thsi is going to be a shitty round T_T
|
Ya, not really interesting, but I'm gonna watch noneheless. ;p
|
I think the games will be good. The players aren't very marquee but still.
|
Lol, I don't now why I stayed up for this group -_-. But hopefully we'll see some good games!
|
So many empty seats. Yea... the only notable player here is Kal. He'd better make it through.
|
Som1 will make some live reports ?
|
ForGG is notable...lecaf's third best proleague preformer is not bad at all

Ahahahaha.
No, but seriously, fOrGG is pretty good.
|
Ok the map is tiamat. Kal is at 11, Forgg At 5. Kal opened with a very hardcore 2 gate core build. Second gate was built before the second pylon. ForGG opened 12 rax 12 gas fact --> rine pump --> scout when fact started. First goon out, forgg hiding an scv in the corner. Kal finds it but forgg sees the robo. Looks like the early 2nd gate was just a fake out. Kal didnt get range.
|
Kal pressures with his first 2 goons. Sees 4 marines and a tank at the ramp and probably suspects Forgg is going 1 fact pump --> cc --> siege. And he would be right
|
Kal prepares a quick reaver and starts his expo right after. ForGG takes a look around with his first 2 tanks and 4 marines and the 2 goons dance back.
|
The reaver is out and in the shuttle but ForGG's timing is good and his turrets were started right after the shuttle loaded up.
|
Kal double expands to the bottom left base. The shuttle arrives at the terran base but runs into very well placed turrets and turns around without even dropping anything.

forGG?
|
LOL forGG builds a bunch of barracks in base! Going for biomech
|
Haha, he waits until after he sees reavers to go for this? Wooow.
|
Ok Kal decides to sacrifice 2 zeals to kill a tank and gain a slight amount of recon. OOoooo ForGG puts up 5 more rax at once after sealing his base off from scouting with turrets. Im noticing a trend in tvp with 1 fact cc biomech timing attacks.
|
6 Rax lol. Now im rooting for him even if it fucks up my betting

The reaver blocks the s cv much like a nfl lineblocker would block my 80 year o ld grandmother from scoring a touch down.

Still incredibly ballsy if you ask me!
|
Massive MnM tank force marching across the map...
|
2 shuttles ready and looking to harass. Kal has 6 gates or so..maybe 7 and citadel is done. ForGG has 7 rax now. Hes moving out. Kal there with 2 zeals a goon and areaver. The goon and zeals die but the reaver escapes. One tank dies. Some brief staling tactics from Kal as the ball moves on., leap frogging tanks into the center. Zeal speed ready!
|
Kal is fucked. Reaver is dead
|
|
Kal showing fantastic micro. Sacing one speed zeal at a time , then flying in with reaver for nicely placed scarabs. KAL MOVES IN! THE MNM BALL IS HUGE! The weakness of reavers is showing as kal is having trouble stopping this push. ANother reaver arrives JUST in time and the ball is stopped for now. Another gateway wave of speed zeals and somemore FANTASTIC reaver micro save kal yet again. The reaver is massacring mnm now. Forgg was a little sloppy there.

Lol.
And ballsy game. :D
|
ForGG does not have the tanks! LOL reaver sniped by 1 rine Holyshit forgg has great multitask. Hes making this close 2 base to 3. WOW INTENSE. Kal BARELY FUCKINGLIVES WITH A SHUTTLE + 2 REAVERS SAVING HIM AT THE LAST SECOND FROM HIM LOSING HIS NEXUS. BUT T HEN LOSES HIS SHUTTLE + REAVER!
|
Omgggg this is so intense. lol. I think ForGG has it now... just as i type that 2 reavers kill 20 marines... lol.
Kal will win.
But as I type that 30 more marines show up ...omg another shuttle and reaver go down. ForGG seems to be winning...but now new zealots show up. BUT MORE MARINES FROM FORGG!!! lol. So crazy. Units keep streaming in for both sides. Ommmmgggg... ForGG needs to kill that nexus and run out. As I typed that NEXUS DOWN
|
|
commentators going crazy lol :D
|

