NaDa goooo. ByuN is going to be really hard but NaDa's TvT is his strong suite and ByuN's TvT is pretty average. However, ByuN is a REALLY scary player and his name was hovering top GM a lot.

You can actually use the whole thing I just copied SeeKeR's thread too and just add that 1 line about the streams in between the 4 games.. I think its easier that way.. But youre the boss today :D
are the first 4 games being for premium only a new thing? wtf GOM, this is horse shit. There is only 1 stream going on atm and i have a ticket but i cant watch?

Its been said many many times during last week's match, they are matches from the 2nd stream which was deemed premium only right from the start. So there is no difference.

Just thought it was for when 2 streams were on at the same time but whatever will just watch VOD's later.

I like Byun, but I'm pulling for nada cause it's not time for him to disappear from gsl yet because if he falls to code b, I don't have high hopes of him passing the qualifiers!
Ah IC, didnt read the blog if not I would have prepped the LR thread earlier lol
Side note, not to seem demanding or anything, but KillerDucky could you center the thread lol the alignment to the left is bugging the OCD side of me for some reason =S

GOM's explanation is that they were always going to charge for the stream of the four extra matches that didn't fit in the regular broadcast; the timing of those matches had nothing to do with the decision to implement the premium wall. Of course, for many, this can be difficult to reconcile with the original description and labeling of the "Dual Stream" service.

No but I have gotten 2 error messages while watching and I have had to reclick the "Live" button on gom to get back to the stream. Stream has also crashed several other times as always but I've been able to get it back up by just pressing play as always.
Haven't seen a Vampire game in a bit but I know he used to like a heavy air style in PvZ and he made it work somewhat so it will be interesting if he plays with that style here.

I can only watch this because of a short WTF moment when I decided to get premium instead of regular so I could watch the Korean VODs. Which I never do

So many infestors and mothership on the way...game at 13 mins lol. Great now Yugioh is done with his greater spire and protoss taking a 4th at 15 mins.
Without more creep spread Yugioh can't gather his spines in the center location, and without that he'll never have enough map presence to get a 4th/5th base
If they both keep sitting it'll just come down to the micro though.

Yugioh v. Vampire game one is 100% a game you need to watch.
Severely disappointed that I cannot even watch the first 4 matches as paying customer albeit "only" a light ticket holder.. I totally feel that GOM screwed me (and every other light ticket holder) on this one..
wait, so they are only playing one match at a time right now? shouldnt the light ticket holders be able to see the stream then? According to their site, "dual streams" is:
In case it is not possible to broadcast every match on the main stream, a simultaneous second stream will be available to premium users to catch 100% of the action (currently only available for Windows users).

Since it was a premium perk to be able to watch those live, they don't want to screw those who paid extra.

It's already been discussed to death really. You still get the exact amount of games with the light ticket as you did before at the exact same times

Ok I must have missed those threads. So their reason is that instead of having actual dual streams (play 2 games at a time with one watchable stream for the light ticket holders) they now only play one game at a time but make the first half of the games premium content? It would make sence but it is still a change of their terms since I bought my ticket.

No they totally screwed us over, it says we should be able to watch all GSL live content, Dual stream is a feature among many others that premium ticket holders pay for.. The GSL live Content is as it reads supposed to be the same all across the board.. If that is not the case, then they should be a whole lot more clear on what the differences are .. and not, I repeat NOT act like they are selling light ticket holders access to all GSL live content, becus' clearly they are not..

Where does it say that? In the ticket store, the Light tickets are about the only things that don't have "all" or "complete" in their description.
Edit: I guess you could say the chart at the bottom of the page is misleading.
I LOVE that Yugioh is not afraid to chill on two base and tech against Protoss. Game 1 and 2 were so different from any other Zerg style I've seen lately that I'm really hoping other pros pick up on that. I think Protoss players really have that double expo style figured out, so why keep banging your head against that metaphorical wall?

Exactly the charts are really misleading and had I known they would pull stuff like this on me, I would have paid the extra for the premium, but it's not like im gonna pay the the premium prize now and basically waste 20 bucks I already paid for the light ticket..
The charts:
light ticket: Ad-supported - HQ LIVE - HQ VOD
premium: No Ads - HQ LIVE - HQ VOD - Dual Streams - Korean VOD - Mobile Web (Live, VOD) - iOS GSL App Service
To me that looks like I am getting all gsl live content and that this dual stream is a functionality.. a feature in the premium package..
They should be a whole lot more clear on what they are selling here..
Keep the pissing and moaning about the tickets out of this thread please. This was talked about to death in the first code A thread and does not warrant another equally stupid discussion.

So that makes it ok for them to do like that? I didnt watch last weeks Code A so I missed the discussion then. They should have realized they made a mistake already last week and made the content free for light ticket users and then made it clear for next season what games are actually included in the packages.

"To better accommodate fans living in different timezones, we have decided to move the broadcast of the second stream to 1:10pm KST, which is about 5 hours earlier than our regular broadcast.
As usual, the second stream will only be available for all premium ticket holders ('dual stream' perk). The stream will feature one caster and basic production, identical to the way we have been providing the second stream since GSL Season 1. The VODs will be uploaded as fast as possible after the live broadcast and will be available to all GSL Season 2 ticket holders."

No you paid more money for more features, for more stuff.. etc etc.. not for exclusive GSL content, that was NEVER obvious for anyone, and don't go thinking I can't shell out more money to get my GSL content, cus I can, and I would've, had I known wtf was going on. But at this point I am pissed, and obviously dont want to buy a premium ticket and completely waste the 20 bucks I paid for the light ticket I am in possession of.

