In my mind there is absolutely no doubt that the game is lost when protoss gets his third, so my judgement may be clouded, but I can't understand why day9 repeatedly talks about hive and infestors. has there been a game where zerg could win, or just did not lose in an absurdly one-sided fashion, by getting hive or infestors?


Fungal Growth shuts down blink, while ultras rip through stalkers like a hot knife through butter. This especially helps when Mondie had his Muta/Roach composition in G4 so that 1) there are less stalkers and 2) not all stalkers can fire at the mutas by blinking under them.

Dreamhack, I think?


Dreamhack had a TvP finals


=>GSL worold team league, Zergs ruled over evrybody(Sen, Dimaga, July, and Nestea for the finish)
=>Loisira the GSL code A (Lol OK)

=>Stephano(Zerg) wins 3 sunday go4sc2 and 1 wednesday in nearly one month.
=>Dimaga wins the january go4sc2 final.
=>Ret wins assembly winter
=>Nerchio had also a lot of sucess those 2 last month


There was a thread on TL somewhere i dont recall the name where there was the total number of tournament won for each race this month and last, terran was ahead, protoss in second almost tied up with zerg in 3rd. Terran was quite ahead overall, but we usually want our race to win the big ones. =D

Pretty sure the better player won today, and that better player was CrunCher. That's why they played a best of 5. Anyone complaining because of the outcome need to realize CrunCher outplayed Mondragon, especially in the final game. It's sad to see no zergs left..maybe they need to pick their games up a bit to contend?

So are you implying that all Zerg players are bad? :/

This series upsets me... I mean, I believe in playing to win of course. But it didn't seem fair, Mondragon was playing so well, battering CrunCher left and right. Normally when someone wins a series that convincingly it feels natural to say they played better. But here it doesn't, it doesn't seem fair that Mondragon lost, he's so much better than CrunCher, I'm sorry but it's true. If CrunCher wins this TSL, I will be deeply upset. Hopefully Naniwa will beat him, as Naniwa is actually very good.

CrunCher is just a cheesey player who likes to BM people. I'm bothered by these results.

I cannot wait to see what State of the Game has to say about all this.



Well SoTG will probably say the what has been said for about a year now. If you go hatch first the toss has the option to cannon you. This isnt nothing new. The games where close outside of the cannon game. Which cruncher cannon'd the expo because Mondragon hatched first. The last game was great no denying that. As bothieus said in his blog. If you want every match to be EPIC colossus wars vs ultras. Your not gonna find it in Sc2. You will find all epic matches in WWE cause its scripted.

Its like boxing or MMA. Both combatants are in the ring to win the game! Some people love knockouts some love the technical aspect of the fight and want to see it make it past round 3.

Until Don King starts promoting(and bribing them) Sc2 players or Vince McMahon makes a starcraft league not every game is going to have Dramatic drawn out battles.

People need to understand this.

very sad, but a great series. Image how developed Mondragon´s style could be, if he practises regularly.

And stay real. Cruncher played really well.

And Protoss don't use Carriers or Warp Prisms. It frustrates me more to see such an ability to have such diversified play not used. People tell Zerg to use Overlord drops and be inventive. No one tells Protoss to use Warp Prisms to beat Roach Hydra Corruptor or use Carriers to harass mineral lines.


...I'm going to assume that's sarcasm and you aren't trying to actually be clever.

They already use warp prisms. And protoss dont need to switch up their play because it currently works, and until it gets figured out how to beat it they can do what they are doing atm.


And Zerg already uses Overlords drops and Infestors. What else do you want us to do to beat the Deathball?

I'm kinda disappoint the games were great and stuff but why did u let someone know the results before the games were casted....
About the games i rly enjoyed all of them i think if Mondi had more time to prepare and pracc more he would have won I mean just look at his reaction to the cannon rush.The Goody vs Naniwa series were also great some bad judegment from goody cost him the game.Looking foward to the others sets.

Fungal range is 9 with a radius of 2. Feedback range is 9.

In order to feedback Infestors so they don't fungal your stalkers, the HTs have to be in the front. Problem with that is that Zerg can just pull back Infestors and kill your frontal HTs. If you leave HTs in the back, your Stalkers can get Fungalled and he runs away. At max range Infestors can fungal HTs without getting hit anyway. If Infestors fungal anything they can spend their energy and not die to feedback. They can also spam Infested Terran to not die to feedback if they can't get in fungal range (lol). )It kind of works the other way around though--if your HTs get close enough and Zerg doesn't pick them off instantly, your Infestors die. And HTs can always just storm at range 9 and radius 1.5.

It's not as cold-cut as "X unit counters Y unit." This is good for SC2 as a spectator sport. HTs vs. Infestors or HTs vs. Ghosts will always be infinitely more interesting than a Toss player using Colossi (cause they simply counter MM and get killed by vikings, and no amount of micro changes that).

Fungal growth is good vs. Stalkers anyway, especially with the recent buff. There's usually that time after the first Toss push where you kill their Colossi but you can't win cause they reinforce with blink stalkers, and you both retreat. Fungals prevent the Stalkers from retreating with blink, and they take full damage from roach/hydra.

Honestly, I look forward to the day in SC2 when we can watch a game and nobody says, "THIS PROVES THAT X IS IMBALANCED." It's annoying. In a game with limitless possibilities and choices at any given time, how can one set of 5 games showing 5 different possibilities out of thousands prove imbalance in any way?

Well was really rooting for Mondi but Cruncher was able to hold it down. Great games to watch, all in all couldn't have asked for much more.