fuck, forgg's macro is just crazy
|
Kal out of minerals...
Starts to retake his 3rd expansion but his 2nd has to be cancelled as a bunch of MnM plus a tank show up.
Kal really needed storm much earlier but he is taking advantage of chokes and reavers to kill tons of marines... I think Kal has lost though. Marines are in the base. Robotics is down. This has to be GG
|
|
|
Kal loses his nat nexus but looks like he may finally push back the terran army. T still at 2 base but hes moving down to kal's only expansion to the south. He stopped mining t here with a group of mnm. Kal's starting his nat again BUt ForGGs reenforcements stop that asap. Kal clears the mnm from his second expo! Holy shit forgg is RIGHT at kals ramp and hes fucking breakingit! Kal brings his army back from his 2nd nat but its not enough. Templar tech is done with dt but forgg has the scans. The dts fall. Kal desperately trying to hold..but its hopeless. ForGG wins with a great build. He did a very nice job of dudding scarabs in the later battles.
|
That 30 kill reaver is just sitting down there, poor guy.
Kal now ggs... that was utterly insane.
|
|
I'm sure ForGG had that build prepared as an exact counter to 2 gate reaver --> double expand.
|
Happy chair Show Case. LMAO.
|
I'm not going to lie, I voted for ForGG myself, but I had no idea the game would be anything like that. Well, maybe the macro aspect, but certainly not the build.
|
Awesome game. Recommended to watch.
|
I am actually excited to see new guys playing. Go go go type-b, whoever you are!!!
|
That game was just awesome. :0 Lol at the reavers getting stuck though, too bad the wrong guy won. ^^

HerO seems to have a few fans in the building.

|
type-b vs hero. Map colosseum. Hero at 7 , tybe at 1. Hero pylons near his choke. Zerg scouts to the south.
|
over 9 pool then 2 drones from type b. Or over 11 pool...thnking 9
|
Tybe sends out a drone to s cout and expands to his southern safer nat. Hero checking out the build. Hes also opening 1 gate forge I guess he wasn't comfortable with the only partial wall in at that map. Hero blocks his ramp of with the zeals and makes one cannon. Type made 8 lings and is now taking his 3rd base. Hes starting to mine gas as well.
|
Hero's probe still barely alive and it sees the timing of the lair. Type pulls his lings back to get the pesky probe and hero takes the opportunity to move out with 2 zeals..for some reason
|
Hero's nat is done. Ok Hero pulled back those 2 zeals, got a core, started a stargate and killed the nat creep.
|
4th hatch in base and spire from type, probably just for scourge after scouting the starport.A goon will take out the overlord that spoted the tech as payback Evo chamber started, Hero sends lings fleeing as he moves out with 5 zeals and a goon. Hydra den started. +1 started for Hero and his temp archives is almost done.
|
Great timing on the spire, hero trying to get a look at type's base with his sair..loses it=/ Hero with nice timing breaking the 1 sunk + 14 lings at the nat of type. He gets a drone kil but now type has hydras out, 6 or so and they clear out the zeals. Hero will probably try to take a third now. And I hope he does for the sake of my LB
|
2 scourge lookingaround. Pylon started on the high ground near the ramp at the third as I thought. Ovie speed is done and 2 of them fly across the map and get a good look at a medium sized/smallish army hiding for the zerg 2nd nat Nexus at the third started. Hero has 2 temps and about 8 speed zeals. STORMMMM. 2 storms but the zerg reacts well and only loses a couple hydras. Ouch the morphed archon is lost but most of the zeals are kept alive. A control group of hydras looking to deny that 2nd nat. They move around the back! DANGER!!!!!
|
THE PROTOSS ARMY IS OUT OF POSITION!! HE FUCKING LOSES THE NEXUS! WOW HERO YOU SUCK DICK=/
|
Lurks are out now, all those hydras were lost but it was wayyyy worth it.
|
That first skirmish looked like it was in slow motion. This is a weird game already.
It looked like type-b had scourge to deal with non-existent sairs, and HerO had a stargate to pump out said non-existent sairs.
Speedlot-temp vs hyrda-lurk now though, so that's a bit more reasonable.
|
Zerg with 2 evos, 4 lurks done and about 4 more morphing. Toss rebuilding his 2nd nat. Its still 3 base for the zerg. No queens nest yet but zerg actually has 3 evos.
|
Okay so there was a corsair in there after all eh? I must be blind today.
HerO's macro seems to have kicked in. Pushing hard with soooo many templar.
|
Zerg moves around to the back of the nat again and looks to shut down mining w ith lurks but hero has obs ready. So the zerg runs The p army is chasing zerg back to near the middle. They meet near the protoss 2nd nat. WOW HERO SLAUGHTERS THE ZERG ARMY SO EASILY with a few well placed storms. Sloppy from zerg there. A large protoss army...3 control groups of zeal/goon/temp is moving towards the newly build zerg min only. Lol wow this zerg pretty much sucks He easily loses the min only without even trying to save it and lets the protoss get up his ramp onto the high ground. P showing great micro + storms as he moves up the ramp further, slaughters every single zerg units and proceeds to easy rape this newbie zerg
After about 30 seconds of him throwing small zerg armys into the protoss army at his 2nd nat tybe-b types gg
|
Ok 1/2 so far. I'm not watching. Was the 2nd game recommendable to watch? If both players were so crappy that its entertaining, I'll accept recommendations
As for the first game, did Kal get HT?
|
Second game was not worth watching Game one; kal did not have the time to get storm after commiting to reaver --> double expo.
|

