I love Bisu more than anyone else and god knows thats true, but if I see a picture of him after page 5 it will result in 2 days ban. Thats enough, be warned. -disciple |

He did expect it. It was impossible to stop for him in this situation. Typically you fend off 3 hatch hydra by making 4-6 cannons and getting up 3 gateways to make zealots, as cannons are useless without them. Tempest lost too much money to the cannon rush to get the gateways up.

Tempest was basically was just thrown under the bus. It wasn't a bad choice to play him then. KT still has many players that can win now.

Hydra is CJs best player and Tempest is awful. CJ just wasted their #1 to beat a scrub

Well on the bright side, that means no ZvZ tonight.

I wonder who Tempest is replacing. Roo is doing too well in playoffs to not get an opportunity...maybe Crazy Hydra?

It was Action for a pizza last night right? I'd say with slick negotiating savvy and strong arm tactics KT could at least get a pepperoni for Tempest.

In that he was lucky enough to play 12 crappy people in a row, yes. Hydra is far better.

Tempest has been played occasionally all year. he's just been losing. MY theory is that he's doing well in practice but fails in the TV match. maybe action?

you fail lol :p

Even if Tempest failed though I don't think this worked out for CJ. Hydra is wasted on a player that is worse than basically everyone else KT will field.

4 cannons are not enough for a Hydra bust, but build more and Zerg will just retreat his hydra force to just use them later, while the 6+ cannons become completely useless. So the Zerg gains huge advantage even when they are not attacking, it's just unthinkable.

Hydra is wasted on a player that is worse than basically everyone else KT will field. your phrasing is awkward. I don't know why but i feel like you suggest that tempest didn't fail. Also, i think CJ expected a zerg considering it is alternative and KT field 4 zergs out of 6 player last time.

He lost so many minerals on that cannon cheese, gateway, 3 pylons and a cannon.
I agree 3h hydra is stupid, but that is not the reason he was unable to hold it off.

#2, Tempest probably wasn't expecting a 9-pool (it's a pretty rare build these days), and #3, given a couple breaks, the cannon could've done significantly more damage. Not saying that it would've kept Hydra out for very much longer, but the timing was razorthin, and Tempest could've kept him making 'lings for half a minute longer.
