It was disappointing analysis because Tasteless played Protoss back in the day AND he could see the Terran side in this game. If Terran goes 2 Fac against Protoss and hasn't done any damage to Protoss economy by that stage in the game, AND doesn't even have a CC started, all Terran can do is all-in and pray the Protoss didn't have the econ to squeeze out DT tech on the side. There's no way Terran can then also afford to build Academy + Scan (plus you'd only have one scanner in this situation), given how many units Last lost during earlier engagements. As it turned out, Bisu expanded early enough to not only have plenty of room to squeeze out DTs but Robo tech too. That's a textbook victory path for Protoss. This game was completely over by the time Last finally killed the proxy buildings and for the commentators to say he didn't do enough damage is comical. The sloppy battle micro cost Last any chance to win that game. | ||

I feel like going 2 fact was a reasonable decision in theory - the gateway and pylon are so close to his base and if he can take those out he should have a pretty successful push that should at least pay for itself, and then he can gain an even bigger lead. Played out horribly, though. A higher risk higher reward strategy, but it could still have been a good decision. | ||

Odds that mines kill a DT in that situation is much less than the probability the mines just end up backfiring and killing what's left of your army. If anything Bisu can likely sacrifice a DT or Zealot to mine drag kill all the Marines (very hard to avoid as Terran). A Protoss has to fuck up multiple different things while Terran plays perfectly to kill even a single DT in that situation, and more DTs and Shuttles can be made while you stall. | ||

Point is there are locations where proxies are more or less likely, if you are going to scout a likely location, scout it entirely. You can't scout every location though | ||

Some guys just "have it" when it comes to being a winner. But in terms of overall skill level / polish in play, hero and Effort are both better bets than Jaedong for the time being. | ||

You could make good cases for at least six of the players having a good shot at winning it all... Bisu, Stork, Best, Flash (yep, think he'll advance), Zero, Jaedong. Some really good games to come. | ||

Shouldn't you also remove the results of the best of the players from the other respective races in that case? There's an easy way to decide to gauge the balance of the map that was played in the ProLeague. Both Benzene and Circuit Breaker was played in the Shinhan 2010/2011 ProLeague. In this particular season of the ProLeague, Benzene had a lot more zerg versus zerg (19), and protoss versus protoss (18) matches than terran versus terran (5). Despite the good terran results had against zergs in the map, perhaps the level difficulty terrans had against protoss makes this a bad map for terrans. Sea was very vocal about the level of imbalance against terrans in this particular map. For the 2010/2011 ProLeague season, Circuit Breaker had a more balanced range of mirror match-ups than Benzene, although terran versus terran (31) was more frequent than either protoss versus protoss (18), or zerg versus zerg (11). It seems terran is slightly more favourable in the eyes of the players and coaches in this map, or maybe just more terran friendly than the other maps used in that season of ProLeague. Not a such a good map for the zerg race it seems. It's harder to find an objective measure of balance for Eye of the Storm, since it was never used in the ProLeague, but it seems to be the typical T>Z>P>T map. Not such a good map for the zerg race. Considering all three maps are not easy for terran players when playing versus protoss, and we have basically only terran and protoss players in the round of 16, isn't it kind of obvious why terrans are struggling? It's not necessarily a map pool problem, perhaps it's a racial distribution problem. There are basically only two races involved, and one is favoured over the other. What now? You want the terran race to be favoured over protoss, as well as being generally favoured over zerg? | ||

Jaedong on balanced maps is overpowered. | ||

I think that was the main mistake. edit: It seems rush also didn't pay any attention to the spawning pool timing? I looked like he had no idea the 3rd hatchery existed until 2 lings attack his incoming marines from the back. Not sure what the correct decision making is if you know hero's getting 3 hatcheries (split your marines early on or ignore the third hatchery like he did this game). I think you can probably get your first 6 or so marines towards the natural and then the subsequent marines to the third and kill both of them at the same time. The bunker and the couple of scvs can after all defend against a lot of zerglings and drones at the same time, and you don't need that many marines to kill a single lone hatchery even with lings spawning from it. | ||

