Problem is, Siege Tanks are shit in late game vs Protoss and Disruptors and Collosus are not. I know TL doesn't want to talk about how obvious it was that they are having issues with EU vs KR but it really is obvious. How much latency does Maru have to lose those Medivacs? Five seconds? | ||

But indeed, looking at this series I would say it was ShoWTimE's server in g1 and g3 and Maru on g2, but either way it's laggy even when it's "your" server since it's probably NA central or NA west Come on, adelscott was playing out of this mind with his mass gateway style, I screamed so much my dog got afraid lol Nestea vs goody was funnier | ||

Which ones, do you really want to go back and cherry pick every moment from the game about where lag was maybe a factor and where it wasn't? Because it was all over the place in every fight. The fact the micro was so outrageously sloppy from both of them makes it incredibly obvious there was a lot of lag. The difference though is that in PvT, it's on the Terran to execute the high APM micro in order to have a chance vs Protoss ground armies. And Maru was taking tons of incremental damage in every engagement that offline he probably wouldn't have. Just one more reason Maru shouldn't have been dragging those games out to late game in the first place though. I don't know why he's being so stubborn in thinking that this is the best way to be playing PvT in this meta. I don't know how much evidence he needs to have to see that it isn't. | ||

Marine Tank is all I can think of. 3 Rax is easily defendable in these important games. | ||

Thorzain even got Thors nerf with that tournament iirc? Yea he did, because Blizzard didn't realize in their own dumb game design that spell damage pierced Hardened Shields. They had specifically designed the Immortal in WoL to hard counter everything that Terran had from the factory, so to see Thors owning them like that was unacceptable. So it was a bandaid fix to make up for their own stupid game design. The Thor was a mess of a unit (still is) that had gone a complete overhaul from its original design and they hadn't figured out all of the details of it by the time Thorzain stumbled on that interaction. | ||

Helion drop/runby, early Single tank push, double cloak banshee might work as well. To be clear, I dont mind the mine drop opening if its being mixed, but Maru has consistently used it forever in TvP so his opponent knew where to set up the Stalker-Oracle before it came over.

Two good things from that: he wont be playing cross-server, and he wont be playing as late. I seriously think he was falling asleep at game 3 or something. Edit: 3rd thing is he wont be playing any Protoss soon other than herO (or Reynor offracing) | ||

We're working with TIME and KaiZi Gaming to go through all the proper channels so he can make it to Utrecht, with Team Liquid covering the travel expenses. If it's unfortunately not possible, we will allow TIME to play online. | ||

Would GSL stop the week the players traveling for TSL? | ||
