I can sort of understand ClouD writing that bm post earlier since he did play bad and got eliminated from a 23k tourney.   G5 <3If you mean what I'm thinkin about then I saw it more as a Cloud loading up the shuttle at a perfectly wrong time | ||

simply put g5 got lucky in the first game(luck is a part of bw, his b.o woulda failed if cloud upped storm faster or defended the bridges.. there was no timing involved in this game at all) and outplayed cloud in the 2nd game(this and cloud's poor decision making) | ||

but game 2 was so bad, 1a2a3a without any positioning, running in g5's well spread army backho style. g5 was clearly better | ||

Perhaps a bad choice of words to call it stupid/simple. But I still regard it a weak build on desti because of the things you mentioned in your last post. Additionally, the manouverability shuttles give you on desti makes any sort of contain hard to pull off without the game turning chaotic on you, having to fraction your army into too many pieces and eventually getting rolled. Sacrificing tech early for a huge mass of units really limits your choices and that's why you wouldn't see bisu doing G5's build (meaning starting to cut probes THAT early and waiting THAT late to attack). I don't really disagree with you though. Except for calling G5's (or "bisu's") strat a counter. It's a timing bust depending on the opponent being overly aggressive or the opponent being sloppy. It's a build 100% designed to wipe out the opponents army on a map where it, if your opponent caught on to your strat, should be hard to pull off. By the time G5 decided to attack, I wouldn really call that a "timing for contain". Cloud had virtually caught up in unit count. He was safe to stroll around on his side -- had he only controlled the bridges or kept his army together. By that point any battle is pretty much game deciding. You don't really go around thinking about contains 13 minutes into the game (or whatever the timing was). *: Anyway. I was, in my post, mostly trying to explain that feeling of dissapointment that I could empathise with in Cloud. Cloud's build or "strategy" in itself wasn't at fault or weak against what G5 did. Rather it was the fact that he failed to read G5's build correctly. That he forgot about the basics of Desti PvP. Even a player doing a standard build would have crushed Clouds army in that position. That's why I'm arguing the people in here claiming there was some kind of a brilliant timing attack involved. It was a mistake... no more no less. G5 deserved it sure. Good timing attacks do exist on desti, sure (and bisu would prolly win if he pulled on of them). None of this means G5 played good or that his build was the reason behind the win. G5 won, that's all that matters in the end. But that wasn't a timing attack countering a standard strategy. It was merely an attack slamming an army out of position. | ||

all the strategy stuff aside, i agree with the empathy. my pvp is very similar to cloud's and i lose in similar ways sometimes. some gameplans have to be played perfectly in order to succeed and sometimes you dont see the holes until you've lost a game. | ||

LaLuSh puts a lot of thoughts to Cloud that are reasonable, but we don't know and cloud is not coming in here confirming it, and its hard to recall exactly what you were thinking during the game exactly. Its understandable to be annoyed when you feel you are playing a bit poor due to nerves, and you lose in a chancy situation where you don't quite scout the other guy attacking. Oh well, but thats all it is, and that is starcraft. BTW we do have a bisu rep on this map vs best. Bisu goes relatively fast dt drop after expo and contains best at nat ~9min. Best expos and breaks out though back side. And its a long game. Note how both go for 2archons before storm though. | ||