OK, I have my own views on this but I don't want really want to discuss it with you here. Like I said, it's been discussed extensively in the previous Code A threads, we don't need to do it again.
I havent seen a chargelot archon all in vs zerg in months! That was a weird game
I am sorry but last season, wasnt the discussion about how we couldnt watch the dual stream? I didnt feel screwed then because they didnt breach their terms they set up when I bought my ticket (even if many people that couldnt read felt they were screwed). Now its a totally different situation. They say I can watch "HQ LIVE", which means everything except "Dual Streams". Since there are no dual streams I should be able to see the games. They are breaching their terms and for that I am a bit angry.
Last week's Code A games were the same. I paid extra money to be able to watch the dual stream games. If they allow light ticket holders to watch it, then I paid more money for nothing. That isn't what I paid for, I'd be screwed over. It goes both ways, you see.
No you paid more money for more features, for more stuff.. etc etc.. not for exclusive GSL content, that was NEVER obvious for anyone, and don't go thinking I can't shell out more money to get my GSL content, cus I can, and I would've, had I known wtf was going on. But at this point I am pissed, and obviously dont want to buy a premium ticket and completely waste the 20 bucks I paid for the light ticket I am in possession of.
Stop it ok. I'm not responding to any of this stuff after this, like I said, it's been discussed to death already. I'll give you a tip though. You don't need to buy a new ticket, you can upgrade your current one. There, if you have money you can fork out then you should be good to go. If you hate GOM with a passion now and refuse to buy the ticket then good for you, I don't care, go post on their forums. Have a good evening

It's possible to upgrade your season ticket without overpaying, but you'll have to email support@gomtv.net for them to do it manually (that function is not integrated into the website).

What light ticket holders that complain about this fail to realise is that everyone gets exactly what they payed for at the start of the season...
That is actually not true. Before the season I knew I COULD only watch one of the two games (since it was a dual stream, I can only watch one game at a time) and decided I could stick with the free game they gave to me and watch the premium game on VOD later. Now they broadcast the games one at a time which means I CAN watch all the games. I dont care the result in the end is that I can watch the same number of games live. Their terms in the beginning of the season affected my decision on what package to buy and now it turns out to be different from what they said. A change of terms is wrong no matter what.

No I cannot upgrade a season light ticket to a premium season ticket..
And this is the 2nd time Gom have disappointed me in how they do business. I have no passion anymore (like tasteless ololol) so I doubt that I can continue hating on GOM. But I do believe that light ticket holders (I am not the only one pissed off about this incident) have a point and reason to feel screwed over by GOM.
It's morning here, but I'll save your sincere 'good evening' till later..

Actually, that is not true. GOM's definition of dual stream has always been weird. Even when two games was going on simultanously, light subscribers were only able to watch stream #1 and not stream #2, that is why people are saying you get the same games with both setups (not just number of games but the exact matches). Only difference now is that time of stream #2 has been changed so premium subs can see both sets of game 1 at a time. For light subs, there is no difference.

Which totally makes the whole "Dual stream" friggin' retarded, since it's not dual stream, it's just 4 more games for premium ticket holders.. is it 4 ? Or more? How many.. I wanna know now.

There you go, please go upgrade now. There isnt much complaining in a TL.net LR thread can do for you and your situation. You're better off stating your case on the gom website.

One of the GOM employees clarified their point of view somewhere on their forums (can't be bothered to find it right now). Basically, he mentioned that the description of the "Dual Stream" service in the ticket store is: "In case it is not possible to broadcast every match on the main stream, a simultaneous second stream will be available to premium users to catch 100% of the action[...]"
The first part did not change (they still can't show half the matches on the main broadcast stream); they only made the timing of the second "premium" stream earlier (most likely due to having only two casters available for the day). So if anything, the "change in terms" is that they should have struck out/deleted the word "simultaneous" from the description.
Edit: Of course, that doesn't resolve the issue of the service being called "Dual Stream" when they're not exactly "dual" anymore.
Edit 2: Apologies for posting all this non-game-related stuff in this thread. I guess I have too much time on my hands, being a light ticket holder...

The first match is usually uploaded within the hour following the last match. But as there are two sessions today, the schedule might change.
Geez...those complaining about not watching, you're not missing much. This really isn't GSL-quality play, I have a feeling the winner's gonna be a walkover for their opponent next round.

Lol, it is true. You just said so yourself. You weren't able to watch the games if they were broadcast at the same time, and you're not able to watch them when they are broadcast one after the other. In terms of service and product you are getting the exact same thing. They just aren't able to broadcast the games at the same time anymore, since moletrap is no longer with Gom anymore.

Just to inform there are another 3 more days like this I believe (if that affects your decision to upgrade or not) plus it is office hours for them now so I think it would be processed quite fast.
"Light users can watch all regular Code A broadcasts live.
There are however some days where there are too many matches at once (3 times in Code A R1, 2 times in Code A R2). On those days some matches are not airing on the regular show (they will not be broadcasted at all in Korean).
As a service for our premium users these matches will however be broadcasted in English on GOMTV.net with just basic production (solocast, less production value)."
And honestly I just wanted to blow off some steam and see if anyone else had the same experience and perhaps felt some of the same outrage about it. Funny how you always end up arguing with the other guys on the other side of the fence with premium tickets who feel like youre raining on their parade or something..
Actually, a lot of people was in your situation last week and there was a huge discussion on it. So I think that is why you are getting negative feedback now because we went through this already last week.
Yeah well, I was not part of that of that huge discussion I guess, that would have satisfied my hunger but alas, I was apparently not aware of the situation back then.

