Any combination of Midas/Sea/Light will do for me. After all, it means rock won't be able to make fire
|
Sea/Midas
I'd like Steve to make another OSL Anal . . . ysis when Sea makes it in.
^,_________,^
|
I agree about Midas and Sea. Both are very strong players. Light and Rock will present no challenge to them.
|
Midas and Sea
Light's TvT is horrible, won't beat Sea or Midas
|
Light and Sea even though I rather Midas win instead of Light. Poor Rock lol he's gonna get rocked pretty hard being stuck between a rock(himself!) and a hard place(Sea).
|
Rock fighting, i'm a WeMade fan
|
|
Wait. What am I saying. I mean Midas and Sea. I'm going to edit my above post. I just got done watching a lot of Light VODs so his name was bouncing around in my head. I agree with Sunyveil, Light's TvT isn't so hot.
|
|
|
i'll be the odd one in the pool and say rock/sea.
|
MBC sweeps, could see Midas pulling an upset, Rock?, he'll try hard.
Edit: If you look at Light's TvT statistic they've been good recently, he has like 8 losses from early in his career. His TvT was good enough to beat Sea last ODT, as FakeSteve remembers well.

its true, last ODT Sea lost to DarkElf and Light. It calms me to look at his TvT info on the TLPD though, he's won 11 of his last 12.

I think there will be an upset win by Rock, gut feeling but Sea will go straight through!

as bad as Rock is, he must scare the living shit out of any fan of a terran
i mean the guy is guaranteed to do a carrier rush, it HAS to connect a few times
|
Light is 9-3 in his last few tvts, i'd hardly call that horrible.
|
|
He was once heralded as the future of protoss. But he isn't the same without the chin.
Light 3. Midas 12.
|
|
Light with fast rax marine rush. Forces Midas to pull 6 or so scvs.
Light pressing but Midas stopped by raping 2 rines.
Wow, I cannot believe I did that.
|

If two terrans advance today, we will have a fucking balanced-as OSL (5 Terrans, 6 Zergs, 5 Protosses).
|
ok i know this isn't the thread for this, but its really frustrating. i got daumplayer to work and im playing the matches, but the buffer keeps reseting like it paues the match every 30 seconds or so for about 5 seconds. I figured out how to lower the quality for GOMplayer so it would stop that, does anyone know how to do it for daum ?
|
Light made a bunker but Midas vults slip by and has killed some scvs. Not good for light who opened 8rax.
Light goes 2 port wraith.
|
Midas went Fact port btw, and his wraiths are... ... -_-;; in the sky while lights were shot down. Midas' CC is up faster and the typical armory acad response is coming.
Light needs to answer with something...
|
|
Midas made a valkyrie.... that gets raped.
The two cloaked wraiths get about 5? scv kills at the nat before killing a valk and dying.
Midas has another valk to replace that one... I .. dunno what to say about a valk -_-;;
|
51134 Posts
haha midas pulled something out of light's book
|
|
|
2 valks, Light loses his rax.
Midas is moving his units from front nat to main etc.
Then a 4 goli drop to light's nat. Rapes a tank, stops mining, few scvs, and a wraith or so I think.
Midas also expoin to his front nat now.
|
LOL, Valks get raped by wraiths. 2v3 or so, 0 wraith loss. T.T Valks suck.

Valks dont suck THEY ARE THE FUTURE OF TERRAN Its just sometimes they dont fire...
|
Why do people keep going Valks now?
They haven't stopped sucking...
|
Midas moving around about 10 tanks from his nat to Light's nat and back and forth.
Light grabs the bottom right base but Midas' expo is faster, and his map location is far superior too.
|

Ahh so... 4 valks now rape 5-6 wraiths. 1 valk lives tho, so the cost sorta sucked still. But yeah, neither player has shit for air now.

