 49 workers to 38 right after the hellion drop went through though. Even considering that INno had some other compensation he should've still been behind.
