3rd Place Pre Match Interview
Ssak vs Hero

+ Show Spoiler [Click~] +
q. what do you think about the crowd hero
» hero: I feel nervous
» q. more nervous than ro4?
» hero: yes
» q. I want to ask Hero once more, your versus terran is lacking atm, what do you think
» Hero: I think this is just homework for me, I will figure it out
» q. are you confident today?
» Ssak: I will beat him down 2:0
» q. you're good with late game but you're going end fast?
» Ssak: Yes
» q. What will you do with your 3rd place monies
» Hero: Idk yet
» q. what about you Ssak?
» ssak: I haven't thought about it either
» Hero: thanks for all the people coming, I will do my best
» Ssak: It's been a while in such a big crowd, I will show you all entertaining games


Bo3: Set 1, Hero vs Ssak on New Wind and Cloud

+ Show Spoiler [click~] +

» hero likes to play macro style, if it turns into a normal game.. it will be disadvantageous for him, hero needs to play aggressive these series
» ssak's late mechanic, his strengths are latent in in late mech... enjoys doing that strat
» in a normal management game... hero would do a 3 hatch play or will he do a 2 hatch play.
the REASON why ssak goes for a 14cc
because ssak expects him to play passive
» doesn't even need to scout the zerg
» and look, a 3hatch
observing is done by Larva atm
» both players are aiming for a macro game, based on both player's skills.. the advantage goes to Ssak
entertaining part about this, if terran goes late scout.. should bunker for safety, but Ssak doesn't care
» really greedy play
» engineering bay/academy going up, even though it's a 3rd place match there is a prize difference so they will try hard
» the weakness to this kind of terran play.. I think is speedlings or lurkers (carrier) going mutalisks normally seems too hard for zerg
ahhhhhhhh this is huge
» ohhhhh still making drones? not making lurkers even?
» this scout is crucial
» ssak adding more barracks, he seems very relaxed, with a nice scout what he needs to be careful about is muta harass but that is within in gameplan
» since he did a 14cc, instead of investing in tech... he wants to pressure with those added barracks, saying I will deny your 3rd gas
» hero can't do this with only mutas, he need zerglings also
» this is important for Hero, nice control
» ZERGLINGS SURROUND?
» but there are so many marines
» are they upgraded marines?
» yes they are
» this is hero's mistake
» this is Ssak's master plan, when reinforcements arrive... hero will be powerless
» too long for defilers, too late for lurkers
» Ahhhh mutalisk control
» BREAK?
» AHHHHH NATURAL BEING BROKEN
» this is Hero's weakness
» GEEEEEGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE



Bo3 2nd set Hero vs Ssak on Fighting Spirit

+ Show Spoiler [click~] +

» Ssak yellow terran 11 o clock
» this felt like a warmup game from him, it was a safe game and he's just enjoying it, chewing his gum
» 7 o clock red zerg, Hero needs add something new
» macro style problems have this problem
» even with the macro lead, they'll feel like they're behind
» good overlord scout this game, he can respond to terran this time
» ohhh fast pool
» if this was in 1st set.. it would've been different but as you can see, this is Ssak's response
» Ssak's reading him like a book
» this is like, totally like the... starcraft cheat code, black sheep wall (reveals the map)
» even if ssak made a fast rax
» the marines can block with scvs at the ramp
» the early pool yielded no results
» right now he needs to try something, maybe adding more zerglings
» maybe do a speedling 3 hatch play, terran needs to expand anyway
» scvs checking out 9 o clock too
» hero doesn't want to do any ling play atm
» Ssak scouted drones popping out, he looks around and say.. 'oh nothing much here
» this is worse than 12h play, if hero did 12h this game hero would be slightly ahead, those early ling investments have done nothing
» zerglings trying to backstab but
» nothing, those became wasted zerglings
» ssak wow, he can predict everything
» zerg is so poor, if zerg doesn't do big dmg during lair tech it will be too tough to continue
» if those 1st group of marines were outside it would've been easy to take out but he pulled out nicely
» these mutas need to do a lot of catchup
» ohhhhh hero going in
» ssak needs to fight in turret range, defended
» if hero wants to lurker transition and 3rd
» he needs to keep those mutas healthy
» oh this micro
» good battle for hero
» bought time one more time
» when 3 gas comes up and lurkers, hero has another timing to attack
» hero needs to show that he can play aggressive
» then he can take control of this match
» ssak is afraid at the moment, can't go outside
» this is a chance
» there is no lurker
» HERO
» GO
» HE CAN FIGHT BUT Why are you holding back
» what Ssak needs is 1 dropship
» ahh science vessel!
» NICE VESSEL SNIPE
» Ssak is rushing tho
» what are those 12 o clock army doing
» backstab?!
» HE HAS A LOT OF LURKERS
» WOWOW NICE PINCER
» Hero made a nice amount of units
» Hero's 3 gas is key atm
» that opens up 4th gas
» right now Ssak lifting CC to 12 o clock...
» defiler is so fast, late mech won't be done
» more vessel snipes
» armies, defiler has arrived
» going all up
» Hero got his confidence back
» getting pushed into his natural
» Hero should play safe, and just deny Ssak's 3rd
» Hero is thinking he got the game
» pushing in
» GEEEEEEEEGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

