Hey everyone, just got done watching group 10 and thought this was thread worthy.
Game 1 featured FBH vs a much lesser known MBCgame player, Koala on the Jungle map Athena.
I recommend you watch game 1 to set the stage for the second game below, but it's not critical, just know that + Show Spoiler +
FBH of course showed an utter disdain and lack of respect for his opponent by proxying a factory, and later a starport, right outside his main, and along with some cute marine/vulture micro, completely crushed Koala. His brief ceremony was very cute too.
Fast forward to game 5, both players are at 1-1, meeting each other again on Bluestorm... whoever wins this advances:
OMFG... Koala thought he'd give FBH a taste of his own medicine, and looking at the short game length and the cleverly hidden 2nd rax (odds were FBH would only find one, genius move by Koala), I thought FBH was done. He handled it like a champ, and in true Boxer-esque fashion, counter proxied. The marine vs vulture micro at the end litterally made me drop my fucking jaw @ how close it was (fucking HERO vulture). In this macro-infested culture, I haven't been that excited over a game in a LONG time. And the follow-up ceremony was just ROFL, what a baller.
the second game was one of the best and closest games iv seen in awhile. firebathero doesnt get enough credit. although if his tvp wasnt an abomination i think hed make it alot farther in individual leagues (and dare say make the finals possibly)
I am going to tease the hell out of Sungeun for those ceremonies next time I see him - I know his fans thought they were very cute. Nice games tho - I've always liked FBH's do-or-die gaming style.
Evilteletubby, I have to agree with you "In this macro-infested culture, I haven't been that excited over a game in a LONG time. And the follow-up ceremony was just ROFL, what a baller"
I was waiting for someone to post a thread about this game too ^^
I loved the game... Koala's proxi was gold trying to confuse fbh with the rax, but FBH kept his cool and looked really strong
Something I didnt like was FBH's vult micro with the last 2 rines.. it seemed like he was about to lose his last vult T_T
its actually harder to control speed vultures using patrol, especially against slow units like marines because they tend to go in closer than they should
