Nyoken vs. Dreiven should produce some good games. I can't wait for the replays.

I didn't know anything about MikOeL, but I guess I'll have to take note after beating Arew. Looks like pretty even series all around.
I'm watching replays for random matches... writing reviews for the games I do watch. ***
Summary of Game 1 between mouz.GhosTa and RoX.Marwin: (Spoilers) + Show Spoiler +Game 1 is played on Destination. Marwin spawns at 12, while GhosTa spawns at 6. Both players go for two factory openings. GhosTa goes for vultures with mines, while Marwin randomly builds pure goliaths. These walz through GhosTa's minefield somehow and with the help of a wraith force his larger army back. Both take their naturals at the same time, and both drive around the back of the natural and sets up tanks to snipe the other's workers. GhosTa's attempt is cleaned up quickly, while Marwin's effort lasts significantly longer, and forces GhosTa to waste a lot of units clearing it out. Mawin has siezed upon the delay to expand to the 10 o'clock plateau expansion. GhosTa again tries to put pressure on Marwin with vultures, but Marwin is now firmly ahead in the dropship war, and he kills of an abortive GhosTa attack in the center. Marwin then sets up outside and behind GhosTa's natural again, and expands to the 2 o'clock. By the time GhosTa cleans up the tanks hemming in his natural he is 2 bases and over 40 supply down. Marwin moves around with dropships and finally lands a game ending four-ship tank/goliath drop on GhosTa's factories. GhosTa gg's. mouz.GhosTa 0 - RoX.Marwin 1 Summary of Game 2: + Show Spoiler +Game 2 is on Fighting Spirit. GhosTa spawns at the bottom left (7:30) and Marwin at the bottom right (4:30). Both open with nearly identical builds from the first game, with GhosTa favoring a vulture/tank combination, and Marwin building a lot of goliaths along with tanks. GhosTa is quicker to the punch however, and sets up a loose contain at Marwin's bridge. Marwin attempts to move around it, but GhosTa takes the initiative to move into a much stronger position and Marwin moves back. Both take their naturals, while GhosTa adds a third factory and Marwin adds a starport. GhosTa does not reinforce his contain in time, and Marwin smashes it at the bridge and pushes out to hold a more central position. He then takes the 3 o'clock expansion, and begins to add factories, while adding a control tower to his starport. With a tank advantage in the center, Marwin attempts to break GhosTa's tank line. Good placement of mines forces Marwin into a retreat, and he his hit from behind by a force of four vultures which lay mines among the fleeing tanks, killing them all. GhosTa siezes upon this decisive victory and lays siege to Marwin's natural, forcing it to lift. Vultures also deny the 3 o'clock. Marwin desperately uses his dropship to land a tank and goliaths behind GhosTa's mineral line. GhosTa kills this off, then meets a last ditch reinforcement from Marwin. Marwin gg's. mouz.GhosTa 1 - RoX.Marwin 1 Summary of Game 3: + Show Spoiler +Game 3 is on Andromeda. GhosTa spawns at the top right (1:30) and Marwin spawns at the bottom right (4:30). Both players once again put out two factories, and GhosTa builds a vulture and a tank, while Marwin gets a few vultures, and runs them into GhosTa's base, with some success with harassment. GhosTa takes a much earlier expo, defending with two tanks and a minefield. Marwin pushes out with a motley crew of goliaths and vultures. Crucially, Marwin's barracks was not sent directly to GhosTa's base, so he 1a's into GhosTa's minefield and loses almost his entire force. GhosTa pushes with tanks to Marwin's front and sets up a strong contain, while building two more factories and a starport at home. Marwin, still on two factories and with a starport building is unprepared to defend GhosTa's first drop which sets up above his natural. Marwin eventually clears it out, but is immediately re-dropped by three dropships near his factories and covering his ramp. After losing most of his forces, Marwin gg's. mouz.GhosTa 2 - RoX.Marwin 1 Review: + Show Spoiler +Pretty simple and uninteresting series. I felt like I could play either of these players. Of course, I couldn't, but there wasn't really any kind of insane micro or macro on display here.

