Will be live wtih it tomorrow! 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

Starts 8pm CST/2pm CEST now, match only runs till midnight China time, and any left over matches are played on the 9th.

all kill? hell yeah!! also great picks, seems the best / most recently accomplished players!!
but dang why is it so sudden? don't they want to give at least 1-2 weeks for people to know so they can watch?
|
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 see true, would be interesting to see how the games go before GSL starts!

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.

Wow, thats quite an amazing story to hear.
So, does anybody has Bill Gates hot line, call him saying AoE4 sucks and please put together another 500k prize pool tournament in December for the Christmas holiday?

Yep, it was quite quick and messy.

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 :/

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, 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.

Tbh if either Dark or Solar can beat Serral (not unlikely) Maru could all-kill the rest of team world.

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.

Luckily for serral cures super lategame aint that great.

Oh boy, here comes the Serral sniper.

serral enters full derp mode vs solar again somehow

Solar still has Serral's number.
|
France12883 Posts
Solar just keeps winning against Serral, impressive! I think team KR is favored now especially without Reynor, but MaxPax seems to have Maru number so there is hope. Team world should send Clem asap though

That's bold strategy Colton, let's see if it works out for them.

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

Bisutopia19239 Posts
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.

So is this going to resume today? Anybody know the approximate time?
|
I think it will start in 3hrs or so.

Huh? Wouldn t Dark make way more sense for Team KR vs MaxPax?

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

"Hard time" is maybe even too generous a term so far.

Maru is playing this really bad today.
|
France12883 Posts
Pretty big mistake from team KR to send Maru instead of Dark, but surely they send Dark now, right?
|
horrible match from Maru lol
|
|
Both Hero and Maxpax smashing the new cyclone with early voids, not gonna lie, wasn't the turn i expected from this patch.
|
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.
|
France12883 Posts
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
|
I was a bit worried for Team World after seeing Serral so early but now I'm a bit worried for Team Korea after seeing Maru drowning vs MaxPax. Would not be surprised to see MaxPax soloing the rest
|
Even w/o transfuse, Queen walk is still a valid strat. Even if the protoss player preps, it is not always enough
|
Maxpax putting in work! Respect
|
Bisutopia19239 Posts
Can someone please list all the results so far?
|
France12883 Posts
|
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.
|
Bisutopia19239 Posts
Thanks! This is going to be neck and neck!
|
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.

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
|
with the way Maru played there are plenty of koreans that would've been better choices too lol
|

I would rate Showtime above Astrea but Astra is still a solid choice overall and in the short amount of time. Please stop hating on this and just enjoy

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"

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.

Liquidpedia now says 23rd for the remaining matches?
|
this showmatch kind of lost all his hype by stretching it out that much

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.

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.

Game 5 decides everything.

What a game from Dark in Game 5
|
Dark getting it done, pretty clutch as always...
|
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.

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.