Boxer's taking time off and they started the team to help him, what more do you expect? Jessica probably is mismanaging things over there and everything I hear about the team house is drama.

They lost a good chunk of their core "good" players to other teams, let others go and really all they have anymore is MMA, and how long do you think it will be before the Yankees...er I mean EG...buys him up?
No they totally screwed us over, it says we should be able to watch all GSL live content, Dual stream is a feature among many others that premium ticket holders pay for.. The GSL live Content is as it reads supposed to be the same all across the board.. If that is not the case, then they should be a whole lot more clear on what the differences are .. and not, I repeat NOT act like they are selling light ticket holders access to all GSL live content, becus' clearly they are not..
OK, I have my own views on this but I don't want really want to discuss it with you here. Like I said, it's been discussed extensively in the previous Code A threads, we don't need to do it again.
I havent seen a chargelot archon all in vs zerg in months! That was a weird game
I am sorry but last season, wasnt the discussion about how we couldnt watch the dual stream? I didnt feel screwed then because they didnt breach their terms they set up when I bought my ticket (even if many people that couldnt read felt they were screwed). Now its a totally different situation. They say I can watch "HQ LIVE", which means everything except "Dual Streams". Since there are no dual streams I should be able to see the games. They are breaching their terms and for that I am a bit angry.
Last week's Code A games were the same. I paid extra money to be able to watch the dual stream games. If they allow light ticket holders to watch it, then I paid more money for nothing. That isn't what I paid for, I'd be screwed over. It goes both ways, you see.
No you paid more money for more features, for more stuff.. etc etc.. not for exclusive GSL content, that was NEVER obvious for anyone, and don't go thinking I can't shell out more money to get my GSL content, cus I can, and I would've, had I known wtf was going on. But at this point I am pissed, and obviously dont want to buy a premium ticket and completely waste the 20 bucks I paid for the light ticket I am in possession of.
Stop it ok. I'm not responding to any of this stuff after this, like I said, it's been discussed to death already. I'll give you a tip though. You don't need to buy a new ticket, you can upgrade your current one. There, if you have money you can fork out then you should be good to go. If you hate GOM with a passion now and refuse to buy the ticket then good for you, I don't care, go post on their forums. Have a good evening
No I cannot upgrade a season light ticket to a premium season ticket..
And this is the 2nd time Gom have disappointed me in how they do business. I have no passion anymore (like tasteless ololol) so I doubt that I can continue hating on GOM. But I do believe that light ticket holders (I am not the only one pissed off about this incident) have a point and reason to feel screwed over by GOM.
It's morning here, but I'll save your sincere 'good evening' till later..
"Season ticket upgrades are possible but have to be processed manually. Please contact support@gomtv.net for more information."
There you go, please go upgrade now. There isnt much complaining in a TL.net LR thread can do for you and your situation. You're better off stating your case on the gom website.
Yah great, information that was made avail 25mins ago, and it has to be manually processed as it is not possible to do online via their ticket purchase options.. and most of the games have been played out now. No thanks..
At least now I know how it's going down and what to expect.. And honestly I just wanted to blow off some steam and see if anyone else had the same experience and perhaps felt some of the same outrage about it. Funny how you always end up arguing with the other guys on the other side of the fence with premium tickets who feel like youre raining on their parade or something..
Well.. I think I am just gonna get a premium ticket next season. Less ragebrains included.
Just to inform there are another 3 more days like this I believe (if that affects your decision to upgrade or not) plus it is office hours for them now so I think it would be processed quite fast.
"Light users can watch all regular Code A broadcasts live.
There are however some days where there are too many matches at once (3 times in Code A R1, 2 times in Code A R2). On those days some matches are not airing on the regular show (they will not be broadcasted at all in Korean).

That was the post they made.
Appreciate it man, not like you had to inform me! I was wondering how many more days like this, how many more games I would miss! Take it easy!

BTW if anyone at GOM is reading this, a little suggestion, could you make it possible to hide the time remaining on a VOD? When I go FS I can't seem to make the control bar with the time to go away, kind of ruins the suspense of the game a bit. But I'm quite happy about the very prompt upload of the VODs.

try moving your mouse cursor to the top of the screen. That bar seems to appear if your cursor is in the bottom half of your screen.

Thanks...that's kinda weird design but yeah what you said works!
Watching these VODs they REALLY need to get Khaldor a partner. he just repeats the same thing again and again and again and gets like stuck in a loop. He's a good caster but terrible solo casting...it's like he'll bring up a point and then repeat that point.
And yes I just repeated myself in an ironic twist.

Because repetition is the best device of getting your point across (as shown in your post). Usually, it's much more subtle and he'll have a partner who'll repeat the same thing but won't be considered as annoying, as it'll be coming from two different people.

The issue is that he is just literally saying the same thing, no real modulation to the way he's saying it either. And what's funny is he's said the same thing about having 4 or 6 zerglings and going past the cannon in an FFE like...10 times today...I swear there should be a Khaldor drinking game but I worry you might get hammered too fast if that was a rule.

Byun is doing great atm. In the team league, though, he has yet to encounter a terran. So we don't really know about the state of his tvt right now. Last time both met Nada got 2-0'ed in the ro16 of code S puppy season.