2nd game was kind of sloppy, but some nice storms from hero if you're a fan of that kind of stuff.
as for game 1, kal didn't get HT

The first 5-8 minutes of the second game had me extremely confused with that weird 5zeal 1goon 'timing' attack and the missing corsair, but the rest of it was pretty standard play, if a little bit less polished than we're used to. Not really worth the watch. First game was amazing, though.

|
Thisshould be interesting. Clan mates
|
Map othello. ForGG looks nervous, fidgeting in his chair. Hero at 5, ForGG at 11.
|
ForGG depots --> 12/12 rax/gas same time ---> scout. Hero something like 10 gate 12 gas 13 core. Fact started, 1 scv in gas. ForGG will most likely FD.
|
Quick range after second pylon. The probe takes a look at 2 rines at the T ramp and runs. ForGG hiding his scv above the nat behind the large mineral. 4 marines move out and take out the probe there before it can run. A probe kills the cowardly scv
|
CC placed after 4 marines. 2 goons moving now to the T nat, but forgg has 4 rines and a tank. Nice goon micro picks off all the rines. But in that time forgg got 3 mines down. Obs are almost ready though. Hero's build designed to counter fd. Lets see if he can make it work by hitting before siege. A vult nicely gets in and sees the nexus timing and gets out with red health
|
Ob out! Its at the nat as T is firing at the nat building. Theres a turret ready. Hmm looks like Hero won't even try to pressure. But forgg had nice timing on siege mode anyways.
|
Hero going reaver, taking a look at the T main with an ob which he almost loses. Hero loads up 2 zeals and a reaver. Forgg added his 2nd and 3rd facts and started his acad.
|
|
ForGG also has a turret near his minline and a tank. Hes harassing to the south though but forgg quickly gets tanks in place. Nice micro by hero picks off some units with zeal drop + scarab target. Hero going 2 gate carrier. Wow very very unlucky s carabs by hero and he pouts about it
|
The early scanners should let forgg know what hero is up too. Timing push from terran! Protoss trying to mae it look like hes taking a thrid but it could j ust be a cover up for his carrier. ForGG tries to sneak 3 vults in by they are denied. Hero doing a nice job of stalling with shuttle play and reaver use. HE WILL ALMOST STOP THE PUSH! GREAT MICRO! First carrier out. 1 turret started. Ooo the carrier gets the turret. 2 carriers now , both very low on ints. 4 vults looking to back stab.
|
Hero starting his 3rd. Hes at 4 gates and 2 stargates. 4 carriers out now. T looking to take his 3rd cc at the gas base at the top right.
|
T aslo has the a base near his nat. ForGG has about 12 goliaths and 6tanks + many turrets. OHHH hes harassing with 4 carriers + 2 zeals and reaverat the back depots! He takes out the armory! Goliaths moving around to cut off the carrier retreat.
|
No golies yet? Or Armory?
Edit: nvm...
|
Hero is sloppy and loses a carrier to thoselow ground gols. hero doing huge damage, He kill pretty much all of forggs depots at the bottom there. Hero then walks about 3 -4 goons into mines
|
5 carriers out now. And about a control group and a half of goons clearing mines. The T continues to mass. PRotoss has scouted the weakly defended base at the top right. I don't think it will be there much longer
|
Lol hero takes out the scv bulding the army. Oooo forgg has 3 starpots 6 carriers harassing the high ground above the nat.
|
Hero with 6 carriers and about 2 groups of goons
Terran with 2 groups of goliaths and a dozen tanks
|
Another army falls. That hurts bad...forgg's upgrades have to be so weak right now. Mass tanks move out in semi desperation to the protoss third. But the probes are already pulled and the goons counter the terran third base! Great move!

