 I gotta admit, game one was truely spectacular. Leave it to Ra to show us a game like that. But the rest of the series was the same old lurk/sunk gay we see every time. Savior is just too good at it. I don't see how he can be beaten in a series on conventional maps. And yeah, the final is going to be lame too. Too bad it had to end up this way...again.  | ||

Gj "Meastro" --; This is pro-gaming... you use whatever strategy will get you the win. Besides, it's more than that. Savior has a lot of brains, and his strategies are well thought out. Game 3, for instance... Sure, he turtled, but the fact is that he turtled in a spot I haven't seen many other zergs turtle before. It was the positioning of his expansions that allowed him to win that game. | ||

The disappointing thing is that he does what every other Zerg does, in a marginally better manner, exploiting the most easily executed builds in the game (however good he is at them) and produces redundant and uninspired ZvPs that no one will ever remember. Very similarly to July, he makes PvZ look impossible. So I appreciate that he's so good at it, but watching him win that way is like seeing a Terran beat a Zerg on Longinus. It's cute that the play is so solid, but by the third time I've seen it I'm bored to tears and want to see the map die. Similarly, I want to see a ZvP series only on maps with balanced stats. If ever game was on Peaks, Ra would've brought Savior to 5 games. But you give this kid any kind of edge, and he's unbeatable. So I'm not entertained seeing him take that edge and rape with it. I get it, he's super good. Give me good maps now. Not a couple good maps. A whole card. That's the only way you'll see a monster like that beaten in a series. He can't have a single free game. | ||

I mean look at ra, he did fast expansion all 4 games...hows that for original. Face it, they all basically do the same strategies, no ones making up new strats anymore...its all just execution. ZvP imbalance you say? perhaps, but lets not forget that saviour's real shining point is his ZvT. His ZvT is what got him the MSL win before, and its what distinguished him from other zergs. In my opinion his ZvT play is diferent (and seems to work better) compared to the pack of low-econ zergs we've seen so much lately (aka Yellow, July, Chojja). | ||

--> Nal_Ra had LUCK on his side even in that first game. Those fat ultralisks got stuck at a narrow ramp, and I believe he would have lost that major battle if they had gone through. However, none of these thoughts were going through rA’s mind as he opened at 11, placing his first pylon at his natural. He scouted Savior straight off, and seeing the hatchery first build felt confident to fast expand himself. He was mining gas far before his first gateway, and showed some amazing probe micro in preventing a second expo chance by savior over at 3. However, the Maestro got his expo, and dropped both a den and spire in front of the protoss scout, daring him to guess at the tech. What the heck is this! Protoss is supposed to be the mind-game Race... | ||
