lol im watching both OSC and GSI at the same time xD
|
|
upmagic is at 6, gorush at 12, gorush going for a quick tech while upmagic early secures his fe... oh fuck upmagic is being ran down by speedlings
|
loses many scvs but takes it eventually, although lurkers are on the way... doesn't look too bright for upmagic here. gorush is playing very aggressive.
|
|
Go Go Shauni, hero reporter, what a sacrifice while the rest of the SC world watches the luxurious GSI event :-P
|
upmagic is dead... his scan was upgraded too late and his bunker went down along with all marines. gg now.
|
Spear[Shield] wearing casual clothes not the team ones keke
|
Iris vs Spear over at katrina, Iris is at 9, while Spear at 3.
Spear 'He who laughs last, laughs best' starting with a gateway and Iris with a wallin rax.

if its just a white shirt its team clothing

Spear with an early expand however though, Iris also expanding now; very standard game as a start.
|
Spear is going dtdrop while teching to carriers... however Iris has 2 scans up and some vultures, I think he'll be fine.
|
the dts dropped at the bottom expansion but goliaths intercept the shuttle so that Spear cannot harass well... it did some damage though. Spear moving around the map clearing mines. Berserker already has his 3rd exp up and Spear hasn't even started his...
|
oh man, I'm watching both the GSI and the OSC, but it feel so weird to listen to korean again, when you've been listening to tasteless(commercials going in GSI)
|
Oh sorry, it wasn't carriers but arbiters, one arbiter already out, he's charging into iris exp
|
STATISING LIKE 6 TANKS OMG NICE MOVE BY SPEAR BERSERKER RETREATS AND DIES
|
Iris looks like in deep trouble right now...
|
Spear gosu strat^^ pwning IriS!
|
Iris GGs. making himself look like going for carriers and then the arb with a gosu stasis won the game for Spear.
|
gg by Iris, that was actually a very good display by Spear with his statis rush. Pretty nice to see that in contrast to all these carrier orgies on this map.

wow that looks weird the male commentators are wearing pink while the female is wearing blue

Game started Troy Gorush red@11 Spear Yellow@1
I'll try to report, but its really hard to cause i'm really watching Boxer vs Much
|
it looks like GoRush did a 9 pool as he has a late hatch, and he tries to take out spear's assims
|
Spear quick with SAIRS, hydra den up for gorush, scouting around with zerglings, yes, gorush has an exp up, not that many drones though. Spear killed 2 overlords
|
Spear securing his expo spot with some zeals and a goon, pushing back the hyds a little.
|
Spear STILL Not with an exp up, gorush seeing this and doing 3 sunks, SPEAR HAS BALLS AND CHARGING IN ALTHOUGH hydras manages to save gorush. Very low econ game. NO they do not save gorush. Spear is fucking unbelieveable and rapes expo, killing the main's drones now too. Gorush is at distress. Tapping frustrating on the keyboard after the loss!
|
Spear[Shield] raping gorush :O
|
I must say. Spear is playing very impressive. He raped both Iris and Gorush with EASE. He is now saying a couple of words to the audience. I have no idea what it is but the commentators were laughing slightly.
|