Here's the thing that's interesting, though this may get a bit off topic....
See I'm a DJ, and I tend to listen to and play more femminine sounding music, lately been experimenting with mixing top 40, electro, house and trance. And I think it'd be really cool to mix in some k-pop, I don't understand the lyrics but to me music is so much more about emotion to me. I'm starting up a new project to just sort of put out mixes there full of high energy music for people to game to or do whatever too. So while I don't understand what it is about it, and sometimes I feel a bit uncomfortable about liking such "girly" music, but I want to push my comfort zone and just play whatever the eff I want.
Wait, what? Inca lost a PvP to some dude I never heard of? And is now in Code B? Well that sucks :/, Inca is not the greatest player by a long shot but he always made for great entertainment.

No overdroning that was very good from lucky even if he had lost that base. Though he should have gone for mass roach after that 8gate all in. No way should Vines get that 3th up.
FXOLucky spawning as the red zerg in the 5 o'clock position. oGsVines spawning as the blue protoss in the 11 o'clock position.
VINES goes Nexus first on 17. Lucky goes Pool first, followed by a Spawning Pool.
Forge and Gateway goes down at the natural ramp for VINES. Lucky takes his first Extractor on 20.
Single cannon placed on the wall for VINES as he takes the two gasses in his main. Cybernetics Core finishes the wall. +1 Attack started.
10.00 Third base of Lucky is immediately picked up by VINES. Six more Gateways added on for VINES!
Roach Warren is down for Lucky, Metabolic Boost upgrade finishes up. Lucky manages to scout the gateways from VINES!
VINES now moving across the map with some zealots and stalkers. Probe gets picked off by Zerglings. VINES moving up the ramp to the third of Lucky, only Zealots and Stalkers!
Forward pylons finally going down for VINES. Hatchery is being targetted, but the Roaches and Zerglings defend! Huge Zealot warp-in is able to take out the rest of the Roaches.
VINES continues warping in multiple zealots and Stalkers at the time, eventually taking out the third of Lucky!
Lucky was floating a lot of money before... he should have either had a macro hatch or more spines. If he had reinforced better / had spines for support he would have been fine.

15-00 VINES moves up the ramp to the natural of Lucky, three Spines get taken out before they're finished. The Stalkers target down the Hatchery while Zealots attack the Drones and Roaches. As the Hatch falls, VINES pulls back. Lucky immediately replaces the Hatch.
VINES at about 45 Probes v 35 Drones. VINES looks to be attacking again, this time with Sentries in the mix.
A Roach and Overlord is picked off, and VINES pulls back while taking a third base. Robotics Facility finishing up for VINES.
EvolutionChamber and Lair tech for Lucky as he takes out the forward pylons. Twilitght Council finishing up for VINES.

Stalkers aggresively blink on top of the Roaches twice as they head towards the base of Lucky, taking out multiple Roaches. Lucky is forced to turn around. Roaches are in a terrible position, and gg is called.
but when your opponent has so many gates, you can sac a bit of your econ. Spines are much more cost effective vs zealots and stalkers. I think he felt safe after killing the first probes and didn't think Vines would still go ahead with the attack.
Wooh! Happy that my Liquibet on Lure paid off, it was mainly based on him playing one of the best PvZ's I've ever seen in the ESV weekly, despite him actually loosing the series, and also that Inca's PvP is wildly overated. I can't see the liquibet poll for some reason, but based on the comments no body else went for Lure.
On April 24 2012 18:54 vthree wrote: Dunno why Lucky didn't make any spines when he scouted that.
make spines == no money for units and vice-versa
He had like 700+ unspent minerals when the battle turned against him. Also for defence spines instead of units is not a terrible choice.
he wanted that for roaches/lings..if he makes spines at the third..with his minerals, his nat and main would just get rolled..and i'm pretty sure lucky wasn't mining at his third base....so eh?
Wonder if the KeSPA players will be participating in next season's Code A qualifiers. I guess they officially switch when Proleague starts. Wonder if PL starts before the qualifiers or not. The surge in number of participants is gonna be insane if that were the case.
Lucky had a few hundred minerals, surely 2 spines on the nat and the 3rd wouldn't have been too hard? Could have placed it on the intersection between his 3rd and nat as well, he had his creep far our enough. 4 spines would have made that push look easy peasy with roach support since spines are so good against zealots and stalkers.

It is likely KeSPA will want their players playing in their own league. Unless they are really confident they will do well. Because if the BW pros bomb out in qualifiers (which can happen since they just started playing), then the PL will be a joke.

They literally only said good things about luckys play and tried to point out bad things on Vines part the entire match. Vines gave zero fucks.
I don't really feel that way. The only thing that they tried to point through was that Lucky is a decent player and seeing his performance in the teamleague, it is clear that he is no-code B material. Same stands for Nada and Byun or even Alicia and Bomber, even though I always thought Alicia was super hyped (blame Artosis and Alicia's 2-0 over MC in the Super Tournament).

Not sure why Alicia tried to flank. Much easier to defend at the 3rd with cannons. With templars pre-split, can get 2-3 good storms off. But Bomber did really well with his snipes.
Bomber running over Alicia. Alicia was always decent but somehow his macro and overall multitasking dosen't seem to have improved from a long time ago. His mis-rallied colossus showed that.

I don't really mind having alot of strong units. I just dislike the "wait for 15minutes - 15sec fight. And it's over" I'd prefer if we could get some more engagements without a player falling far behind (even drops or DT's do this. If you're not prepared you fall behind - if you are your opponent drops behind)

Completely untested thought: Why not build the 3rd CC (or even a 4th CC, as you don't need nearly as many Bunkers) on the high ground near the natural choke, and if you think a Gateway attack might be coming, float it down to the choke and morph it into a PF? Surely that would be impenetrable, and it only takes 10 seconds longer to morph the PF than to build a Bunker (which the huge HP CC would easily survive).