thanks TheFoReveRwaR, nice job doing LR
|
Lol if protoss doesnt scout the hidden expo or those wraiths that is realllllly a noob way to lose. He has this game but he needs to find those....
|
Hero knows about the starports. The goons and carriers run to the north east and around. Wow I guess the top right base wasnt scouted Its still there despite the fact it could be asily killed by carriers. Hero has taken his min only on the right side. About 6 or so wraiths "massed".
|
forGG will prob win this i think nice game so far. Sorry Hero probebly
|
8 or so carriers and a control group harassing the bottom of the T main. NINE CLOAK WRAITH! 4 carriers fall but there are enough obs. The wraith count is reduced to two. LOL a hero wraith a 1 gol shot take out another carrier. Carrier count = 4 . Close game still because of heros FUCKING HORRIBLE MISTAKE OF NOT SHUTING DOWN THE TOP RIGHT. FINALLY HE FUCKING SEES IT!
|
Lol even though I think P has this he is seriously lacking scouting this game. At a prolevel you cannot NOT scout! He could end this game so quick if he found the 3rd (and he just did)
|
fOrGG sieges protoss 3rd expo, but 4th one goes up
Hero tries attacking with carrier + goons but is repulsed, fOrGG going 3port cloaked wraiths
fOrGG snipes 4 carriers with cloaked wraiths but loses all of his wraiths in the process
|
HAHA. Dude Protoss is gonna lose this omg...
EDIT: I hope...
|
As protoss attacks that base ForGG unsieges his massive tank army and moves out. About 5 wraiths try to pick off some trailing obs but there are too many. The T army sieges up behind the protoss 3rd again. Hero has only 5 carriers his a ctually in deep shit. He cant really engage. Too many tanks.
|
ForGG gives up top right to take out toss 3rd expo again
both back down to 1 base
|
Uhm, how do watch gomtv these days.
I have the english version from GSI, but I don't have the live channels anymore and the GOMTV net site doessn't show any live games etc. Would be nice if there was a pinned guide constantly updated for every change.. it's getting annoying updating the method so frequently.
Any way to watch this besides yaoyan (chinese internet is.. GG)?
Yes I searched several how to watch gom threads etc, but couldn't find anything recent .

The terran third is almost mined out. PROTOSS COUNTERS!! ForGG unsieges everything and returns hope. SCVS being slaughtered. ForGG has to be close to limit. 1 tank harasses the min only at the right side but its taken out. Hero desperately needs time to mass more carriers but he doesnt have it. ForGG relentless. Hero is playing pretty well though, not wasting his army too bad and trying to weaken the gol numbers while avoiding the tanks. Really needs storm there. Damn the terran army is fucking huge. The int count must be low. A carrier drifts into vult fire.
|
fOrGG doing a wonderful job positioning his tanks behind his goliaths
Hero still waiting for a critical number of carriers, but he just lost another nexus. protoss not mining anymore
terran is almost dry as well
|
Both players are barely mining. Tense game but forgg still has a large army, too big to handle straight up.
|
The goliaths count is low! 2 1! Eight! Seven!

Terran realizes he needs more and runs to regroup his goliaths in hopes of being able to stop the int numbers. P moves around and hits the scvs long distance mining at the mid expo. 5 carriers for Hero. NOw Forgg will longistance mine at the left side min only instead. A vult catches some longdistance mining probes but 3 goons take it out. Ok ForGG has amassed a huge group of gols again and landed a cc (from his main?) at the left side min only. About 24 golsor so and 6 tanks. Hero tries to pick gols off with carriers but quickly realizes there are just wayyy too many gols. Hero GGs.
|
Epic game. Didn't think too much of it at first, but this has turned out pretty crazy too!
|
Hero GGs
very well played by fOrGG in terms of positioning his army, knowing when to engage, shutting down expansions, etc.
|
Honestly this was not a GG =/ It was entertaining but Hero played like a fucking idiot. He couldve shut down that 4th base about 10 minutes earlier than he did and sealed the win. That was a rookie mistake.
Props to ForGG though for having the foresight to make the hidden expo realizing he needed to do something out of the ordinary to put himself at an advantage after the damaging carrier harass.