» crazy zerg maybe? could happen
» even if hero wants to go crazy zerg (going fast ultras)
» needs to buy time with something at least
» is that chinese cast yth?
» waiting for larva, muta timing, oh one ling without speed
» lurker could've been better in this spot, very similar to 1st game
» Hero making lots of hatcheries, Ssak needs to use this army somewhere
» mutas are reducing the marine count bit by bit
» only sunks... it will be hard to defend
» what ssak is doing well, is combining both armies fluidly
» proxy and reinforcing
» this is very dangerous spot for hero
» those sunkens look easy to break, oh some lings coming out at a good timing, but the pressure is big
» terran fought a bit bad but still won
» fighting again
» this is not the end
» terran is still scary
» these tanks
» ARE IMPORTANT
» TANKS AREN'T DYING
» hero lost too many mutalisks, it is impossible to block with only lings
» even if ultras come out... unupgraded ultras won't do anything
» the lings became stop zerglings
» AHHH THOSE UPGRADES
» They are lings with lots of hps
» only meat shields... hero can't fight this terran ball

Reach: Mercury is protoss graveyard, ban pls
Yellow: nono, it's your grave
Reach: you have to play like this to have fun
» as expected of Yellow, he doesn't do stuff like 12h
Reach: woah woah where are you going?
» pylon block~
» Yellow knows reach will cancel, so he doesn't care, Yellow doesn't want to go into lat egame
» 2 cannons, too hard to runby with low number of lings, still bad for toss forced to make 2 cannons
» yellow is reading reach's mind/scouting path
» what kind of attack yellow will do this game
» needs to block probe scout, to keep Reach on his toes
» in a no lair state if he goes hydra den... this is up to yellow, he goes lair
» 9 o clock hatch up, that probe can even see from drone numbers on the bases if yellow's allin but nothing at 7 on scout path
» ohhh nice scout cut, didn't see drone numbers
Reach: Hydra bust?
Yellow: ?
Yellow: Your predictions are still the same
Reach: T.T
» lings speed up against 3 zealots, ah
» aigooooooooo
» there's so many lings, but this blocked hehe
» seems like Yellow wanted to do a runby
» nice block by Reach
» sairs searching for stray ovies, with a +1 air
» what is yellow doing.. because no natur.. ahh there's 2nd gas at 3rd
» mutas are coming
» yellow didn't reduce reach's sair count so this is good for toss
» there's a lot of sairs
» even with a cannon, this is hard to harass for zerg
» ahhhhh dt haras
» different from set 1
» the mutalisks are useless now
» yellow going into a management game, this is very unlike him
» if reach just goes up to sair/speedlot, this will be troublesome for zerg
» ahhhh so much dmg on mutas
» how can zerg block this incoming toss macro explosion
» if yellow thinking of lurker drop? ahhh they're all melting
Yellow: ?
Reach: ?
Yellow: That's a tip
» Yellow is making so many drones
» both players maybe just deciding to do a big macro battle
» Reach's army is getting bigger, maybe will see his infinite storms this game
» busting his pylon door, these high templars have so much energy
» yellow can't fight this head on
» Reach storm~
» reach is in a good position but if yellow mines a bit more...
» wow so many protoss units
» Reach is deciding to not take a 3rd, this is just hanbang
» Reach is giving Yellow so much time. ahhhh observer suicide
» Protoss has no 3rd
» just needs to keep this defense line
» Reach's army is still substantial, can't fight yet
» ohhh observer sniped again
» no backup detection
» if reach knew 7 o clock existed, he could've destroyed that base
Reach: what's up with your control
Yellow: You're not expanding?

