Interesting to see a Terran actually use that composition (hellbat marauder viking). I have hit it once on ladder and was absolutely demolished by a player ranked far lower than myself. You can actually run through storms since everything in the composition can survive 3 full storms if you have medivac support. It actually made me think that you might have to start opening stargate in PvT, but then I never saw it on ladder ever again. I showed it to one of my Terran practice partners and I haven't beaten him in a longer game while he used that composition in practice games so far.

I hope HerOMarine faces another protoss this tournament so I can see if someone else figures out how to deal with it.

Chargelot Archon is very strong versus that composition.


Nope, I always open chargelot archon, that's what it killed so badly. I don't even know the build order for a colossus opener.

EH, it works for me when I off race as Toss. My brothers love Hellbat/Rauder/Viking. Make sure you mix in some sentries for a few FFs as well. Another thing that works really well is making a shitload of immortals with gateway units. There is also just making voids... Point is there is lots of ways to beat it.


i dont wanna offend u, but i doubt that u playing offrace vs your brothers is all that great to determine weather a strategy is good or bad^^

fact is, hellbats are incredibly powerful vs zealots, and forcefields arent all that helpful against players with medivac micro

Soo they don't announce the group rules, Forgg knows he's already qualified and plays his last game, then they annonce that the rules won't be standard and decide Forgg isn't qualified anymore o_O.


Pretty bullshit if you ask me. Forgg deserves to go through the group...

At this rate they may not stream the entire group.

while i agree that mapscore should always come first and i would like to see ForGG advance therefore, the rules are open to read for anyone.

so its either the players or more the managers responsibility to read the rules beforehand and let the players know what is on the line and what they have to do to advance.
its not that much work, it takes about 5 minutes to find and read that i assume.

That new Zergling skin looks quite obnoxious. I can't imagine watching a ZvZ where both players go Ling/Bane with that skin active o_O

CrossPost from the official forums for the event:

Messioso (Assistant Head Admin Person):


Our rules that were given in the player briefing stated that head2head would be used when players were tied.

This meant that because BabyKnight beat ForGG, when they both finished 3-2, BabyKnight took 3rd place over ForGG.

The same theory was applied to Snute and JonnyREcco, where Snute beat JonnyREcco so he took 1st place, and JonnyREcco took 2nd.

There were no "influence" decisions.

Where are the rules? Were they posted ahead of time? Even the casters had no idea and I imagine they should have a rulebook handy.

Rules are "coming soon" so rules can be everything, they even can change them whatever they want since nothing is written....

I don't recall any tournament using this method for the group stage.
And i watch sc2 esport since the launch...

England : like always, wanting to be different.

head2head is used very often actually. perhaps not so often in SC2, but actually pretty often in eSports in general. WCG use it, for example.

Why are people so upset about ForGG not advancing in the first place?

He's like the cheesiest Korean terran after Bitbybit.

Head to head results makes perfect sense as the first tie breaker. Map score is also fine but only if it an absolute difference or % map score.

The who won the most maps thing some tournaments have done before, once resulting in Grubby going through I believe (in an IEM?) is absolutely ridiculous and should never be used.

The cheesiest? This guy has one of the best macro out there. And if you ever watch his stream (he streams 10 hours a day, btw) he literally never cheeses.

overlord tries to look like an overseer. Most tournaments will have this forbidden soon.