Worked out really well for him.
He accumulated a huge bank, build panic gates at his third and could spend his bank in 2 warp in rounds after he defended, then he 1 a'ed to victory.

Bomber started to have really ineffecient attacks. Losing at the 3rd, being repelled at the nat and even losing 2 drops in the main. And since he didn't kill the forges 2/2 finished up. Chargelot/Archon with 2/2 is really not bad against MMM. And on top of this, Alicia may have been down on supply. But having 2,5k/1,4k in the bank will give a huge boost in army size, when the production kicks in again.

you can counter on both Cloud Kingdom and Daybreak because it takes less than 1minute to reach a base of your opponent, not here. You can't even punish the fact the toss has 0 tech because of that, which is quite stupid.

First Alicia got the advantage earlier. Also after unpowering Alicia's production, Bomber was loosing units with FFs everywhere, drops were really well stopped. Rush at the front and no drop would have been even better maybe.

Bomber lost because he got greedy with the 4th CC. That and he got a bad engagement when he pushed.
Alicia never lost his probes, so when he got 3 bases online again and rebuilt all those gateways,his superior production kicked in. Bomber never increased his infrastructure and rather made a 4th CC.
Once Alicia stabilised, he had a sick eco, with sick amounts of gates. Bomber on the other hand had a 4th CC, with like 13 maruaders and 14 marines, 3 ghosts and a few medivacs when Alicia had shit loads of archons zealots, etc etc.

I dunno though. Bomber's army seemed weaker than Alicia's army straight up though. But yeah, maybe he should have went for a big push at the nat or the third. Might have been able to tear down Alicia's army while he was still having trouble reinforcing.
Delaying P's production is typically not a hard advantage. If you get unfavorable engagements with your army, all of that bleeds away instantly.
Theres like 3 major things going on here: The fast 3 nexus Warpin mechanics Chrono upgrades
And they combine to push P ahead super fast in practically every aspect of the game (except tech units). It's preferable to not overextend, and knock out the P 3rd.

Just stating a fact. Dosen't mean i actually think the game is imbalanced since it is based on so many other factors as well.
5.00 SlayerS_Alicia is spawning as the red Protoss in the 2 o'clock position. StarTale_Bomber is spawning as the blue Terran in the 8 o'clock position.
Alicia opens with a Gateway. Bomber starts off with a barracks.
Bomber finishes off his wall with a supply depot. Alicia gets an Assimilator.
Cybernetics Core going down for Alicia, getting his first Zealot. Bomber goes for a 1rax expand, with his CC being built on the high ground in the main.
Warp Gate tech started for Alicia as he takes his second Assimilator, though he's not mining for it. Two more Barracks started for Bomber, followe by double Refinery.
Alicia takes his Nexus. CC finishes up for Bomber, immediately upgraded to an Orbital.
Two more Gateways started for Alicia. Bomber adds on two bunkers at the front of his natural.
My god so this is the infamous LR whine that people talk about.... Sure bomber completely leveled the main, but not before the resource advantage off the 3-base was capitalized on - there were 5 gates at the third. Alicia knew he was going to lose everything so he made 6 at his third, one of which died.
Bomber lost cost-INEFFICIENTLY in all 3 fights (main, nat, third). AND he didn't think he didn't need any additional bunker support even when army supply was even.
I just don't understand how retarded people get in this thread. That was a crazy back and forth moment where Bomber overestimated his advantage, which if he hadn't, he wouldve been ahead economically. Jesus Christ. GG.

That's what people need to understand. The games are balanced asymmetrically, so you do have to play races differently. If depowering production is really as ineffective as the whiners in this thread say, then don't target the production specifically when you drop.
And its not like that was a common game that we see all the time. It was a great comeback from Alicia.

Cybernetics Core going down for Alicia, getting his first Zealot. Bomber goes for a 1rax expand, with his CC being built on the high ground in the main.
Warp Gate tech started for Alicia as he takes his second Assimilator, though he's not mining for it. Two more Barracks started for Bomber, followe by double Refinery.
Alicia takes his Nexus. CC finishes up for Bomber, immediately upgraded to an Orbital.
Two more Gateways started for Alicia. Bomber adds on a bunker at the top of his ramp.
10.00 Robotics Facility going down for Alicia. Bomber starts the Stimpak research.
Factory placed down for Bomber. Starport built after factory finishes up, reactor added on to Factory.
Observer coming out for Alicia, still only 3 Gateways for Alicia.
Medivac production started as Bomber takes his natural. Stimpak finishes. Immortal on the way for Alicia, adding on a Robotics Bay.
Combat Shield started for Bomber as he moves out across the map. Bomber drops two full medivacs in the main of Alicia, are able to take out all the Stalkers in the main and a bunch of Probes before it's cleaned up.

Just stating a fact. Dosen't mean i actually think the game is imbalanced since it is based on so many other factors as well.
Pretty sure zerg in ZvP can do the same, 3 hatch baneling bust.
Which doesn't work because delaying your attack is stupid.