Summary of Game 1 between Avi-Love v. BW-datoby (Spoilers) (Recommended - Very good game!) + Show Spoiler +Game 1 is on Tornado. datoby spawns at 10, and Avi spawns at 4. datoby plays the standard forge FE, and Avi overpools. Having not drone scouted, Avi guesses datoby's position incorrectly, and his six initial lings do no damage, and come home to kill datoby's scout. Avi expands, and gets a fast hydra den. He hides his two-hatch hydra rush well, and datoby only sees it as it snakes around the map. He cannon whores, and finishes one cannon JUST in time to clean out Avi's supplementary zerglings, and prevent total disaster. Avi kills off the forge, but leaves datoby's only gateway in the wall with very little health, before retreating. datoby has been killing Avi's overlords while the hydras were away, and continues very effective harass as Avi retreats. Avi expands and datoby moves out with a few zealots and a dark templar. The zealots are forced to retreat by a mixed force of Avi, and the dt is killed while attacking Avi's expansion at 2:30. Avi tech switches to mutalisks, as datoby expands and builds his protoss ball of death. Avi's templar sniping is extremely effective, however, as datoby moves across the map (storming his army once), so much so that datoby has no templars upon arriving near Avi's natural. Avi then strikes with mass hydras, and decisively pushes datoby's army back. However, datoby saves much of his goon force, and has secured his third, putting him even on bases with Avi. With no mutalisks to kill off templar, Avi's desperate push is rolled by storm/goons just outside datoby's third. Avi "fgg's". Really great game. Avi-Love 0 - BW-datoby 1 Summary of Game 2 (Recommended again) + Show Spoiler +Game 2 is on Destination. datoby spawns at 12, while Avi spawns at 6. Both players open with standard builds, datoby with a forge FE (and excellent building timing) and Avi with an overpool -> three hatch spire, five hatch hydra build. Avi produces a lot of zerglings and runs in to datoby's natural, and exploits a hole in his defense, sniping the assimilatior, and a few zealots with it. This weakens datoby's first zealot/archon push which meets excellent simcities at Avi's third and natural. datoby takes his third despite pressure from Avi, and both players settle into a macro game. datoby takes out Avi's fourth at 9:30, but does not force Avi's simcities. Avi has meanwhile teched straight to hive, and instead massed zerglings. Avi's mass zergling/defiler attacks on datoby's army force it back, and repeated attacks from ultra/ling forces whittle it down. datoby regains some measure of control and is able to expand to the 3:30, and attacks at Avi's rebuilt 9:30 and his 5, but manages to only take down the 9:30, and is unable to hold that area. Avi now pressures increasingly smaller groups of zealots, dragoons, and templars, never letting datoby mass his forces convincingly. An attack that kills datoby's expansion at 3:30, followed by a hard push at datoby's third are too much for the protoss army to withstand, and datoby gg's. Avi-Love 1 - BW-datoby 1 Summary of Game 3 + Show Spoiler +(Another highly recommended game) Game 3 is on Fighting Spirit. datoby spawns in the bottom left (7:30) and Avi spawns in the top right at (1:30). Both players opt for the same builds they used in Game 2. datoby has no luck hunting corsairs, but Avi is forced to defend with his lings when datoby pushes at his third at 4 (natural of the bottom right expo) with a dragoon heavy army. Fantastic storms wipe out Avi's lings, and datoby kills a hatchery and hydra den before retreating. Avi however has teched straight to lair (really EffOrt-inspired play from Avi these last two games) and has gone ultra-first. datoby masses up again, and takes his third (6) comfortably. He tries to force Avi's third once again, but a stunning two pronged defense with lings and ultralisks strips the zealots from the protoss army and forces the dragoons into retreat. datoby takes his fourth (9) and gets reavers to take Avi's ultra heavy army. datoby is unable to attack again until swarm comes out, and his army is bled dry in skirmishes around the map. datoby pulls off a highly effective storm drop at the bottom left main and later at the bottom left natural, but both times his shuttles are scourged. (Avi expands there, and at 3.) datoby aims to expand at the top left natural, but mass lings shut that down, and Avi instead takes it. Mass ultras aided by swarm force the ramp of datoby's 6 o'clock and bring it down, as datoby cannot reinforce up the ramp on his side. Avi, feeling bolder strikes with a huge amount of ultras under swarm at datoby's army in the center. In what was surely the battle of the series, mass archons and reavers repell the ultralisks twice. datoby moves back to take out Avi's expansion at the top right natural, which he does easily, but his forced up the main ramp by an absurd amount of ultralisks. Avi tries to force the ramp, but datoby has it sealed off with a ton of archons and reavers for support. When datoby tries to escape however, Avi eliminates datoby's last defenders. Avi then hits datoby's 6 o'clock, breaks it, and datoby gg's. Avi-Love 2 - BW-datoby 1 Review: + Show Spoiler +WATCH THIS SERIES NOW! AMAZING GAMES!