Midas is expanding leftwards while pressing light at his 3rd natural.
Typical gay katrina location imba.
I always feel bad for 3 terran T.T
|

Such a shame Valks didn't get their 'afterburner' ability.
|
Some scv loss at bottom right for light as some harass is cleared by scvs.
Then a follow up 2 goli tank drop to clear more scvs.
|
Game is so over. Midas is working off about 5 gas.
Light can barely barely hold 3. Midas had his sci facility about 4 minutes ago and light is just gettin his. Just to give you an idea in gas..
Yup.. Light GGs
|
Light is having a hard time here.
|
|
Midas reveals 20 wraiths and Light ggs immediately
|
Now Midas Time to choke, please lose
|
Swift rape.
Super Terran Light didn't look so good there. His 8 rax took econ damage while Midas just shrugged off the marine rush. Then his econ fell behind as wraiths failed and he never even fought back once. He slowly just bent Midas' way.
Such is the way of TvT 12 v 3 Katrina.
|
This is the match I really wanted to see. Rock vs Sea. LOL. Why Rock? I dunno.. I hope he wins and does a flying kick.

|
in an attempt to improve his tvt, midas went to the bnet forums where he found a new source of power for the terran race - mass valks. it was a strategy suggested by a mysterious western gosu by the name of nexus who went 100-0 in bnet with it. the terran race may now rejoice with the hope given to it by the prophet nexus.
|
Enfant terrible is not losing to Caveman.(I hope)
|
In the end, I think the valk goli combo worked out pretty well cuz Light's wraiths were always to damage to properly harass which he had to ... I dunno, those positions are really gay. 3 o clock is at such a stupid disadvantage, and with lights econ and wraith both shut down so early, it was too hard. I bet if Midas was better, the game coulda ended sooner. Typical drag it on style by Midas i think.

Rock Time to pull an upset 1base carrier or mass scout=insta win

He also had a bulldog style hit with a 5 gate. That pretty much negates Sea's 3rd base advantage for a very long time making their econs similar enough.

sea scanned the carriers, you can see the fear in his eyes

Unless Rock accidently runs all his probes into a tank line or something, I don't see Sea winning... but it's rock.. O u never know It's so epic!

Don't think Sea expected the quick 10 goon 1 shuttle attack, that slowed him down a lot. Nice play from Rock !

No. Bad Stream.
Rock is bottom, Midas is top.
Gas rushed. Rock gateway finishes.

Oh man, this coming MSL season is going to be Terran hell, Katrina for P's to murder them on, Blue Storm for Z's to murder them on.

Midas with a really whacky open wall and is making consntant rines from 1 rax clearin the gas rush.
2 Zealot marches towards Midas but SCV + Marines have the choke.

I think katrina replaces python for MSL aswell now.

Rock has expanded and is mining. Midas's CC is building and his mnmfirebat squad moves in.
But Rock runs probes and more goons from gates hold.
|
He's doing a good job stalling Rock from mining the expo though.
But Goon range rapes this nonsense.

Rock lost to Frozean on Katrina pretty badly
then he goes and beats Sea
that makes sense if you use caveman logic

I'm surprised Rock hasn't gone carriers yet

4 gate + Pylon wall at min nat to prepare for expo. Goons take spots on the dark blue ramp.
Midas moves with 4 tanks, a few mnm and vultures and safely starts up his min nat.
|
Citadel, Air (atk?) upgrade, 2 stargate, Fleet beacon, all warping in.
Midas setting up a center line with bunker merines and turrets. Tanks and mines too.
I hope Rock blows up all his goons. PLZ, just ONE TIME tonight.

Rock suicides a bunch of zealots into the wall, loses one of his carriers to literally the last missile as it runs.

Well, I didn't see a million goons die.
I did see a lot of LOTS of zealots die.. Rock butchered that center charge horribly and killed so little.
But 4 star - -

Midas's metal push is slowly moving up to Rock's dark plataeau.
0-0-0 + Upgraded Carriers. 2-1 Metal.

Wow, Midas does the ironwall shit he always does so well> Blows rocks min nat up. HERE COMES ROCK, I sense.. dying goons by the millions soon. he's doing those desperate rufegee toss run arounds atm.

holy shit four star carriers results in a LOT of carriers

i really wanna see Rocks fp.