Yeah, that was like the only time I checked the OSC during Gom's commercials (im watching both but GSI more haha)
|
upmagic with wraith expo build, iris with goltank expo. Who cares about school. Hell, it's UpMagiC and the stream started working better again. Upmagic is expanding at 3 killing the geysers at the spot.
|
thx for the reports shauni keep them going!
|
4 facs and dropship out for iris, iris expanding to his close island. Good tank placement by up, damaging some scouting goliaths from iris. Upmagic is killing yet another geyser at 6 so that he will have full control of his expos with wraith opening. interesting.
|
although his plan backfires now when iris snuck in 2 dropships at 3 making upmagic cancel his expo. upmagic now moves onto iris natural with his tanks, it isn't very successful though!
|
middle engaging with tanks wraith vs tankgoldropships. good micro by both, nobody demolished although upmagic came out on top with about 8 tanks vs 3.
|
iris going for another drop but this time to attack the expo at 8... Upmagic is constantly harassing iris dropships making it impossible for him to take out upmagic's exp though. He saves both of them and is now having a bit of an advantage.
|
Although iris is constantly reinforcing with dropships upmagic's 8 o clock exp almost went down.
|
IRIS WITH 4 DROPSHIPS DROPPING UPMAGIC'S MAIN HE IS HOWEVER RAPED AS UPMAGIC SEES THIS VERY EARLY IRIS IS NOW GOING ALLIN IN THE CENTER BRINGING LOTS OF SCVS
|
He doesn't come very far though because upmagic is yet again quick with repositioning his force, wow. his TvT is really good.
|
Iris trying to take 9 o clock exp... he also has 12 now... maybe it's starting to even out. Upmagic is engaging the 12 o clock exp with tankturrets! doesn't do much damage though... upmagic has started reproducing wraiths now from 3 ports.
|
Funny berserker, moves in with ebay to the turreted area at 7 and then proceeds to drop! Good micro by upmagic though, reattacking dropships with turrets, he got 2 of them i think.
|
5 port wraith for upmagic now wow.
|
|
SO MANY WRAITHTANKS WAS ABIT PASSIVE FOR A WHILE BUT LOOKS LIKE.: BCS FOR IRIS?!
|
upmagic killing off 1 o clock exp with masswraiths + tanks however he had to retreat from turrets i think. Upmagic is still at an advantage with one or two more exps than iris.
|
Iris losing very many scvs at 12 and 1 from the constant attacks with tankwraiths. BCS NOW COMING IN TO PLAY I THINK IRIS HAS LIKE 5 ALREADY
|
I SWEAR UPMAGIC HAS LIKE 10 PORTS, he's trying to make iris waste his scans but it doesn't work very well. OH FUCK HOW DID HE GET SO MANY BCS THEY'RE LIKE 10 NOW
|
Upmagic trying to use his mobility to an advantage...they start to exchange expos now. upmagic barely saves 7 o clock but iris kills 3 o clock meanwhile!
|
THATS SERIOUSLY SO MANY CATTLEBRUISERS, with sciencevessels now and a couple of goliaths against masswraiths i wonder why iris doesn't add in valkyries though that'd be kickass.
|
Rofl, what an exchange... ALL EXPOS ARE DEAD FOR BOTH PLAYERS IT ALL COMES DOWN TO MICRO AND RESOURCES LEFT
|
Rofl. You're doing a good job livereporting a TvT by yourself Shauni.
|
upmagic picking off a few stray bcs and scivess are emp-ing the wraiths iris trying to re-expo at the places he demolished
|
The liverports are appreciated

No, really, I enjoy TvT IRIS ENGAGING upmagics main but UPMAGIC HAS LIKE 300 WRAITHS and rapes the BCs ez. IRIS WILL HAVE TO GG.
It's now a rematch between up and gorush...
|
I'm sorry, now I REALLY gotta go to school, I wont be livereporting the last game I want to know the score so bad though!

I hate it that Upmagic plays badly, then he wins some TvT to knock out a Terran that could do better than him, and then loses to the next Zerg / Protoss in his path. Really not much consistancy involved in his play.
edit: Ok, I was happy that he knocked out July, but that is another matter.

magicky starting his rax at his choke, I think it's coming before his depot
looks like 12 pool from rushy
magicky sending the scv out to scout
rushy mining gas already
magicky starts factory

Up walling off his choke, Gorush with pool before hatch and sends zergling scouts up. Upmagic with early gas and a factory.
edit: Sunyveil, as much as I appreciate your reports, could you use proper playernames? magicky and rushy are freaking me out
|
magicky biting his lip... that's going to hurt in a few minutes
magicky going for two starports... looks like the build he used in game 2 vs. Jaedong last OSL
spire starting for rushy... I think wraiths are going to be out before the mutas
magicky building wraiths straight away, not going for control tower first

Hungary11232 Posts
Lair and spire for Gorush, Upmagic still one base and getting 2 port wraiths. *sigh*, did he ever win with that?

