ZvZ/PvP semies and PvZ finals just kinda kills off my interest. What will likely happen is Rogue cheesing DRG, Trap fending off Parting's tricky plays, and Trap the new Kong collapsing to Rogue in the finals. I doubt TY has what it takes to go all the way, but TY being in the semies or finals would make for more exciting matches. And Stats has better nerves to withstand the Rogue train. | ||

I'm just assuming Rogue has activated beast mode, and finally awakened out of clown fiesta slump mode. How good is DRG's ZvZ anyway? A genuine question. Since I've not seen much of DRG in major tourneys like TSL or Dreamhack. Edit: Just checked Liquipedia. DRG hasn't played a single ZvZ in this Season 2 of GSL In Season 1, he lost to Impact in RO24. | ||

If he made an ebay literally anywhere on the map with all the SCVs he got out then he can build a turret and wins. | ||

I don't think one stalker can deny an economy when TY has marines, a medivac, and a viking out. 2CCs plus 1/1/1 against a one base protoss, if he ever actually establishes a base there's not much PartinG can really do. | ||

After seeing some of PartinGs TvP recently he absolutely can beat TY in a lategame, in all of these games he just loses too much before getting there. Remember TY opened with a hellion drop off one base on literally every map here. | ||

It seems he prepared a lot for this series. He brought 4 very specific strats to take out TY. Unfortunately, TY did 3 things that, simply by luck honestly, countered what parting was doing, with the hellion drop comping earlier than Parting's strats. Or the Marauder push. TY is a great player, but I can understand Parting being in disbelief in how much he prepared and how fast things went wrong. Let's be honest, he could have won some of those games, in most other circumstances he would have. So I completely understand that he hanged there until the end. It's a shame he lost, but he is still a great player and I wish him luck in his future games. | ||

A lot of it boils down to the terran's skill in macroing behind it, and saving the medivac to pair it up with marines back at home. | ||

But he probably knew Parting had some sharp timing builds prepared, so TY's overall strategy was to be aggressive, seize the initiative from the start, and not let Parting get into any rhythm. Going aggro against Parting is probably a risk that can go horribly wrong. But it's probably unfair to say TY got lucky? | ||

Yea, it's always tough to see the old veteran pro gamer try to win that last tournament. Boxer and Nada both tried in SC2, but neither managed to win a premier. That's why MMA's title at Homestory Cup was so special, because he was one of the few players who got to retire on top. I always have a soft spot in my heart for those veterans giving it their all | ||

Like you can't say it was all luck, he definitely prepared very hard for Parting too. It's just that it seems looking the type of builds they both did, TY one were very effective agaisnt everything Parting did, and a lot of it was circumstantial. That's not to take away credit from him though. He probably would have won anyway, particularly in the final game he looked great and very precise. | ||

Parting is the most offensive Protoss on the planet. He can usually mechanically outmuscle patch Terrans with overrated micro like Maru, and stubborn players like Innovation. But TY has brains and mechanics to back it up. If TY did that stuff to someone like stats or trap it would be bad news (but TY would probably know not to do it against them) | ||

Otherwise, TY was pretty much solid and in control that series - just like this series. Sure, Parting prepared and played his heart out. But TY doesn't seem to get as much credit for his preparation and mental fortitude as well. | ||

Let’s hope that the ro4 gives us more interesting matches than this ZvZ gonna be hella quick. DRG will lose to his own speedling all in, win a ravager mirror, lose to swarmhosts, win a speedling all in, lose to drone ling push TY v Stats will be an average 4-2 | ||

There's no other explanation how someone with average mechanics can be so good. | ||

It seems bad but Stats PvT is at about the same level as his PvP right now based on his online results and that's against players like Inno, Dream and Cure so I have a little faith. | ||

I wouldn't mind a consecutive TY title but Stats winning it all before military service would just be the best thing ever. Too bad they don' t meet in the finals and there is a Rogue in the way.. Yeah this Ro4 is going to hurt either way. I guess all we can hope for is a great series at least. And that the winner takes down the evil patchzerg in the grand finals. | ||

Average mechanics compared to who exactly? He’s not wily old Mvp with barely functioning wrists relying on his guile and wits, he’s very good at planning but still really solid mechanically. Sadly underwhelming Ro8 for exciting, pulsating matches. Although Stats put on an absolute PvP clinic against a Trap who wasn’t even playing too badly, so for things to learn from I guess us Protoss at least got something to mull over. | ||

Isn’t Maru’s thing to win tournaments when his Terran peers are doing relatively badly anyway? As in the opposite of a patch Terran? :S Granted, while he’s no slouch in TvT I think this is at least in part because when the race falls off he’s less likely to get sniped in the mirror as well. | ||

I mean it’s a nice narrative angle I guess but he’s had soO filling in when he makes his deep runs. Provided one has decent communication skills surely any truly elite S class player could juggle a bit of casting here and there? If anything it’s probably mentally liberating to not be grinding the game quite so hard. Just seems a bit overblown really, to me anyway. It’s not like he’s a part time player these days or anything. | ||

It’s not like he’s a part time player these days or anything. yea it is a bit weird to make such a big deal about him casting for like 8 hours a week (he only casts SC2 and not BW, right?), that's nowhere near a fulltime job, that's not even a lot for a hobby even 8 hours is probably overestimating, because he'd watch a lot of these games anyways to learn about his opponents | ||