YESSSSSSS Mines kill tons of goons. Blue soup er where.
Tanks blow Rocks' 12 expo up too now.
But in the sky is a parade or something. So many blimps.
|
Carriers enter Midas's main. Factories under attack. Midas counter pushing.
Also what was left of the run around found its way into Midas' main
Rock only has far corner base and a drying nat.
Midas has... Carriers in his base.
But... He's mining.

As light runs, he loses a lot of shit. Now it looks bad for Light.. but he just went 3 shop !?

Midas played Savior, Anytime, Xellos, Oov, etc all in series
he's made the semis and advanced far in starleagues
if i had to compare career's i'd say Midas is ahead right now, he at least qualifies and gets somewhere in Starleagues
no idea about the future though, Sea is still young
|
Light starts his 4th While Sea gets rid of lights scouts on his side and Climbs from center to the path between center and 12 expo.
|
Sea does a drop ferry drop into Light's main from 6 and does some damage. Light clears it slowly with 1 wraith.
Sea also grabs 6.
And he also match his 4th base prior sometime in between my eyes opening and clsing and stuff blowing up.. and stuff.
|
|
Light has a lot of tanks and dropships now.
More than Sea it looks like.
And he advances center.
|
Pulls back and..... I dunno, light should do something with the 5 ships he has and send em somewhere.

As in, the rate at which they got their 3rd gases made the game pretty even til then with Sea coming off worse for the drop by losing ships/gas.

Light drops from 12 to Sea's main and hurts. Yes, it hurts. Depots and stuff die.

No.. this reminds me of Light vs Hwasin on persona.. 87 minutes?..
Light's going wraiths, just like on persona, except now he'll be up against Valks..
Also.. seeing valks twice in the same night (being used well) is kindof unsettling.

it reminds me of oov vs boxer on RoV BC won though

BC/valks always seem to win especially on this map. Let's see if it's any different.

BCs and Valkyries is nice .

2 succesfull locks go, 1 bc dies
|
|
medics to the rescue edit: this is like the broodwar campaign
|
this is exciting... yes it is!!
|
light manages to kill 1 BC with lockdown, his first kill in 7-8 minutes
|
sea with gosu medic! he restorates the lockdown
|
Medics restoring lockdown Man this is an amazing match From Rock making fire to this
|
I've never seen restore beeing used before..
|
light is able to cast 7 lockdowns at once but he doesnt reach the units to kill them
|
Sigh.
Fuck Light.
Light sucks. Fuck Light. How do you have ghosts for this long and not show me a nuke nor kill anything in 15 minutes.
I hate you Super Terran User Light.

nice ambush by light, kills several bcs and valks
|
i think got 20-30 freekills with yamato now. mainly gols/tanks/turrets
|
light ahead in supply, but sea still much richer and that will probably compensate
|
wow all valks are dead ^^
|
|
Sea will win if things continue at this rate. He knew and conserved better. Well played kiddo.
|
light sacrifices a vessel to emp some bcs
|
all mins on the map are empty now
|
lol, nuclear launchm ghost killed not too promptly by sea
|
Nuke attemps, etc etc.. blah blah..
Light has 100-200 gas fluxuating depleted vespene.
Sea is ballin at 3k+
|
a bomb actually falls @ 6 o'clock killing 2 tanks and 3 towers
|
nuke costs more than he is gaining... :D
|
light with 0.02k gas left sea with 2k gas
|
I don't see why anyone chooses to go mass wraiths when the other makes BC's/valks. There's just no advantage.
|
I sense a d+matrix nuke moment.
|
only firebats left to use in this match then? and irridate.
|
If sea only knew light had no gas, he'd attack ~_~
|
mass wraithocide followed by gg
|
Well that nuke looked like it was going to drop on all of Sea's stuff for about 5 seconds hahaha. Oh my. :d
|
Light knew it was over when he clicked build wraith. Yamato stalemate > light.
|
What a painful game for those guys.
Sea can't lose now. OMG if Sea loses to Midas, Light will be so pissed!
|
Light just lost two matches to Valks today. Ouch
|
was it anytime in the audience?
|
can this end already pls...

hahahahahahaha
that was such a fun game! kinda slow paced but so many abilities
|
|
desperation from light.. he knew the yamatos would win the game.
|
good thing that OSL has few terrans to play TvT
|
|
and now on to another awesome game from the exciting world of tvt!
|
I pray this one isnt 1 hour +
|
Wow I hate Rock, this sucks. I wanted Sea and Midas to both advance, I'm fucking pissed.
|
Hour plus long TvT is painful to watch.
|
Who here knew that you could restore lockdown...
And be honest.
|
I don't understand how people can hate games like that? That was freakin' art.. 5/5.