From my understanding, early 3rd by P is not punishable by bio play. At best you can break even. Consider the timing at which bio moves out. Bio is better when the P doesn't take a 3rd and gets tech at a significant cost to unit production. Vs a 3rd, you will have 3rax, 5rax finishing when you move out. You will simply be repelled by unit count.
What early 3rd seems to be punished by is the fast 2 gas after CC -> cloakshee/tank play. This essentially is the hard counter, not only does it block the massive gate push with 2nd shee+siege, it collects an autowin by killing tons of probes with your first shee.
Of course the thing is that you blindly determine your build. You don't get to put down +2gas AFTER you confirm 3rd nexus, you do it 1m before! So this the "coinflip" nature of SC.

it was decided before hand, so the maps were favorable for Alicia here (Daybreak/Atlantis vs Dual Sight) But I agree that loser's pick leads to stupid maps (Entombed PvZ/Antiga TvZ/Atlantis ZvT...)

LOL Alica lost his entire main for nothing. And wins. Tell me again Bomber was ahead.
Bomber started to have really ineffecient attacks. Losing at the 3rd, being repelled at the nat and even losing 2 drops in the main. And since he didn't kill the forges 2/2 finished up. Chargelot/Archon with 2/2 is really not bad against MMM. And on top of this, Alicia may have been down on supply. But having 2,5k/1,4k in the bank will give a huge boost in army size, when the production kicks in again.
I saw this coming.
...But my liquibet is on Bomber :'/
I guess the frustrating thing is: Fast 3 nexus into mass gate attack. Tons of bunkers so he holds. Then you have a 100 second window before chargelot archon is out. So even after you hold the mass gate, the toss isn't behind in tech at all as all his zlots (vs just getting 2 medivacs out) have charge and so you need to turtle back to a good ghost count on a large map like this, because you just can't engage cost effectively without a good ghost count. Maybe the solution is to go ghost before medivacs but on such a large map again, you need medivacs, or any stim you make to catch harassing units while you walk across the map hurts you a ton. I mean sure Bomber lost the 2 medivacs but his ENTIRE MAIN. ~12 gates, tons of pylons, a nexus, templar archive. Worth nothing?
Bomber really fucked up that attempted drop/attack nat on Daybreak though TT.

Of course it works.
Naniwa lost to that build against Zenio.
Yes it can work, but it's pretty much all in.
It's not light pressure that doesn't even have to do damage, but already pays off if you keep your opponent in his base, so I don't see how you can compare it to the Parting build except that both builds involve a fast third.

Taking Nani as an exemple who cuts every corners possible is pretty stupid most builds would have 4/6 FF available + some units, gl with your banes.

Yes, it is true. But Protoss can get a good idea of T's marine count and THEN decide to take a 3rd. If the T tries to hide his marine count by only have 2-3 marines at the ramp, the stalker will kill them all. Basically the stalker is the scout. If 2-3 marines, kite and kill and play safe since banshees might be coming. If 6-8 marines, then you can take quick 3rd.

What, you think Alicia is going to go for a macro game after losing all that? Look at the army supply, it wasn't in Bombers favor anymore after trading so inefficiently at Alicia's natural/3rd. His macro slipped or he didn't have enough production. Either way it shouldn't have happened.

Bomber spent so much time killing unpowered gates instead of going to the nat and killing the forges/probes.
It gave enough time to Alicia come back all the way back and defend.

1st game was a good example imo: blind vikings but then excellent movements and fights leading to a one sided victory, imo Alicia wasn't on par but I doubt Bomber can beat top protosses atm.

Maybe he shouldn't have lost his army advantage with split engagements. If he had just ran away, joined his army into a ball and attacked after he did all that damage in the base he probably rolls over him. Once he loses his army advantage, and THEN alicia is able to warp in and spend his bank, do you think hes not going to attack?

Are you stupid? You normally can't crash through the front door with an army disadvantage (which if he didn't have after having no production for 'some time', then its Bombers fault). What did he do specifically that allowed him to win?

Nah, just that Bomber is much more proven to have what it takes than Alicia.
Bomber isn't as good as he could be because of his tendency to make some weird decisions but his mechanical ability is right up there with anyone else. Alicia on the other hand has always been characterised by poor mechanics, despite some flashy plays that temporarily wowed people (his cool DT play in his original Code A run for instance).

Yeah i don't think Alicias comeback was that great. He just had a ton of money since he couldn't produced anything, warped in lots of units then attacked.
Bomber messed up by overextending more than Alicia having a great comeback. Call it a comeback, but its certainly not one of the classics.

Okay, Bomber leveled the main and Alicia had no production for a long time. And you say that he overestimated his advantage by thinking he didnt need bunkers?
He didn't "level" the main, he killed a few pylons and made Alicia pull his probes, that's it.
Key (Artosis) pylons. Nexus. Templar archive. Want to cherry pick more? Fact still remains that Alicia has 0 army production for quite some time. And then he makes a "great comeback" - as some here called it.
Did Alicia out-maneuver Bomber to make the comeback? Did he out-wit Bomber? Nope, he crashed through the front door. What a great comeback.
Are you stupid? You normally can't crash through the front door with an army disadvantage (which if he didn't have after having no production for 'some time', then its Bombers fault). What did he do specifically that allowed him to win?
You do realize that if Bomber had the groups of bio balls and medivacs that he donated to Alicia after he took out the Templar Archive, he most likely could have secured his 4th and then held of the counter attack that Alicia did after that? That was close to 40 supply he just threw for a couple of zealots, stalkers, pylons and probes. I thought he was doing amazing when it was happening, but on hindsight he really should have just ran after he had taken out the Templar Archives.