The Nyoken vs Dreiven was a good series. The games maybe were not spectacular, but the level of play was pretty amazing, especially from both players on game one.
+ Show Spoiler +Game 2, Dreiven just destroys Nyoken, (unfortunatly for my favorite America player). It becomes 5 to 2 base and then Dreiven mops up Nyokens army like it was nothing. Reaver goes unharmed, storms go off and in seconds nothing is left. Dreiven showed no mercy.

How the hell horror can win these games with that terrible macro?

I am also wondering about this, I was told they don't fuck around so I don't see how they could have lost.

WOooooooooooooooo Go Arew! I always believed in you!
|
Gj Avi : ) looked like you got a tough deal after the first game, but your nice defiler usage won you the second and third
|
Great series. I can understand y nemu was dissapointed, seemed like he had game 3 100% and then messed up pretty badly. Also the Nyoken vs Dreiven series was a bit sad. I would have liked to see longer games between them, seemed like Dreivens early game micro pretty much crushed Nyoken.

Drone no =[ You were supposed to win the entire thing
|
Woot Avi, Drieven, and Infernal qualified!
yesyesyes

I have a question about Horror vs Nemu:
+ Show Spoiler +In the first and third game Horror had over 4000 minerals when having 3-4 bases, why is this? If you are sure of victory I can understand that you stop macroing or whatever but the games seemed pretty even. If you get into the top 48 of the ladder you shoulden't have such "poor" macro that you stack up over 4000 minerals in the midgame? I'm sorry if I'm asking stupid questions, I'm new to the scene.

obviously horror has other qualities than macro.

Third game was over when Nemu decided to counter attack instead of defending his third. And there's a free mineral only there too, although I'm not gonna say that for that reason it's ok to stack up that much minerals, but I can't say I understand tvz

gj incontrol and drieven let's hope they continue on with more victories
|
the only game i wanted recs were postponed... haha
Want so much to copycat op zergs!

Damn, both Bulgarians lost
Already saw Horror vs Nemu and I feel like he could've won game 3, but what has happened has happened. Looking forward to watching Incontrol vs Technics.

Dreiven's decision making is so cool and similar to mine. New favorite foreign Protoss
Also, I knew Incontrol would win the whole series after that shitty game one. (He send his ovie to a different base a little too early and got mutas really latete.)

Noooooooooo, kawaiiiiiiii, but good job avi-love.

just watched the iNc games. fuck i was nervous after the first one but he played the 3rd one so nicely. would've liked to see the flock of scourge to do a bit more damage but it still turned out OK. Great reaction at the end. It's so hard not to root for iNc
Shame to see Kawaii go down though.

Nyoken Dreiven was completely unexpected for me. I still though Dreiven was going to win but not like that.
I've never seen a nyoken play but so many people were talking him up to be incredible and one of the top foreigner terran players so I was excited as hell for this series. He played well in the first game but Dreiven was able to pull through. First game was pretty damn enjoyable. But the 2nd game? Lifting the barracks with only 2 rines and the shop still building? I don't think I've seen a barracks be repositioned that early with only 1 fact. I think his biomech build had a great chance of succeeding if those goons and zealot didn't cause damage in his main. I'm really sad. I wanted to see an epic 3-game series between these two guys. edit: Just saw the Sawyer Infernal game. Idk why he did that build in the 3rd game. After the lag was fixed for the 2nd game (i'm assuming this cause they didn't say anything in chat), Sawyer absolutely manhandled Infernal by just going standard. sad to see one of my favorite polish players out.
2-2 for the Americans 1-2 for the Poles Could be better. But could be worse