Up's wraith's pop
mutas hatching right now from 2 hatcheries
up scores two drone kills, mutas chase wraiths away

katrina is a decent maps as long as toss dont play on it >.<

Wraiths harassing Gorush's expo, get 1-2 drone kills and deny mining there. Addon for starport building, so cloak will be upgrading soon.
|
up scoring some hits with nice wraith micro
cloak should be upgraded soon
lings take down up's supply depot blocking the chgoke
bunker goes down!
up only has a few wraiths left to defend... cloak should be done soon though
looks like up's in trouble, more lings coming in
HOLY COW THAT'S A LOTTA SCOURGE
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Sheesh, this game is so cheesy. Mass Muta should end it soon though.
edit: Upmagic even slightly ahead in supply.
|
|
gorush win!!! Terrans must learn to win with mechanics+builds not just builds ;;
|
fortunately, cloak researches just in time for Up, he's able to defend against this
gorush sneaking some scourge in, trying to pick off the wraths as they pop
low econ game here (up still just has one base), up adding 2 more rax
a good amount of mutas for gorush
lol, up goes on a drone raid with those wraiths
gorush has a lot more mutas than up has wraiths
ovie speed upgraded
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Upmagic having fun microing his wraiths, actually doing good, getting MM out of 4 raxx now, so he tries to transition into standard. He is STILL 1 base against 2.
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Gorush has a scary number of Mutas and still 500 gas. Upmagic 2 groups of rines almost. Finally expanding to his nat.
|
gorush expos to 6, pretty low drone count
good sized mnm force for up
sci facility goes up
wow, gorush raping scvs at up's supply line like crazy
looks like up is killing more drones... he's doing a pretty good job of keeping gorush's econ down
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Gorush actually upgraded attack first for his mutas, which might have been wise anti-wraith, but against rines the armor upgrade is more traditional, especially since Upmagic has them with 1 attack grade already. He is towering his expo now. Gorush getting lurkers to help with defense, Up pushing out with his rine force.
|
looks like the main is being mined out
lurks hatch for gorush, rape marines
this game's over, up just lost his whole force
remenicent of him vs. jaedong, where he's ahead until he loses his entire mnm force
unfortunately, gorush isn't jaedong, and isn't doing a good job with micro in this attack
|
Hungary11232 Posts
omg, Gorush assaults Up's natural and manages to waste all his mutas right there.
|
Hungary11232 Posts
After this waste of units, Upmagic might be ahead. His economy looks fine and Gorush missed the opportunity of upping his mining capacity - he is only just taking 6 as third base.
|
lurkers sneaking into up's nat
ummmmm... this game is lol...
up stops mining, his main is almost mined out
up loses a lot of marines to lurkers
lurkers pour into up's base, but they all die before burrowing because gorush's micro is lol
oh man
this, compared to GSI
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Gorush suicides yet 2 lurkers into MM. A tank is clearing out the lurkers which forced his natural CC to lift off. Looks like a huge competition for wasting units in a creative way. Up killing Rush's 6 expansion.
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Kids, that is what 0-2 rines do to 0-0 zerg units. DONT LET IT HAPPEN.

Way to suck Iris! Terrans dying like flies these days.
|
my god gorush is careless with those lurkers
up coming in to attack 6, looks like he'll take it
up actually looks ahead. wtf.
looks like gorush is going for a lurker drop in up's main
up only mining from his nat, gorush mining from both his nat and main
here comes the doom drop...
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Well, Upmagic tried his best (to die) in this game, going with his trademark 2 port "this will never work" wraith build. But Gorush, being the gentleman he is, is giving him another chance.
|
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Keep the irradiated lurkers unburrowed and close to each other! That's my boy!
|
gorush drops all over the barracks line
up lifts everything
a few lurkers hanging out in up's base now, not really doing much
up sieges a tank to take care of this
all of ups buildings are still floating
up pushing forward now

*sigh* I am giving up trying to understand whats going on here.

its like gorush wants up to win -_-;;

back and fourth game, a lot of micro moves from Up!

gorush sending a huge hydra force down the middle trench, looks like he has hydra speed
lol, up has a cc conveniently floating around there, and uhhh
looks like gorush drops in up's main again
unless I"m mistaken, gorush hasn't attempted to expand again. He should be running low on minerals
it looks like up floated his main cc to the min only
up drops gorush's main and nat with 4 marines each. RAPAGE ENSUES
gorush actually managed to lose his nat hatch to that
gorush takes 4 now, but up has mnm in his main so gorush GGs
upmagic advances to ODT!
|
overlord dancing im the end lol

