(Wiki)World Team League/2023/Winter/Show Matches/1


The other post: https://tl.net/forum/starcraft-2/616985-10000-cao-shuai-cup-korea-vs-world

So team owner of DKZ stormed into SCboy's office and suggested a $10,000 team match of these players:

Team Korea: (T)Maru (Z)Dark (P)herO (T)Cure (Z)Solar
Team World: (T)Oliveira (Z)Serral (Z)Reynor (T)Clem (P)MaxPax

And it happened. All kill format, $10,000, winner takes all, sounds good? Cool.

Begins Thursday, Oct 05 12:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00)

You can probably find the match on the usual WTL Twitch channels.

KOF format = all kill, it's how the Chinese community call that format, since it's the same as the King of Fighters games (3v3 team fighter, character that wins stays until knocked out).

Old patch the world team was the huge favorite in the all kill format, but I can see KR take it on the new patch since stuff isn’t figured out yet! Exciting

I think they want to kick-start the new patch and map pool, maybe letting people know balance and interesting the matches are with these new change, especially the Cyclone.

Probably wouldn't have held the same interest for the DKZ owners, if the line about the event being organized at the 11th hour is more or less true.
I'm just a cynical video game enjoyer who is probably unfazed by many business dealings many would find utterly distasteful, while not strictly illegal by the law as seen in a general sense in the world.

The Sep.29 is the Mid-Autumn day and the Oct.1 is the chinese national day,they have a 8 days holiday from Sep.29 to Oct.6 .

Two days ago,the sponsor ,who is also a friend of Xiaose ,came to scboy’s office and told them he is too boring during the holiday,so he wants to watch another game besides WTL.

No idea what BGH is, but apparently KR lost and had to show hand first. Sending Cure is smart, but World directly sent the player who could all-kill KR on the previous patch. Will he do it on the new patch as well?

BGH = BigGameHunter. The probably most played custom map for 4v4 / FFA since vanilla Starcraft?
EDIT: Even has its own wiki lol https://starcraft.fandom.com/wiki/Big_Game_Hunters

Kind of anticlimactic if Serral allkills now :/

Oh thought it was an arcade map.

Wow, seems like timing pushes have a chance to work on this new patch, seems good so far even though they will probably be figured out in a few weeks

Haha. Ling Bane loses at equal supply loses against no tanks or mines on creep.

Yes, he split his army but come on, that would have been obliterated on the last patch. Wasn't even that committed of a timing push.

I mean at this point people are so accustomed to zerg being able to hold everything and Serral beating the best terrans in the world 12-1 or so that him losing a single map to a top 2 terran makes the new patch instantly super T favored

what? it was 8 rack3 base and he didnt even try to defend the counter it was a hard commit and zerg now just cant counter with like 30 supply while holding it.

I mean, it wasn't like he killed Cure on the other side of the map. Even if he trades that army, he barely had tech, was behind an upgrade, and was close to equal on workers. Not an awful position.

he killed 22 workers, if he held that push at his 4th he would have been very far ahead and basically winning but you cannot just counter with so much supply now vs a full terran army.

You do realize that ZvT (which was never an issue below the top 10 players, and even then it's debatable) is infinitely harder for Zergs on the ladder now, right? The baneling nerfs, Cyclone buffs--all of that makes getting into the mid-game in a good position economically with good creep exponentially harder. Granted, ghosts were nerfed, but it's not like you're spamming Serral v Maru endgames against normal humans.

So sure, if you think that the greatest, or top 3 greatest players of all-time at a historic level of dominance struggling to close out games where he's been in clear positions of strength doesn't translate to something else for mere mortals, whatever. Good patch for you.

I think team KR is favored now especially without Reynor, but MaxPax seems to have Maru number so there is hope.

Theoretically yes, but herO 3-0d him very recently and it was as "not close" as the scoreline suggests https://tl.net/forum/starcraft-2/616910-esl-open-195-hero-maxpax-clem-win

They should send Clem imho, and keep MaxPax until team KR sends Maru

There's a nice advantage to this break for Solar. An extra series would have been exhausting. The series lengths ended up in his favor thanks to Cure.

Sending out your best player when there is no revival rule is just not a very good tactic. Or maybe KR team force the World team hand by sending out Cure out first.

Oliveira would have been the best first pick for team World imo, he's done decently against Cure recently and also has a fighting chance of beating Solar/herO. Of course KR was going to snipe Serral with Solar or Dark.

Maru probably wants to go to bed early, either he clean up the World Team, or hes done for the night.

I just saw glimpses of that first game, but that somehow looked easy for MaxPax. Was it really that onesided?

herO lost 0-2 to Harstem yesterday, he has a better shot vs Clem imo.
Dark is the best bet versus MaxPax as he has beaten the protoss recently iirc, whereas Maru lost several series to MaxPax

It’s not just about watching Maru, even playing the cyclones in game is sufficient to realize they are not very good

Maru microed like trash in that last game, I feel like he cant control the army at all and MaxPax just need to keep shooting ball and wait for him to make mistake. And while the other top Terrans (Byun and Cure) are prefer to do pure Bio push with better mobility, Maru still tryign to push with Tanks in mid-game and get destroyed every single time because they are slow and countered by Robo units or Phoenix.