Bo5 Grand Finals Match: Set 1 Killer vs Hiya on New Wind and Cloud, StaRt!


+ Show Spoiler [click~] +

» Killer who is the last SSL winner
» red terran Hiya at the 7 o clock
» the 1st game of the bo series sets the pace for the remaining sets
» as people has seen from Killer's semifinal games, he survives to the bitter end and makes brilliant counters
» 1rax double for Hiya, with the scout doing some cute worker attack
» ohhhhhhh dat drone moving shot
» Killer 3 hatchery play, very normal
» Hiya did some plays like moving a large numbers of scvs to natural and do a stim rush, Hiya has many cards
normally terrans do fast upgrades.. but he's focusing on making more marines
» if you make marines continuously on 2rax.. 3 rax? ah no engineering bay
» this is Hiya, something extreme.. there is no future
» no upgrade, Hiya prepared this for the 1st set, and Killer has to defend this
» Killer is just buying time for sunkens to morph
» this early attack is meaningless now, just pressure
» GOING IN
» NO ZERGLINGS IN THE FRONT
» HIYA TIMING WHAT
» if zerglings come out with mutas
» BEFORE HIYAS REINFORCEMENT ARRIVES
» AHH MUTAS 1 MUTA
» LINGS HAS TO BLOCK DEFEND
» ohh MARINE STILL ALIVE? FIREBAT GIONG TO
» WOWOWOWOWO
» this sense play by Hiya, sending firebats to distract mutalisks
» so he can bust the hatchery
» Killer couldn't predict this kind of play
» but Killer must know Hiya's style in and out as a former teammate
» Hiya kept making marines from 2 rax to create this situation without upgrades, for Killer to come back... he needs to lift Hiya's natural cc
» right now terran can just play defensive, zerg being so poor... knows that zerg doesn't have 3rd, this is saying
» don't make drones! you have to keep producing units!
» Killer can't end this game with muta/lings allin so he is making lurkers, this is trying to use resources he can't afford
» scan and going in!!! WOW SO AGGRESSIVE
» that reinforcement timing, and medics are all alive
» Killer's only key of coming back is attacking... but Hiya is forcing him to defend
» Zerg needs 3 gas to even attempt go hive...
» THIS IS SO SMART BY HIYA
» lurkers has to back off now
» the 1% chance hope... 3 o clock by Killer is running, that 3rd gas
» can Killer defend?!?!?! impressive
» terran's army at the moment.. what can it do is make bases while pressuring
» if Killer survives this and make defiler survive
» WOW this kind of distraction
» each second he can buy, more time for teching up
» hive is going up, Hiya is being pulled into Killer's pace
» since Hiya can't force him out, Killer also has a sizable force of lurkers hugging the high ground
» can't attack that position
» ohhh this 3rd, THIS IS AN UNAVOIDABLE FIGHT
» BUT AHHH IF THE HATCH DIES
» the lurkers approach was bad, was separate
» Killer's army needed to be divided in 2
» Hiya can just go below and fight there, Killer is back on 2 gas
» Hiya while making CC using dropships, just needs to reduce lurker numbers
» GEEGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE


Bo5 Grand Finals Match: Set 2 Killer vs Hiya on Fighting Spirit, StaRt!

