Gotta say that is the best game I've ever seen. Not whining about balance but it seemed idra had to play so well to deal with the ever growing terran presance in the middle of the map, and deal with all the drop play. It's just intimidiating to think you have to play like that to beat a strong macro terran. I understand MVP played extremely well too.
Any prespective from a terran on the more demanding aspects of what MVP was called on to perform? Splitting marines in the top right corner seemed impressive, dropship micro seemed strong, overall just good decision making by MVP. Also seemed like some signifigant mistakes made though losing so many tanks/dropships to the early muta ball.
I disagree with Idra getting lucky MVP didn't push up the ramp with his timing attack, I think mostly he wanted to force IDRA to make some units, delay his 3rd or snipe his 3rd. Also in general I don't think most progamers just blind a-move during a strong timing attack period. Even if he scouted the ramp would he still want to go? It's a big toss of the dice to just gamble that Idra just spend a round of larvae on drones and didn't have a group of 10+ lings morphed into banes in response to MVP moving out.

you missed the best part with idra fungaling the marines..

Thanks for the cast Artosis. I think it loses some excitement from the live stream because IdrA was so far ahead in bases, but you couldn't really tell from his PoV.

Might be practicing not doing that though with the new map pool being used in the next gsl. Good game though mvp seemed real passive throughout I felt but thats probably because he was fighting from behind the majority of the game. he couldn't coz idra already destroy his back door rocks and have an overlord to see if mvp is gonna do that Do you even listen to the cast? Artosis even emphasize that, destroying rocks will prevent Mvp to assume a defensive position

Im not really excited about this, even without watching its quite obvious IdrA wins this match since its a replay coming from IdrA himself...
|
hmm just watched the game. wasn't very impressive, quite one-sided actually. seems like it's only good because idra beat one of the best players in the world.

Maybe someone said it already, but MVP probably didn't move up the ramp because he didn't see a third; so I guess the assumption was that Idra had been gearing up to defend.
Had he scanned a little further up the ramp he would've saw a few spines and maybe even the baneling nest that wasn't finished building. With that many marines and no banelings the game would've ended immediately. Lucky us

Amazing play by both sides and definitely worth the watch, only wish i could have seen it live from idras POV!
Im really not understanding all the complaining though, its a good long macro game that everyone whines and moans that we never get to see, then a good showing is posted by two great players and its picked apart as subpar and not good enough. Guess people will never be pleased

MVP getting prepared for the bigger maps

He was actually telling a korean that messaged him afterwords that he got very lucky in the win and then he was very friendly with the chat from his j.tv chat.
It was actually one of the few times a korean has said "Hi" to him and he didn't respond "Fuck off" or "Fuck you faggit" lol.

He has a live stream, which he provides, for everyone to see; both his wins and losses. So no, you don't get to make drive by snide comments about someone, especially when you're wrong.

good game and all but there was alot of dumb mistakes that you dont even see in GSL. coming from a skill standpoint, this is lacking. great game other than that.
|
I get caught up in the Tastosis jokes and sometimes forget how good of a caster Artosis is. Thanks Artosis keep up the good work!
IdrA fighting!~

Insane harrassment. Define harrassment, both players did.

Yup I say gg every game therefore I'm the best player in the world.