Finally sending out Dark! His mission is mainly to take out MaxPax because herO has a very low chance of doing it.
Beating Clem and/or Oliveira would be a nice bonus, but herO should be favored against the terrans in case Dark can't beat them

Even w/o transfuse, Queen walk is still a valid strat. Even if the protoss player preps, it is not always enough

If Dark would ve lost vs MaxPax there, it would be allready Game over for Team KR.
Now I would consider them slightly favoured against the remaining Terrans.

If Clem is sent first, I favour Korean. If Oliveira, then World.

For me it all comes down to defensive discipline. In that aspect, trusting the latter more than the former.

I mean since Reynor was not available there weren’t many foreigners better than Astrea to choose from.
HeroMarine is better offline but he doesn’t like cross server so his results are usually quite poor there. ShoWTimE is not necessarily better than Astrea these days. Other than these two I see no obvious pick

Bluntly put, a total Map score of 1-7 inside 24 hours is pretty bad look for somebody of Maru's calibre. And while I was hoping it would not happen, recent match history looked unfavourable too.

Who's a non Korean that's better than Astrea who's not already in this? Besides Reynor obviously since he forfeited. Maybe showtime and heromarine by a little? Astrea is definitely a top 8 non Korean at this point.

Entertainment value of Astrea ? Top 4 at least, if not the best. Strictly by maps played or lost (not considering the tier of the tournaments played), he's only the 12th non-Korean with either Skillous in front of him or even Strange not that far behind.

If he performs well in Code S, I might revise my opinion. Until then, I'll keep it at that.

Astrea is #12 non-Korean on Alligulac:
1 Serral
2 Clem
3 MaxPax
4 Reynor
5 Heromarine
6 Oliveira
7 Showtime
8 Lambo
9 Elazer
10 Spirit
11 Skillous
12 Astrea
There would have been plenty of options, but I would gues the organisers were also looking at representation of races and regions

Prioritizing best expected level above ensuring regional representing, I do not see what is wrong there. If anything, the prize "split" is the bigger problem. If the losers had a share of it, then it would be less of a factor. Winner takes all ? Stack the deck.

I don't think regional representation was a thing. After all, Astrea filled in for Reynor, so NA was without representation from the start.
I just think they probably asked 2-3 people on short notice after Reynor couldn't participate and Astrea was the first top pro that said "yes let's do it"

Plus Astrea is in Korea afaik (he has qualified for code S) so he can play without ping which is a huge advantage.
It's not like there was another foreign player who had a good shot at beating a player from team KR cross server
Even offline, ShoWTimE and HeroMarine (who are the only two players with a real gap in terms of aligulac rating compared to Astrea, Spirit, Elazer, Lambo are closer within Astrea range) are not favored in bo5 vs players from team KR.

But he'd have by far the best possible chance against herO. PvP is volatile enough that any top 10 protoss has at least a 25% chance against any other. Imo they should have put him there.

Yeah, the organization sucks a bit, they should let each player has 3-5 lives, and having the life taken our by losing a Bo1, and they can rotate players in and out as they like as long as they can be alive.
The full Bo5 format in 5v5 team just dragged on too long.

Yeah i think it'd be cooler if each player had 3 lives like Smash Bros crew battles. It's a bit extreme to have Bo5s if 1 player is better than the rest, you could just all lose to them.

It was organized on a day's notice litterally-speaking, but for me it is a secondary concern given that in practice, this is 1111 to 2000 dollars per bo5.
I'm just a cynical video game enjoyer who is probably unfazed by many business dealings many would find utterly distasteful, while not strictly illegal by the law as seen in a general sense in the world.

No idea what BGH is, but apparently KR lost and had to show hand first. Sending Cure is smart, but World directly sent the player who could all-kill KR on the previous patch. Will he do it on the new patch as well?

They had a 4v4 game on the big game hunters map, it's a funny huge map with like 10 gold patches every base etc.

If Dark beat Clem, then him and Solar carried the KR team to victory and should split the prize only between them.

Dark just knew what Clem was thinking at the moment. Everything has been prepared.

Dark just play too well when hes not getting hit by some strong timing for all-in. The GSL is for him to lose imo.

Congratulations Dark, what a comeback!
Ultimately, the best zergs prevailed. Reynor not being able to play (but maybe he would have been able to play today...) hurt team world a lot.

Zerg won 5 non mirror matches, protoss won 2, terran 0.

Dark hustled clem, donated the kid two maps and won anyway

Game 5 was so wack, Clem went 3 CC off one marine into a completely disguised mass cyclone push, but I guess that basically any amount of lings kills that push? It does seem like mass cyclone doesn't do as well vs most mixtures of roach ling queen as we thought before the patch hit. Though I wonder if Clem waited for like 6 hellions and blue flame, whether the game would have been fixed

Then Dark had that crazy cool BL + nydus siege, but he miscontrolled his queens which walked halfway around off creep (I think) so he lost the sky battle to the vikings and lost 5 broods as a result

But Clem just had no win condition after the cyclone push failed. Radhusset seems pretty hard to play as Mech since you don't have map control to split the map effectively, and with so many bases along the center of the map, it's pretty bad if you fail to split the map evenly.
Jung Yoon Jong fighting, even after retirement! Feel better soon.

That ambush Clem did with the Cyclones was cool, but otherwise these units are trash. They are indeed easily countered by a bunch of lings.
