another thing from IEM that is interesting is Elfi and his amazing pvp. i have never seen him play a pvp before this but heard about his pvp and seeing it, it just does not look standard but he just wins. I really like Grubby so I am pulling for him to do well.   | ||

Well what I noted from his play was this: The very moment he saw mutas (when his void ray was killed by them), he threw down his twilight. He allowed his other void ray to do as much damage as possible to the 4th of Nerchio, knowing that it would still die if he tried to retreat, and also to buy time as the mutas had to fly there to kill the void ray. At the same time, he cannoned up his mineral line and bases really hard, and warped in a templar archive + researched blink as soon as the twilight completed. Well let's take a page from his book and try this in our next PvZ! | ||

Any decent player know how to battle mutas, the theory is pretty easy the problem is to react with the proper multi tasking that is needed, if you slip, you lose your eco, then you're dead. | ||

 ).It was only a matter of time and has been this way for a little bit now ^^. On March 07 2012 07:33 Sated wrote: 2base all-ins are great against Mutalisk builds. They're just not that great against some of the other things Zerg can do. Sure if you get lucky and the zergs being greedy. If he is playing safe he should have a lot of spines when he see's you are goign to do a 2 base all in (which he should see by scouting your base). | ||

If he had been doing something like going fast colossi, or some sort of heavy robo tech the mutas probably would have just killed him dead. But he was prepared and so he made it look super easy. | ||

It's difficult to deal with if you're not ready for it, but if you're ready they shouldn't really be a problem. He already had plenty of cannons, plenty of gates, was making predominantly stalkers and was getting out storm tech. That's what made it so easy. If he had been doing something like going fast colossi, or some sort of heavy robo tech the mutas probably would have just killed him dead. But he was prepared and so he made it look super easy. he did not know it was coming till the last minute...... he only knew after the mutas were out and killing his voids. he just has amazing apm and i agree that the theory of defending mutas is simple and sound but actually executing it is a whole other beast. | ||

Lol what's code s apm. The Merz should be Code S^2 apm. MC just has plenty of good defense and doesn't get caught off guard as a lot of people do, because it's difficult to defend all at once and do the other things that you need to do. | ||

What sets pros apart is their immense and incredibly deep game knowledge on a situational basis, efficient APM is just a product of this. | ||
