I nearly lost it when I watched game three of Casy vs July last week. The play that Casy made has not gotten the exposure it deserves, so I put together this little recap for you guys. Pens and papers out people.
Casy pulled a strategic move, so genius, it would make Boxer green with envy.
July scouts Casy, who has a handful of rines at his wall area.
Casy forces July's overlord back.
Casy transfers a group of SCVs to his nat minerals so July's overlord can see them.
Thinking that Casy is playing an FE build, July is too slow with his sunkens and is run over.
That's how you beat one of the best Zergs in the world in 6 minutes.
Casy exploited the overlord scouting that all Zergs rely on to make their strategic decisions. Absolutely brilliant.
What do you guys think of this dandy bit of deception? Am I making too much of it? Is it more awesome than I thought and I'm missing details?Last edit: 2007-02-06 19:50:00 |

| I saw it and was truly impressed. I didn't even notice until I wondered why the sunkens were so late, had to go back and watch again. Good stuff. |

When I saw it I thought it was really awesome. It was almost as awesome as BoxeR's CC lift. It also actually won the game, unlike BoxeR's cc lift [lol~]
I do think July was a bit careless in that he didn't send in sacrifice lings to check up on infantry numbers/composition every once in awhile. If he saw the little batch of meds/bats that casy was massing up then he would have been much better off. Only using the ovie as scout was insufficient. |

haha..i mentioned it in the sc2.org thread, and no one wanted to discuss it!
i was very surprised at how the commentators thought that was a very serious mistake...you can hear from their commentary.
i thought differently, however...it was a pretty slick move on Casy's part. i dun think the overlord went close enough to actually see a command center, but once July wasn't able to verify (only thinking there was a nat cc) he sent his zerglings down to skirmish, thinking Casy went 1 rax-command center!
thanks for the pics ManaBlue! |

i think July did send them down, since he wasn't sure of Casy's build, whether it was a 1 rax or 2 rax build. but making July think there was a nat cc done was slick in that he moved all his lings down to check up. |

| pretty well thought out trick but I think if july had of paid a little more attention to the fact the scv's didnt return he might of been able to react in time. |

| it reminded me too of Boxer's CC lift (and again this won the game as opposed to losing it lol) |

I don't think it was a fake for 1 rax CC, because Casy had a fairly large number of rines, which he made visible. I think it was intended to be a 2 rax CC fake.
The cool thing is that it happened so fast that the delay in sunkens, and the possibly scouting of Casy's growing infantry numbers could only have been done in the length of time it takes to build a medic and a fire bat because once Casy had stim and 3 firebats and a medic to go with his initial rines, he was already at July's nat.
The time windows are so small that the tiny delay in sunkens was all Casy was going for.
So awesome. These guys have it down to a science. |

| i meant to say that Casy wanted July to think he went 1 rax+CC. yeah you are right that he did go 2 rax CC, and that was the fake. July's overlord scouted before his lings made contact, so July didn't know the marine number other than the 6 or so that attempted to shoot it down, and by that time, his lings came down to investigate try to see the build. |

| I did not find it that impressive honestly. Since the scv aren't always mining... but yeah it won him the game I think. |

That's kind of the point. It all happened so quickly that the one extra round of drones instead of quicker sunk time is what got him that tiny bit of extra time he needed to attack.
The entire game from start to finish was only 6 minutes. |
