In this case you're both dumb: Skela wrote an incomprehensible post that in no way could be interpreted in saying that flaf has a better chance of winning against g5 than against cloud. MaGic~PhiL, it is not Nony's fault that he misunderstood SkelA. It if SkelA's fault for not having a good grasp of the English language. Calling him dumb for that is... dumb.

Yea english is not my first language you calling me dumb because of that? Let me see you understand my native language then eh.. I asure you wont understand a word does this makes you a retard then ?

Its obvious that i ment that G5 has lower chances of wining FLaf than Cloud.... Last few matches i saw Flaf wining both White-ra and Infernal which i consider them 2 of the best pvz on the nonkorean scene .

Despite me being noob (10 years of bw) i have to say that G5 played badly with good micro and timing and Cloud played even worse. Didn't adapt to what G5 was doing and had awful positioning + micro.

I would argue that timing had almost nothing to do with G5's win. Actually, let's go with nothing. I will argue it had actually nothing to do with the win. Where's G5 to comment?


While I don't agree with some peoples conception here that G5 was simply lucky that Cloud was playing bad (Which is kind of ridiculous), I don't see how one could argue that timing had nothing to do with G5's win. Here is a quote from the OP interview with G5:

"I cut probes throughout the game strategically to ensure that I would win the first decisive battle, whether it be him attacking me or me attacking him. Time passed long enough that I had to engage or I would lose due to his probe count."

Unless I am not quite understanding what you mean by timing, it seems clear that G5 knew that he must attack at that time or lose the game [much like any timing attack, wait too long and it loses it's effectiveness].


Just because you use the word time, it's not timing. G5 crossed the bridge and Cloud ran into him. There's no timing there. Unless G5 specifically built that army for that moment, in which case I apologize, but I'm very confident he didn't and just decided it was time to move out.



his moveout timing was when his zeal speed finished

wow, motbob, chill out dude, no need to call people dumb. I perfectly understood what skela meant, i mean its not like he wrote something very difficult to understand. whether he`s right or not is another question.

regarding the games, I`m so sad that cloud lost and I hope that he really sticks around in the scene.

exactly, theres no timing involved unless g5 had a maphack to check out how much of cloud's storm upgrade was done in order to attack him.. he just happened to attack cloud when his storm tech wasnt done, when he started exping and while he had 4 goons out of position at his 2nd exp

its hard to have any type of timing in a pvp when the game turns into a macro game, especially on desti where probe cutting is pretty much useless (pvp timing/probe cuts are more important when the game is still 1base vs 1base and when u go for b.o's like a 1gate robo/exp/reav etc..)

I shouldn't have bolded that sentence, it makes what I was trying to say confusing. What I mean was that G5 stated that he was cutting probes to gain an army advantage over Cloud. That advantage doesn't last for the whole game, there is a timing in which that cut will benefit G5 and allow him more units, however after that certain point, he would lose the advantage. G5 stated that he realized this timing was coming to a close, and that he attacked because of this.

IDK if that's considered timing by everyone, I would consider it so. It's much like any timing attack IMO, you are doing some build that will allow a window of opportunity in which you have the advantage, if you don't attack during that period, you will lose your advantage and gain a disadvantage. I suppose what's the debated is whether you would consider timing attacking at a very specific moment, and whether you would also considering timing to be a period of time in which the persons actions will give them the advantage.

Why keep discussing this when its over and done? Cloud lost anyways. pity for him that he lost and trained that much as he did. But now G5 won and went to the next round, cheer for him and just go on living. Just enjoy these TSL matchs like everyone else.

as motbob pointed out, that isnt what skela wrote. i just read and responded to what he wrote. and why do you always have this disbelief? seriously? did you even watch the replay? what a stupid response is this of yours? give us a break.

in skela's sentence, if you replace "good" with "better" then it would make sense. huge difference in meaning between those two and there's never any instance where one can mean the other. so i dont see how it's so easy to understand. but if you read skela's post history, you'd familiarize yourself with his habit of writing nonsense. so you wouldnt think "oh he accidentally didnt use a comparative" but rather "where are some pins so i can gouge out my eyes"

Yay Drama! Gotta love the italianos. They get pissed off so easily. Carlo is no exception, however good he is at SCBW. Anyways, I can understand both sides of the argument. Cloud is extremely disappointed that he lost to something he could've easily beaten had he made better choices, though he must accept, it's his fault, not G5's.

well, macedonian and bulgarian languages are the same, so I guess thats why, the way he worded that sentence makes perfect sense to me. but nevertheless i still think its pretty clear what skela meant : cloud pvz > g5 pvz => flaf`s z has better chances against g5, rather than cloud.

But, after all its not that important, I feel dumb for arguing about this ^^

gl tomorrow nony, i`m rooting for you.

Well, then I had too high expectations I guess. This was terrible play by Cloud. It seems he just focused 100% on macro and didn't even watch the battles. He never even stormed many templars even though he had tons of energy and storm, annoyed me a lot. Felt like he surrendered before the game was over.

As for G5's play, well, I guess it was the perfect counter to Cloud's type of play - not giving him time. Still remains to see how good he is.

I think its more indicative of the pressure of the moment rather than just lack of ability, obviously Cloud doesn't usually forget storm in practice or something.