So what I'm getting from the live reports is that Up still refuses to go for a standard TvZ and does his crappy mech build? Learn some TvZ dammit! Gorush still playing as bad as usual it seems
|
From reports this sounds like a game to avoid at all costs, unless you're really high.
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Up did not even do mech build but patented "2 wraiths into nirvana" build. He didn't even do something smart like vulture harass -> wraith, which might have worked, but block off his choke, tech to Wraiths, and hope the zerg does not notice. The only thing which Gorush did wrong is trying to end it too quickly, had he built on his economic advantage, he would have won so easily.
|
Hungary11232 Posts
Well, don't get me wrong, Upmagic DID show some nice micro here and there, but if such moves allow you to stay in the game, the other player is usually doing something wrong.
|
Thanks for the live reports, great job, much appreciated! Gj spear, geez. All sorts of protoss are popping up, power of Katrina.
|
Can't imagine what the OSC playoffs are going to be like. Can't even be assured Frozean won't sneak into it later on.
Hate Katrina so much. Not that I don't like Protoss players advancing... but not at the cost of players who played better and who are more entertaining to watch.
Nal_rA and Reach seem to be about the only players who haven't capatilised on it.
|
Katrina is serving as a springboard many toss don't seem to deserve. Disappointing, but at least upmagic made it.
|
katrina.... it's not progaming... imba and stupid toss map... i can't understand how it still can be played in progaming leagues...

Up always seems to induce hasty counter-strategies from his opponents with his unorthodox builds and just wait for them to make mistakes.

I guess you guys are sore cause Iris lost on Katrina? Did you even watch that game? In my opinion, the only thing that makes it favor Protoss greatly is because of the usefulness of carriers and perhaps reavers (but vulture drops is just as good). Terran can wall, backexpo is just as good for Terran as for Protoss.
Spear didn't tech to carriers, he perfected a 2 base strategy which went from dtdrop into an early arbiter. Iris was being a bit too gredy, trying to take his 3rd very early plus he clumped his tanks and didn't expect the arbiter tech. Spear had great timing in that attack, Iris lost because he played worse than him - not because of Katrina. Stop whining every time there's a TvP on this map. There are difficulties for Terran sure, but Katrina is not as 'autowin' as some of you may think. Not even with carriers. Just look how easy Flash dismantled Anytime there, one of the best PvT players in the world.
Spear played very inspiring and smart in both games, I wouldn't be surprised if he actually makes it far some day. If not this OSL then maybe next one!
|
Oh and I'm so happy Up made it His TvT is good as hell, but I'm always nervous as hell as soon as he plays a TvZ. It's not outright 'bad', he usually wins against all but the top zergs but... his m&m control can sometimes be abysmal. Good thing he finally came to his senses and opened with a tech build.

If not this OSL then maybe next one! flash just assumed that anytime was going carriers then went out with a timing push based on that. if anytime wasnt then flash would have been run into the ground with his unit choices
+ Show Spoiler [today's GSI games] +just look at today's nada vs much if you want to see how much of an awful map katrina is. nada would have been wayyyyyyyy ahead if not for the fact that much had carriers on katrina and could freely move his carriers around tearing nada's shit up while nada couldnt do anything about it at all
iris was playing in a way to prepare for the eventual carriers and spear used that against him. its definitely a problem with the map when terran players have to make these assumptions and take such huge risks that get them killed if theyre wrong
|
Dangit GoRush, I was hoping you would finally come out of your slump, just like I was hoping for so many other players who completely failed me (NaDa, Savior, Midas etc.). Who is this Spear guy though? In TLPD, hes 1-3 with losses to people like 910, and in this group he just bowled through Iris and GoRush with incredible ease (it looked like A player vs C player gg no re). Hopefully we'll see some good stuff out of him, this is the first toss since Nal_Ra and Reach I've liked.

THE MAGICIAN OF TERRAN FIGHTING~

People complain about Katrina because it isn't balanced, not because they're sore... Though they prolly are sore as well
TvZ: 17-12 (58.6%) ZvP: 13-27 (32.5%) PvT: 23-7 (76.7%)
Now, I don't care how well Spear played, or x y z the protoss player was good. That's cool. Those stats above are not cool and those are the TL Database stats for Katrina...