You can watch the GSL in english with the korean gom player (I have korean gom and do so)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ regarding the game.....
FUCK YEAH!
Freaking HerO HAD that game too. If he wasn't so cocky he could have scouted the top hidden expo and (maybe..) scouted the wraiths before getting totally caught off guard by them.
While it looks like HerO just had bad luck not seeing those two things a little sooner, a better player would have had it scouted and finished the game much quicker.
It was a GG though and was fun to watch. Glad ForGG won keke
|
It's true that Hero didn't scout well enough, but it ended up being a close game because of it. How often do you get to see tons of workers on both sides distance mining? Haha.
|
Wait. ForGG floated a CC from his main to 3 oclock? Did i get that rite?

Yeah. Near the end of that game Daum went to shit, and when I tried switching to GOM it was even worse.
ForGG floated his main CC to 9 o'clock, not 3. Easy mistake to make.

It's choppy for me. ;; Oddly enough, only during the games. xD

really nice game tehre
I believe the game was lost when Hero eventually scouted the 1 expo and then moved aaaaall his huge army there to take it down both ground and air. forgg saw that and went to attack with all of his own army at the expos. and once he was there with so many tanks sieged up at a great position taking down the one of the expos first and a bit later the other one too hero could never really do anything to kill all those units, neither could he dare take another expo anywhere else
|
Umm ya i didnt read your post carefully. He floated his main cc (at 11) to the min only directly south of his main base.

|
Kal vs Type-B at Othello. Kal at 5, Z at 1. Kal pylons at his nat.
|
Kal scouting the wrong way so he will most likely forge --> scout with scond probe --> nexus.
|
Nevermind he just uses one probe and spots the 12 hatch 11 pool build from type b. Nexus before cannons from Kal, of course.

the unscouted base was serious but not a grave mistake. there were few scvs there so the base was well functional for a much less amount of time to make that big of a difference. outpositioning the whole army however helped forgg to put himself in a checkmate position

Gateway before cannon. Walling the northern part of the choke. 3rd hatch in main. 4 lings spawn and ignore the probe, running straight for the protoss nat. Kal gets 2 cannons. 1 finishes before lings the other not ready yet but kal nicely blocks te bottom opening with 2 probes so lings cant run behind the mins.
|
Kal has his probe alive in the zerg main. Sees the lair timing. Hes going core himself. Zerg has also taken the gas 2nd nat.
|
2nd gas just now started for type. NO stargate, quick citadel, 3 more gates from kal. The overlord sees it so type skips spire and gets a quicker hydra den. A goon takes out the scouting overlord. 4 gates up. +1 was started naturally from Kal. Temp archives started. Some early pressure with 5 zeals and a goon.
|
Oh now 7 zeals and a goon. Speed still now done yet. Bam there it goes. Zerg has only about 8 hydras. Ah nevermind, there they are...16or so. Kal sees t he numbers and does not commit his army. Kal cannoning his main just to be safe. The openings are actually pretty damn good for type. A speed ovie checks out the toss main.
However went kal gets his temp numbers up tybe b will need to have lurks ready or he could be run over. 3 temps out now.
|
The ovie sees the temps though. Spire about to finish. Kal is at the zerg 2nd nat! GREAT STORM! Catchs hydras running from the zeals
|
Lurkers ae ready in time! BUT FUCKING KAL IS AN EXTREME BADASS(and/or really dumb) AND RUNS BY INTO THE NAT AND ST ORMS DRONES lol. However that was probably a really shitty idea...as a counter drop is fucking up the main some. 1 lurk and 3 hydras lived after the cannons feel. Goons pop though, clear the hydras and an ob will get their soon. Ok lurk neutralized.
|
3 overlord drop at the back nat on the high ground this will be a shitload of trouble. Omfg Kal is getting raped...wow.
|
Kal suprises me though and clears it better than I thought he would despite not having enough storm. 5 overlord drop at the main! There's the storm! 5 cannons at the main + 2 storms stop the drop at the cost of some probes.
|
Kal actually messed up pretty badly, but the next drop on his main was botched and now it looks like he's ahead again.
|
Kal desperately trying to break the front but the ob is sniped...Kal spots the zerg 4 base warping at the 12 base. Kal trying to take a third. 5 overlord drop at the main again! Kal is fucking READY!!! DROP RAPED LIKE A BITCH!
|
Zealot almost kills a pylon. xD