Yeah, that is my point. I was asking him to get him to think about how it was possible, instead of just complaining. I know what Bomber did wrong, but some people would rather focus on how Protoss has such and such advantage.
EDIT: rofllll there it is. You'd think Zergs would know since 2base timings are all he does and when you see four gas you know its not a gateway timing, and the only other thing he does is immortal ones. Might still win that shit is super hard to hold...
Man there is more whining in here then on world series of poker is about bad beats.... There is no real imba in this game as you can see there are allways different races winning big tournaments. i mean there are like 2 zerg in code S next year propably but its not because zerg is underpowered (DRG just won MLG so HOW can there be IMBA? and i am a zerg whiner myself) any game after a player loses that was because of imba.... why in the world is there only ONE single protoss in the world to ever win a gsl title ??? well because chrono warpgate is SOOOO IMBA it wins every game and thats why we have soooooo many gsl protoss champions there is no imba, just a flow of methagame which is shifting like every 1-2 months

Right here.
Chargelots are so stupid when it comes to multiple engagements. Terran can't stutterstep units on more than 1 front, I think I've watched Polt do it on 2 fronts, kind of. Basically forces a big deathball gameplay - something that most TL'ers don't hold in high regard.

Lol. Well there will always be this kind of balance whining. What I don't understand is why the race who has had without a doubt and by far the best percentage of presence in the playoffs of every big tournament for a year is the one which is whining the most. I'm a protoss, now I fell like zergs may be a bit underpowered but yet, I don't hear that many zergs balance whining while terrans are doing it all the time, even when terrans are just dominating the tourney. It's just indecent.
The non-DRG zergs on MVP are lagging about a year behind their Terran and Protoss counterparts in terms of achievements. Sniper and Monster seem to have a lot of potential, though (Monster's mechanics are basically DRG-level, judging by when he streamed).

Yes and he should have.
Staying on creep after killing the third without any option to bring other immortals makes no sense. Especially considering he had to warp in sentries at home.

Yeah because flank repeatedly, stall out toss long enough to get burrow move roaches, baiting out a ton of force fields, and waiting for your opponent to over commit into your natural is really just making roaches.

That was weird imo. Sentry/stalker/immortal + prism/obs... vs roaches... It's the ideal composition and still he just got rolled...

Monster is super good, just gets a bit nervous in broadcast games imo (think you could clearly see that at dreamhack too).
Sniper played very well last season, close to making Code S too.
Definitely a hard series to pick a winner in though, need more zergs but also need more zenex T_T

Stephano holds that push way easier - he never loses his third. When the push comes, he is almost maxed already.

would be better if he had something like 10+ sentries instead of his 6 or 7? I think i saw st squirtle did a push like this before except he did a 4 gate + 1 zealot timing first. Then he had so much gas he warped in like 10 sentries and pushed with 3 immortals. Was even more deadly than this.

True, but Sniper is not Stephano.
and just to say, this is avenges signature build and probably does it way better than most of the EU toss. I think i saw elfi take a game off stephano with this before though.

I said it was well played just above. But if you really want to hear it, I'll say it: he stalled out brilliantly...for more roaches. It's not even like his micro was perfect, he lost quite a bit of roaches by "baiting".
Avenge could have just retreated after the free third snipe, a better Protoss would have done that I think, but Avenge is probably more on the "random all inny" side of Protoss.

well, JYP tried twice against Stephano. he rolled him both times during IPL.
Voted macro game, just because I faith that some toss bar Genius, Hero and JYP no how to take thirds. Slowly but surely the timings are dying, hopefully if Avenge does Sniper will just crush it.

Your last point would have Avange take that game. I wish there was a more fancy way for Zerg to stop 2 base all ins but roaches seem the only thing that work.

If you're going to trade like that you need like 80+ drones so you can rebuild really quickly. The zerg is trading less than efficiently on an economy basically the same as the protoss, so it's not going to work.

Oh you Parting as well, I completely forgot. Squirtle seems extremely willing to do timings, at least in PvT, though his PvZ is pretty sweet.

PvT is the only matchup where he does a lot of timings in tournament games. He really has the best PvZ by far but sadly no one will see that for a long ass time because zergs failed so hard this season. T_T

See, if PvZ gets past 2 bases for the Protoss, it turns into such a beautiful game. (well at least until the Archon Toilet, but even then people are getting better at microing/neural parasiting against it). Please stop with the 2 base nonsense

We'll see. I gotta give you credit, you've been hyping him for ages before he had his breakout at IPL, and everyone else noticed him. He's in a long line of Toss since MC trying to take the title of best in the world, and while I think Squirtle is more in the line of Parting and Genius Protoss hopes (really good) rather than an Alicia, I'm still hesitant to say best PvZ, especially when MC has dropped one series in 2012 I believe.

Lategame where you get mass infestor/blord/corruptor and spinewalls is boring on alot of maps tho. I just hope HOTS gives a more dynamic answer to the composition rather than landing a good vortex

Warp prism ? Be creative ?
Yeah with warp prism (with speed even) the protoss can harrass worse than terran imo. The ability to warp in an army in the back of a base, or DTs, is scary. And with so many hp and so much speed it's really hard to shut the harrass down. Too many Protoss are used to the old turtle up till max and 1a, but some of the better Ps are starting to harrass and stuff so hopefully it'll catch on.
neither Nada or Byun should be out of GSL so its a tough one to call. but i feel like Nada might have a harder time making it back in so i hope he wins.

Well all of them weren't that good players in BW when they changed over. and fOrGG is quite consistent in the GSL code A/S and hyun is not in GSL yet i admit, but he showed some promise in dreamhack.