And you don't think game 2 was because of Infernals strategy? He went aggressive early which completley failed and then desperatley tried to catch up with a risky double expand. Sawyer just reacted correctley and pushed out early once he hit his timing gg. Imho just a bo win, nothing else.
|
I think Dreiven played very impressively, nice micro, nice judgement. Infernal played also very nice. Sawyer, at least in the andromeda game, was way too passive. No vulture raids, no drops, nothing. Horror vs Nemu was a weak series in my opinion. mediocre control/micro and mediocre game management from both sides. Arew vs mikoel. The latter showed some nice comebacks, but Arew seemed totally uninspired in the end game, when he had a big advantage (in both games) and threw it away. Overall: nice games, with lacking end-game on arew's side. Mikoel showed some nice turtling etc.
Gamtja outclassed KawaiiRice in my opinion, especially in the second game. I didn't know him before, but I was quite impressed. If he know incorporates more drop ship harrassment in his game, he seems to be quite a strong pt contender.
Incontrol: nice job.
eri: PZ is probably not ur best MU :/.
watching the rest now.

But that doesn't change the fact that Sawyer was the one that completely shut down the early goon pressure and then hit a nice timing window that hurt infernal quite a bit. But it's not like Infernal did the wrong decision, did he? My PvT knowledge is a bit rusty but after keeping the terran from taking the gas until 22 or 23 supply, the "correct" follow-up is to do heavy goon pressure, right? I don't even think Infernal was down by too terribly much when he failed to do any damage with his goons early on. I don't really think this game was a BO win

The one thing that kept bothering about the Gamtja Kawaii games was the fact that Gamtja would stasis a group of units and then do a storm on the stasis units right after it. I thought it was just a simple micro mistake but he ended up doing that multiple times.

Ghosta vs Marwin: Unfortunately, I don't know anything about TvT, so I am better not commenting on this game . But in game 2, Ghosta showed a really nice, game deciding (at least in my opionion) mine drag, killing 2 tanks.
Avi vs datoby: seemed to be a pretty even series. Datoby should incorporate reavers into his (moving!) army a little earlier and also drop ship harrassment was too late, avi showed some nice swarm play, but might consider drops to reduce protoss' production capabilities (watch some mondragon reps ).
Castro vs Shad: my z v z understanding is also quite limited, but Castros control seemed superior.
Nice games overall only horror vs nemu was subpar. Looking forward to this afternoon :-).
|
Arew vs Mikoel games were good. So was Avi-love vs toss, surprisingly (I don't even like zvp) ..
Also -
"FUCK YES!" – TSL-Incontrol

ya that datoby game is good..

just watched the gamtja games and me and my brother were pretty excited... good job gamtja! gogo gamtja FTW R2!! ^^
|
Mikeols late game TvP is impressive
WTF
|
Why no information on the Koll-Naugrim game. I kept asking myself since yesterday why they were postponed and when they are going to be played. I thought you would update this post but still nothing, share the info please.
|
Loved incontrol’s “FUCK YES”
What was up with NeMu’s talk at the end of game 3 about if he loses games like that he should quit sc? Isn’t horror a consensus better player? … i understand nemu had a shot at winning but as it turned out horror won, and to me nemu's comments seemed a bit disrespectful to him
Dreiven seemed quite impressive to me, though maybe that should have been expected after last TSL
Avi vs. Datoby was very entertaining for me, nice play by both players
Greatly enjoyed round 1... now its time for round 2! stinks to be behind, but thats what work will do to ya ... but atleast i still have all the R2 replays to look forward to

What was up with NeMu’s talk at the end of game 3 about if he loses games like that he should quit sc? Isn’t horror a consensus better player? … i understand nemu had a shot at winning but as it turned out horror won, and to me nemu's comments seemed a bit disrespectful to him
Nemu had a pretty big advantage in the game and it looked like he was going to win it for sure, so he was obviously very dissapointed with himself when he lost.