But as I type this its being harassed by a lurk on the cliff. LOlL FUCKING OUCH KAL. Kal moved his goons/temps only behind the cliff area to clear the lurk. From there he was flanked badly by hydra lurk and his temps/goons pinned and slaughtered. Some nice storms kept him in t he game but his 3rd is still being harassed. Ok the lurks finally cleared but they will simply be replaced=/ Ok they are replaced but dealt with without wasting storms.
|
Mondragon vs Dreiven anyone?
|
This zerg is relentless. a 3 overlord hydra/lurk drop on the high ground nat again. Shuttle is there and a s torm clears the hydras. Kal catchs some confused zerg units out of position. Tybe only at 4 bases with3 gases. Hive is done though. Kal at 3 base. 6 or so gates. Ahh fuck both nat and 2nd nat under lurk harass again. Ok cleared. KALS TURN! He storm drops and takes out 5 or so probes. DTs slaughtering drones! NIce harass from kal. Lol hes wayyy back in this.
|
Win or lose this Zerg is doing a great job of harassing. I will be keeping an eye on him in future tourneys
|
A just finished base at the top left is crushed right away. A dt tryies to sneak out of the main for more drone kills but its caught and killed. There's still a high temp above the zerg 2nd nat but aww its killed by 2 lings before getting another s torm off. KAL MOVES IN! FUCKING AWESOME STORMS SHRED A LOT OF ZERG UNITS BUT THE OBS ARE SNIPED. Zerg making a move now thinking kals out of storms. DAMN IS HE WRONG AS STORM COVERS THE REST OF HIS ARMY, MELTING IT.
|
Kal showing this kid whats up now as a huge near limit protoss army rolls into the zeg 2nd nat. Storms fly everywhere, zerg bodies cover the ground and type-b ggs.
Tybe-b just flat out outclassed. He had a great start but kal is just much better. Type-b crying.
|
Well, drops were the right move for this zerg. Both games he's been absolutely raped by storms.
Kal honestly didn't look very impressive there though.
|
kals storms are devastating

The storms saved Kal in this match.
|
The zerg had good drops but not the multitasking skills to make them worth it. Hes no jaedong
The idea behind early game drop plays is keeping the protoss army busy so you can take a 4th base/secure/ and use it to take a 5th so you can roll over P with macro late game. The zerg just sat on 3 base while he was harass and only tried taking more bases after his drops had fizzled out.
|
haha.. Kal and HerO get to play every match up today. PvT PvZ now PvP.
|
he he, what a pleasure seeing the only Zerg in this group got his ass handed to him by a Protoss. Now, go on to grab the last ticket, Kal!!!!!

looooooooooooooool "nexus nexus nexu- REAVER REAVER REAVER REAVER"

Hero barely survives using some great reaver/shuttle micro and some DTs, but loses the nexus at his natural.
LOL he tries to fight Kal's reaver off with some probes. Needless to say it doesn't go well.

LOOOOOOL "NEXUS NEXUS NEXUS NEXUS; RIBOR RIBOR RIBOR RIBOR"

3/4 Good enough
|
Nothing surprising about this group. ForGG's TvP is as deadly as ever.
|
Kal made it afterall. I'm sure he wouldn't be happy with his preformance this round.
|
Late but thank you for great as always Live reports.

+ Show Spoiler +Highways wrote: Kal < fOrGG recommended game
WOW! one of the best TvP I've ever seen! I always felt forgg is the most underated player. Thanks Highways!
Highly recommended!
|
ForGG's TvP battle plan:
- take expansion
- lose (pick only one) 30 SCVs to one reaver 30 marines to one reaver 10 supply depots to one reaver
- ????
- Win.
|
Kal vs ForGG Incredible micro by Kal with that reaver. Just not good enough against the m&m macro. Why he didn't just move his goon forward when he saw Kal mass marines? At least he would push ForGG away from hurting his expo.
|
Type-b vs Kal Basically "How to beat Mondragon drops." Type-b, you wonder how he even qualify for the group. Great defense for Kal for deflectinig all the drops while harassing zerg's base.

LOL, I was thinking the same thing.

Hero vs ForGG Hero did tons of damage especially at Forgg's depot and armory. I think could had expanded everywhere especially at 7'o clock. Scouting 2 so late is not pro! The attack at the natural, he could kill the CC. this game was Hero's to lose.
|
Kal vs Hero Again Hero's game to lose. Losing the reaver allowed Kal to counter attack and take out Hero's expo. Hero cries. Hero is not too bad strategywise, but seriously need to work on that multitasking skill and certain decision making. Oh well, it's better that Kal pass the group, at least Kal would go farther.

i love you forgg i want you to be the next big terran. Your macro is amazing and you are very creative. All you need to do is improve your tvt and you're perfect