I wouldn't say it's hope based, they definitely know what they are doing in terms of risk-taking.

There's no way of knowing yet, but if that is the case i fear for nada, as Code B is already the hardest tournament around...that won't make it any easier.

let's face it, bw level is overrated. It will be the same with the upcoming switch.
Well all of them weren't that good players in BW when they changed over. and fOrGG is quite consistent in the GSL code A/S and hyun is not in GSL yet i admit, but he showed some promise in dreamhack.
Best player to switch so far was MVP and hes doing pretty fine no?

Indeed. It was a very small timing window that Nada had and Byun was acutely aware of it, as seen by how much he prepared to handle it. I'd say there's plenty of other players that are greedier than your average prime player, hell Byun lost at IPL to MMA after MMA took a third off a 1/1/1 set up with no real defensive units.

Hes really off form at the moment
well he is entering military service soon so I'm sure GSL isn't top priority.
He signed with CoL like 3 months ago so obviously his military service isn't going to happen for a little while longer.
I hope he sticks around long enough that if the SC2 proleague thing does go through he and July can go to the military and help ACE through the transition or something.
IF Nada really wanted to win a championship, he would have focused everything on his game and ignored his college (correct me if im wrong) and the running of Nada Mall.
I just don't think he practises enough anymore, especially with all the other distractions in his life.

Nada has said he wants to win a championship soon, that's why he joined CoL.
He said that and i still cant find any logic in this statement. Seems like opposite of it.
He REALLY wants to win one.
Im not sure if sarcasm or not but if he REALLY wanted to do it he had plenty of opportunities to do so. Its not like NaDa of all people couldn't handle it, he was in oGs but had different priorities at that time while oGs had one of the most stacked roster.

Don't think so. If CoL can support him in a way that he thinks will help in winning tournaments then i think it's a logical move to make.
I think the reason to join complexity was to win a good salary and some easy money on foreign events during his last progaming year before going to the army.
I don't think you can win GSL if you are not putting all your time in starcraft. Nada used to be in school, now he has his online shop and he has never lived in a team house for sc2

It's not like he's going to make a public statement that "oh i'm just cashing in on my fame before I go off to the military", of course he's gonna say "I want to win a championship soon", so does everyone else and his time's just about out. The lack of commitment/effort throughout his sc2 stint has been really disappointing.

Everyone who knows NaDa potential should know it already. But i was reluctant to say it, to be frank Boxer and NaDa are just enjoying well earned retirement . Competitive side of SC2 is just a small flavor of it. They already exhausted their potential in BW. And Nada frankly speaking still had potential to shake SC2 scene if he really wanted to which makes me kinda sad. Like barely half a year before sc2 release he was making a good run into MSL. He was really a Bonjwa in BW while he never looked like it while playing SC2 which is a pity kinda.
Seeing Nada in Code B sucks and is quite depressing. He's been such a consistently strong player for so long, but this new GSL format is so unforgiving.

Nada was not good enough. Its not the format that is unforgiving, He hasn't been good enough for a long time and the format showed that.

The format is unforgiving. As of right now, there is not a single player that has not fallen to Code A at least once since the change. As for Nada not being good enough, I think you might underestimate the Genius Terran. He's been one of the most consistent players in the GSL, and unlike guys like Ensnare, he actually made several deep runs. This season, he lost to Leenock, MMA and GKP, which are all very strong players who would have beaten most players they faced.

Him losing to Leenock was the dumbest thing I had to watch, using the same ineffective build twice in a row and just getting stomped without putting up a fight. Sure Leenock is better than him, and the format is less forgiving, but that doesn't mean his play hasn't been trash either.

I wish you could have worded that a bit better. But keep in mind, whenever someone plays better players, their play will always look mediocre in comparison.
I heavily reccomend the Vampire-Yugioh game, a more than 30 minute ZVP with intense positional and strategical play. In it: Neuraling a Warp prism 5 motherships being built. Queen-Baneling-Broodlord-Infestor play 6 base vs 6 base

cant wait for aLive vs Leenock and MMA vs NesTea, hard to believe that two out of those 4 wont make it to Code S.
Well, all 4 of them can make it to code S. Two of them will advance to round 3 and if they win there they are in Code S. The other 2 will go to up and down. Even if they are in the same up and down group they could both win and go on to Code S. Given the quality of these players I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that happened.

lol alive has been one of the best players in the world in the last while. The only easy choice in those matchups is the MMA vs Nestea since MMA doesnt really lose vsZ very often
Meh, just finish watching, code A level is so low compare to code S. Most of them screwed up many times and played so sloppily. The commentary by Khaldor is so sleepy Can't wait for code S to be back tho.

Nerves. Code S is prestigious but ultimately a safe tournament, Code A Ro48 is where all the eliminations happen.

code S is safe? Did I just see NaDa/Lucky and Inca fell from code S straight to code B?

You lose in Code S, you either drop to Code A Round 1 or Round 2. Everyone who falls to Round 2 is guaranteed a spot in Code A no matter how badly they perform over the rest of the season; everyone in Round 1 is in danger of dropping out of the GSL if they lose one Bo3. So yes the difference is VAST.
Sadly, this is probably the last we'll see of nada in the gsl forever as I can't see him getting through the qualifiers unless he gets an easy bracket. Pretty soon, he'll be going to the military and be gone.

If he can't make it through the qualifiers then he doesn't belong in the GSL.

That guy is just hating against aLive in each and every thread
aLive beat Leenock at Iron Squid quite comfortable, his TvZ is still a bit behind his other matchups, but its still damn near great.