+ Show Spoiler [click~] +

» Hiya style was shown, he attacked at 3 rax without engineering bay.. unlike normal 2rax to 4rax while upgrading, you can't block this even if you know it's coming
» Killer going 12h
» there is a high chance Hiya will play offbeat timings again
» these kinds of small movements, hiding that scv
» hide scv until drone is gone
» making Killer guess, did he get natural cc or not?
» Hiya also used a grabbing natural acting and did a stim rush in the semis, so gotta be careful
» Hiya is making Killer think
» engineering bay this time, this is standard
» scv goes in
» Killer can also do 2h muta with 2 gas, but this scout cancelled those thoughts
» bad attack =/
» to keep hiya in his base
» Killer's early investment into zerglings... will be useless because Hiya went standard
» but right no, going lurkers.. only work when terran doesn't expect it
» there is no turrets
» Hiya seems to have scouted it with scans
» Terran now with +1 and 5rax.. 2 firebat timing is when they move out
» theyre like zerglings
» that kind of ling/lurker... best defense is bunkers... Hiya will know
» Hiya has to be careful
» upgrade marines is good against marines, but less marines vs many lings it could be dangerous for this marine force
» lurkers in th eback
» this position is bad for terran
» it's wide so he can escape sort of
» Hiya seeing lurkers, he needs to tech up immediately
» this confidence by Hiya is.. impressive
» keeping lurker counter buying time into hive, is Killer's plan
» count*
» Hiya looking at how many lurkers he has... it might be better getting dropship before vessel
» when tank/vessel comes up... Killer can't do main army vs main army, zerg has to scratch him bit by bit
» oh dropship first, that is the right order
» no need to come so far outside, THIS CONTROL by Hiya
» Killer doesn't have to fight out here
» defiler mound just going up
» why the lurker is out far, is having a pincer... to buy more time
» armies focused so far out, this 1 dropship can do big dmg
» Killer wants to pincer front/back
» AHHH NATURAL DROP
» this natural drop is disrupting Killer's rhythm
» HIYAAAAAAAAAAA
» HE'S A GENIUS
» He got a nice timing but FAIL CONTROL
» FAIL CONTROL
» AH not paying attention!
» there was only 4 lurkers, he could've scanned and microed to take those out but...
» OHH HIIYA this kind of proxy lurker, sick
» Hiya with 2 critical mistakes... giving Killer time
» consume complete, if vessels don't irradiate before swarm
» nice spotting
» ahh dark swarm
» AHH MARINES MELTING
» why it's so hard for Hiya, his marine count is so low
» Killer has so many defilers
» he won't be able to irradiate all of them
» Hiya's attempt to break the natural + drop was good attempt but his micro was lacking
» Killer can just cut this off, so much army AH VESSEL
» there are too many lurkers!
» Killer cut off the main army from terran natural
» ahhhhh command ceneter!
» this situation is too hard for the terran
» GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
» ahhh he knows, why did I do that
» 2 vessels, AH 3
» it's not over yet, but next game... Hiya can't make a single mistake next game

How I hated Bisu back then, as a Flash fanboy. Now I miss him.

This is going to be great! Oz finals. I will probably stay neutral because I really don't know who to cheer for.

1. Cheer for Hiya especially since you are a Flash/Terran fanboy
2. I hope one day you can hate him again when he returns after seeing how awesome the SSL went.
3. I miss him too! <3!!!!

Who cares for some Grand Finals? There's gonna be motherfucking Legends Match with Mantoss vs Special Event King. With a THOUSAND Liquibet Points on the line

Go go Yellow Force! Ssak and Hollywood Fishyking can get the few remaining drops of hwaiting left.

Edit: I might even LR this, if I'm not lost on an exo-archeological mission on jungle worlds killed by a falling asteroid charging on a horse with my sword held high enraged from Sayle missing all the things dead asleep drunk. Or I might employ my patented PrintScreen(TM) technology. Or both! Alternatively I'll cry in the corner from Yellow losing the Legends Match, causing me to lose a potential 1000 LB points, preventing me from saving myself from my bad GC choices. Edit2: Nvm more competent people with highier wwpm (wise words per minute) are here. This means I can fire up my space rockit and sharpen me +2 sword.

Yellow losing by one game wouldn't be so bad, would be? After all he is number two forever
Nevertheless, Yellow, hero, Hiya for my liquibet.