Hero was really on fire today. Even more impressive that Bisu won vs him the way he did. That was insane. Hero's Last game vs Last was so damn solid. Last never saw the light in that game. I must say I really liked Tasteless' casting. He did far better than I expected, very pleasing. | ||

hero also played really solid that last game against Last. Got a third up, defended really well, caught Last just as he was transitioning with multiple drops etc... Aside from his mutalisk mishap, it was like a textbook example of how to deal with mech (basically, attack at the best timing with 400+ apm lol). Great games all around. Sad to see Last knocked out though and never imagined that we'll have zero terrans advancing to the Ro8 so far, unbelievable. I'm hoping both Flash and Sea advance! edit: that hero vs rush game though. As someone mentioned, Rush had 5 idle marines at least and was only attacking the exp with 3 other ones. He could've easily finished it off faster and attacked the main. Then a bunker at his main+several marines and lift rax into main or something. hero would've been in trouble if his main was razed and he lost most of his drones so he would've been forced to all-in potentially while Rush could've defended. After all, if he was dry on the mineral count, that hidden hatchery wouldn't have produced anything for a long while. Given, Rush wasn't expecting that hidden third and only scouted it after seeing those 2 lings attack his marines. | ||

Normal 8 Rax however is alot better vs 3 hatch before pool. In Rush's case, he needed to go straight from natural to behind main mineral line while making a bunker at home I think... | ||

Very good play from Hero. Well, to be fair, Hero was very far ahead when Last had his contain up, started to expand and to transition to mech. Because of that Hero was able to break the contain and contest the 4 bases before they were up and running and before Last had a significant number of mech units. Nontheless, Hero reacted perfectly and played really solid all the way to the end. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + http://pgr21.com/pb/pb.php?id=free2&no=60538 The above video is testing 3 hatchery before spawning pool, each on a separate mineral field so that it isn't satisfiying enough for the terran to destroy just one hatchery with the BBS build (whereas it would lead to an advantage for terran if it was just simply 8 rax). Others have tested too, including random amateur players versus Rush, and ZerO versus Rush (switching races to make sure). In the case of terrans trying to finish the zerg by going straight for the jugular instead of playing optimally, zerg players (whether it is ZerO, an amateur player, or Rush himelf) have won in all cases. TheRock was the first terran player to win in these tests by playing smart with the hindsight that trying to end the game head on simply does not work if the zerg buys time with drones, and doesn't mess up the drone and zergling micromanagement by too much (over ten games). Under the assumption of the following, the zerg wins. 1. The map is Benzene (and the zerg needs to spawn at 1 o'clock due to the mineral placements giving the zergs a slight timing advantage) 2. Terran goes for BBS (not early barracks) and tries to end the game (instead of containing the zerg) 3. Zerg goes for three hatchery before pool on three separate mineral fields (to lure the terran into playing over aggressively). | ||

Rush held his Marines back to bait Hero into trying to defend with pure zerglings. It appears that Rush never scouted the pool timing so he was assuming it was a regular 12 hatch. If he had scouted and known the slow timing, he probably would have gone straight for the drones which would've been a better play. So failure to scout the pool timing means he thought taking the natural would be enough. He hid his Marines hoping that hero would skimp on the sunken and try to defend with lings. Which he did. Unfortunately, the extra hatch meant Hero could outproduce Rush's army even after losing a lot of drones. In actuality, Rush needed to take down the drones at the start of the rush instead of focusing the hatchery. If he did, he could have taken advantage of the bigger timing window given by the late pool. TLDR: scout the pool timing kids. Edit: Actually the above video is pretty convincing. One thing, did they test with a bunker in the main? I feel like that would make a huge gigantic difference. | ||
