Is it just me or did Bomber totally neglect to split/spread his marines in the final engagement? Maybe fatigue was starting to get to him? Trying to siege his tanks, attack from two angles, stim, splitting his vikings BEAUTIFULLY, and macroing like a god all at once isn't enough for the Fungal menace :/ Sorry Bomber's marines...Terran can't do everything at once. But infestors can.
dude i'm all for nerfing infestors to stop MASS INFESTOR play.
But stephano hardly even had any infestors. He just hit perfect fungals with the ones he had.
This game has nothing to do with the reason infestors should be nerfed.

too bad it wasn't just a best of 7 and bomber would have won lol

The pre-broodlord timing hit post-broodlord and rolled over. what? if you watch the vod you'll see that 1/1 had already started before those 3 bunkers. i wasn't listening but i'm afraid day9 might have misled you. of course, there were other mistakes for bomber's loss.
FALSE FALSE FALSE he built his ebay after the bunkers

have you seen how fat infestors and the radius of emp? you get like 2-3 tops if you hit a perfect emp

ummm he was scheduled to go to Bucharest. He was on the original player list.

Well played Stephano. I'd buy that argument, if Terran had Tier 3 that was any use against....well anything. Go watch some of Gumiho's games or any games where the Terran makes anything out of his Starports other than Vikings and Meds. Bomber lost because he went pure marine tank versus a hive composition instead of throwing in Ravens, BCs, Thors, etc. haha good luck getting that kind of composition on ohana there's a reason it's gone from GSL. I don't know which tournament you're watching, but the GSL has always featured Terran champions who knew how to deal wtih the Zerg T3 army. For MMA, it was avoiding direct engagements and exploiting the immobility of brood/infestor with his drops and mini-tactics that eventually wore down the Zerg. For Mvp, it was a heavy mech transition even out of biomech (thors and ravens and whatnot). I don't know what comment you're reading, but what I said has nothing to do with what you answered. You're not going to have the same kind of game on Ohana as you will on Metropolis, Atlantis Spaceship or Whirlwind. So you're saying that Ohana is for some reason impossible to play a late game comp on? Did you even watch the game? Bomber went for a NEAR-ALL-IN PUSH and it FAILED. If he had taken an early 4th CC, made a few PFs in the middle, and worked his way up to controlling his watchtower and his side of the map, he could have easily teched into starport units. But no, he went for the lazy Terran answer, the pre-hive low-tech push. Yeah we should totally rename bomber 'lazy terran'. He's basically bitbybit in disguise.
LOL way to throw in a red herring. No, he's not BitByBit, but there's a reason he hasn't won a GSL. GSL champs are either immensely innovative or mechanically inscrutable. Bomber is neither, especially not "innovative."

Bomber couldn't even take a 4th base I'll tell you how. You don't go for the maxed-out marine-tank push on 3 bases. You don't fall behind on tech and econ due to a fake roach bust. You don't make the mistakes Bomber made while Stephano rushed up to hive tech.
don'ts:
1. play safe vs all ins
2. do a standard prehive timing push
3. let your opponent rush to hive while you make mistakes
am i getting everything? so the margin of error is about, 75 minerals in salvaged bunkers, an unnecessary stim and reading the committal of unit production from a zerg player perfectly all game

i am surprised by all this whining, its not like some no name zerg won the tournament because of infestors, it was still stephano ffs best foreign zerg, its like your not a part of the cool guys if you dont mention something about infestors in every single thread on TL and reddit, just chill a bit...

And it won him the game in the previous series on Ohana, why would he not do it again? Different maps have different optimal play styles.
If he thought it was a better choice to play a turtle style on that map he would have done it, Bomber is known for being one of the first Terrans to do a Raven heavy lategame style. ( find the VODs of Stephano vs Bomber in the GD studio invitational from earlier this year ) I'm sure he's just lazy though, yes.

wtf are you talking about? MMA is from last year, when Zergs didn't know they could only build infestors and win. They were crying about Ghosts and didn't bother.
And only map I've seen Mvp use that is Metropolis.
All in all, I've been watching SC2 since GSL open season 1 in 2010, and only 1-1-1 managed to piss me off like infestors do now. This is straight up unfair, like 1-1-1 against protoss before immortal buff. It needs to go.

Watch the game again, regardless, still not as bad as Stephanos early investment into roaches.
