interested to see how parting will handle top tier mech play if TY successfully takes a mech build into the midgame. stylistically maru always tries to go all-out on both harassment and defense at the same time, but i don't think TY will be afraid to just play extra-safe and get to where he wants to be, which might be the worst thing for parting to face

I was really wondering why soo was using the 12 pool against parting. As far as i know 12 pool only counters the proxy robo, if you can block the pylons with drones. Otherwise you can wall in before lings arive. Then the Zerg is in big trouble. Or am I wrong?

you can always wall before the lings arrive. if it's scouted the desired scenario of early pool is to face a gate-nexus-core build with a late scout and force a massive probe defense. so you want to delay mining, kills buildings in the wall, or just win outright by destroying pylons

you would never really do that build at pro level if you thought your opponent would expect it

And somehow you can 12 pool your opponent literally every game and he still won't expect it, scout it or prepare for it in any way:

It feels to me like it might be way too easy for TY to have prepared to face Blink stalker/colossus play.
Hope Parting has some curve balls or it might be 1 sided.

I was never really a Parting fan, but he's winning me over. Hopefully he smashes TY with more of that amazing micro.

Also Parting seems to be pushing himself really hard, while TY already has a backup job secured.

Head: PartinG 4-1 TY
Heart: TY 4-1 PartinG

TY has a ridiculous number of builds, prepares extremely well, and has a nearly unreadable playstyle, but it feels like a huge fraction of his losses come from opponents being more rather than less aggressive than he expects. PartinG will almost certainly always play more aggressively than any other P on the planet, so I see a lot of ways in which TY gets caught. His multitask is also often sloppy and his control suffers a bit when he's taxed (compared to e.g. Maru or Cure).

Of course, in my perfect world, TY continually lands damage on PartinG before he can get his blink play together. Or he pulls out some vintage sensor tower defense (lol). But I'm worried for my caster boy

TY is going to smash PartinG, while I liked his play against Maru, Maru himself played very badly (for being Maru). Any other top P could have pulled off a victory if Maru played like that against them. PartinG however cannot pull out a win against TY playing like he did against Maru.

Yep I am thinking the same. As a Hardcore Terran fan, I even prefer a TvP finals rather than a TvT one(forgive my treachery)
Either way this will be interesting.

For game 3, didn't research warp gate, didn't wall off, and only had 2 stalkers when Ty countered.
For game 6, relied on a timing attack and left half his army there sitting idle when the timing attack required all units to attack at the same time.

Also in game 6, this gif shows that PartinG A-moved his army into a bunch of sieged tanks and he wasn't even looking at his army when it moved in (this was missed in the Tastosis cast of the game): https://old.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/gri57j/what_actually_happened_during_ty_vs_parting_game/

one could argue Code S hasn't had a consensus "cheesy" champion in years


I might be getting old, but I can still remember Byun winning a GSL

..unless the "consensus" is that reaper abuse is the hallmark of a macro god

Well 2016 is quite a few years ago in SC2 terms.

Granted I don't think ByuN was cheesier than Maru in his wins.

really??

while nobody could deny that Maru can win late-game, I'm pretty sure less than 1 in 10 Byun wins were even close to late-game

not to mention the one single favorable meta where all Byun's wins happened