Been done prior a few times and many recent micro UMS have restore micro scenarios.
Midas and Sea will probably be very long also -_-;;
|
it's not art, 1/25 tvt's end up in wraiths vs bc. you've seen one bc/wraith stalemate, you've seen them all.
|
That's on Blue Storm. That map tends to lead to a very lame late game TvT due to the nature of the even split resources.

The worst ones are BC vs. BC stalemates. At least with BC vs. wraith you know in another half hour or hour the BCs will wear down the other guy with yamato.

If you mean using a medic to use restore on a unit that was lockdowned with a ghost, then I think a lot of people here knew it, since it was in a recent game, within a month ago.
|
I like Sea a lot but I really hope Midas wins, We need to cheer and cry and laugh with this guy in the OSL again. Sea can win the MSL.
|
Wow, I've never seen it.. I apologize v_v..
Also, @novathefeared
Light beat Hwasin in a Wraiths vs BC on persona.. I guess the conditions were a little different but maybe that's why he went wraiths?
|
midas yellow sea brown
go sea
|
I wanted both these players to advance!
WHY, ROCK, WHY DO YOU TORMENT US SO?!
Ahem, Sea pls win, thx. MSL Ro16 + OSL = ^________^
|
I was hoping both Sea and Midas would make it through, but I'll be happy with either.
|
bit off-topic, but why doesnt midas wear a beanie and why do all the other skt1 guys wear beanies? ive been wondering about that for a while now ^^
|
Hahaha, if Midas wins, Sea went through that TvT for nothing.
|
If Sea wins, .... nice stamina.
Yellow, Midas, Xenosky. Brown, Sea, RoV.
|
Sea suffers from heavy handsweat or why does he wipe his hands all the time?

OSL Makeup:
Terran: FrOzean, Flash, XellOs, Midas/Sea Zerg: Jaedong, July, Rumble, Luxury, Savior, Yellow[ArnC] Protoss: Stork, Bisu, Much, BackHo, Best, Rock
What a crappy OSL this is going to be
|
so is it finally sea vs midas?
|
Jaedong/Flash/Savior/Much/Bisu/Stork/ and whoever advances from this game will be nice to watch. The finals could be really nice if the right players make it.
|
July is in this OSL so it can't be that bad.
|
FrOzean, Rumble, Best and Rock should die before osl. HOW THE FUCK ROCK 2-0 HOW? WTF MAN THIS IS ROCK JUST BULLSHIT.

If you're a Protoss fan you should be happy though with Stork, Bisu, Much, plus 3 other dudes; Rock -.-;.

Dude, July has enough star power to make a league better with just his presence. You rather have the Yellow/Luxury twins than July?

Actually SKT1 team shaved their heads because they were doing so poorly in proleague. Midas didn't because there's a Korean tradition where you can't shave your head after your father's death for some amount of time. The T1 team wears beanies because their sponsor, SKTelecom, doesn't allow shaved heads to be displayed in public.
Something like that
|
There's a winner in the bottom of the sea There's a winner in the bottom of the sea There's a winner, there's a winner in the bottom of the Sea[Shield]!
|
I think Sea's winning, his macro's superb, he got delayed at the start, but somehow he's winning now.
|
yeah sea is in the lead for sure.

