Well...damn. 19 sentries. Shiiiet. I mean Sniper had resources and time to tech to infestors but theres no way he knew that when Seed is right there threatening to kill him if he doesn't keep building roach/ling. Also maybe ol' fashioned roach/ling drop since he obviously could've got that tech. But lawl if on the surface that doesn't look broken.

 

[bbyybb]

Damn nice play from Seed. That isn't supposed to work like that.

I thought the same thing, I didn't think his strategy was going to be that effective.

Sniper vs MKP

Scary

MKP will refuse to make ghosts and will get rolled with mass infestor.
I hope I'm wrong.

You won't be wrong.

 

[Yoshichan]

Why are they still using this map?

 

[Striek]

Who needs tanks?

 

[Yoshichan]

What fantastic control!

 

[Striek]

Who needs tanks?

Terrans.

 

[Yoshichan]

Terrans.

I laughed so much, I was just about to quote you :lol

 

[Yoshichan]

BATTLE NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET

BLIZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD!!!!

 

[Tacitus_]

Well, that's what you get for not going for infestors and gglords. You don't simply go toe to toe with MKP with ling/bling/muta unless you're a god of micro.

 

[Sumidor]

Ghosts? Pshhhh. Just make Thors.

 

[Yoshichan]

let's do this!

LET'S DO THIS!

Well deserved win for the Zerg.

 

[Yoshichan]

Well deserved, that was a (short) but fantastic game. I'm disappointed by MKPs control when Sniper busted his base (shouldn't have lost that many scv/marines. Also his hellions should've NEVER died against those banelings).

Mid-game SC2 = best SC2.

[V_Arnold]

If all else fails, bunker rush.

Mid-game SC2 = best SC2.

Yep, true.

 

[Aaron]

Don't knock what works... as long as it's for terran.

 

[AdventureRacing]

Very happy to see MKP go through, so entertaining to watch. Hopefully today was a sign that he is going away from mech (which he has been using too much for to long) and is back to showing us his incredible micro.

It's not so much about mid-game or late game. SC2 is just at its best when there is back and forth action. It's why PvZ is such a bad matchup, it's mostly just turtle until either one player allins or until the big late game engagement.

It was smart - a valid strategy. 99% of the times, after 2rax you go double cc. Sniper expected that, and got owned in the mind games department.

 

[V_Arnold]

Eh, it was smart. Nothing actually "failed", Arnold, it's a valid strategy. 99% of the times, after 2rax you go double cc. Sniper expected that, and got owned in the mind games department.

Well, it is my perception issue. For me, 2rax is the lowest form of the SC2 feeling. Same with going banelings in ZVZ. And I am sure we can get a protoss situation like that (Force fields?)

MKP simply knew that snipers economy was behind and so was the creep at his natural. No spines or banes means he couldn't stop the attack. It's a valid strategy and an entertaining one as well.

Banelings in ZvZ is incredibly entertaining and tense, there are few things i enjoy in SC2 more than that. 2 rax is also very exciting and i enjoy seeing it.

 

[Striek]

I don't think 10p is ever really a great idea against terran. You will simply be behind against a wallin, you have to expect a wall. Terran will always pressure with marines forcing you to spend even more of your scant eco on lings even if they do 3 CC behind...

I don't get it.

 

[Aaron]

Expecting Commander Keen to pull out a win tonight, even if they won't call Florida.

Great first game. Leenock was styling over this kespa terran.

Edit: Make that both games.

 

[Sumidor]

Squirtle played bad. What was with that craptastic army?

 

[Sumidor]

Squirtle = Worst Pokemon

 

[derwalde]

 

[Aaron]

Keen could actually be the first out. He's done it before when no one thought he could.

 

[Striek]

Aww I missed Bogus play Leenock. I finally learnt how to play Civ and 3hrs disappeared :3

 

[fanboi]

Which Civ?

Also, when you are tired of that and want to join the grown ups league you should try Europa Universalis 3 and Crusader Kings 2

 

[Striek]

4. I'd play those games but they're a little too Eurotrash for my liking.

Sick game by Keen.

 

[AdventureRacing]

Loving keens play today. Also he is building some weird thing called a ghost acadamy .

Also a lot of turrets.

 

[Sumidor]

Woohoo Leenock!

 

[Striek]

Monster.

 

[Sumidor]

Tasteless was correct.. Squirtle is playing just like Idra.

 

[Mairu]

Any of the games/matches exceptional from last night?

 

[Aaron]

All of Leenock's games for sure. Maybe Keen's first set too.

I hope they found viewers went up.

[HolyCheck]

cant wait for it to go back to gom player

im sick of having my browser at half screen just so i can internet and watch the GSL

 

[Zzoram]

Twitch works better in NA, Own3D works better in EU.

At least that's what I've been told.

 

[Aaron]

Infestors are pretty good.

 

[Zzoram]

Life just slapped Baby with almost pure Infestor, 5 Queens and some speedlings.

 

[Keikaku]

Life cruised through that best-of-3. Wow.

 

[Vaporak]

Didn't realize this was on early, just tuned in to see I'd already missed Life's set. ;_;

Game 1
Baby went for 2 Fact-1 Port BFH Hellions but let it get scouted. Life delayed his 3rd, built Speed Roaches, deflected Baby's attack while busting Baby's defenses at home with slow Banes, about 15 Roaches and Speedlings.

Game 2
Baby did the same thing as G1, Life deflected with Queens and Lings while getting Infestors. Life used the Infestors to kill a lot of SCVs and generally delay Baby. Once the his 3rd was up, Life activated his "July Mode" and swarmed Baby with Lings and Infestors.

 

[Vaporak]

Not sure why Ryung thinks going 1-1-1 then not attacking is a good idea.
