Ro32 Group C Recap

sOs and Dear advance to the Ro16

by Waxangel

(P)JangBi's sudden retirement cut group C down to three players, with (P)Woongjin_sOs being fortunate enough to receive a walkover win against JangBi in his first match. Though sOs later claimed to not have played StarCraft 2 for nearly three weeks in the post-Proleague break period, it didn't stop him from advancing to the Ro16 in record time with a quick 2 - 0 over (P)STX_Dear, who had defeated (T)Azubu.SuperNova in their initial match. sOs was full of clever trickery as always, bringing out a rarely seen double offensive gas rush in game one, while using a DT rush to secure victory in game two.

Ro32 - Group C
1.(P)Woongjin_sOs2 - 0
2.(P)STX_Dear2 - 1
3.(T)Azubu.SuperNova1 - 2
4.(P)JangBi*0 - 2

Jangbi retired and forfeited his games.

(P)sOs and (P)Dear advance to WCS KR GSL Ro16!


With sOs through in first place, that left (T)SuperNova and (P)Dear to battle it out for second place in the final match of the night. Though SuperNoVa looked to get revenge in the rematch after losing their initial series in a one-sided 0 - 2, he only ended up suffering the same fate. He didn't seem to have an answer for storms as Dear successfully went two base templars in game one, and a series of crushing defeats in engagements forced him to GG out.

A game away from losing his chance of advancing to Code S, SuperNoVa decided to go for an unusual build on new map Polar Night by attempting a proxy factory and low-ground siege into the Protoss natural. Unfortunately, his tactic was almost perfectly countered by Dear's decision to also play slightly off-kilter, with the four phoenixes from a stargate opener easily nullifying the siege tank threat. The game played out fairly normally from there despite the failure of SuperNoVa's early gambit, but it was little consolation as he still could not find any answer to Dear's templar-based armies. After a series of disastrous engagements, SuperNoVa was forced to GG out and surrender the Ro16 spot to Dear.

Shouldn't it be group C in title?

In the last game Dear survived just because of the Nexus cannon. This spell is the equivalent of 3-4 bunkers...

No. It's better than a bunker, but no way in hell does it come anywhere close to the combined damage output of 3/4 bunkers (assuming you actually have units in them). The Nexus Cannon's greatest advantage is its range, which does feel ridiculous at times, I agree.

sOs always mindfucks me :D some funny matches
Disappointing from SuperNova though.
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

It's worth mentioning that SN is severely behind after that not-too-wise tank assault on the nat. Then he suddenly runs a troop in and almost takes the game with bio's terrible terrible damage.
Now you tell me whats the equivalent of that?

?? He wasn't behind at all; quite on the contrary, Dear had tech to deal with his Medivac push and would have lost had SuperNova insisted a bit (he could have dropped his troops in the main, etc.).

Protoss seems quite strong right now. I wonder why no toss-player is able to grab one of those big trophies...

Yes it is. It has the range and the hp. When you attack 4 bunkers not all of them will be on range to fire so the dps will be lower especially if they are attacked with ranged units. It's definitely worth 3 bunkers if not 4.
Game Over, Man! Game Over!

The equivalent is the Nexus cannon which can hold off 20 supply of bio Medicac army and Protoss can safely tech to whatever they want WHILE upgrading

Does it piss anybody else the fuck off when people say "but look at this really strong thing x race can do!!!" Yeah no shit nexus cannon is really strong, just like bio is really strong, or how mutas are really strong, or how fucking EVERYTHING IS REALLY STRONG

This game is asym, that's what makes it so beautiful....


Oh also now taking bets on how hard every other azubu player's going to tank
Both symbol and sn have looked so sick in the last couple kr seasons... guess stuffs not going so well...