iirc, there was a korean who translated that the head shaving by the coaching staff was in response to their poor results from their players and as a motivational tool and that it was only coincidental that it was around the death of Midas' father, and the players wanted to follow in order to motivate themselves too However that may be why he is allowed a pass.
iloveoov interview after winning after shaving
|
Yeah... he defended Midas's first drop superbly and he's done a good job of denying expos while taking quite a few.
|
|
Well, Midas GGed after running his remaining dropships into a turret cluster at the Sea's 8 o'clock expo. Sea looks really happy that it's over.

there we go
no fucking carrier hell map or teammate tvt is gonna keep my boy from OSL this time
|
Actually I just looked at the last OSL players and they actually sucked worse than this OSL's, it was 9 terrans last OSL, mostly mediocre, last OSL was only good because the right players advanced and all the crappy terrans were eliminated. The 3 Protoss from last OSL all returned and 3/4 Zerg, not GGPlay, returned as well. We've had enough Terran for too long anyway. Although I wouldn't have minded taking out a zerg and protoss or two to let in people like Nada, Sea/Midas (both), and Iris.

I wish there was like a edit button to the liquid bet like 2 days prior to the match >.> I picked light w/o knowing 8[[ I went from being ranked 12th to 74 because of this group match argha

Sea will get eliminated soon anyway, no worries. Midas got the bad position and had to keep a decent reserve force near his main at all times so he couldn't gain map control and was out-macroed.
As for the reason why they wear beanies, I think it's just because they have short hair and it's cold.

Nicely done by sea
however I couldnt help but notice how terrible midas looks, poor kid

I'm pretty happy that Midas didn't in OSL now.

Why did Midas have to keep a decent reserve force at his back constantly (I'll let you try to figure this out)? Map position had nothing to do with that.

Uh, no, you're the joke. Midas's position makes him vulnerable to drops to his main, or siege from low ground and drop in the main. Midas didn't have to keep troops there, but he'd be at a serious strategic disadvantage otherwise for the entire game. Had Midas been in some other position, he would be able to expand and reinforce his bases more easily since he gained a slight economic advantage with his vulture play.
I would rather had Midas advance since he at least makes a difference and produces interesting games. Sea's arsenal is always 1 something followed by CC. From all of his games, he doesn't think about killing his opponent, but how to build more CC's and out-last/attrition his opponent, like the last game. It gets results, but it's the gayest way of playing Terran.
|
Damned ooga-booga caveman and his flint smashing two-gate Carriers. Ah well, at least it'll make this OSL easier for Bisu/Sea if they get to the semifinals.
|
You mean fast expo which is the most common build in all the mus besides PvP and expanding and waiting for his opponent to make a mistake? Yeah thats a gay way of playing the game.

even though we all know the map position that midas got on monghwan II gives midas a disadvantage, but when you said sea played terran a gay way is totally freaking wrong to the core, i mean his play may not be as interesting as boxer or other terran ( most are boring) but his macro is superb and his micro is close to art, by building CC which means lots of expanding, he is going for a heavy macro oriented game like he always ( or most terran again) does. I don't see how this is called gay.

mmm many of the hottest terrans are missing from this OSL, mainly upmagic, light and iris, i'm pretty sure this won't be a terran OSL

hmm when recently OSL was a terran OSL? Terrans in the past have been the majority in the ro16 every time but fail harder in that round. This time around they are the minority in the ro16. Terrans are definitely slumping in the OSL; 3 Zerg OSL wins in a row too. Zerg Powah.

I don't get it, they're all exactly the same. What am I missing here, I seriously can't find anything that would be a disadvantage in any way.
ps FUCK YEAH ROCK (and also grats to sea I guess, well done I love your TvZ so much) pps Haha I oh man I just watched rock's games I can't believe he 2base carrier'ed TWICE hahaha now I love him even more.
|
man,I watched both rock game and i was like wtf? Game 1 sea suck + bad position Game 2 midas did everything right and got walked over by mass carrier, I don't understand.
|
so, so unfair everyone knows exactly what hes going to do every game and yet he can still steal a good player's spot in osl with it.
|
I still don't get why 12 on Katrina sucks?
|
katrina in general sucks, and clockwise/counterclockwise spots gives positional advantages in some matchups. but i dont know why 12 in particular is bad
